  1. First I used a compressed air can to remove all the dust and then used a moist towel to wipe off the rest. I then removed all the stickers the previous owner had applied and used a combination of thumb-rubbing and tacking with invisible tape to remove the adhesives. After that, I tested a 70% solution of rubbing alcohol on a tiny bit and it didn't seem to affect the weathering so I lightly wiped the entire valk to make it germ-free. Still can't believe people would give these up for cheap, as long as you keep the old 1/48 in fighter or gerwalk it looks very good.
  2. I guess people really are desparate to get cash for those DX'es, or the seller had no idea what this was worth. I bought this loose Low Viz /w gun for <$100 ...... a lil wipe here n there and some missiles from my stash and now I got two Low Viz 1A's again
  3. It appears there will be a popup event for Patlabor EZY between 4/30 - 5/6.I hope we start getting more news about EZY. Been a hard wait since we had that 8-minute teaser a few years back. Details of Event (Basically at Seibu Department store in Shibuya, Tokyo, Free Admission) ポップアップイベント『機動警察パトレイバー EZY × 2クリエイターズ』 場所:西武渋谷店B館5F(東京都渋谷区宇田川町21-1) 日時:2019年4月30日(火)~5月6日(月)10:00~20:00 展示内容:アート展示・販売、限定グッズ販売、立体モデル展示 入場料:無料 主催:キャラアート株式会社 協力:株式会社そごう・西武、株式会社メディコム・トイ、ANIMAREAL.inc、株式会社ジェンコ、株式会社ワキプリントピア、株式会社コムズ、株式会社エテルノレシ Some cool artwork and art gallery will be shown, including this poster by ANIMAREAL.

What would she do if I got myself this ingram ring as mine? lol SOURCE: http://spice.eplus.jp/articles/234179
  4. Yeah talking about the legioss. I already have Yellow Preordered.

    Osaka Toy Stores

    Definitely hit the two Mandarakes and the Jungle store in Osaka if you can. Jungle is way more fun to visit in-person than Mandarake since you can get some crazy deals. Last time I was in Japan I nabbed a totally loose but complete DX Alto YF-29 with Supers for just 15000 yen. Also got a loose RVF-25 renewal with all accessories for 6000 yen
  6. I don't think this PO will move too fast and it should get a decent discount at the usual shops. Should probably be able to nab it for around $250 shipped at current exchange rates.
  7. If he took advantage of the 8% Ebay Bux days around 3600 ish USD. This is why I stopped using Amazon for stuff I didn't need right away. TP getting low, order a week early on Ebay, get 8% back lol. It Really adds up, and there's really no other rewards program that's give 8% before, even those tied to most credit cards :0
  8. Evil. Now you'll be forever looking for unit 2
  9. Yammie 1/48 Micro Missile packs still hold up after nearly 20 years
  10. I am feeling high levels of salt right now.... I found I had a tupperware full of 1/48 yammie missiles in storage and with just a few swipes of a file I was able to get them to fit just fine on the 1/48 DX..... Looks like I'll be selling those two overpriced DX missile sets I preordered since I have enough yammy missiles to equip a fleet of VF-1's
  11. I'm suddenly feeling like it's it'll be 100x easier to build a 1/48 Hase and apply all those decals than it woujld be to secure a 1/48 VF-1S DX preorder. Already got so much practice building the 1/72's. Seeing these pics is pushing me closer to doing that
  12. considering NY's first preorder was 160 usd the new markup is unacceptable. Don't fall for the markup crap they did all thru the frontier days. closer to release there will be waves and waves of preorders as scalpers reneg on their preorders and/or HLJ and amiami clean out all the fake account orders that goto the same address and such. You will be able to get a valk then. don't feed the scalpers and give them more motivation to do the BS they are doing. Just keep watching this board and when the PO randomly opens up somebody will report it here.
  13. would be hilarious if that scalper dude makes the sale and then hlj cancels his PO in a week. paypal us changing it so PP fees aren't refunded anymore
  14. now just waiting to see if my HLJ order was a fluke or not
  15. Lol I actually asked for 20's so that I could cut them in half and stock up on meds. I actually only take 10mg, but maybe should take way more on preorder nights :0
  16. Welp, Time to down the whole bottle of my Blood pressure meds
  17. SO not only does NY have the ticket queue, prevent auto refresh and searching, You STILL have to deal with wheel of death and risk of getting c*ck-blocked at any turn by the ticket queue again
  18. It kicked me back to queue after pressing pay later, but my e-mail is in
  19. holy moly made it thru NY wheel of death. Now I have a backup to sketchy HLJ order
  20. NY: Let's put literally every figure arts and other Bandai action figure up befor ethe 1A to torture everyone then even when it comes up they still need to fight deathwheel
  21. Even if they had a link unless ur on the site it's useless
  22. oh god it's getting boring manually searching the NY website. no refresh, no back button, no search
  23. Pay up front will definitely discourage scalpers though. It's 10x easier to get a no-cost PO and then get hte inflated funds to pay for it than it is to put up all the cash up front and then hope somebody buys ur inflated product. One is no-risk ez cash, the other is actual skin in the game.
  24. God dammit NY is still slowly adding figurearts and animu girly figs.
  25. At this point I wouldn't care if all macross DX was 100% TWE pay up fronts.
