Makina...zoom, enhance. Lol, I don't want all these figures but I have a feeling I might buy them all when available.
-
Damn, missed it again!
-
Yeah, I was kidding and definitely appreciate the offer! I basically missed the boat with 1/48 Valkyries so I give up. If I can find one for cheap enough, I'll buy just to use the GBP armor I have sitting around with nothing to go on.
-
Taking advantage of a person during weak times? Haha, thanks for the notice but unless I come across a deal too good to pass up, I think I'll just be happy with the HMR versions I'll be getting soon and hope for Arcadia to reissue the 1/60s. Your price is really good but just a bit more than I'm willing to spend on it.

That is such a great thing...It has to do with the AWD because all the autos used to be coupled with the VTD AWD system instead of the viscous coupling system on your cars. And yeah, my wife said she's never seen the look I had on my face when I found a receipt for a 1/48 VF-1J Max that I must own but never remembered I bought. I still need to find it from my storage but it's one of the grails of my collection. Only wish I had a Milia to go with it but glad to finally be able to make the pair with the upcoming HMR versions. Hopefully Arcadia will be releasing their 1/60 versions too.

Thanks a lot! Similar thing for me...It was actually losing my GF of years (just break up, no death), then my Grandma passed away, then my Mom...all within a couple years. Hit me hard. Then, just earlier this year, my aunt who was the last woman from that generation and looked just like my mom passed away from a freak accident. Crazy stuff and now that I have two kids of my own, I sometimes think about the day when they will have to deal with something similar. Anyways, we do the best we can while we can and that's what counts. Maybe this whole collection craze we have has something to do with holding on to things that won't go away. All I know is it definitely brings me happiness to collect and I really enjoy sharing my collection with my kids. Even when kids were nowhere near being in the picture in my life, I always had the thought in the back of my mind that someday I would pass my collection on to my future kids.

Sweet! I know exactly how you feel...I have two room sized storage sheds filled to the top in boxes of stuff I've amassed over the years. Every time I open a box, it's like uncovering buried treasure and it always brings a smile to my face to find gems I forgot I had. I also had a tough time myself when my mother passed away a few years ago after several years of battling cancer and it's times like that where you forget about everything else you did just prior or during the crisis. I would keep most of that myself but probably not more than two of each item. If you are willing to sell sometime, I really need a 1/48 valk and preferably a low-vis variant since I also recently uncovered a low-vis GBP armor that I've had stored away but no Valk to go with it. Looking forward to seeing your future display sometime! Also, nice taste in cars!

Your most recent Macross or toy purchase! General thread.

Damn, you guys are really tempting me on these Metal Build Gundams...How good are they? Would these be considered the definitive non-model figures for Gundam? Is there a lot of metal or is it just a name like "Hi-Metal"? I'll also check out some reviews when I get a chance. -
Nooooooo! No subscriptions! Sweet!
-
Yeah, the Regult pods have to come with Regults or it will totally suck. As for the 2SS, I don't care about it but at this point, I'm all in on any HMR Macross release. Much cheaper to collect these than 1/60 versions so I'm hoping they rerelease the Macross 7 figures and do them all as well...plus SHF figures so I can finally have my Sivil!

Nice Transformers collection and cabinets! -
The only items I've seen that require instant payment are exclusive items like any of the Tamashii exclusives. Everything else I've bought from NY gives you the option to pay once the item is in stock. Anime Export requires instant payment on everything, which is why I avoid buying things from them other than in stock items.

Oh man, I need that Mazinger! Just so expensive! -
I got the same delayed message from NY but I don't care because I won't pay for mine until it's ready to ship and they ask me to pay. Either way, I have my gripes about NY but I've never been concerned about not getting something I ordered from them, especially if I already paid for it.
-
The Armored 1A will be a nice consolation since I missed the 1J.
-
Argh, that is a bit cheaper than I got the 1A for at Mykombini...Oh well, lesson learned and I'm hopefully not going to order from those guys again.
-
Ok, that makes more sense.
-
I don't get why you say the clamp doesn't need to secure the Valk and why the bottom stand is needed when your example shows the Valk secured from the top clamp and nothing on the bottom...what am I missing?
-
Fair enough...Although, looking at my set, I don't think they were too accurate with the scaling. I'll try them out sometime.
-
Buildings come in different sizes...
-
Cool! I got nothing against you or anyone else here...I found this forum to be extremely pleasant until all the recent bickering so just trying to clarify what's what and move on. My amiami 1A has not arrived either...
-
Yeah, that's the part I did find funny since SOC's are more expensive and you mention stuff about other people being rich and you not being able to afford... Anyways, I didn't know there was a seniority thing around here or any other forum to be able to participate in a conversation. Like I said, I don't care either way and agree that all this stuff is too expensive. I usually just ignore the stuff I don't want to pay for or make a couple posts about why I'm passing but you do you, it's all good. HMR line was a complete pass for me based on the reviews of the Valks but once I saw the Regult and other mechs, I was all in based on the unparralled display options they offer as a complete line. I really shouldn't be paying this kind of money for them but hey, I like Macross enough to sacrifice other wants for them.
-
I don't care either way but more evidence: OK, now that we've established one poster's preference is SOC over Macross and heard about his lower enthusiasm for the HMR line, let's move along! I really hope those Regult variants are not add on packs and full figures...I'm guessing one of those or the Spartan will be announced next.
-
Wow! Nice!
-
I'm just going to use my Monsterarts effects for the buildings and call it a day. If they make specific Macross ones, cool but I'd rather have more missiles and spaceship diorama type effects.
