    @Mintox - I would be very interested in seeing and perhaps discussing with you the cutting and fitting the canopies on the Cat's Eye...That's the part that is keeping me from finishing mine at some point. Chopper looks great!

    Am I the only one that really loves the colored top clear stands that makes all 5 lions look like they are flying upwards just like in the title sequence of the show? That's freakin awesome! Times like this I wish I had $$$ laying around! Oh well. Congrats to those who can swing this one! It looks like it's gonna be epic! I'll just be over playing with my SOC Lion Voltron...

    Well, if there is anyone who pre-ordered from Anime Export, and haven't heard anything, here's what I had to do....NO EMAIL from them on of after release day, I sent one nice short message on their website two days ago and heard nothing, so then yesterday I logged into my account on their website and lo and behold, there was my VF-1D sitting there in the "paid" row. I had to click a link, then the item moved to "shipping" something or other, then I got an email almost instantly saying they are calculating shipping. A few hours later I got another email saying my item was awaiting shipping payment. So this morning I logged in again and clicked the "pay shipping" link and paid my $42 and change for "Fast Shipping", "Economy Shipping" was the exact same price...LOL. So whatever, my VF-1D is on the way today hopefully! I guess my point here is, apparently AE is "Self Serve" now at least for me! For those keeping track, pre-order price plus shipping total out the door was $323.00 for me. As I typed that, and let it sink in, this hobby is now really getting out of my price range. That's getting damn close to what I paid for DX Vehicle Voltron! I think I'm out on 1:48 DX's.

    @peter - thanks! Soooo close now on the Runabout - gotta fix some paint boo boos around the windows, which I knew 3 months ago was gonna bite me in the butt, but I just kept going, now I'm gonna have to remedy it. After that, it's gonna be time to get it on the stand and have a grand unveiling! Stay tuned!

    Sounded like Bill Murray??? The wife and I are all in for this. Good or bad, we're gonna see it on the big screen!

    I emailed Anime Export on their website contact feature this morning. Still radio silence from them on mine...We'll see what happens.

    If budget allows, I would love to put my name in the hat for this one! I had to miss out on the Garfish and the Lloyds, , but I'm one of the lucky few with the big carrier ship, can't remember the name right now, this would be a great companion to that!

    These will be very deserving of being plastered ALL OVER social media once they are completed!!!

    That would be sweet @Jasonc, as the new DX Fan Racer is so close in scale, whether it's accurate or not, LOL...these could be used for both versions!

    @Return To Kit Form - Damn man, that is one absolutely gorgeous sex machine! Great weathering! I love it!
  12. derex3592
    AGREED. $50+ is already a lot for the figures they are producing IMHO, buuut, that being said, the new Roy is worth it I think.

    I'm a casual G1/86 movie TF'ers collector to say the least, but I watched a YT video review today of a new Bumblebee that I guess hasn't been released yet that transformers into his little flying saucer Cybertronian mode as seen in the 1st episode of G1 and I was like "I SO gotta have this!!!" Can any of you guys tell me if this is gonna be some stupid exclusive that's next to impossible to get or if I can just casually look for it on Amazon or Target or Wall Mart's websites at some point in the near future?

    Decals are down on the Runabout including my own little custom TX roundel. I think it works! Quick clear coat today and then on to some weathering tomorrow... Think I'm gonna go dig out my oil paints for this one... 🤔

    If I can match the red/orange..I'll be painting over the GIANT H on the Fan Racer. Bandai really went nuts on the tampo again....Not sure where they got that particular reference. Anyone know?

    @MKT - Friendly warning on the Airwolf model/toy - My electric motor died less than a year after I got it and I maybe turned it on like 10 times, also beware of the door hinges on the cockpit, they are verrrry fragile. One of mine is "sprung" and doesn't close all the way now. I also had to put a tiny drop of CA glue on the tail rotor to keep it from coming off. Just FYI.

    Dang, still radio silence from AE today. Darn.
  21. derex3592
    I agree. It's different enough to be cool with the Tron-esque paint job. It will be interesting to see how Bandai handles it. I'll have to try for one on PO night!
  22. derex3592
    Still nothing from AE on my end....
  23. derex3592
    @sqidd - I would have gone to $2!!!

    I'll reserve final judgment until I have it in hand and put a few hours of work into it, panel lining it and making the frakin landing gear properly WHITE. uhhgg, Really ridiculous how close they came to giving us the "best" VF-1 yet, but then stumbled at the finish line by not doing the landing gear white, not making the arms lock into place in fighter mode and I dunno about anybody else, but I could totally live without the stupid waist swivel "ohh my Valk comes in two every time I transform it" feature. Whatever. Rant mode off...for now.
