Oof!

An evil person got me re-interested in 1:18 cars again.

A saving grace is I dug out some I have had for 15-20yrs that I don't care about at all and a few of them are worth $$$$$$. So I sold them.

One of many inbound. It's almost impossible to get the General without chrome wheels (which they never were on the show).

Stupid doors won't open though.

As you can see this repressed childhood obsession becomes a problem when you grow up and get a good job and an adult bank account. This all could have been prevented had my parents just bought me the gundam stuff I wanted instead of forcing that lame Star Wars crap on me lol

 

Who am I kidding. I'll watch it..........when it's streaming. 

The correct answer for #13 is:

Please produce the Hi Metal R Tomahawk. Please produce a 1/3000 SDFM SDF-1. Please produce a DX YF-21.

I'm pretty close if you don't count all the recolors/repackaging... I gave up on that long time ago. Also not counting the Mazinger MBs, no interest in those. I do have all the FMP and Evangelion releases tho. I think thus far the only one I don't have is the Strike Ootori which is yet to be released and the Astrea High Maneuver pack which is way overpriced for what it is, particularly since I already have 2 Avalung OP sets. Everything else I have at least one version/combo of, sometimes two or more (looking at you Strike). 

Do you guys have them all displayed? What's that look like?

No kids..........the only mistake I didn't make.

I will try that and hope the bottom tap will hold will hold the pieces together.

I'd be really surprised if it didn't.

Is there anyone on here that has all of the MB's? Is that even possible?

The analogy I like to use for GOT is this:

GOT is like a fantastic whirlwind love affair that went on for 6 years. The 7th year was a little off and in retrospect you should have seen what was going on. 8yrs in you find out that this smokin hot woman that you are madly in love with has been cheating on you for two years. With the dumb kid that works at Starbucks. No matter how good the first 6-7yrs were you can't see or feel that anymore. It was ruined.

On the subject of Star Wars.......I was never as invested as I was in GOT so I didn't feel the betrayal when the movies took a big steamy dump..........Remember when the prequels were thought of as the bad ones?

well, what a lousy day to receive something so awesome that turned out to be a let down. I have sent a ticket to okiniland and if a replacement is not possible, I will have to operate on it. very tempted to order another one and if the same thing happens again, that will be case no.2

 

If it was me I'd cut the tab off the wrong sided part and put the armor together (I think the bottom tab is the same on both). The leg armors are SOLID. I don't think you will even notice. That way you can at least dress it up and put it on display while thing are getting handled.

I wonder if this is just an issue with the Combo pack......

 

 

A defect/QC problem has to happen more than once to be "an issue".

Blitzway has a very promising Voltron coming, but I'm fairly content with my SoC Voltron that matches nicely with my other SoC Voltron and not looking to drop $600-$700 on another.  But, y'know, more power to the people that do.

I agree. I’m good with my SoC

I've got a SOC with the aftermarket thighs and I love it. Fantastic Voltron. I hope I don't regret PO'ing the Blitzway. I PO'd it through BBTS though. The reviews will be out before I have to pony up. I can cancel and lose my $70 deposit. Better than having a $700 toy I don't like anymore than the SOC though.

Back when I was young and it wasn’t considered a racist icon, I watched that show and every time my dad would remind me that the doors didn’t open

I had a 1982 Mustang LX 5.0 that I bought in 1990 I think that had 130,000mi on it already. So of course I put a big shot of nitrous on it and slick and took it to the drag strip. I twisted the body so bad the doors wouldn't shut right anymore. I bent everything back into place and removed the door mechanisms and windows. It eventually got a roll bar and did a lot of good old school Detroit street racing. Ahhhhhh, to be young and dumb again.

Right arm on my VF-1 can't stay forward and parallel to the ground  with gunpod or just in arm armor, right arm little tighter

Get some of this. It's magic.

I've never watched any Gundam in my life (I'm assuming that's what this is) but I've always loved the mecha designs.  This one is incredible.  I've seen other metal build kits that also looked badass.  I've been really tempted.

It's Gundam-e, but not a Gundam. I don't think it has a tie in with a show/movie.

Right but not too bad of a markup from some of those retailers.  I only paid around $30 USD more than what the pre-orders were going for so I can't complain.

We're still not sure he's talking about the GBP. Kinda makes it hard to give a smart reply to the OP.

Not entirely sure if it's the cost of the bundle or that many people went just for the standalone armor set, but these Combo packs are pretty damn easy to get near MSRP

Same for the Roy release. Maybe the new world economy is hurting scalpers margins?

Actually, there's no need to specify, 'cause every DX VF-1 release to date has sold out.  Regardless of what Valkyrie (or accessory set) you're after, the secondary market is your only option.

Good point. They are all sold out at retail.

But some retailers do have new units still in stock (at above retail pricing). Then there is the secondary market where everything is available for quite a bit more money.

You're going to need to be more specific. Is what sold out?
