    It's a DF30 from Moducase which is essentially 24"x24"x12". I don't think it's deep enough to support the 2x Fin Funnel stand behind it and it Might be a tight fit for 2x Londo Bell Sets. You can get one customized for you with dimensions that you want as they're very flexible. The biggest issue with Moducase is the wait time. Due to the pandemic it took over 1 year from purchase to delivery. I have ordered more cases and delivery was only slightly better at 10 months. There are other options you can go with that I'm sure will deliver sooner if this is all you plan on displaying in a case.

    @slaginpitTo each there own I suppose. I'm happy with my purchase and I'd do it again in a heartbeat if given the same choice today. If that makes me a city idiot in your eyes then so be it. Collecting toys has never made financial sense, nor is choosing a Mercedes over a Honda Civic. A grocery bag has virtually the same function as a Lois Vuitton Purse, A Casio watch tells the same time as a Rolex, etc etc. You're absolutely right from your perspective, world, and financial viewpoint, for your personal situation and taste. For me, I enjoyed the rivalry between Char and Amuro from their first encounter with each other in a Zaku II/RX-78 in the original Gundam Series to the end/finale with the Sazabi/Nu in Char's Counter Attack. We have representations of these mechs in 1/144 and 1/100 but not too much in the 1/60 or higher scale that I prefer. @carlsylarNice Zeta! I hope they come out with a Metal build or GFMMC of this in 1/100 scale. Preferably without transformation gimmick.

    I'm not in the business of scalping as I collect for personal enjoyment. If I were, then maybe I'd keep everything MISB and purchase more than one. However, I'll bite and include all the factors you suggest. If I were to resell, I think I could get double the price I paid for each fin funnel set ($500 each vs total) and maybe upwards of $1500 or more for an opened/used Nu Gundam Metal Structure. This might be out of the price range you would be willing to pay but price isn't a factor for others. A quick glance on eBay would suggest I'm low balling my theoretical asking price as well. If only I had purchased two. One to display and one to sell MISB. The MISB set would have easily covered the cost of both and I would essentially be left with a 'free' Gundam. I can kindof see your perspective when I think about the 1/144 scale Gundam made out of Titanium that Bandai sold recently. While this isn't something I would purchase personally, someone out there would. Good for them if they have the financial means to do so. Still looking forward to that Sazabi Metal Structure.. Even if the price is $1500 MSRP.

    Thanks for the reminder!

    Ouch. Ok. While I don’t disagree with your assessment the character and mech holds value for me at a scale I’ve always wanted with a materials and finish I could never get of it were a model kit. MoShow does make an impressive figure but it holds no value for me. Even if it is under $200.
  6. Grey728
    Yeah.. I need that Sazabi to. Please excuse the mess. I'm waiting on more display cases to arrive.

    Kits 70 and 71 show how the leg will move to attach the strike pieces. I really do hope they come out with a super/strike set that teased on the first issue but we’ll see if it actually happens.

    That 20% off discount coupon good for the entire 2021 and no purchase limits was pretty good in my opinion. I bought a Premium Finish as well as other big ticket items with it and all I had to do to get it was buy a $12 pen and ship it. Worth it.

    I have a much easier time getting Soul of Chogokin and Gundam Metal Builds/GFFMC. At least there are stateside outlets to help with that if you're willing to wait a month or two.

    Still up on HLJ. Is it my imagination or did this feel... too easy?
  12. Grey728
    Yes. The third reissue is coming soon. Surethingtoys even secured more stock for preorder earlier this month.
  13. Grey728
    I have even more questions now.. What if you want BOTH sizes (the medium and large ones) provided they hit their PO quantities? What scale is this and where are the 1/48 scale ones that are in production?
  14. Grey728
    I wish they would give this and an SDF-1 the SoC DX treatment.

    @carlsylar I love how you low key flex on us with your accessory choices for your metal build images.
  16. Grey728
    Love it. I wish Bandai came out with more of these FA figures. They're fun to mess with.

    Uhm.. May I remind you that you're on the Macross forums and we're all about collecting the exact same molds over and over again but with a head and color swap. Joking aside, their designs are pretty slick. I just don't have that emotional connection to them that certain cartoons from my childhood have ingrained in me to justify a purchase. It's art, but art without history, significance, or meaning.

    Can confirm. Just did a 'quick' panel lining of my copy of Roy and now I NEED to do the rest. I didn't even do a very good job, but it's HEAPS better than vanilla. I should do a side by side comparison... hmm

    Man.. I wish they'd release this GoLion as an SoC DX... That would be amazing.
