  1. Raideen is another great one. I love most the super robots from back in the day starting with the OG, Mazinger Z. The gimmicks with the Mechander are really great, especially the shields but I love them all. I would say objectively, the figure warrants a sub $200 price easily but given the likely smaller run from an offshoot company, I get the ~$250 price. That extra $50 or so makes it a tougher call if it were anyone that just didn’t absolutely have to have it. The figure itself is top notch from finish, design, build, joints perspective (however, no diecast). It just feels wonderful to mess with.
  2. Thanks @Saburo! It’s a fantastic piece and should still be around so it’s not too late. As I mentioned, this was a must buy for me but it depends on your connection to it. Such a crazy design that immediately hit the nostalgia buttons for me and I’m glad it came out as good as it is.
  3. Well, that’s pretty cool! I saw something like that once and I was on my way to checkout when I noticed signs that it was a swap out so I just left it at the counter. Really cool to see actual ones especially when the card back and the car inside are both desirable.
  4. Haha, fwiw all my Arcadia and DX Valk orders from there have been shipping out within the first week of release, some of them even shipped before other shops request payment. I doubt they will have any issues delivering this one.
  5. Haha, nice! This is a very sweet figure and I can’t believe I forgot about the character until I saw this go on preorder. Knew at that moment I had to have it.
  6. Are you sure that hasn’t been opened and swapped? I’d take the Audi if I saw it.
  7. Sweet! Nice paring with Baron Karza too.
  8. @sh9000 photos keep getting better and better! Posing, lighting, ps skills, all coming together!
  9. Haha yeah. We were talking about display cabinet costs...I suspect you probably spent another Good chunk on stands.
  10. Most important question. Do the tiny missiles stay on or fall off if you look at them funny?
  11. I have enough to hold me over for now. When they become available again, I’m on it! Was planning on placing an order before it was shut down but procrastinated too long.
  12. Thanks! Haha, yeah. I don’t care about KO or not, just who has what I want at the right price. Given that, the only KO Valks I’ve ordered are the two 1A variants I’m still waiting for. From what I’ve seen, the official versions don’t cost significantly more if you buy them during preorder or on sale and with better quality so I don’t find much value in KO Valks yet. KO Transformers are another story for me though. I usually prefer those over official because they are usually a lot cheaper and for the most part, better quality or other improvements.
  13. I bought those clear parts separately a while ago. Love them!
  14. That’s basically a Flightpose stand. I’m not really happy with those but they are the best we have without Yeti. The Arcadia launch atm is cool but it looks lame to me to have more than a couple Valks displayed on a launch arm.
  15. Nice! Looks like enough decos for me without having the PF version.
  16. Very nice shots @peter!
  17. I was just thinking about these recently. I’ve had a couple VF-1As (Brownie and Angel Bird) on preorder for quite a long time now with no peep about when I might get them.
  18. Not sure. Mines listed at 28200 but I don’t think that includes the tax they will tack on.
  19. Lol, mine is coming from AJ but only one.
  20. Yeah, their price is pretty high for it. I was thinking if I was to get the PF, it’s one thing I’d go for at NY or wait to see if it goes on clearance like some of the other PFs eventually did.
