F360 keeps this board updated, if I see one as well, I'll let you know, I got a PO as well, if my mate doesn't take it, hit me up. Got lucky I was able to secure some and yes, my orders have the limited stand that is included with the figure. Can't wait for this figure, my first Macross figure! Goodluck! oh yeah, I can't wait for the VF1s Roy Fokker version!!!!! Oh hell yeah! VF-1S Roy Focker version is a MUST for me!!! And i want all other dx chogokin VF-1 variants. I have already sold nearly all my dx chogokin variable fighters, and i have space to spare!

If people aren’t going to buy it, then why they order it, It really ruins it for both the seller and serious buyers. TH’x Oh, most wants to buy, but just choose to hop around when they see better pricing elsewhere. Not a crime, but highly disruptive to the retailers. Depends which side of the fence you are standing i, for one, always go back to my trusted sources and stick with them until release.

If i need to cancel i just let the pay due date run out...THEY cancel it for you. But Even BBTS canceling process is bit "hidden" now...i had to dig through to cancel. Can't blame Amiami, when they made it clear they don't normally do cancellation. So attitude or not, it is in fact a courtesy for them to do so for you. Not liking it, but it is their policy. So I just buy from them only when I am sure of the purchase. May have only cancelled once through the years because of that. That’s true. I guess one of my go to retail shops locally works in pretty much the same manner. The quantity they order from suppliers is highly dependent on the number of preorders placed, with a little extra stock (sometimes) and like amiami, out of good will, they do not require deposit. So, when buyers start cancelling orders along the way, it affects this process (clearing excess stock can be a problem as well), which to be honest, is not very fair to them as well. Not really sure how amiami deals with supposedly “blacklisted” customers as noone have ever experienced this, but the local shop i go to, at the very least, will not offer any hard to get or very limited items to such customers. Not sure if this everyone is aware of this, online shops like bbts have resorted to collecting non-refundable deposits now (i preordered a HT from them recently). Not sure if they have done this before. I guess this effectively stop customers from jumping ship when they see better prices elsewhere. My beef with amiami’s customer service is i find them a little robotic and not judge matters on a case by case basis. NY on the other hand, does not allow cancellation anymore the last time i asked them

WOW, I knew they were bad, but NOT that REALLY BAD . TH'x Well, to be fair, their preordering process, packaging are excellent and shipping charges are pretty reasonable as compared to say, nippon-yasan. But they ought to improve on their cancellation process.

Just asked them nicely..as dont want my account to be cancelled..i got a vf1j hikaru as pre order thus unable to afford voltes v this is what i dont like about AmiAmi, the poor attitude i asked them to cancel my GX-60R and they said " this cancellation has been performed as a courtesy"
seriously F**K them
You guys think this is bad, i ordered a t-shirt from them, wanted to change the size (NOT cancel) and they regarded this as order cancellation and send me the same message and with a warning as well. Utterly ridiculous!

Say...does this “FA” series unofficially signal the end of the SRC line or have the SRC line already been terminated? The SOC line seems to get more blurry now.

Yes, i agree. You should keep it. Especially if your relationship with your grandparents was great. Keeping it is worth more than whatever money you get from the sale.

If the TRU in my country closes, i dont think any of you will miss it. It is mainly stock with kiddy toy’s and very little collectibes let alone exclusives. Glad that many of you have good memories of TRU in your country

i bought the tank and fighter jet when they release the new line mainly because i like how they look but have since stop buying them because i prefer robots with diecast and more weight in them eg SOCs, exception being GFFMC, Metal Build and the likes due to their superior build quality. The 2 figures which i bought reminds me of those heavy plastic, carded transformers figures i use to buy long ago but have since stop collecting and their paint job if any at all)/colouring is not fantastic either, same reason i have been avoiding the new diaclone line (unsure of the correct name) either. So, if the new blue jet continue to follow the current build philosophy of the manufacturer, then most probably will be an easy pass for me, even though this fella holds a place in my heart as i actually owned one, the vintage one to be exact, when i was a kid.

Guys (may be it's not the right post but I asked here), finally I got grendizer gx04s following your advice and I'm really loving it, it's like a child's dream. It looks great next to my other soc gx01r and gx02r. Articulation is a bit dated but I see love and dedication in every detail, every spacer looks great. I won't be buying the new version, I'm sure most of you will enjoy it and that it will be great but I'm more than happy with my oldie Gx04s is the best soc and my personal favourite, even if its a little dated now

Hi, on my Maskman 5 there are no springs in the die-cast legs to shoot the drill bits... so the spring would need to be in the drill bit. Maybe check some day would be curious to know the answer. I recently saw this Maskman 5 go for a crazy price in Japan but I think it was an early version or special edition because the box is slightly different -actually its another country/language version!: page.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/e265171247About Flash King -- it has a good amount of diecast in the chest and the construction is really unique as arms and legs are connected by a metal rod and the torso slides over it in the DX version. It looks very cool together with its mothership. I have a hard time deciding which of these combining Super Sentai are my favorite, but I think its necessary to judge the combination with the mothership. If I think of the combo then I think Changeman DX & Change Shuttle are my favorite followed by Sun Vulcan and Vulcan Jaguar <- Vulcan Jaguar is crazy cool! I think Dynaman is maybe the best looking robot... and Bioman is very cool. Anyway its tough to decide on my favorite I like all of them when paired with the mothership. Thats the korean version based on the wordings. Never seen that before.

Was there in december, and unless i am looking at the wrong places, it is not easy to find SOCs in tokyo. The only place with a decent selection is madarake @ nakano broadway.
