    A possible 2 hour wait for HLJ to go live....I may be like ‘ol Kakizaki on that hunt then...
  2. Dobber
    Crap...not sure how long I want to wait at HLJ. Chris
  3. Dobber
    HLJ just 404ing for me too
  4. Dobber
    Always have a hard time finding new items at HLJ. Their search algorithm isn’t the best Chris

    Uh oh, HLJ’s site is acting weird...can’t even load their homepage. Chris

    Omg....I just went to NY and bought one of these things. Yikes! It is so pretty. So shipping is either the cheap but slow Ferry or super expensive but fast UPS right? Everything else EMS and any JP post that is airmail is suspended right? Even the registered SAL that still showed Air? I went with Ferry as I this is already expensive enough and didn’t want to spend another $100 for shipping, bit it’s gonna suck waiting 2-3 months. The shipping issue info was kind of confusing, and I was just going off of what you all where saying. Chris

    Thanks ordered one. Looking forward to making a slightly more accurate Cruiser mode model now!

    Can anyone recommend a good Ford Gt model? I really like the 2004-2006 body style as it is a really good homage to the Classic Ford GT40. Chris

    Thank You Chewie. I agree. Not saying he is or isn’t a great thing for new movies or stories here....just as I said a few months ago I haven’t forgot how many if not most felt back in 2012 when we heard he was selling. People were ecstatic! While we praised him for his creation we also hated what HE was or wasn’t doing with it, or how he seemed to have contempt for it. Fast forward to now, after Disney screwed it up even worse, people are saying poor George why can’t we have HIS vision. I’m mean really?? People jump on and off of bandwagons so freaking quickly. As I said not saying he is or isn’t a good thing just I haven’t forgotten how things were and how we all cheered at his stepping down. Chris

    Lol! Tell them that some 105’s will escort them out too! Ha ha. Chris

    IIRC, the issue wasn’t that he isn’t strong enough, but that he had no ground or anything to push off of with just the emptiness of air all around. Chris

    Finally decided to give transformation a go. Really, it’s not so bad at all. For me the biggest PITA is the hip swing bar....very reminiscent of the VF-25’s hip joint swing bar...which I never liked. Getting it to lock into place in the correct position is very tricky. Also when going back to fighter it rotates the previously mentioned hip joint peg into the wrong position to correctly stow it into fighter mode so you have to kind of use the leg in the soldier mode position to act as a “wrench” to rotate the peg until it is ALMOST in the correct position and the finish transforming the leg back into fighter mode which will then rotate the peg the rest of the way to the correct orrientation. All this due to that damn double rotation hip bar/joint like the VF-25 uses. Overall still really like the toy. Chris

    Yeah it’s not showing on any of the usual stores though. Not even for preorder. I know I was shocked too! It was posted back in April but I didn’t see it until someone reposted up above. Didn’t want to miss it. I want those new bow guns!
  18. Dobber
    W O W!! Just WOW! Chris

    My Legioss just arrived from Amazon.jp. Thankfully the hip joints are correct. Man you guys were not kidding about the pilot falling apart at the slightest glance! At first it seemed solid but as soon as I tried to move it into position to put in the cockpit it just started the “snowball” effect. One part falls off then as you try and put one limb or lower half back on something else falls off. Sheesh. The fighter itself seems pretty good. Going to wait for a good transformation video to follow before trying to transform. Chris

    Dang, I forgot all about that and I just had something delivered from Amazon japan too. Chris

    Any news on the TV SDF-1 Storm Attacker re release? Chris
  22. Dobber
    Yup, a simple fix. I received my Battlestar Valkyrie the other day and one of the engines was off. The glue just let go...a dab of gorilla glue and good as new. Chris
  23. Dobber
    Apologies if it was pointed out already...anyone else notice the “Skull Leader” above the Modex number? Chris
  24. Dobber
    Just so you know, the USAAF means United States Army Air Forces. It was disbanded in 1947. That may be why you haven’t seen their aircraft in a while. The Air Force is just USAF. Chris

    I was just going to say that it looked metal to me in the close-up pictures posted above, but I don’t have one in hand yet. Glad my old eye’s aren’t that off yet. Chris
