  1. Just tried to get the Cobra Commander ordered. That site is more BS than any Valk preorder I ever went through. Or. at least the same level of BS, lol.
  2. Looks pretty good. I'm still waiting to see what Newage does with it.

    Lol, fair enough! I'll be first in line to order that super limited edition square tire valk!
  4. Ah, nice choice! Once you open and handle it, consider yourself addicted.

    Interesting. I usually read complaints about not being accurate to the source material. Since it is a no win situation for companies that make these things, maybe they should stop? Oh yeah, I forgot they still win because no matter how much people complain, they still pay money to get this stuff to complain about.
  6. I use Flightpose for paintless figures or on unpainted parts of contact. If I need to connect at a painted point, I put some tape over the tips to protect the paint. Overall, I find Flightpose to be a pita because of this and they aren’t always easy to balance your figure in a stable way. I have one Flightpose that I bought before I realized the extra investment in Yetistands was well worth it And one that came with a Calibre Wings model and it can barely hold that without being on the verge of falling at all times. I’ll never buy another Flightpose but they can serve their purpose.
  7. Haha yeah. I'm doing the same and it really doesn't matter to me. Just figured I'd see pitchforks here over it but then again, they aren't called NY. Whatever happens, it is a negative mark to me if they are going back on their already published word. That's the kind of thing that means more to me.
  8. I wonder if anyone else is a bit annoyed that Okiniland had a notice saying that all orders placed before April would be shipped using an available method at no additional charge but now they removed that note and are asking for additional payment to ship orders. They are offering to hold items so it's not a huge deal to me but considering how much people here like to complain, to me going back on your word is worse than just taking a long time to do something or pretty much anything else.
  9. Oh man, not used to seeing non Valk pics. Still amazing!
  10. Nice pickups everyone! I'll share what I picked up in the mail today when I open it later...
  11. Yeah, I think @ChaoticYeti is still offering stands but I think I read something about a supply issue that would make sense. As for comparable stands, there are none. Yeti stands and by far the best out there.
  12. I ordered a backup SSP and Missile Set from NY too. Will see how that goes but I'm not worried about it at all.
  13. Good thing FJ offers ferry shipping. My SSP packs I ordered through them should be arriving soon.
  14. That too. I forgot they offer that service.
  15. Best way I've seen is to check for the same item or similar size items at Sahara and they will have shipping prices listed on the product page or give you the price at checkout. You should be able to at least get a decent ballpark or even the exact shipping cost that way.
  16. Aaand speaking of Mandarake, I made this order a couple months ago, right before the limited shipping announcement. Shipped Airmail. I was expecting to get a notice that it was returned and hoping to get that free DHL upgrade but happy to see it arrive!
  17. Ah thanks for the info! Yeah, I've noticed my AJ orders have been charging less for shipping lately so my guess is they are switching to a more weight/size based pricing instead of the flat 1600Y pricing from before. I've been avoiding any new orders from Mandarake because I was scared to pay the expedited shipping prices but now that I know this, I might make a few small orders now.
  18. That DHL fee seems reasonable. Which shop is that from?
  19. Nice! You just gave me an idea too... And also , nice gear!

    BANDAI DX YF-19!!

    Sweet pics! Thanks for sharing and congrats on getting this lovely bird!
  21. Same here. I had over 10 pending orders, paid and unpaid when I requested to change address. They did all of them. I find their ticket system is much more helpful than the chat system.
