Exactly! Now forget about that last sentence and the rest of it is exactly the mentality you need to be a good collector.
-
What will you do? Simple. BUY THEM!

Your most recent Macross or toy purchase! General thread.

Another key classic Super Robot just acquired! This thing is pretty much everything I hoped for. A few more Super Robots and I think I'm good. Will be able to put more money towards Valks, lol! -
Wow! Impressive...Most Impressive!
-
I'm not playing with these toys with the show on, making sure they match exactly every moment and it's not a fashion show to me. As long as they look good, which it does, I'm all good. Looking forward to getting all the Destroids and everything to come from HMR.

Not really, especially when it's something like a license giving you in essence, a legal monopoly. Legal technicalities are always secondary or much lower when it comes to morals IMO. I've worked in the creative industry most my life and never concerned with "IP" because imitation is the highest form of flattery and keeps you on your toes. If you aren't good enough to stay ahead of your copiers, you are either lazy, not good enough or overly greedy, IMO.

I'm not just talking about 3P, there are many KO TFs that are better copies or even improve on original designs. Either way, I'm not concerned about companies not able to survive because of KOs. That's the challenge of doing business. If one company can't hack it, others will take its place and if not, that just means there is no market for the items but we all know that's not the case.
-
I never considered kos or even paid any attention to them until just about a year ago seeing how in many cases, they have been doing a better job than official in the world of Transformers. As for the moral issue, implying anyone else's might be questionable is basically accusing and without going into how hypocritical that is, I'll just say that's not what we're here for.

If you ordered them together on the same ticket, they don't ship until everything in the order is in stock. Certain shipping methods ship separately once everything is in stock because there is a weight limit for that method. Might also explain the lower savings on combined orders in those cases.
-
That almost makes me want to buy KOs more, lol. End of day, I don't care who makes it or anything. Whoever puts the most care into producing the best product and lowest price...basically, provides the best value gets my business. I already have the official Milia ordered but if a KO gives me the premium tampo, same or better quality, that baby pod included and a lower price, I'm in!

They will "work" with anything you want them to work with. As for tabbing onto other items, probably not but only the cluster missiles are designed to do that anyway. Just use tack or stands to set them up with whatever you want. The pictures of the missiles with my GBP are just using stands.

Haha, open that stuff, it's so fun! As for back log, tell me about it. I have a backlog of unopened toys dating back to the mid 90's. -
Looks excellent! I'm starting to want more GBP armor parts after getting my first one. Can't get over how good a job Bandai did on that set.
-
Yeah, I don't think my HMRs do that. It's what I described with the hinge. In my case, I clicked/locked the hinge before folding the backpack up which makes it fit nicely and stays in place but not locked.

Thanks! Open your missiles or the GBP? -
Always great pics! Seen so much of the supers on the F, they look amazing on the J they were intended for too!
-
Lol!
-
Oh yeah, I also discovered what I think is the backpack click lock mentioned. It doesn't click or lock when you fold it up but the double joint has a distinct click and lock which helps it stay in place. Is that what you guys are talking about it am I still missing something?
-
Thanks! The missile effects were literally something I was begging for and mentioned I wanted shortly before they were announced. Definitely a dream come true since I was a kid and the imagination is the limit on what you can do with them. Price is high but everything is overpriced these days. My enjoyment and satisfaction from one night of playing is already worth it.

I know I'm late in the game but finally got my hands on one of these and holy $h!t is this thing good! And to think I almost didn't get one and thought I would be ok with it. I know all the rage right now is new, like the Spartan and the 31J Super Parts so here's some other new stuff that seems seriously underrated: These missile effects are so versatile and let you achieve the look we all have in our heads when we think about Macross. It's like a dream come true. -
Spartan looks amazing. Look forward to getting mine! I know I'm late in the game but holy crap is this thing good! And to think I almost didn't get one and thought I would be ok with it.

The Regult stand is just a standard Tamashii stage...

Yep, same here. Only thing is I knew there was a way to not use paypal conversion and it took me years to get it to work. Lost several valks worth of fees...
