    Huh? Business is never a charity. Not really sure where you get that idea. As such, haven't come across any bootleg toy that is actually superior and costs really significantly less than the official. At least, ime. If these supposedly upcoming 1/60v2 bootlegs will cost me $10 and are guaranteed safe and superior and includes expedited trackable shipping, then I'll most likely get one or two. Just for curiosity's sake. Fwiw, and I think I mentioned it once before, these upcoming bootlegs will be much more a competition to the scalpers that have been pricing the old yammies to ludicrous levels. I think Arcadia will still have enough base willing to afford their pricing. At least, during PO times...

    Exploiting? That's a heck of a bizarro reason for bootlegging. Especially these days. Aren't there any government and laws in those countries that are supposed to protect their people from being exploited and stuff? International companies are required to follow their host countries' labor laws and stuff. If people are being exploited, they should get their respective governments to investigate and get them to stop the exploitation. Regardless, it will never be a valid reason for bootlegging. Heck! It'll instead prolly be a more valid reason for the price-hiking coz the host-countries are requiring alot of legal stuff (various laws and fees) to supposedly protect the workers...

    I'm not sure how really easy it is to copy Arcadia's VF-1 and stuff, but it'll be quite interesting how the rumored bootlegs will compare. Even more interesting will be the "premium"-editions of these rumored bootlegs. Guess one can only hope the materials used on these rumored bootlegs aren't toxic and stuff. It'll be kinda funny for these rumored bootlegs to actually have actual governmental approvals regarding product safety and stuff...

    So how're they gonna fund making these $25-$50 items? Are you that sure that the japanese market will buy them in droves and stuff to make and sustain profits and revenues? How much should they pay the laborers and factories for these?

    The Battletech version of the Scopedog... Nahh, they didn't get sued with it. It was not part of the Unseen/Reseen shenanigans. As such, yeah. This 1/20 RSC is a very easy kit. Paneling is nice, but not really needed. Only the standing Chirico and Vanilla figures need some coloring (paint or otherwise). Ok, the ladder, too, if you want.

    Finally had some time to quick-build my 1/20 Votoms Scopedog RSC and here be some pics and stuff: http://imgur.com/7NI03bs http://imgur.com/IlQpl7d http://imgur.com/VBYBbsj http://imgur.com/TgT5Ia0 I was planning on making an Atlas out of it, but it's a bit too small for it to scale with my HMRs and 1/60 Destroids. Not sure if the 1/18 will scale better, but I know the 1/12 are a bit way too large. They're nice, tho...

    N-Y charges 28.6k yen for it during po? Guess HLJ was a bit cheaper at 25.8k yen. Relatively speaking, that is. Surprising, nonetheless. Thought N-Y charges lower, and then jacks it up on the expedited-shipping fees.

    Fwiw, you only get the store-credit when you ship out the item. Dunno how much the shipping-fees, tho.

    Here's the official Tamashii-page: http://tamashii.jp/special/com_battler_v/ official pricing is 59,940y (tokyo-tax included, I reckon) ami and hs will most likely based their "discount" (if any) on that pricing. HLJ and the others will prolly go offer discounts (if any) off the 55.5k-yen pricing. 12/17 release comparo-pic with the old (and ludicrously scalper-priced) Soul of Chogokin GX-50:

    Hi-Metal R

    treatment replied to joppewo's topic in Toys

    Nice pose, but I don't trust those extension-tubes at all even on a light Robot Damashii. I don't have my Sparty, yet, so I don't know how long those tubes will hold your Sparty in that pose before those tubes' usual cracking/disintegration happens.

    It is not hidden. It just is not there at all. The pp-rep I talked to cannot tell me a definitive answer other than it somehow shows up if you linked a debit-card (or a mastercard cc) instead of a non-mastercard cc. The old trick of using their old legacy site also does not work in showing it anymore. Their mobile-site seems to be the only one that still shows the option.

    Fyi. HMR Xabungle Blue Gale is open at hlj again as of this posting: https://hlj.com/product/BANN14350 14,250y July/17 release GO!

    That option is particularly missing from my pp payment-pages.

    I just got it and paid it, too. Not happy with PP's exchange-rate shenanigans right now.
