    This! Is there any evidence or confirmation of any kind that mold degradation is an issue with this? It sucks that I could have not paid yet but other than that, I'm not worried about anything at all. My valks will come to me when they are ready.

    Nice...Mind me asking how much you got it for? I haven't messed with Xabungle yet but just taking it out the box and standing it there for a quick photo, it was impressive. The HMR line is amazing...the quality, thought and detail put into all the releases is excellent and I almost feel like the two non-Macross releases so far are the best in the line.

    I have the Juggy release, just preordered the Vintage version and will get the Yellow/Blue one when it comes...Just wondering/hoping there was a better version from a quality company. NBD, money saved!

    No need to guess. I selected SAL and it's 2540. Kinda high but I'm still getting the item with shipping for a few dollars more than most other shops are charging just for the item. For anyone buying from NY, they have a shipping calculator right under the cart on the right side of the page. You can add things to cart and use the calculator for your area and get exactly what they will charge you. Someone will say something about them sometimes underestimating the shipping charge and make you pay more when the item is released but I doubt that will happen this time. It only happened to me a couple times and each time, the increase was only a few dollars and the total price was still less than anywhere else.

    I'm in your same area and I always go with Nippon-Yasan when I can. I'm not too concerned with customer service but agree you will be better off in that department sticking with a domestic seller like BBTS. For me, it's all about the lowest price and Nippon-Yasan almost always has the lowest preorder prices. That is the case with this item being just under 18000 yen at NY. After shipping it is a little over $20 less than BBTS for me.

    Gotcha...I kinda regret passing on that when I had the chance but I have the Revo version on the way. Neither one look Jim Lee to me though.

    Nice haul! What's this Mezco Jim Lee Wolverine you speak of? Not the first Wolverine figure they are putting out is it? Other than the colors, it doesn't look very Jim Lee ish. Just wondering if you are talking about some other one I haven't seen yet.

    What do I need to do to prepare to get this lottery? I need to get one of these.

    Aw crap! When I saw the link, I saw it said sold out and underneath it said available 12 something so I thought they weren't opening orders until then. Crap, so I basically missed out on that option already.

    So this 31J Kai stuff is still just about how to get one from the event? I'm still hoping I can just order one after the event the same way we can get other Bandai exclusives. As for the 31A, that bit about watching the show love to get one was sarcasm right? If not, I might be over paying attention to this stuff and just hope I can order when the time comes.

    Oooo, nice!

    My friend got robbed and it made him quit collecting completely. Sucks since his collection was incredible.

    It's worth whatever you think it is to you. Considering it's the best mold with the best finish ever for this character and the old versions have gone for well over $300, I think it's worth it. But, since I don't have any other PF valks and don't really care about having the extra tampos, I went for the regular version for under $200.

    Slave IV replied to UN Spacy's topic in Toys

    Thanks! So we don't know exactly how it will work after the event basically? It sounded like some people went through the process before but I guess that was the at event experience. Damn, I just want one and hope I can order as usual from NY or AE.

    Nice! That poor trooper never had a chance.

    Very nice! I totally agree about the cloth on figures and love seeing it. However, I think it works best on superheroes with the spandex look because the figures basically match exactly what they are supposed to look like. Most the loose clothing figures look too puffy at the small scales. This Ride Armor figure looks to be very well done. I will buy any version that comes out.

    Is this just the process to get one at the event? What about the post event orders? Can someone who has participated in this type of order explain? How does someone in the US get one? TIA
  22. Slave IV
    All good. Yeah, I pay little attention to that fine print (first time I read it just now) because to me it's irrelevant.
  23. Slave IV
    Nice! Can't see what all is in that Aliens USCM set bit I'm sure it must be good.
  24. Slave IV
    Agree with all this other than I don't need to see the whole line. Sure I want this to be a great figure and hope it is successful. I just don't care if certain things never come out because that just means less stuff I have to buy. Like I'm perfectly happy with just Boba Fett, IG-88 and Bossk and I never sit there and think I have to have Dengar, 4-LOM and Zuckuss. But if someone makes Dengar, 4-LOM and Zuckuss, you better believe I'm buying them.

    Because I'm not paying for nothing. If it ever comes down to it and a shop tries to stiff me, I will work with them within reason to fix the issue. So far, every shop I've dealt with seems reasonable and probably would not want to lose my business over something that their own insurance will cover anyways. If worse comes to worse, credit cards all have insurance or consumer protection services built in. Plus, insurance is for the party that handles the postage...sure, we pay for shipping but the store is the one dealing directly with the post company. That part is all on them and has nothing to do with me so I don't care how much a package is insured for, if at all.
