  1. I use led strips and always try to put more than one in dynamic poses. It helps to have the right stands and especially if Yeti was still around to do the detolf shelf stands. This is just a temporary setup.
  2. If anyone else is willing to sell me Japanese toys for so low, it puts them out of business, I’d be happy to shop with you!
  3. Ribbed?
  4. Thanks! I know about these and was asking about the 3P or KO versions. I have the Black Series Darksaber and some others and don’t think I want to pay that premium for what you get anymore.
  5. Oh nice! I especially like the first one.
  6. Thanks, I'm interested in the yellow blade one from the end of the last movie.
  7. Haha, that's why I never sell anything unless I have an extra or two. Glad the site is back up!
  8. Do you know if they make or plan to make Rey's saber? Can you share the company or where you got it? TIA.
  9. They did...
  10. That’s some cool stuff! Whet the heck are they going to release the Angel bird and cf I ordered a few years ago?😆
  11. There are all kinda of real guns designed like that. People are just more articulated than most toys. Also, a Mech shouldn’t have any need to hold a gun in any conventional manner as long as it has a means to point and shoot.

    I read somewhere recently that KC has their own factories now. If any truth to that, it might give them more flexibility to do whatever kinds of runs they want.

    Agree with all this but also worth noting the US Dollar is currently around the strongest it has been in at least the last five years vs. the Japanese Yen.

    Arcadia FWMFW!
  15. That’s some issue you got…next time, it might be better and easier to tighten the loose one with some Future/Kiki. 😜
  16. Until you do what we suggested and buy both, we have failed our jobs.
  17. What’s this I hear about hiding packages from the front door? What a bunch of pansies!😝
  18. Personally, I don’t even care about Hikaru’s 1J and the Roy 1S is my favorite stand-alone Valk but the GBP is always an iconic piece itself. The only true answer is to get both now before it’s too late and you have to pay more. If I had nothing and just wanted one Valk to represent Macross, I’d get the Roy 1S. If I had a few Valks except those two, I might opt for the 1J/GBP set. Good thing is, I have them all and I wouldn’t have it any other way. Good luck deciding!
  19. Wait, you have to plug these in too? They couldn’t even make a battery compartment?
  20. Yeah, my packages were always good from them and I saved thousands of dollars over the years because of their low prices. Too bad they had to go down the drain. Hopefully we’ll get more domestic shops carrying Macross in the near future.
  21. NY ain't got nothing on those Meghan/Patricia CS videos! But I gotta say, my last shipment from NY was packed nicely with that blue bubble wrap sealed tightly all around with custom made box to fit perfectly!
  22. Seems like he’s well aware of the joint.
  23. Nice! That's such a great movie!
  24. I’d have to see this data you speak of and I don’t doubt it’s true in cases. Reliability depends on a lot of things and a big part of it could come down to how the owner takes care of their car. Time will also tell because there hasn’t been enough time to really say how long a new car will last since that much time hasn’t even passed yet. I have good friends that are mechanics that show me exactly where newer cars are skimping on quality and I can see and feel it in many cases. @last_raven mentioned he works in the industry and seems to be saying the same. I can see that technology has improved many aspects of cars and can give a perceived amount of quality in certain aspects. I think the difference might be more apparent in higher end cars from before compared to today as technology is replacing material quality and workmanship and many cars are becoming more similar since they are mostly being made all over the world by shared factories. Cars that used robust mechanical solutions made of metal have new solutions made with electronics and plastic. Cars are glued together instead of welded. I had cheap cars back in the day that were “reliable” but they also felt like cheap tin cans that literally fell apart over short periods of time. Yeah, from my experience, American cars have gained the most perceived value and quality compared from around the 80s-90s to today. Meanwhile, a Mercedes Benz of today seems barely better or even in some cases worse than a Toyota. But I have a Benz from the 80s that I still drive almost everyday and it still works mechanically as well as it did in the 80s. It required nearly zero maintenance other than regular oil changes and has never left me stranded once in over 30 years.
