Chinese review video is out :

Did you get a payment request? I have not seen one for my PO yet. I hope I don't miss the second batch. Pondering if I should make a full payment proactively to get ahead on the queue.
-
+1 In the same situation. After the refund from ebay, I am considering if I should buy this for USD$145.

Your most recent Macross or toy purchase! General thread.

Sweet! You have a very nice friend. -
This is indeed a big bummer. I manage to buy a PF milia at a very good price during NY sales last year, but the max version will cost me something near to $300. So at the end, I give up and pay $90 for this KO. I can swap out the arm armor with a TV valk. Luckily, there are no much marking on the arm armor, so replacing this using a non PF TV valk will be less problematic than other parts. Seeing the different between my KO roy and my Yamato roy, the no step and other marking are worth having. Sticker is not optimum, if I want the PF looks, I will need to hunt down some 1/60 decal sheet and spend a ton of time applying it.

I receive the 25% discount offer too. I had a bad experience at ebay when a seller discounted his item 45% and turn out that the account was hacked and the hacker just took payment and provide fake tracking number. Paypal eventually refunded me (after 3 weeks). So I was hesitant. But pulled the trigger on this as I been looking for a PF max. As of today, the tracking number given seem legit, it shows the package has left the originating city and moving through the system. The seller can still send me a brick, but at least the tracking number is legit. One more problem for this KO, the arm armor is not TV version.

MY PO at NY was placed on Oct 4th. Still no news. Will just wait patiently.

That is a close call. Luckily no non fixable damages. I need to learn from your lesson. My 3 metal build toys are not "very secured". Need to change that tonight. I have no cat, but two young children. Very risky to not factor in unforeseen accident.
-
I paid about the same at NY, but there is no news about shipping. They do take their time.

Mine had a broken bazooka handle. Given how they package this, it is pure luck that not more parts are borken. I have requested help from Show.z and they seems to be willing to try to request replacement from the producer. Given the situation over there, it will be a long long wait. But hopefully they will eventually send me a good bazooka. Meanwhile, my pined fix seems to looks ok.

This is where I get it from: https://item.taobao.com/item.htm?spm=a21wu.241046-us.4691948847.7.41cab6cbkQVe6O&scm=1007.15423.84311.100200300000005&id=581216915966&pvid=16cda37b-2497-4954-a539-98add2d55c4e

Glad it works well.

After I glued the thumb, the hands are much more manageable. Here are the crappy phone camera, poor lighting photo of the two latest arrival from Show.z:

Nice, looking forward to see photos of the complete package from you.

Found this one after digging deep: https://www.pavaykamall.com/poison-toys-172-scale-mechax103-hurricane-buster-gundam-figure-in-stock-p-474729.htm But it is likely a scam.

This also seems really nice: https://showzstore.com/poison-toys-gat-x103-hurricane-buster-gundam-1-72_p0502.html

I think I saw some new weapon (sword and launcher) pack for this. Would be nice to have a complete 1/72 perfect strike. Where did you get this? I search around a few days ago but can't find anything that does not cause over $300.
-
I need that! Not for the virus outbreak, but for when I receive my credit card statement after a few weeks of PO craziness.
-
Yup, enough OT. I have nothing paid in full no shipped now. So only risking $20 of PO money. So will wait and see.
-
No, I don't believe it. It is what the conspiracy theorist said now. Some had been quoting number in the 40K range. I laugh now because, these numbers are just pulled out from whoever's "back end". Show me proof I say before making any claims. Sometimes the damage from people panicking is worst than the actual harm of the cause of the panic itself.
-
There are lots of rumors going around now. Not sure what to believe. A few minutes ago, saw a report about air pollution index in Wuhan is sky-rocketing. The conspiracy theorist estimated the burning of 19,000 human body could be the cause of this. 19K people dies?

Thanks guys for the replies. I will be glueing mine as well, at least the thumbs.

The sinanju from Show.z landed. Shipping took a bit under 3 weeks. The item packaging is really bad (Show.Z packaging of the boxes was good). Pieces are just wrapped in thin foam and thrown in the box. The swivel handle at the back of the bazooka was broken off. It was a minor miracle that this is the only major damage from the bad packaging. I end up adding a metal rod to pin the handle back on. The hands/firsts is a huge pain. The thumbs and four fingers piece kept falling off when I try to get it to hold a weapon. Gluing it permanently is also not an option, since it is not "flexible", I don't think I can fix the handle of any weapon in there once glued. Otherwise, I am very happy with this as it looks really good overall. The joints is a bit stiff, but it is preferable to loose joints. The hand joints can even hold the combined rifle/bazooka up with no problem (not for extended duration, just tested it for a few seconds). Need to find out the battery size and order some to test out the lighting effect.

My Shinanju has arrived at LA warehouse yesterday. I hope it will not stuck there for 10 days like your Motor Nuclear in NY. Why company did Showzstore use for their postage? The tracking shows CNE and I have no experience with them. Are they so bad that they often left item in warehouse for days on end?
