Nightbat Posted August 21, 2003 Posted August 21, 2003 So, surprise when the mailman delivered a package after workhours without any taxes turned out to be the 10 trading figs I ordered from HLJ (which are packaged per 10 pcs btw) So I start opening them Hikaru,... next: Hikaru clear hair Minmay,... Next: Minmay clear hair well... my collection was complete (these were the 2 figs I wanted initially) but there were still 6 boxes to open To make a long story short ow I have all 5 figs (though not the bonus doll, but I could care less for it) and all 5 in clear Hair versions heh, and they say I have no luck (well,... I don't,... but,... nevermind! ) Quote
bandit29 Posted August 21, 2003 Posted August 21, 2003 Ya I got mine last week from HLJ. I ordered 10 they sent me 9 in the blue box. The only one I'm missing is the clear hair Mylene which I don't really give a crap about. HLJ is sending me another figure , EMS for free no less. I wonder which one I'll get. Overall these things are pretty cool. You can remove Hikaru's hair and put his helmet on. I really like the Minmei figures. The next wave of figures is due Feb 2004 Quote
H Kakizaki Posted August 21, 2003 Posted August 21, 2003 I ordered 10 right before it became out-of-production status at HLJ and i'm patiently waiting (i believe the order got held up a couple of days becasue of the recent holiday in japan). It seems like everyone who has ordered ten has gotten a complete set of one of the versions, normal or clear. I haven't heard of anyone getting the special figure though, i guess i'll get to see how lucky i am when i open the box. Quote
Manji Posted August 21, 2003 Posted August 21, 2003 I have really been wanting a set of these figures...about how tall are they? Any chance of some pics Nightbat? Quote
H Kakizaki Posted August 21, 2003 Posted August 21, 2003 I just realized i miss out on one figure if, IF, i get the special figure~ NOOOOOOOOOO!!!!! Quote
bandit29 Posted August 21, 2003 Posted August 21, 2003 Well if anyone really needs a Minmei trading figure that badly ***cough***rip off***** http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI...9&category=1345 Quote
Vostok 7 Posted August 21, 2003 Posted August 21, 2003 I want a Hikaru and Ishtar!! Maybe a Mylene too. Definitely an Ishtar though. V7 Quote
Nightbat Posted August 21, 2003 Author Posted August 21, 2003 No cam -> No pics (Yeah, Violation of MW-Toys Rule#1, I know) Quote
UN Spacy Posted August 21, 2003 Posted August 21, 2003 I can't wait to see your pics (once you get them), I've been thinking about picking up a set of these for some time. I hope they're still available at HLJ.com . Quote
BoBe-Patt Posted August 21, 2003 Posted August 21, 2003 man, I'ma have look this weekend at frank and sons to get a box in. Man I hope they have these in. I just want a set, I don't care about the clear hair thing. I wouldn't mind getting the minmay doll either. So we'll see. Quote
Drad Posted August 21, 2003 Posted August 21, 2003 Does anyone know a good place to get these online besides eBay or HLJ? The prices for some trading figures/gashapon on eBay are insane.. and that's before they charge you $20 shipping for 5-6 little figures. Damn Hong Kong toymongers. No thanks. Quote
Vermilion_32 Posted August 21, 2003 Posted August 21, 2003 Mine are waiting for me at home because the mailman just delivered them. I'll post tomorrow if I got any to trade. I hope not because I ordered just 10 and I want a set, we'll see. Quote
Skull 001 Posted August 21, 2003 Posted August 21, 2003 Does anyone have pics of all the figures and a link where to order them. I can't seem to find one. Quote
bandit29 Posted August 21, 2003 Posted August 21, 2003 HLJ doesn't have them up for sale right now and the prices on ebay are just ridiculous. These figures are around 5.00 a piece, not 18.00-20.00 or 39.99 for that Minmei doll. Quote
UN Spacy Posted August 21, 2003 Posted August 21, 2003 Ditto. If anyone has five of the "regular" figures I'd be willing to pick up a set if you're selling them. B) Quote
Dangard Ace Posted August 21, 2003 Posted August 21, 2003 Well if anyone wants to sell just Hikaru, Ishtar, and Minmay LMK. Those are the three I want. Mylene and Mao are extras if I've got the $$$. Quote
Skull 001 Posted August 21, 2003 Posted August 21, 2003 I only want Hikaru and Minmay. But if anyone finds them let us know where. Oh yah are they going to make more. I would also like a Focker, Max and Millia. Quote

According to the box, the next stage is due Feb 2004. If that set includes Basara I'll have to burn it lol I wonder if more of the first stage figures will be availible. They seem to have vanished, online at least, awfully fast. I'll keep an eye out. Quote
Sam Posted August 21, 2003 Posted August 21, 2003 . I haven't heard of anyone getting the special figure though, i guess i'll get to see how lucky i am when i open the box. I got one! Its chunky, i reckon it has more plastic in its head than the other figures have on their whole body! Personally ordered 10and got clear and coloured of everyone except mac zero babe in coloured hair.. They look nice, which they held together a bit more, nothing some glue wont fix. Almost as cool as the Rurouni Kenshin trading figures! Quote
robokochan Posted August 21, 2003 Posted August 21, 2003 Well if anyone really needs a Minmei trading figure that badly***cough***rip off***** http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI...9&category=1345 Actually that is a pretty good price. I have seen them sell on yahoo Japan for close to $90.00 just for that special figure. Quote
Vostok 7 Posted August 22, 2003 Posted August 22, 2003 That Mao is a cutie. Too bad she's jailbait Can anyone sell me a Hikaru and Ishtar? Anyone? Maybe even a Mylene too? Vostok 7 Quote
Commander McBride Posted August 22, 2003 Posted August 22, 2003 That Mao is a cutie. Too bad she's jailbait What Macross girl isn't? Mylene, Minmay, even Millia! Quote
Sam Posted August 22, 2003 Posted August 22, 2003 Well guys just took a photo of those figures, so those who haven't seen em, can B) Quote
Graham Posted August 22, 2003 Posted August 22, 2003 Sorry, couldn't resist posting these pics again from the old forum. Minmay and Mylene perform a duet! And then later that night, Minmay gives a special *private* show for Hikaru's eyes only................ Graham Quote

Yohsho Posted August 22, 2003 Posted August 22, 2003 And then later that night, Minmay gives a special *private* show for Hikaru's eyes only................ I think those guys were smart when they decided to put those panties on Minmay. Imagine if they got lazy and didn't paint those things on. Quote
