  1. Make sure you open and and see if all the parts go together. I bought this a few years ago and one of the main cannons was broken and I couldn't even put the thing together because nothing fit right. - Right cannon broken out of box - left arm wouldn't peg in - right leg wouldn't peg in so statue wouldn't light up. I'm tempted to try again but I'm very nervous about it. My experience here:
  2. I also compared the weight of the Bandai DX and Voltron in case anyone was interested. Voltron: 5 lbs 0.4oz Voltes V: 3 lbs 4.2oz Combattler: 3 lbs 9.8oz
  3. Just got my Blitzway Voltron! So far, I haven't seen any QC issues on mine. No breaks or cracks. Hope others have the same experience!
  4. @carlsylar already has his and I’m 99% sure he has pics ready to post. He’s just not allowed to post anything until after July 30th.
  5. On the other hand I have mixed feelings about who's bringing this to market. I loathe Toynami, am indifferent about Harmony Gold, but MoShow kicks ass. It will be interesting how this plays out.
  6. I like the modern take. It's also larger at 9.5-10inches tall. I'm in if the quality is good and is more durable than Sentinel's.
  7. I've ordered metal builds from them in the past. It usually takes a little over a month after JP release for US retailers to receive their items, however, that was Pre-COVID when items arrived and shipped from our ports in a timely manner.
  8. I found this on BigBadToyStore that could work as a substitute for those of us who didn't manage to snag a pilot figure exclusive. I think the car is the main attraction but I'm in for the pilot figure. It's 1/24 scale too. There's also a Rick Hunter edition as well. https://www.bigbadtoystore.com/Product/VariationDetails/210588
  9. I think the Metal Build line was specifically and intentionally designed for @carlsylar personal enjoyment. His images and over the top load outs are always awesome.
  10. I find it oddly ironic/hilarious that for macross we have super specific fast/super/armor packs for our VF-31s while the metal build Strike/Astray line continue to get new backpack/accessories. I have one Aile Strike as well as Red/Blue/Black/White Astrays that already came with a backpack but we have like 10 different accessories now that we can mix and match in addition to the already provided accessories. Is this really what the metal build infinity was meant to be?
  11. Lol yeah, that sucker just wants to be posed. I had a hard time making him just stand up straight because there's so many points of articulation just in it's feet! Anywho, posing takes up SO much space and I need to fit like 2-3 more figures on that shelf still. I also have no imagination so I just use the same standard pose over and over again. I wish there was a thread on people just posing their toys in epic/unique ways that I could copy. Thanks
  12. I really hate color specific Armor and Super parts. I just received my super parts for my #05 blue 31AX and only have one jet. I wish Bandai would figure out a way to make these parts universal like they did for for the VF-1 1/48. I'd purchase multiples if there was flexibility here to pick and choose which VF I wanted to dress up.
  13. Only the stupidly rich. Anyone want to support my onlyfans account?
  14. Sure! I’m in if they have a 5 year zero down, zero interest payment plan!
  15. Looks like a pink Exia to me.
  16. Yeah. I’m getting tired of the line. It’s usually a very small pool of metal build molds that they re-use. Some iteration of an Astray, Exia, Strike, Wing, or Crossbone but…
  17. Thanks everyone! Honestly, if I hadn't found MacrossWorld when I did (Arcadia release of the SDF-1) I don't think I would have ever gotten back into collecting. This website has been an amazing resource for links to stores and information on items I never knew existed or could ever find outside of eBay.
