Slave IV

A perfect example of not trusting any image you see on the internet to judge colors of anything.😉 Unless you know how the image was processed and have a properly calibrated monitor for that image, it won't do anything but frustrate people who are particular about color matching.

Haha, the things we do! Unfortunately for me, my stacks all go from floor to ceiling and I am out of space. Gotta figure out how to use some quantum reality bending to create more room.

That's a good tip. I have a bunch of foam board that I use for stuff like that. It's a perk of alway having signs printed for work events. They are great for me to reuse as backgrounds to take photos and box buffer/protectors in storage.

Yeah, I'm not buying anymore bins for more than double the price I used to pay and they aren't always the most efficient without some really creative and lucky fitting boxes. I've been considering switching to mostly unboxing/unbinning and stacking the bare boxes like nB4m but doing a test run in one of my closets, it only saved me maybe one or two small boxes worth of space so I'm not sure the effort will be worth it for me. I need to save space and like having everything clearly visible to access but I also lose protection and the amount of time it would take me is probably worth a fortune as well. Right now, I'm stuck with my storage mostly looking like this:

I don’t flatten since there are plastic trays and I like to keep everything. Here’s a pic of one of my bins I had easy access to.

The first ones. I used to buy them after Christmas on sale for $5ea and have dozens of them but I don't think they've been that cheap for a while.

I use the 66qt clear bins from Target. They fit pretty much perfectly standing up in those bins.

I don’t care if it is overdone like Bandai or very plain like normal Arcadia releases. Neither way is worth any extra effort and enjoyable as they are imo. If I have some appropriate water slide decals, I might put those on some of the plain Arcadia releases but that’s the most I’ll do.

Isn't there usually more than just some extra parts and color changes for a release to be considered "Revival"? Is there any change to the armor parts?

Is it ironic that the argument for needing perfect accuracy is coming from someone named "Chunky" using a CM as their image?🤭

I’m pretty sure at least the VF-0 is a completely different mold and it’s definitely significantly better. The Arcadia VF-0 is arguably the best Valk toy ever made.

PayPal still works but there are some quirks to get it right. Basically, if you don’t see the option for Yen with the card you are using, there is a setting issue or they just don’t allow purchases using international currency with that card.

Thanks!

Oh cool! I'll have to get some of those then. It looks just like the Matchbox release that had fixed wings but I guess HW stepped it up a bit.

Do you know if the swing wings work on that F-14?

Wow, congrats! I almost find it more unbelievable that you got these for $35 uncontested. I definitely find it unbelievable that the wings seem to line up in Battroid mode better than any of my production DX VF-1s.😂

Oh cool! I didn’t notice it there with a quick search but that’s not surprising.

Is the PF readily available somewhere? I’m not planning on getting one but just curious because I didn’t think it was.

Or pretend it’s a BMW😉

I preordered the Angel Bird and CF years ago on aliexpress. Still nothing.

It’s one of the official Arcadia 1Ss. Specifically, the non-PF DYRL Hikaru version.

KO clear parts on official 1S.

Nice!

I love the Yamato 1/48s. The decos they had and simple, but perfect transformation make them irreplaceable to this day.

Am I the only one thinking to get more of these Hikaru 1S just to get extra red tipped reaction missiles?
