    Eh, anyone who pays twice market to NY instead of looking around and buying cheaper elsewhere should know better. They've always charged over-market for already released stuff that's popular.

    Got my Metal Build Eva, plus the ¥30,000 Gunpla Lucky Bag from Banzai Hobby (which took ~3months via ferry to arrive). Honestly, I feel they cheaped out a bit this year, promised 5RG/2MH/1HiRM kits plus 3 clear files, an Action Base 3, and a pair of Zeon Shorts. For the "More Gunpla Kits!" it was just the 2 figure-rise busts. Which at least matched the MG kits. Also ¥11,500 of the promised value was those shorts that don't even fit.

    Wash and prime, and lay down a gloss topcoat before lining (especially something aggressive like Tamiya), then topcoat matte after.

    Worth noting that ZenMarket also charges a percentage to add funds.

    PF=Premium Finish. Until the VE-1 the only official place to buy PF editions were from the Arcadia web store, similar to P-Bandai or Tamashii Web Exclusive items. HLJ does carry Arcadia exclusives, whereas they don't for Bandai.

    It seems the HMR line is doing fairly well, since most things (aside from desdroids) sell out without too much in the way of discounts.

    MyKonbini is also the shop that cancelled pre-orders for the 31a. Then relisted at a huge markup.

    It does include extra stand parts, they're clear and come off the back of the main arm.

    On the whole I liked it, and it's not the worst Marvel Movie (that would be Thor 2). It could have been better, but it was still a good movie overall.

    1 for my 31S, 1 for repainting and possibly parting out, and 1 for a friend.

    Just got confirmation from FromJapan they got my order for 3x armors in.

    Same, 5% off and I usually ship SAL, only EMS for packages too large for SAL.

    So, checking again, it's just one joint. The inner shoulder joint that goes up-down to the side, and has a soft ratchet at the upmost end on the right shoulder is pretty loose, takes no force to move it. The one on the left shoulder is slightly firmer, but either one will sag down immediately if the Eva is holding something. Fortunately, there's the main shoulder articulation point, so I can just use that instead to get arm elevation.

    Just got my Eva in, do the arm joints feel a bit loose to anyone else?

    Falke and Codarl would be awesome additions, The Falke might get made as a TWE, since it shares the frame of the rest, but the Codarl is less likely.

    I started in mid 2015 with a used DX VF-25 renewal. I now have over probably around 40 transforming valks in 1/60 scale. Plus HMR line. Plus Yamato Tomahawk and Queadluun. Plus Koenig Monster and Macross Quarter and TWO 1/3000 SFD-1s. I calculated how much I've spent, and it's not a number I want to acknowledge.

    I think my Hayate supers shipped were under ¥10,000
  18. Sanity is Optional
    ...I thought that was our purpose? Can I get a wallet destroyer gif in here?

    If you check the DX images for Chuck's Valk, it's definitely orange, rather than the mustard yellow it was in the show. The colors of the DX looks pretty close to the Armor pack.
  20. Sanity is Optional
    I kinda want to take the armor pack, repaint the red/teal sections (and remove the chest/heatshield tampo), and mount it on Chuck with the radome pod. The oranges ought to match fairly well, from the pictures.

    Plus there's still a second Delta movie in the works, who knows what'll show up from that.

    VF-0 and YF-19 are both new mold. Plus the VF-0D which wasn't even released by Yamato. The SV-51 is their third re-design of a Yamato release.

    He's using UPS, not EMS. NY charges a FRAKLOAD for UPS.

    I have not noticed any shipping markups, personally. I have noticed a few YJA auctions had ridiculous domestic shipping fees, but I don't blame FJ for that. Most SAL is around the 1500yen baseline for registered packages. Not sure what you're referring to in taxes, since they only charge tax on store-bought items (including auctions by stores)

    So, just a FYI to people, you can order this (and all P-Bandai items) through YJA/Rakuten Proxies like FromJapan and ZenMarket as well. Not Buyee though, they don't allow pre-ordering P-Bandai stuff. This is direct from P-Bandai (rather than a YJA or other proxy seller), they have a shopping service where you just tell them the store item URL, name, quantity, etc... and they will order and ship to you. I put in my order for 3 through FromJapan yesterday, $465 up front, and another 900yen+shipping (domestic and international) once it arrives.
