  1. Ah nice! Congrats on adding it to your collection!
  2. Nice! What 1/48 did you get? If there's a cure for this, I don't want it, I don't want it
  3. Thanks DWC! The 0A/D thing was a big deal and it will always be remembered for a case where user complaints made a big difference in a future release. I'm grateful for that because the 0S I got as a result is what I consider the best Valk ever made. With these 1J hardpoints, I commend you on eating your own words and admitting defeat...major props for that! It really sucks that some people got bad hardpoints but it really does seem like a very limited and isolated case compared to the 0A/D issues. As you can see in our little sample group, the majority have perfectly functional hardpoints on their M&M reissues. If more improvements can be made for future releases based on feedback, great. I'm just glad I got a good pair of M&Ms and have no complaints.
  4. But is your Chase card 0% foreign transaction fee? I don't think so. The 1.5% plus no fee for capital one probably evens out with the chase giving you 5% but charging a likely 3%+ fee.
  5. Nice! It looks like they didn't lock the backpack by sliding it down in that video. Shouldn't have anything to do with the armor parts.
  6. True...the opinion part. I think the VF-0S is better made and better looking than either of those two but yeah, my opinion.
  7. The Arcadia VF-0S is the best Valk figure ever made by any company. It's worth the money!
  8. has anyone asked if they will be offering their product to 3rd party sellers like Toy Dojo, The Chosen Prime and BBTS since they also carry Fans Hobby products?
  9. Did you guys not see the posts about them making all options available again? Also, lol about only being able to use color matching armor. These are war machines, not fashion models.
  10. Haha, I don't care what anyone says, I love NY! they have given me a collection I never dreamed of for less than anyone else could. So what that I just got my Elintseeker the other day while others have already forgotten theirs? I still have it!
  11. Ah crap, sorry...wrong links. Got confused because I pointed out the Glug to someone else recently too. It's available at NY for under MSRP. https://www.nippon-yasan.com/figures/15289-hi-metal-r-glaug.html

    OK, good point. I guess I was just going back to my whole thing about being a collector and loving the whole process of it, even when missing out on something. NBD in the whole scheme of things...there will be plenty more shiny new toys to get.
  13. Just scroll down...there is a bunch more on Mandarake.
  14. See above...posted on the previous page.

    Yeah...a lot of people jumping to conclusions based on Scooby Doo logic. The only thing we know for sure is NY is still sending orders out. Anything else is just added stress for no reason. As for the show, I thought it was alright but it says something when my favorite character was the Mercat. Macross 7 was my second favorite after the OG.

    Haha, I'm not offended at all. I feel like I'm trying to ease everyone who is stressed out by offering some logic and perspective. Anyways, it doesn't seem to work so I just hope you all get your orders.
  17. Yep, my first HMR was the Regult and then it was over...I had to get them all after I experienced that one!

    Nice job! Exactly! Complaining on this thread or anywhere else isn't going to do anything but what you said above about yourself for whoever you are complaining to. Just chill.
  19. You haven't even touched the stars of the HMR line yet...the enemy mecha and destroids! Wait until you get your hands on some Regults and the Monster! Yeah, I know...you only care about the Valks. For now. That's what we all thought.
  20. Tell me about it. So annoying. Shipping was $8.27 you mean? Or how are you getting it for that low with shipping? If it is $8.27 shipped, I will buy them all, lol!

    Congrats! Just curious, did you contact them at all or did they just send it without any extra motivation?
  22. Lol, so true! No, I think you laid out pretty much what it was. Just that a few loud complaints can seem like a big deal especially when most the people who have no issues are too busy enjoying their toys to bother commenting here. I'm glad none of my Valks have the issue and it seems most people feel the same or heads would be rolling because this is after all, as they say - Macross World!
  23. Lol, pretty much. Yetistands are by far, the best stands made for Valks and other high end toys. When you think about the price, it hurts but then think about how much you've invested in these beautiful Valks and that they deserve something not only equally precise but also extremely secure to hold your valks safely. As for the flightpose, yeah, I used Saran Wrap and it will work fine. Looking back, something more refined like what I originally suggested would be better but as long as the paint is protected, you will be ok. Look forward to seeing updated pics of your collection!
  24. Not a bad choice...I ordered flightpose at first too. Then decided I really wanted the Yetistand instead. Good thing is you will have extra stands that will come in handy. This. You can also just put a film in between the stand nubs and your Valk. Something like the plastic they use to protect parts inside the box.
