treatment

yup. title-change is needed. just coz Milia's variant is an S... you might want to repeat that for those that didn't read it the second time...

Nope. My first order was already shipped before I did the second order.

Nicely done! but you should really get the 1/60 Max-1A TV, too... Also, major props to Frogze for the hilarity!

I'm tellin' y'all. The studliest 1A ever. Even in the simplest of poses...

well, so much for trying to stagger my purchases. both my orders' payments got posted last friday from my card, even tho my first order was pre-Golden Week and my last order was days after Golden Week. Should've just ordered both at the same time to save at least $5 or so on the shipping cost.

yeah. that was weird when it got locked. was it really taking that much attention and posters away from the VF-19 Fire Valk thread?

sale's almost over, guys. am personally still debating myself whether to get a yf-21 or a kaki-tv...

no. it's gonna be similar to/improved-upon this old mold: http://www.macrossworld.com/macross/toys/_bandai_vf17d.htm

nice news! i want the Milia-variant asap!

i guess you were just looking at the not-correct places. it's even on-sale right now: http://www.hlj.com/product/CMS65031 you might try risking ebay if you just want the specific Max qrau-figure.

The Max Q-Rau figure is in the top pic. Maybe you missed it. Due to Golden Week, my SVF1A-Max ain't here, yet. It's slated for the Skull-Team top-shelf, tho. Waiting for a re-release of the regular Max-1S since the Weathered MAX-1S is way too overpriced. Never like the Virgin Road Max...

getting a bit claustrophobic, but still missing the 1J's-v2... edit: another shot added

ROFLMAO!!! that was totally funny, dude. guess the Bandai Quarter needs viagra... :lol:

just saw this:

btw, guys. I've said the vf-22 has the best bang-for-the-buck, but be aware that some Milia versions (2nd-batch and up, prolly) have some various QC issues. Mine from the last sale came with a bit of a left-leg peg-friction issue. Not quite as severe as the ones reported by others in the VF-22 thread. The black goo/material that's supposed to add friction/resistance with the peg was not quite applied properly, e.g. amount of it was really less. Mine still stands good in battroid-mode, but it does slides out, especially on glossy table/shelf-tops. I had to add a small thin foam (from a motherboard-foam or whatever) to alleviate it. In contrast, my Max-22 was quite tighter and had no issues at all. So better check the VF-22 thread for known issues with the 22.

In my experiences with hlj, my orders get automatically bumped to EMS when my order-totals hits US$200 or more. Even if it's just one single item. edit: yeah. what Nightingale and Raptormesh said, too. also gotta remember that the hlj-box themselves sometimes add to the total weight, no matter how efficient hlj boxes the item(s).

I don't have the yf-21, but I'm thinking it prolly has to do with the yf-21 having the old flap/windowed packaging and the VF-22 has the newer window-less packaging. 300gms for that rather useless flapper? geezus...

Yup. At least with this new sale, the 22s has the best bang-for-the-buck value. I still can't figure out why the yf-21 still has a more ridiculously expensive SAL-shipping option compared to the vf-22.

Shockwave at mark.

you mean the Super-O, right?

mahoro's photobombing the m&m's...

fyi. hlj posted a july-restock preorder for it now: http://www.hlj.com/product/ymt00211?utm_medium=itemblock&utm_campaign=TOP_page&utm_content=ibymt00211.png

Yup. Pretty much got all that. My p&s is just getting really wonky now (especially with its digital-zoom) due to age, I reckon.

i saw and scored these three at Fry's today. $12.99 each. bummer they didn't have anymore stocks of Wreck-Gar for me to do a Wreck-Gar on Wreck-Gar thingy. At least, for today. Nothing changed at Target/Wally's/TRU stocks. They all still got only BBee, Ravage, Skullgrin, and Skids. edit: added bot-mode pics.

update: Was checking my bank recently and two hlj-payments were just posted, but one of amounts was not quite what I was expecting. After checking my hlj-account for recent orders, it seems like hlj did managed to get me at least two of my five yammie-block orders back in 4/1. as shown from my attachment. weird. wish I got all five, but two stands should be ok for now. anybody else also ordered their yammie-blocks from when I posted on 4/1, got the hlj cancel-email, and still got some shipped?
