I only ordered one back on 1/26 and it’s still sitting at “waiting to be shipped” status. I haven’t emailed them yet but I’m getting irritated. Anyone have a link to their site where it’s in English? Because I can’t tell what all the links are. If they have any common sense they will open and inspect the VT-1 stock they have and only ship ones that are not broken. That way the factory damaged items stay in their hands to work out exchange with Bandai and they do not have to field a bunch of angry customer returns with shipping complications. It’s obvious so they probably will not do that.

Anyone else who ordered from Luna Park show an order status of “Waiting to be Shipped” ?

@Spark-O-Matic wow, I would be pretty enraged about that whole situation. How much did CAS charge you to damage and swap parts between your various Jetfires and then glue them into defective cases? I’m sure it wasn’t cheap. These groups may know about the intricacies of 90s Playmates TMNT toys but there’s no way they will have expertise in all the nuances of obscure Jetfire variants. Let alone what accessories and inserts an 80’s Strike Valk should come with. It’s pretty ridiculous for them to even take something like that to grade. Quite the racket.

I enjoyed in the first remake film how they Easter egged that there was a space mission that they had lost contact with - which of course alluded to the Taylor and the astronaut crew in the original 60’s movie. I thought it was really well done foreshadowing. I’m disappointed the astronauts did not return in this current movie. I hope they get to it before the series dies out.

I believe there’s an Arabic language version that has this specific coloring as well. Probably be very hard to find these days. Also it seems the bootleg fever runs high even in Japan given some of those sold prices. And almost all sold higher than the minty real Takatoku Hikaru he sold as well.

Got the KC Dana Sterling in from BBTS and I think it’s pretty great. The cloth over figure plus armor is very similar to the Sentinel ride armors build and basically correctly scaled. Which is nice if you want to do a mashup display. They should go back and restart the Macross characters in their flight suits (rather than their sailor uniforms) in this new style.- 2036 replies

Kitz Concept Toy Thread 2.0
glane21 replied to Stampeed Valkyrie's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
I guess you should send these to Kitz so they understand to not put #1 on all their versions. And also send them back in time to the Nichomo box artist who did the same.- 2036 replies

Is it odd that every GBP has the number 1 on the chest? Shouldn’t they vary to prevent call sign confusion?- 2036 replies

I think these Taiwan variants are genuine Takatoku. The toy itself and its accessories have the proper materials, fit and finish. Not what you usually see out of the bootlegs. Maybe they were cost cutting efforts to save themselves and that’s how the molds ended up in hands of bootleggers. I can’t guarantee it of course but it’s a theory. Anyway it’s a cool unicorn until more show up. @nightmareB4macrossis quite the valk archaeologist. He’ll find more eventually.

There are 5 variants. Don’t forget that there is a Takatoku box that says Made in Taiwan instead of Made in Japan.

Jason Mamoa plays the same character in every movie - himself. As such, he is certainly more suited to Lobo than Aquaman. The biggest loss in this DCU reboot is Affleck as Batman. Too bad be can’t seem to keep from crawling into a bottle and he’s lost all that muscle he put on. Because that warehouse fight in Batman vs Superman is the finest piece of Batman cinema to date.

That Matsushiro sold super cheap, someone got a great deal. There is also another box variant of that release that is slightly different.

Dude, you and I collect a lot of the same lines and I buy a lot of toys for sure but dayum, you must live in a warehouse or something because you make me look like a tourist! I’m in awe, lol!
