    Well, haven't gotten updates for several days, an email from BBTS was the first notice I got that the VF-0 was available. Sure I'm paying more, but it's better than being stuck not being able to cancel.

    God damn…that’s a lot of cheddar for a 5.5 inch figure…. I’m tempted since it does look really good, but my Macross shelf really only has room for one more robit…

    You think your having issues with your Macross collection @fschuler? Sell off your unwanted Macross stuff, Star Wars stuff and more so that you have more space. Problem solved right? :p

    So the BBTS listing mentioned coming with head lasers, does that mean the lasers have to be removed for transformation or they're just including an extra pair?

    I’m happy about the fact that I really don’t have much of anything that I regret buying. There are probably a few MCU figures and some SW BS impulse buys I could get rid of, but it’s only about a shoe box’s worth of stuff…and they’re in storage and not using any display space anyway. The real bummer is that there’s SO much stuff coming out that I just don’t have space for. The biggest issue for me with that HMR is really the price, to be honest. I have DXs that cost only a little more than that.

    Extra ones. One set is animation accurate and the other is more initial design sketches accurate

    I think the only 25 that looked better with super parts was the 25A. That one was my favorite of the bunch.

    At $200 that is admittedly tempting and I’m not even a fan of the '25 design.

    Same. Missed all the Japan pre-orders. My preferred store is HLJ since they have an easy cancellation policy/procedure. I just decided to go with Entertainment Earth to save a few bucks. I'd rather pay the late tax via EE or BBTS than the ebay late tax.

    Edit: I'm hoping Amazon US will list it at some point like the VF-25 and YF-29.

    Man, the Worldwide 25 is looking so good. I am both drooling in anticipation and dreading it arriving here. Can't wait to get my hands on it...but the toy budget is stretched pretty thin at the moment. :lol 

    On the plus side, got a preorder for the HMR VF-0S in, and for about $105 US. Pretty par for the course HMR in Taiwan. Should have plenty of time to save for it, since it isn't due til October. :lol

    Yeah Amazon will eventually have the 0S. Might take them a few weeks like the 29.

    Even less if you are in the us and check out using JPY and credit card because of the exchange rate!
