    The problem with figures that fit into the Glaug or Regults is they would be way too small to scale.
  2. Just from his pics, Re:Edit is slightly larger than the standard 1:18 figures. It still works for me though.
  3. The comicave Iron Man figures look great. I just saw Sentinel has the new comic style transforming armor coming...so tempting! When they decide to do some classic comic armors, I'm in and then peacefully done with Iron Man.

    I've had my 1S on the stand it came with since I got it. Works fine. You may have to adjust the arms a bit depending if you use the extensions and what angle the figure is in.

    The way these are selling, I don't see any reason why a company out to make money would stop now. I fully expect at least everything we've seen on display to be released.
  6. That looks really good!

    Just opened a 1A and right out the box it feels like it came from a completely different factory. Haven't transformed it yet but it feels solid all around. Feeling more relieved now. Wtf happened with Hikaru's 1J? For others who have that new 1J, even without the glaring defects, does it feel like the same quality toy as the others to you?

    Thanks! It's definitely reassuring to hear you have no issues out of the many Valkyries you own.

    I just opened my 1J Hikaru. Wow, you guys were right about the quality drop. The only other one I have opened so far is the Roy Super 1S and this J seems like a KO in comparison. Parts fall off everywhere and it just feels cheap. My right antenna seems ok but the left fell off in the box and during transformation or handling. The backpack blast shield popped off when I first tried to fold it down out of the box and has fallen off at least 5 times since going through the transformations. The chest piece popped off when transforming. One of the missle pods is very loose. Seems like all the parts are correctly installed at least. While the 1S sold me on this whole line, this 1J is giving me a bad taste and making me very worried about the others. Gonna open a 1A next and see how that goes. If it's not more reassuring, I might not ever even transform my M&M's.

    Great pic! Brings out a lot of character from the Regults.
  11. Hmmm, I wasn't that interested to begin with but like usual, once I think I can't get something, I start to regret. Didn't even realize or check to see if it was around since I assumed it was gone. Maybe it will go on sale again in a few days? Haha, will see. Thanks for the heads up!
  12. Ok, so same as Tamashii Web exclusives and no frantic rush. Nice. Although, I remember seeing the regular version stick around for a while.

    Good point...maybe someday but not because I'm concerned with resale. I'd never sell anything I have opened. If sealed, only if I have extra. Part of the reason I have so much stuff.

    Thanks for the tips...sounds ok but I feel safer with parts in the box or on the figure of they designed a smart way to store them. Otherwise, too high a chance to misplace, lose, break or otherwise ruin my day, lol. Anything else and I'm also collecting bags and/or accessory boxes on top of everything else I already collect.
  15. Nice cars! That NES price is insane, lol! I still have my original plus wii has most nes games so I don't see the point in spending that kind of money on such an outdated system.

    If I used zip locks for all my extra accesories, all that would change is me digging through cases of ziplock bags instead of boxes, lol.

    Yeah, the partsforming make the Valkryies much less desirable to transform than I would like. I keep all the parts in the box so it's a pain to dig the box out every time. That's why some storage solution inside the big mechs or in background/effects parts would be the best idea for this line.
  18. I missed out on the last release so and this is pretty cool so I'm in. Will it be available at all the usual spots (hlj,ny,amiami...)?

    Macross figures

    Nice! I'll have to try to watch all those.
  20. I ordered one but since I already have one, I chose the ship method and it was really cheap. I'm not in any hurry to get it so it can take its time and save me money!

    In Walkure outfit? Strange but cool.
  22. Lol @ apologizing for such an awesome display!

    Who's the 6th member back there?

    Same here...I would prefer SHF 6" figures mainly just for the lower cost and display ease.

    Yep, most people are happy to combine shipping for reduced costs...You can always uncombine orders beforehand. As for issues with stock...So far, I've had figures sit in warehouses for over a year at places like AE and NY and never had a problem when I finally wanted to ship.
