    Nice! Model airplanes has always been a love of mine and he newer, high detailed diecast ones have been calling me.

    For those that aren't familiar with Sentinal figures, they often come with several stand options including a metal post for flight poses. Like this: I'm not too concerned about the figure standing and the stand options it comes with...Sentinel preoducts are pretty damn good...probably one of the best and quickly becoming one of my favorite companies. I did ask @ChaoticYeti if he could make an adapter for the Sentinel Re:Edit Hulkbuster a while ago but didn't follow up. I'm sure it would be easy for him.

    A lot of cool looking items I've never seen or heard of. Some of those bug mecha remind me of Megabug Gladiators: The scorpion is one of my all time favorite toys.

    Thanks! I open the shipping boxes to check out because I get so many all the time, I need to know what's arriving. It's the toy boxes themselves that take me a while to get to. I usually try to at least open just to check those too but sometimes I just can't.

    It still looks real good and I would expect it to be plain compared with customs that have countless hours of extra work behind them. Has it been mentioned how long it took to achieve those looks?
  6. Slave IV
    Haha, yeah. Exactly the same situation! My stacks of unopened boxes are taking so much space, I'm getting a bit worried because I have more things coming all the time but no time to open them.

    Regular version up at HLJ now for¥36,800 a bit less than amiami

    Yeah, they look great but I don't need multiple versions of the same/similar characters and then multiple versions of those from different companies. I'm sticking with Mezco for the ones I really like and feel are important enough to have the premium Mezco version of. Plus, Revo is making incredible versions of a lot of Marvel Comic characters too. My marvel collection is already taking up way more space than I planned for. I hear you on the Mezco articulation in the ankle and some other parts too. I feel they could do a much better job, especially given the price they charge.

    That looks amazing! And it also looks like days and weeks of time and skill I don't have to dedicate to it. Maybe I'll end up buying both versions, opening and enjoying the PE and have the other to customize one day.

    Nice!

    I don't think I could do much better...and finding/making the glowing stickers and applying all that plus the time it takes to do it all...it will be worth it to me to pay the premium. Love seeing the custom work people do though!

    Macross collectors always buy all versions in multiples right?
  13. Slave IV
    Nice! I thought it looked better in Gerwalk and especially Battroid mode in pics but seeing how good the Fighter looks in hand, I'm sure I'll be blown away by the other modes. Maybe I'll just wait for the Lil guys to arrive to enjoy it all at once. haha, yeah life! Work has been killing me and I have two young kids (one of them a baby) so I'm exhausted everyday. I have time to open something and maybe swoosh it around a bit and take a few pics and that's it. I usually transform everything I open right away but I know this one will take some time that I don't currently have. The 262 and MP-36 Megatron are the only figures I have that I didn't transform right away and still haven't.

    Haha, yeah I get it...been on forums long enough now. Thing is, it's people's opinions and input that helped me and I'm sure others learn about many things regarding the hobby, including where to buy things. So, if someone is going to bash a shop about one thing, I think it's worth discussing and sharing thoughts about why they might have an issue and basically go over all sides possible. I appreciate all I've learned from reading various forums and it would suck for someone new to brush off a great option because of a couple negative comments. You know...:
  15. Slave IV
    Not up at HLJ either or AE either. I'm glad I never got the Cosmo Fleet SDF-1 now. I know they are different versions and sizes but money better spent towards this PE one for me. Gonna be another Macross collecting milestone for me when I get it.
  16. Slave IV
    Hey, if people are going to state the cons, we gotta have the pros As for the 262, beautiful but I still haven't transformed mine. Looking forward to the day I can take the time to enjoy it.
  17. Slave IV
    Exactly! Opinions is opinions but no need to keep complaining about the same thing over and over. What's that saying about doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results? I don't care about NY or any of them other than the service they provide me so my loyalty lies solely with who delivers what I want at the lowest price. HLJ is cool and I love their sales but it can be a pain scrolling through pages to find anything. Their payment system has also been steadily getting worse and worse. NY is one of the only shops that lets you pay for any order, anytime you want and use a credit card directly. No need to wait for emails and go through third party payment services. Again, just a discussion and different perspective I think should be shared whenever people start the same old bashing.
  18. Slave IV
    Yeah, it's all just talk and all good. Thing is, NY also recently started having consistently lower prices on almost everything for preorder. I think you need to look at the big picture and maybe consider that one of the reasons they are able to offer such low prices has to do with finding leeway with all expenses, including shipping. Sometimes they might miscalculate something and have to charge a few extra dollars. To me that's not great but acceptable. I'm just grateful there are these businesses that weren't around when I first started collecting going out of their way to allow me to easily buy toys that were not meant for my market. I find annoying quirks with all the major shops we buy from but either I accept their policies or I just don't buy from them.
  19. Slave IV
    I've made most my preorders for hundreds of items in the last couple years at NY. I've been asked to pay extra maybe three times, totaling less than $20. If they suck so bad, I wonder why people who complain keep ordering from them?
  20. Slave IV
    Nice haul! The Mezco figures look great. Now I kinda regret not ordering them.
  21. Slave IV
    This again? We're talking what, about $5 a figure more for shipping when they do ask and that's still adding up to be less than other shops without shipping. It's lame, sure but not really something to complain about given the price you end up paying.
  22. Slave IV
    Nice!
  23. Slave IV
    How did you get the coupon? I've never seen them give coupons.
  24. Slave IV
    Just got a RD Queadluun Rare. It's a fun little toy but wish it was just a tad bigger. Putting it with the HMRs for now.
  25. Slave IV
    Excellent, thanks!
