@manfred17 - Used items from Manda are usually in excellent shape just like what @betocc and @jemC has mentioned. If there are flaws, Manda discloses it and lists the damages. If the box of the item mentions heavily damaged, it means scratched, dinged, creased or the corners worn out. If Manda says severely box damaged on the listing, then the box is extremely worn out, box beaten to snot, creased, visible rips and very worn out bashed in corners. If there are any tiffs about your stuff from Manda, they will work out an solution with you to get the issue sorted out and hopefully that you have supporting documents to help out. Jungle on the other hand has three listings: Sealed (untouched and straight from the factory), Grade A: Brand new in box, Grade B: Opened and displayed. However Grade B sometimes is a flag: Hidden damages not seen, items maybe fixed due to damages, dis-colouration, etc... and sometimes not listed. You have to ask Jungle for more details and hope that it doesn't get swiped at the same time. Amiami has listed their stuff as follows: Item A, Box B and down the list it goes. Here's the list stated below: "Notice Regarding Pre-Owned Item Please confirm the following conditions of pre-owned items before placing order. - Product image Pictures and images are not photographs of actual products. Please find the Condition Rank about the state of the products for your reference. - Condition Rank of the products. A: Item is sealed and is unopened or appears to be unopened. A-: Item is not sealed but appears to be unopened. B+: Item has been opened but no damage is visible. All bundled items are included. B: Item has been opened and minor dirt or damage is visible. All bundled items are included. C: Opened item with conspicuous damage. Sub parts may be missing. J: Main item or main parts are missing, severely damaged, and/or having problem with operation. -Condition Ranking for Package A: No damage to the box is visible. B: Some damage to the box is visible. C: Box is clearly damaged. N: No box/packaging is included. (item is loose) -Leaflet, application ticket, code such as download codes, batteries, candy toy, are not guaranteed to be included with the item or not being used. -The figure which is released in several years ago might become sticky due to its material. Please note that we are not providing item exchange service. -The cardboard box for transportation is not included."

Only 500 was made from what I read and gone within seconds. That's why I don't even bother with stuff like that and everyone goes "Ga Ga" over it plus gets scalped when it goes on fleabay, craigslist etc..

Now your missing the Slavos to fill in the missing gaps on the Draken @Pontus and the prices have gone down on the add on for the SV 262. Can't go wrong with Manda.

Have you cracked open and fiddled with the 52toys green Dragon yet @iguanaman8989? I think @M'Kyuun might be interested in it and I'll get a copy eventually as I got to wait for some in stock from Amazon.

I did see it then however I didn't bite on it as it was still too much for me then. Now its freaking impossible... @mantisfists - Love to see one done with the Hammer pants on Max! "Can't touch this. Stop... Hammer time!"

Dorklair's review on Dr. Zaius https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BJu_7cBRQ-Y

It does... Either UV light, your hand oils on the valk and possibly the gassing of the styrofoam tray onto the surface can all cause this to happen.

I knew that @crackpot. Not most people know these things anyways and you can ask @no3Ljm about the Hot Toys thing, I have nothing to due with that.

If House of Mouse bought Hot Toys, then that means Disney own a fair share of Marvel Comics as well (which I'm not surprised) Yep: Confirmed on Wikipedia plus the Disney+ channel has all the rights to the Marvel and Fox Movies stuff. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marvel_Comics

@RedComet - Ooohh.. As the adage goes: "Hell as no fury than a women scorned". @jvmacross - That price is a steal however they don't send it to Canada.. After one month of the actual release, you think that Amazon.jp will offer shipping to Canada via DHL (not even the 3rd parties are offering it either)?? Nope.. They give us the slap in the face instead.

I'm with @Slave IV as well on a Max 1s, however dishing out close to almost 50k yen on the Yammie 1/60 Weathered 1s Max from Manda is way over my budget for me.

Its official. HT is re-issuing the MK.5 Armor for those that passed over it the first time. Hot Toys Facebook page has the details.

Jedha Patrol's review on the IM Mk. 85 To pick up or not, it's your call.

The only store that you can have a 50/50 guess on their secondary items is Jungle @Pontus. Even though it says Grade B on listings, you can request further photo snaps of the product before you decide to, however just like @no3Ljm has mentioned, it can be also snagged by someone else. Grade B according to Jungle is labeled: “B grade item”: The item has been removed from packaging and displayed in a show case. However, some damages will not be disclosed during listing so your better off asking first.

Guess who's up on Manda... 1/7th scaled "I dream of Genie Sheryl Nome" by Alter/Megahouse 2 copies available at 25k yen (Kokura and Shibuya branch) however DHL is going to kill you to get it mailed https://order.mandarake.co.jp/order/detailPage/item?itemCode=1155413505&ref=list&keyword=マクロス&lang=en Screenshot taken from ToysTV HK Youtube channel dated Dec. 7th

I'm seriously concidering this one to go with the Mezco One: 12 version on my shelf. Hit the link for more details. https://news.toyark.com/2020/12/28/marvels-spider-man-classic-suit-spider-man-figure-by-hot-toys-414241 Edit: Pre-orders are up in BBTS for $257 USD, to be released Q2 of 2022 https://www.bigbadtoystore.com/Product/VariationDetails/146282

I knew it, I knew it, I knew it! Had a hunch that it will go for 30k yen and it did. https://order.mandarake.co.jp/order/detailPage/item?itemCode=1155257895&ref=list&keyword=マクロス&lang=en The one I listed for 20k yen couple of days ago was a steal at that price. * My cat was literally giving me that: "Are you crazy look" when I was saying it loud *

Back to the DX 1s TV Roy for now.. The heck.. Some lucky duck has snagged it and literally the reasonable DX VF-1 listed so far. https://order.mandarake.co.jp/order/detailPage/item?itemCode=1155187981&ref=list&keyword=マクロス&lang=en

Check in the For Sales thread as well. Members there will post stuff for grabs. http://www.macrossworld.com/mwf/forum/9-for-sale-trade/

Our Furry Feline Doctor @Shizuka the Cat has one for sale as well on her BST forums @DYRL VF-1S if you haven't noticed. I think she wants to sell it off since she's married and the cats are taking up most of her time.

Unwrapped this morning.

Hope you guys got your Christmas presents!!

It's still suspended for now. Only DHL and the import fees by CBSA if you get nabbed.

No EMS to Canada since the uptick in the cases since the beginning of October @wm cheng. You should check the Suspensions thread and I think @Paco Grande has posted it there... You're way behind in updates my Toronto friend and I'm not impressed (fail on your part). Edit to correct month

I did some research on the RAH301 body and this is what was posted on Sideshow Collectables Forum from Stacycmc posted in 2018/06/25 http://www.sideshowcollectors.com/forums/showthread.php?t=189327 "I'm hoping someone can help me as I'm desperately searching for replacement options for a Medicom RAH body (two actually). First my Light Yagami (Death Note) RAH had both shoulders pop off. While trying to replace his body with an Obitsu slim 27cm, his hip fell off. Yay...good quality plastic Medicom!! Then, I'd ordered a Ginko from the Mushi-shi anime (another Medicom RAH). Get him in, and am admiring how awesome he looks....but his right arm is a bit stiff and while I'm gently posing him and trying to loosen up the joint, BAM....it snaps and his arm falls off." Reading on, the Kamen Rider bodies where better for that line. There was a swap done from the Medicom RAH301 to the Truetype Body posted here dated 2010/07/03 and it looked better. http://sideshowcollectors.com/forums/showthread.php?t=59985&highlight=medicom+akira&page=97 So... A Body Swap is suggested if you don't like the RAH301 body, however it's YMMV I guess.
