Thanks for the heads up on HLJ, went with them so I wouldn't have to pay upfront like AE. :)
Japanese retailers are starting to list it now, ie E-Hobby, Amazon Japan and Digitamin (note none of these ship internationally)

Plus one more pic from @TFYUKI - looks like he has no problem swinging with the sharp edge of the sword!

fact remains your still paying a lot more with hlj.
True, but cost isn't the only factor for me ;) I'm will ing to pay a bit more for the superior customer service that HLJ offer in the event of an issue. AE aren't exactly known for the same.Quote:

I think I know what you're saying... Those colours are just awful, but I do like my masterpieces. Between this and exhaust having his own number (not a sub-number) I'm not overly impressed. UM, WJ and BB look great though :-)Quote:

I would say a nemesis "Decepticon version" would be in the cards. It would probably be black, dark grey and purple I would assume.Quote:

Please explain more. I have never had an issue with AE. They have always given me excellent customer service even if I had an issue, it was always resolved quickly.Quote:

Wooooo ordered 2. Thanks guys for notifying of HLJ
Not me personally but have read of people having an issue, mainly with Macross stuff, and AE have been reluctant to provide a satisfactory resolution. I can only recall 2 examples in all the years I've been stalking/participating on different hobby boards but yeah. YMMV. :)Quote:

Two?! have you got a black hole for display space? This thing's huuuge! :D:pQuote:

now that stand thingy for the shield is awesome. Way to go Takara!
Very cool use of the shield but does that also mean that it doesn't store anywhere in alt-mode? Because if so that's mildly disappointing.
In the last pic (blue background) it looks like the shield is stored under the V-Star.
+1, lookin like a true Masterpiece releaseQuote:

Sword will store in the blue side sections just like the cartoon!
If they keep releasing photos so constantly we'll be sick of this thing well before it comes out in March!
