Available now: http://hlj.com/product/BANN11257

Thanks! I meant a clearance sale, not the basic preorder discount.

I need Figuarts Zero Mirage to go on sale now...or better yet, release an SHF version!

I just get them on ebay, it's pretty cheap around $7 for 2 and $11 for 4,  combine shipping discount from some of the seller or buy the lot.

save on gas, trip, tax ,etc and get to use my earned, Ebay Bucks money.

I brought it from this seller, http://www.ebay.com/itm/252688868787?_trksid=p2060353.m2749.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT

$1.50 each, Shipping is $3.25 for the first item and $0.60 for each additional item.  

1 car = $4.75 each

2 car = $3.42 each

 

Thanks! That seller sems sold out but I'll keep an eye out.

I've seen them at Target on several different visits.

Thanks! My Target toy section have been ghost towns. Haven't checked in a couple weeks though.

Yeah, I'm all in on SHF Macross...Don't really want to be but feel I have to be. I can say that I haven't bought so many female figures ever in my life of collecting as I have in the last couple years.

Where are people getting that Hot Wheels Halo car? Online? I haven't seen it in stores yet.

That's a real pity. I was actually in Tokyo at the time of Max's release so I could just drop into a store and pick it up on the day of release. Looks like them being a web exclusive, even if I was still there I wouldn't even be able to easily pick it up in stores.

2nd hand stores at a massive mark up is something else altogether, which also makes them may or may not worth it.

Max was not an exclusive, just Milia and her Valk hasn't been released yet.

Speaking of exclusives, did anyone who ordered the Roy 1S exclusive from the recent HLJ sale get the stand included? I know it was originally in a separate box but could they have smartened up and included it in the main box like they did for Max?

She was an exclusive like the missile set. All of these are basically limited runs based on how fast they sell out. Exclusive just means you pay a bit more but never have to worry about preorder madness.

Makina! Makina!

Yes, nice colection! I like the shelf that the detolfs are on. Are they secured in any way or just placed on top? I really want to raise my detold with something like that under it.

This isn't a recent purchase, I bought it in Hong Kong a year ago, but since cars are "so hot right now".......

 

This is Jenson Button's McLaren from the 2012 Belgian GP, which was the 1st F1 race I managed to attend.

Given the fact that I'm a Button fan, we wanted him to win the race, he did win the race and it was a magic weekend, when I saw this I had to have it! No brainer.

Here's the real car (and JB) during qualifying from that weekend. (forgive iphone quality pic)

If only McLaren could've given him a better car in the seasons that followed....sigh. Roll on the Aussie GP though, the new cars will hopefully look great!

Nice!

Closest thing I could get for my car in 1:18 is the Ottomobile B5 RS4 but that has long sold out everywhere I've seen and I couldn't bring myself to pay the asking price when it was still available.

OK, again, just saying. My packs and valks are all bare too. They look good enough without any stickers but yeah, would be great if they were just tampoed to begin with. Waterslides instead of stickers or in addition to stickers would be a welcomed thing too.

Finally got this guy after eying it and hearing/seeing/reading so much about it:

It's pretty finicky in Fighter mode, ugly in Gerwalk mode but Robot mode is beautiful and super solid (other than the leg Fast Packs). Really nice figure that will be spending most of its time in Bot mode and probably donating the arsenal that came with it to some other, less armed Valks.

Finally got this:

I don't think it's out of the question that the pictured is an actual sample. It's not like they need to do anything but setup the tampo process to have this ready for release since it's the same thing they've been putting out for years. Not complaining, just saying. Anyways, I'm close to preordering the regular version.

IDGI...what was offensive?

Thanks!  I'll probably work on more of it later today.

Look forward to seeing! Are the missiles made of glue too?

A little more than normal release price but less than $200.  That's way too much.

Here are some missile effects I was just working on.

Cool!

My detolf adapter is pretty loose but it doesn't matter, holds fine when a figure is mounted and makes it easy to adjust.

Would be great to have them in different sizes to fit other shelves!

Just bought another Armored Valkyrie to customize the armor into Max armor and the VF-1J into a Target Battroid.  Woo hoo!

Curious what you paid for it...Would like one but not for the $200+ I see it going for.

Contemplated but did so for too long...it's gone again.
