    For the 2ss you could use a Bandai display stand 4or 5 to hold the bits.

    I use a bunch of their gunpla stands for my gunpla. Nominally, these are the purposes for Display Base 1-5: 1, 4: For 1/100 MG scale gundam kits or 1/72 scale Macross kits. 2, 3, 5: for 1/144 scale gundam kits. I wouldn't stick an HMR on anything other than a 1. Even a 5 isn't great for it due to the base-plate being 3 narrower parts, rather than the single large piece of 1.

    I think you're protected against the company folding, since it covers non-delivery. I don't usually bother when it comes to stuff bought new, but I guess this is one case for doing so.

    ...It's a bit.. ...Cheeky... ...

    Shipped out some of the Hachette VF-1 collections from HLJ on 3/14. Haven't left Japan yet. Oh well.

    I only started getting DX Valks around the time of the renewal VF-25, only one I had before that was a beat to crap Chunky from a garage sale. Never had any Yamato valks until after the company was gone. I only have a single Yamato 1/60 VF-1 (and 2x 1/48s), which is a V1. Never saw the need to buy Yamato over Arcadia.

    I moved a year ago, and all of the work of taking down my valks (and gundam models), transforming them back, boxing them back up, and taking them over was just exhausting. Doing that many transformations in a short period just took the fun out of it for me, at least for a while. The DX is legitimately the only toy I've actually enjoyed transforming since then, and most of the ones back up on display are still in fighter mode.

    Y'all making me feel bad for not ever having pulled my PF VF-0S out of the box. Of the toys I've actually opened up for more than inspection: Yamato: YF-21 Arcadia: PF SDF-1 Bandai: DX VF-1S Regarding the DX: as an engineer, I appreciate small improvements across the board. There's no need to re-invent the wheel with every toy, sometimes you just need to change the spoke pattern or the radius a smidge. The DX VF-1 is by far the best posing battroid I have. The transformation is simple and the articulation is amazing. I haven't personally had issues with fighter alignment or the swing-bar.

    I'd be down for CAD work.
  10. Sanity is Optional
    Yup, it looks good. Working on my Thunderbolt right now, definitely going to take a break and do something less complicated after though rather than move on to the Psycho Zaku.
  11. Sanity is Optional
    Just what the MG Full Armor Thunderbolt needed: EVEN MORE WEAPONS! I kid, but seriously beware of "weapon fatigue" if you do this at the same time as the rest of the suit.

    Honestly, just charge-back your card and let ebay hang.
  13. Sanity is Optional
    Haven't shipped mine either. I'm debating asking for a refund, though I know I'll just end up with weird store credit.
  14. Sanity is Optional
    I suspect that any further Delta releases will be once the movie is out.
  15. Sanity is Optional
    Nice one, I think I'll have to get one for the M0 display.
  16. Sanity is Optional
    When was their first one supposed to release anyway?
  17. Sanity is Optional
    There is no other line for getting a Monster Mk II in-scale with everything else.
  18. Sanity is Optional
    Anywhere else you can buy these, other than taobao? Managed to hang on registering my account somehow, so my phone is in use but I can't login or recover.
  19. Sanity is Optional
    I had an order direct from P-Bandai via an ebay seller (cost was low enough they wouldn't have had margin any other way). I had to wait I believe 2-3 months because of how Bandai was trickling them out.
  20. Sanity is Optional
    Also, as I recall, Bandai mistakenly left the pre-orders open on their website after they'd already reached the production limit for the 31a.
  21. Sanity is Optional
    Already watched the first 6 episodes (Netflix released them already in Japanese, and there's subs out). It's pretty good, not completely bonkers insane like Gurren Lagann or Kill la Kill, but quite good. Characters and art are interesting, metaplot is present but each episode stands alone.
  22. Sanity is Optional
    Looks like FromJapan managed to secure an order for me. Anyone still looking: try DeJapan and Zen Market. If those fail, and you don't mind paying similar price to NY you can try emailing Gentei Kits and seeing if he can get one for you.
  23. Sanity is Optional
    For reference, there are two other proxies I've used when From Japan was out of quantity (Metal Build Gernsback). Zen Market DeJapan Tenso/Buyee also work, except you can't use them to order anything from P-Bandai.
  24. Sanity is Optional
    It's still available on the P-Bandai website, the issue is that the various proxies are already full on orders due to limited quantities per address. Probably a lot of ebay/amazon sellers going to pop up.
  25. Sanity is Optional
    ¥19,800 up front, ¥200 payment fee, ¥300 plan fee, ¥660 domestic shipping. So ¥20,960 before international shipping, of which ¥19,800 is up-front. Then probably ~¥3000-¥5000 international shipping.
