  1. David, you didn't get one of the Exia's? you might wait and see if BBTS gets it this time too. On a side note, my wife was home on Friday and was able to sign for one of my Red Frame and Flight unit sets. I have to pick the other set up today from the post office. I did not open it yet, HS packed it very nicely and they wrapped it nicely too.
  2. I got charged this morning for mine, now I can release my VF-4G, High resolution Gundam Barbatos and this from HLJ PW.
  3. Thanks for clearing that up, I will most likely skip that release then. I have skipped all the other prism coat releases so I might as well just stick with all of the ones that don't have it.
  4. Personally I like the GFFMC toys, they present me with a way to have the unicorn suits on display without having to build kits. They have nice detailing and tons of accessories, I think the high cost of the phenex may be related to the gold coloring maybe. I don't remember the older releases costing this much. The GFFMC Unicorn variants are not as playable as the Metal Builds but they sure display well. I still have not played with my RX-78-2 The Origin but from the pics I have seen it looks like it is more pose able than the unicorn models. It might have some thing to do with the design though as I don't think the unicorn kits have any more pose ability either, but the GFFMC appear to be more playable than the kits. So what is this other Unicorn shown above in the magazine scans? It looks like a reissue of the awakening version, but I cannot tell if it is supposed to be another version.

    ^ Agreed, I had to miss out on Macross F toys until the renewals came out.

    About the size of the monster, I hope I don't get bent over too hard when they ship. I ordered 2 from the same shop (HS). I think it may be painful to look at the shipping total when this gets released..
  7. I pre-ordered one, hope the usd-yen exchange rate is better by oct. I have my fingers crossed that is the case because this thing is pricey.
  8. It's like Christmas today for me, HLJ just billed me for the high resolution model Gundam Barbados. I want to ship it with my Arcadia VF-4 but think I might hold out until the Cosmo fleet special SDF-1 is released so I can ship all 3 together.
  9. It is the same except for the head unit is slightly different and you have a different color scheme. The thing is though this release is Alto's machine so it would be a more iconic piece to some collectors. I skipped it on the initial release but bit the bullet when they reissued it the first time. The biggest issue I can see with these late reissues is that it will probably cost a bit more to get the supers now.
  10. Thanks for the tips F360. I got my shipping notice for my red frame and backpack flight unit from CDJ, I forgot to even look at my inbox yesterday and noticed HS has requested payment for my second set of these, will get that paid ASAP lol.
  11. Does anyone here think the pre-order for the GFFMC on Kombini is legit? And what is up with the shipping estimate? I really need to source at least one of them to add to my Unicorn collection.
  12. I left my VF-4G In my PW hoping some other releases come out before shipping it from HLJ. I will be ok though as I still have my Yamato's sitting on my hobby table, I just feel kinda weird having bought it but not shipped it since release. I hope everyone that missed it the first time around are enjoying this toy.
  13. What happened to it? Did it not hold?
  14. I'm guessing he may have gotten a hold of some of the yeti nub replacements. I curios about the heat shield pin mod that was done. Mine are both still nib but I will be pulling at least one of them out and would like to be able to play with it lol. I already have some of the yeti nubs from the run he did at home initially.
  15. Yeah it looks like he is going for his "big nose" lol

    If your suitcase went through the conveyor system, I could believe that it got broken. I have seen how those suitcases get thrown around. I would suggest if traveling in the future to put your loot in a carry on bag. I can't trust the airport goons to even have a tiny bit of care for your luggage.

    Now i'm wondering if any of the 6 I bought will have any of your issues with looseness. The one I opened up is nice and tight I can pose the thrusters and rear guns any way I want and they stay put. Maybe there is a way to remove them and get them tightened up.

    It was too hard for me to care about the Hi Metal line last time around with Yamato valks around for the same price or lower.. This time though I am fully in so far and have managed to get every release thus far.
  19. Hey Jason, sorry to hear about your families loss, I hope you are all doing well.

    I got 3 (CDJ) of the 6 regults I ordered a couple of days back. I opened one of them up and am thoroughly impressed, I have always wanted to have one in my collection with scaled valks. I passed up the HDP version even though I really wanted it twice. I think I am ok with these HMR versions, plus we get a Monster and a Glaug. Hopefully all of the Destroids and power armor get released as well. I don't have any official numbers but it seems this HMR toy line is doing well.
  21. When nothing else is around, I go for the bag of floss picks. They are pretty darn versatile

    I would call my PO and pray to the god's that they hold it there for you since you are out of town. My post office is stupid though and would probably send it back anyways...
