Slave IV

Considering the recent publicity regarding Japanese companies trying to stop Chinese buyers from buying up their stock even though most their stock is made in China, I wonder if there is some behind the scenes payback going on. It makes business and strategic sense. If someone is going to come to your country to exploit your workforce and then discriminate against your buyers, why wouldn’t you do anything you could to take advantage of the situation on your end? By lowering the perceived quality of Japanese products (made in China), the same factories or related can make KOs that become comparatively better values. Just a thought to discuss or not.

I feel that as one of the biggest Boba Fett fans around, I need to have one but I absolutely refuse to pay that kinda markup for it. If anyone got an extra that they are willing to help me out with, please just let me know. Thanks!

That's some creative usage!

LOL! Yeah, it seems some people got their shipments early for Palpatine and some did not. No idea what the criteria was. F that! LOL!

This thread wasn't about Bandai and when the op learned about Bandai regular releases, he said he wouldn't try the same thing on those. I totally agree that this is supposed to be a fun hobby. I never pay double msrp because to me, it is also a game of what you can find or get yourself. If I miss out, I miss out, NBD. Just like this morning with the SDCC Boba Fett figure. I got the SDCC Hulk but misssed Fett. You win some, you lose some. They are just toys and I got plenty to go around.

Missed Fett this morning. At least I got this guy the other day

Anyone who wants this item can preorder it themselves.

Lol, yeah.

That looks bad ass! I was waiting for someone to post gerwalk pics.

Yes, it comes with the typical Metal Build/Metal Composite type adjustable stand with model number and specs printed on it.

I didn't "need" it either but as any kind of Gundam fan (I'm a very light Gundam fan), I feel that getting it puts a cap on my Gundam collection so I never need another one or a RX-78-2 again after I get the two of them together in Metal Composite form. Of course, they announced the CF green version so after experiencing how great this one is, I'll "need" one of those too.

Nice pickups and displays! Another shot of this guy since I just got back into the office to be able to mess with it again. Locked and loaded!

Sorry, I meant to give you a comparison pic a while ago but just got around to it. They are close but I'd say the Valk is slightly bigger.

Sorry, but having too much fun with this thing

Max TV 1A and DYRL 1S All day!

Man, this is starting to get scary but I’m going to stay optimistic and see how it goes when I get mine.

Then you are like me and have to settle for the Hasbro Vintage or Legacy collection releases every other year. .or wait a minute, I do recall Bandai also made some Chogokin Star Wars vehicles or was it just something they teased? Don’t remember but probably worth looking into. That Mad Max remake was one of the few great remakes. So Pacific Rim, Godzilla, maybe Ready Player One? Yeah, a good friend offered me some decent cash for my Falcon. I had to turn him down. I can never sell something I only have one of, especially that piece. If I had two, yeah he would have got it and I would have made a profit and we’d both still be happy campers because I think it’s worth double what he offered now.

Still not bad. I would have bit at that price myself had I not known about the even lower price. Amazing job again! That Legacy Falcon is one of my prized posessions. Still need to open it someday.

Lol, shows my attention span. I just saw the quoted pics of detailed SW ships so assumed they were the X-Wing Game versions. That is sweet work!

There are Bandai kits if you have the time, patience and skills to make those to the level you desire. Never a fan of Voltron but as a fan of bad ass, quality toys, I had to get this. Not regretting it at all.

Best toy ever huh? OK, I can buy that. Still not my favorite but it's hard to argue against the execution. Definitely the best combining SOC I've expereinced.

Those look like the models from the X-Wing Game: https://www.amazon.com/s?k=star+wars+x-wing+game&i=toys-and-games&ref=nb_sb_noss_1

The hype is real!

Definitely! You paid full price?
