for making all the important decisions ........and for barking orders while wearing oversized hat and flared collars.

totally depends on the state of my finances but looking at the forums do pump me up at times! It used to be couple hours each day when i first started collecting again, trying to pick up missed items. Mandarake is a notorious time killer.....to buy or not to buy.... But nowadays its more time spent posting in here mwf! I just need to lock up my credit card should there be nice postings on collectables...which is often....

Somehow my purchases via paypal end up costing higher than i calculated due to processing fees or their exchange rates. Wont go too much into that..

i got a pop up msg saying the BIJ website might be vulnerable to the heartbleed security bug. Did anyone else get that message? Am using chrome w AVG software. Again, its not reflective of their reputation as i have not used them and am not trying to discourage anyone using them.

Opps i forgot BIJ was also in the 29 k range... retail wise NY is cheaper approx 160 yen but thats not much.... am sure others have been using them but havent used them so far ....

Been refreshing HLJ, amiami, biginjapan, hobby search, CDjapan its looks like its available. but NY is the only one retailing at a figure starting at 29,xxx. The rest start with 3x,xxx.

looks like a good deal compared to others.. congrats on your double order! Mine is definately going to be battroid mode only due to the reactive...

finally roy came out of stealth mode in NY...gotcha!

maybe the vf-0s sold on NY is the stealth version

vf-0A available on NY...no sign on the S yet tho....

Yeah was referring to the pelvic joints, more of a critique to the angle of the photograph. They could have had it angled a bit to reduce the gap shown of the hips to the body or not pulling the hips so far away from the nose cone. i thk it can still hold the kneeling pose with the hips closer to body. Been waiting on that also...perhaps they are doing up their discount and evaluating if they would get enough volume to justify it... perhaps being the last to list has the best offer...

I know its a toy, but those thin joint connectors are so obvious in this pic... maybe not the best angle for a promo pic...Open up!

I would be royally pissed if the reactive armour works with the old yamato roy...which meant i could hv gotten the old yammie... arcadia wouldnt do that...would they? oh well they wouldnt tell us now if they it could........

Of all the pics this caught my eye....i like the vents detail on the cheeks.. perfect for line marking ... that aside i hope the actual model would be impressive...i admit am only in it for the reactive armour pairing...

lots (and i mean lots!!) of close up pics at hobby search..... content section especially... http://www.1999.co.jp/eng/image/10344021n8/40/8 preview till ur hearts content!

you can shout yahoo in a 19 but try doing that in a 21 with ur thumbs pressed together....you probably go into a tailspin! on the other hand you can probably eat a sandwich in the 21 while flying whilst in the 19 u gotta have both hands on the joystick... sorry, channelling some isamu logic ..*wakes up*

what would add insult to injury is 'IF' the rates improve drastically next few weeks...but btr secure this hot cake first...plus you wouldnt know if its worse rates ... ok time to plan for vf-0s and the reactive.... ...

Finally got the payment request too!

Thats good to hear! I did email them too but of course they naturally say pay now and receive your item later! Good to hear no major complaints with em... Sorta wished paid beforehand when the rates were btr but hey the currency wars isnt something you can accurately predict...

Just realised i didnt get any email to pay on my pre-order with Nippon Yassan. I emailed them and they said email to ask for payment should be out soon... Should i pay anyway beforehand, or would there be instances i cant get my money back should they not have stock...

Nice! i hope its old boosters and not there is a new one incoming...

wow its hard to pick a favorite, cos they all are favorites in their own particular way. Ok going old skool here...I would say roys vf-1s and the vt-1 super ostrich ranks up on my list. vf-1s with its colors and insignia with strike pack just screams dont even thk of messing with me. the ostrich for its colors, double boosters (big is beautiful) plus that one of a kind head! corny but still the only clip i can find with both of the aircraft in.... On the destroid front its got to be the phalanx with the iconic M ...you just know its M for Macross! (and then it opens up and all those missiles!)... edited ostrich name

@saburo not only are you tempting me to get more valks but also more photo gear ......no worries...keep on shooting!

Purple yam ...purple yam...*sung to the tune of purple rain*
