  1. I've never seen that purple 11 before.
  2. I'm not sure about this. KaijuDaddy, on Youtube, has several inside sources and he says that the response to Cyclops alone was much bigger than they expected. So much so they put out that poll in October. And the response to that was so huge, especially from outside of Japan, they actually rearranged the order of releases and bumped up the schedule. Spider-Man was originally gping to be second half of 26. The current fourth scheduled figure was originally the third until the poll. In addition, they're looking at alternate colors. And it won't be under the Gamerverse moniker but they are now considering making the non-Marvel characters. Even if they're the less interesting figures, Kaiju recommend buying them to keep the sales up because Bandai is absolutely paying attention.
  3. ...speaking of having a lunch eaten... Not sure how I feel about it. P2 Wolverine is cool and all but the third SHF figure after Spiderman is Wolverine. Not sure I want to have another Hasbro if SHF are looking like they to do it better.
  4. ThreeZero is trying to eat Jada's lunch now... although it will take them 18 months to get around to this figure.
  5. To be fair, that was accurate to Arad's Valk in the show.
  6. Unfortunately I don't have that kind of time. Why do you have to change it? Why can't your shelf be a reflection of one of those Movie posters or Artwork where it's the same Valk/Pilot in different modes at different angles?

    Bandai DX VF-31

    How I wish they would finish releasing the Super and Armor parts for the 31's...
  9. That happened to me with my Mafex AoA Cyke and Weapon X. I submitted a ticket and was tikd there's a long queue and referred me to their website about the warehouse reshuffle. No apology about any of it. When I got an e-mail asking to review the help I got the next day I said I had paid for the item and shipping prior to the warehouse move, I had zero apology from the employee about the initial hang up or the new situation, and expect my package to be at the front of the queue. They shipped within 8 hours.
  10. Looks like I'll be at 6 31A's.
  11. I'm not sure where to try to pick this up. HLJ are no longer honest brokers, in my opinion.
  12. In terms of the international crowd a lot of people wanted the 31A.
  13. I can't wait for Godzilla Minus Negative One.
  14. That's interesting, if you replaced DHL with UPS you would have summed up my problems where I live.
  15. HLJ is weird. DHL does not have a handling fee that high. I've shipped by them from other stores and have had to pay upon receipt and it's $7.
  16. I assume you aren't in a position to just ask them to leave the package? DHL works well for me, but I have the benefit of living on a cul-de-sac set back in a difficult to navigate neighborhood with a large, imposing fence so anything left is well hidden and the location does not accommodate an easy getaway. ...I do also pay $50k a year for someone to watch my disabled Mother so there's little time when a package would be left alone as well.
  17. That is not true, the whole handle slides backwards (or the body slides foward depending how you look at it) in addition to the handle pivoting out. You should be able to get the gunpod to point directly forward.
  18. Mini-Review. It's largely a Yamcadia VF-19. It has several of the upgrade/gimmicks you'd expect from Bandai and it also has missing/worse features because Bandai can never just do something correct the first time. For instance, upgraded ankles have better range/articulation, but not as much as the YF-19. However, for some reason the joint at the intake doesn't have the same range of motion as the YF-19. It has the more limited range of the Yamcadia. So it poses slightly better in Gerwalk than the previous VF-19... but only slightly so, and the older Bandai YF-19 poses infinitely better. It's also a hell of a lot more finicky than the Yamcadia. The whole section behind the cockpit is a bitch to keep together. And the gunpod extension mechanic is a good idea executed poorly.
  19. Without thinking I cancelled my order at Amazon Japan, though I think I had to pay up front. At any rate, it shipped via DHL and they credited me the difference in the lower price. However, I was not charged shipping nor was I charged for tariffs.
