    Only reason why I got and paid extra for Hikaru's VF-1S was based on fear that I wouldn't get the original VF-1S. At least I would have the 2nd best known VF-1S.

    Can I just briefly talk about how much better the Japanese postal service appears to be compared to the US model? This week I won my first Yahoo JP auction using Buyee. It was a for VF (of course) Buyee got my package in 2 days and cost of shipping from seller to them was just over $10. Over here a similar VF shipped from state to state has costed me double to triple and would take over a week to arrive. Buyee offered me EMS but considering the delays and I since won the auction for good price I upgraded to DHL for a cost $37. The same price I would have been charged to ship from another state. Here we have the USPS, UPS, FedEx and however else all in competing against each other and none of them ship at good price and quickly.

    I'll tell you this. If NY ends up being the only store not sold out on preorder night I won't be getting one at all.

    With Frontier they saw that cute mascot characters that wore costumes and did little dances was popular so they decided that a plot or even choreographed action scenes wasn't needed at all and quadrupled down on the cute dancing mascots.

    If you want to take another long break from Macross just watch Delta.

    Cool I wonder if I'll get my Fast Packs from NY by the time this new one gets released.

    Handle that Duke with care! Those 1983 Joes with light green plastic are so brittle.

    All the reasons that I'm saying no.

    I need to see more pics of how you use the armor with the figure before jumping in.

    I can't wait to play with myself.

    New moderators are made based on need. The Admins and Mods make suggestions. If nobody objects that member is asked if they would like to be one. Responsibilities is basically visiting the message boards and keeping an eye on things. Steer things back on course if they go too far off topic. Try to defuse situations. The place is very mellow compared to the old days. As far as online fandom goes it is pretty calm.

    I used Nagoya and shipping was about 4000 yen. The Valk was price was below my budget so I was okay with shipping.

    DHL is fast! I placed an order with Mandarake. Was worried about shipping cost but figured I got a enough good price on my order that expensive shipping wouldn't hurt too much. DHL picked it up and delivered it here in the USA in less than 24 hours.

    Besides Macross... There's that photography thing I've been doing. Which I can't really do right now while socially distancing. Waiting for things to improve or come up with some good work arounds. There's those other Toy lines that I collect. Waiting for Hasbro Pulse to send out my preorders. There's all those old RPG books I collect. There's messing around with my PS4. RD2 Online anyone? Does watching YouTube count?

    $70 shipping charge? Screw that. You paid in advance. You did your part. They need to cover the difference themselves. Still haven't heard a word about mine from them yet.

    Nothing but they are currently closed for the holiday.

    There's 2 ways to do a sequel to this movie. 1. Show how the world has change with Sly living in it for past 30 years. Could be very interesting but the Sly being the fish out of water is what made the first movie fun. 2. After 30 years of living Sly is refrozen again for some reason and defrosted in even crazier future. Then the movie just becomes a Boomer complaining about the good days.

    I've got Strike/Super Packs on preorder. Not sure when I'll ever get them. I really like to order some things from Japan but nothing seems the reliable right now. Going to just have to wait for things to stabilize.

    I read that too last night. The cheapest option is gone and we're left with the most expensive ones that may add an extra surcharge. Unless my order is worth a few hundred dollars I doubt I'll be paying to ship anything.

    Guess my DX Hikaru VF-1S will be naked without his Fastpacks for even longer now. For the last 2 days I've been browsing websites thinking about stuff to order from Japan.

    Maybe instead of 10 hour long episodes they should have made this a 3 hour Picard TV movie.

    Episode 9 reminded me of those 1st season episodes from the Next Generation. Where they go to some lame backwards planet where all the people wear a goofy uniform like baggy silk underwear and a vest made out of banana leaves. From the production design this episode is spot on but it doesn't match the rest of the series. Was it one of the lost scripts recycled? Same goes for the Riker family episode. The show's not great and these episodes kills whatever forward movement it had. Nobody knows what they are doing.

    The 2 characters who fought each other last night should have bled to death. Both of them collapsed, unable to move for 12+ hours and bled the entire time. They were rescued but their saviors didn't seem to even have a first aid kit to treat them with. Watching an unconscious person isn't going help them if they've got no blood nor will it stop those cut wounds from getting infected.
