    I got the message immediately when I entered the url for the item. I was unable to continue because they reached their allotted amount already.
  2. Slave IV
    No problem! Sounds like everyone who wants it is good now. And there is always NY at a slight premium.

    My guess is what happened to me is not the norm or they wouldn’t be in business but I have heard similar stories about them. If you want to hedge your bets, try an order at okiniland too. Either way, hope it works out for you.

    I preordered a TWE through them a while back. After taking my money, they never delivered and never responded to me ever again. I waited two months after the item released to contact them about it and they just ignored me. They ignored disputed from PayPal too so in the end, I just got my money back and will never use them again. F them!

    Yeah, looks like FJ already reached their limit too. Okiniland it is!

    I’m surprised NY came out with such a high price. Not very typical for them and they lost my business on this one. For those that went with FJ, how much did it end up being? Thanks!

    The good thing is USD is strong against JPY again so we will have favorable rates right now. Even so, I'm going to try to hold out for a while and see...

    Yeah, I'm just going to wait for NY as usual. Cheapest and easiest for me. Plus, if all these people who say they are passing really do, it should be available for a long time and I can order about a month before release like I usually do for TWE items.

    Yeah, I'm not a big MB collector and ironically, I have the non-gundam releases like the Mazingers and Evas...and I love those. There is no way I'm going to collect a bunch of Gundam MBs though....unless they do G Gundam. Then I'm fv(ked! LOL!

    Only proxy I've used is FromJapan. They seem to be the easiest, with lowest, most straightforward fees of the ones I checked. But I'll most likely be ordering from NY since it should be cheaper and definitely easier to deal with.

    No problem! I'm glad I'm happy with the Metal Build EVAs for my Evangelion needs. Those figures are excellent all around and yes, I'm fine with the look even though they are not OG designs...to me, they look better and that's what matters. I ordered the Robot Damashii ones to have as somewhat in scale adversaries for my SHMA Godzilla figures and especially to go with Riobot NERV Anti-G.
  12. Slave IV
    I don't have those but Medicom has very spotty QC. Their figures can range from sloppy junk to some of the best out there. If it's just loose joints, you can use Future or some other acrylic polish to tighten them up. I did just order some of the latest EVA figures Bandai made for their Robot Damashii line, which is generally very good so will see how that goes.

    My guess is some form of Roy will come next.

    I don't mind crowds as long as there is an organic motion going on. Like those Marvel or DC comic posters with a bunch of characters all together but all doing their thing.

    Haha, definitely! Part of my thing with the decal is that I always want my items to be complete and as original as possible. Using a decal sheet or throwing away box and packing material drives me crazy, lol! As for displays, I'm with you on stands but I will make some exceptions, especially when the stand is part of the display like the recent Arcadia launch arm stands. BUT, I really dislike displays where most things are displayed the same way. Like a bunch of fighter mode all at the same angle. I only bought two Arcadia Stands because I can't imagine ever wanting more than two valks displayed on the launch arm. The thing that bugs me most is not as prevalent with Valks but collections of action figures where all the figures, no matter how articulated they can be, are instead packed like sardines and posed in a sterile, standing up straight pose. Basically, I like my displays to be set up telling some kind of story, with action and diversity throughout.

    Hi-Metal R

    Lol! We need to add a "x100" next to each decal for him. My most wanted Valk in DX, Arcadia, HMR and any other form right now.
  18. Slave IV
    Haha, I’m so friggin anal about other stuff though! Like I love that we are getting this decal sheet but I will never use it! I’ll just admire it and if I wanted to use it, I’d scan it and make my own so I don’t have to use the original.
  19. Slave IV
    I see the decal sheet as a bonus for paying more for the TWE item and love that they provide different option for other parts. I don’t care about the number decals at all, those skull ones though, sweet!
  20. Slave IV
    I actually thought the decals were also setup the wrong way to nail in the point that they were doing it on purpose. But I guess I see that they might be set to fix one side to be the way you want. But they don't address the other fins on the legs...I don't even know because again, I don't really pay attention to those tiny numbers. Flight tower was just a joke in continuation to the discussion that a real flight tower would have to know which side they were looking at to determine what number they should interpret... And exactly! These are on a shelf to display most the time. I have 20/20 vision and I'd have to be no more than a couple feet away from it to see the difference clearly and only if I am specifically focusing on those numbers. I don't know about the rest of you but I spend most my life more than a couple feet away from my display shelves. The times I am close enough, I'm playing with the toy or checking it out overall, not worrying about a tiny number that takes up about 1% or less of the total surface area I'm looking at. I feel for those of you that are infuriated by it but for me, it ain't no thang and I'm definitely glad because I have a lot of other things less trivial to me to worry about.
  21. Slave IV
    Haha, yeah! It’s not like I’m a flight tower or it’s something I even notice while playing with such an awesome toy. 99.99% of the time, I won’t even see it and the other .01, I don’t care.
  22. Slave IV
    Nice! I might end up ordering this a bit earlier than usual given how some TWE Macross items have gone lately. But I see they double, triple, quadrupled down on their numbering “mistake” so that pretty much solidified their statement and what they think about that. Lol, it doesn’t matter to me but I see some fans are steaming over it.
  23. Slave IV
    Sweet setup!
  24. Slave IV
    Oh, good to know, thanks! In the end, I’ll use whatever is cheapest and that’s usually the boat.
  25. Slave IV
    Awesome!
