    Man, those shipping charges sting....but at least I can skip the ebay prices for the artillery pods...

    Wish the latter series were a bit easier to find. I have series 1, plus 2 sealed boxed, but couldn't find much for the rest.

    Sigh... 💸💸💸

    Well, looks like it'll get funded, if narrowly. I am totally down for some Desdroids when those open up.

    They look very similar to the metallic coated Gundam kits, which electroplated on top, for the uncolored metallic ones the coating thickness isn't too bad (colored metallic is much thicker). Will need to wait for mine to show up to see how it looks up close. I have a few kits I can compare against.

    Looking good, I'm down for one!

    Well, of the 2 I got through US sellers, at least 1 had a straight antenna. Need to actually open them to check for all the other possible issues next...

    Well, mine showed today, and the tail fin is fine, still need to check the head though. I guess between a broken VT-1 and a YF-21 bad head laser, I'll take the bent head laser. At least that can be fixed/replaced much more easily.

    If I liked Delta I'd be all over this. Now give me a Sheryl VF-25/YF-29 already!

    Sorry, as a mechanical engineer going to have to roll my eyes suuuuuuper hard at that take. CAD lets people like me put onto "paper", and into the real world exactly what is in our heads, and do it with good tolerancing, well defined curves, and straight lines/flat panels. What you see with "hand made" before was a machinist going over the molds with a file until the test parts actually fit together the way they were supposed to, or something approaching it. The tolerances were huge, the gaps were ugly, the lines are screwed up because things had to be tweaked until they fit. What you are actually complaining about is the designs themselves, not the methods people are using to make them. Also, the fact that you are lumping CAD, AI, and CGI together is frankly insulting.

    Considering the main US distro is probably coming over on pallets, rather than individual boxes, might be a bit better? Of course, that's before it gets shipped inside the US, so might be just as bad.

    Huh, I've always been careful to not touch, even after a full day of drying, due to how fragile the chrome effect is.
  13. Sanity is Optional
    Does that work well? I've used Molotow before, but never tried putting anything on top.
  14. Sanity is Optional
    Glad you're enjoying it 👍 Never even actually opened the box, just been displaying the basic version instead.
  15. Sanity is Optional
    Mine showed up at the proxy a few days back, figured I'd check YJA and see if I wanted to throw anything else in the box along with (don't tell my GF).
  16. Sanity is Optional
    Yeah, the dark silver rather than white/light grey is just awful, and overall it looks like a cheap knockoff.
  17. Sanity is Optional
    Wow, they still have Megumi Hayashibara doing the voices?

    I bought new stuff from them through WarBricks (California) and was able to get missing parts shipped directly from Cobi for free. One of their ships (HMS Warspite) was missing like 10 parts.
  19. Sanity is Optional
    Just sitting here, waiting until the US distributors I ended up going with actually ship... And hoping no broken head lasers when these show up...
  20. Sanity is Optional
    FWIW, I was able to contact Arcadia and get the replacement leg shipped to my Tenso address quite easily, with basic google translated emails to them directly. And yes, I did explain I was in the US and bought through a vendor that couldn't help me directly.

    Well, guess I'm still not regretting getting a couple Yamato 21s. I do like the new legs on Bandai much more, and hopefully this should pose much better (the Yamato is a floppy spindly mess when it comes to posing)
  22. Sanity is Optional
    Much better than bbts and other US retailers. Still a bit more than the $230 plus proxy fees and international shipping I'm paying.
  23. Sanity is Optional
    Unfortunately for anyone in California, they do charge CA sales tax here. Just shy of $340 shipped.
  24. Sanity is Optional
    FWIW, the VF-25 and VF-27 are not bad at all. The 31 is even quite good, and can pose without a stand even, and is fairly solid in all modes. The SV-262 is actually really good, better than the DX figure as far as transformation goes.
  25. Sanity is Optional
    $350, and only 1 left.
