    Great to know this is coming back! Will Mari Iijima be attending this year?

    Anybody else's VF-1D from Luna Park still stuck in limbo?? Tracking that was provided to me on 7/27 still says this: Shipper has generated a shipment label, but the shipment has not yet been handed over to DHL July, 26 2021 19:14 Local time | Service Area: TOKYO - JAPAN

    I see local state tax being added to my invoice. I guess tax free purchases really don't exist anymore.....first amazon US, then eBay, then amazon JP.

    I've been out of the loop, what happened to the new macross series? I remember we used to have a thread about it, did it get canceled? Or did it turn out to be the second Delta movie?

    BANDAI DX YF-19!!

    locidm replied to seti88's topic in Toys

    Opened mine from CDJ and inspected it, Antenna intact. First impression on fighter mode only is that I like the Arcadia a lot more. The Arcadia just feels more solid, with a more premium surface finishing, and a superior feel overall. The Bandai feels like a toy, with lots of tampo printing, and perhaps due to mistransformation out of the box, connections feel loose. Not a close debate in my mind.

    It's been awhile since my last good haul, I'm quite excited about this one!

    Finally opened my Rey

    I really like the hangars that come with these. They’re very sturdy and feel good to build. I opened up the 102F also and like it just as much as the 101.

    My old and extremely yellowed HM VF-1J finally found something to cover itself. While yellow still visible at least it looks menacing.

    I don’t get it, Bandai is able to do perfect transformation with VF-31 and SV-262, which are much more complicated designs. Why would anyone doubt any different with the simple VF-1?

    Just amazon jp. I was checking it every day for months. Price finally dipped right before it sold out. Woohoo! Another Legioss! ET’s title of arguably-best Legioss now seems to be temporary! Looks like Sentinel might have figured out how to fold the feet right finally? Hard to tell from the angle. And yay we’ll get yellow and fuke!

    I had waited and waited and finally got the eta for like $160 before shipping few months ago and now it’s sold out everywhere. I’m glad I got it and love love love how it looks. Too bad I don’t think the red or green will ever drop that low as I imagine the run will be much lower and faster to sell out.

    Bandai DX VF-31

    locidm replied to UN Spacy's topic in Toys

    Thanks for pointing this out! I didn't know either. Now I don't need to track down another pair, and no need to get myself the 31J Kai either.

    Hi-Metal R

    locidm replied to joppewo's topic in Toys

    VT-1 is still available on HLJ, I wonder if it means it's really not popular! This blows the chance of ever seeing the 1/60 reissued.....

    this came 4 weeks ago, finally got to take him out last night. It's a gorgeous piece.......the ARMDs are for sure much harder to get on compared to the Yamato version. Haven't put on the screw covers yet. Hoping to free the VF-31A, regult pack, and Big O full package from their brown boxes soon.

    It's alright. The panels are basically on printed cardboard, which is sturdy. All of mine came flat, which was nice, as I've read review with warped panels. The panels don't stand by themselves so I have them propped against something else. They connect well side by side, but getting it to connect in perpendicular fashion is a little trickier. THe floor panels do not connect at all. I think the print and overall quality is good enough to do what i want, which is for the autobots to hang out and for me to take pictures, and with the occasional decepticons attacks. Too bad I don't have a place for it to sit on permanently, it's just too large. It's easy enough to setup though.

    I caved and got the extreme set deluxe control center. It’s huge! This gives me incentive to complete my season 1 bots. Now where did my Rachet go?

    Finally shipped my loot from AE:

    Any help on this would be appreciated!

    Hey guys I was messing with my ET Legioss tonight and specifically looked into pegging in the two missile sets that goes underneath the intake. If I’m not mistaken, the end with the red tip typically face forward, but it doesn't peg in well at all in this orientation. However, I noticed that if I place the missiles with the red tips facing the tail end of the fighter (instead of red tip facing forward), the missiles peg in very securely. The pegs actually has different thickness at its base to keep the missiles level when pegged in this way. Upon closer inspection, each missile has two sections, one short and one long end. I believe the short end is supposed to be in the back. However, ET has the tip of the short end painted red and the long end left unpainted. I suspect this was a painting error. If the missiles are placed with the short end on the back, the tip of the long end lines up well with the chest/intake piece, and actually looks better this way. So it may be a simple fix of painting the tip of the long end red and stripping the paint off the short end tip. Can anyone confirm? Thanks!

    Another epic custom, is it the one by DarrinG? I see lot's of EXO's creations as well. Love them all!

    I think you should be very proud of your self control!

    Ya tentative preorder means amiami has requested an order of the product from the manufacturer but the order has not yet been confirmed. Once the order is confirmed, if you had made a tentative preorder, amiami will email you and let you know that they are able to confirm the order. At that point they'll also change the tentative preorder to preorder.

    Macross figures

    locidm replied to CF18's topic in Toys

    It's just Testor enamel I got from the local Michael's. At some point I'll spray matte coating over it to get rid of the shine. Note that i left the skin and hair unpainted.
