Any ideas on how to tighten it?

KiKi joint tightner. I've tightened up old junky never been tight 1/55 Chinese knock offs with this stuff. It's fantastic.

The General showed up today. I'm a little ticked Auto World cheaped out and the doors don't open.

Is anyone else anal like me and carefully peels the sticker seals off, and also tries to remove the glue residue? 

 

No, you're a psycho.

Amiami finally sent me the payment link after another email for any other members who are still waiting. Now just wait for them to ship. With this I am finally done with this line. Hikaru's 1S, Roy's 1S and this 1J armoured is a good way to say goodbye to this line.  😄

You'll be back.

All that work and the scaling is wrong. The Zentradi is closer to 7m.

Shipped a combo pack and stand alone armor parts from AE. $115 via economy; I think it was a touch spendy 🤑 

Yikes!

Unfortunately, the "32k" yen pricing for the Armored-VF1J DX only seems to be avaialble for the local japanese market. 

I saw a couple that was avaialbe on their japanese-site, but not-available when I switched to their english-site.

Same japanese-market-only shenanigans seems to be similarly happening on Ami and Amzn-jp. 

 

 

 

 

 

IMO they should be taking care of their own people first. Membership has its privilege's.

I think the the solo DX 1J will drop in price (how much unknown) as the combo pack is now out. 

Makes sense. Maybe. That is unless the ones with the combo pack all get used for GBP which would make the net supply the same.

If someone wanted some 1J's now would be the time. Buy combo packs and sell the armor.

Uh Oh! My combo pack ordered from Luna Park was just scanned as delivered by DHL...in the wrong state! I live in Michigan, my tracking updated as "delivered" in Washington DC. Wth. Order # 10972.

That sucks.😲

Oh nice! I have one of those on order. I usually don’t buy random stuff like that but it looked too good and the preview promo videos they had sold me. 

It's THAT good. You're going to love it.

Moshow knocking another one out of the park.

Holy craptastic this thing a LOT of figure! Especially for the money!

This is how big and nice Metal Builds should be IMO.

Because I've had orders for bigger items ship from DHL for cheaper.

It comes down to Anime-Export being a smaller store and not having the same cushy volume discount contracts like HLJ / Amazon / etc have

So, cheap isn't good enough because it's not super cheap? Gotcha.

I don't understand why most of you think that $70ish is a lot for shipping something to the other side of the planet in 2.3 days. With my UPS corporate account with a healthy discount it costs me $30 to send the same size package from MI to CA and it takes 4-5 days.

DHL is cheap.

Man oh man, finding a good (or any) 1:18 KITT for under $300 seems impossible.

There's a preorder available for the Bandai Chogokin GX-71 Voltron Reissue at BBTS. It'll release soon.

It's sold out.

There is about to be a glut of used SOC's soon anyway. If I was looking for a SOC I would wait.

I wish these didn't go for $650!

What would you guys say are the top three quality 1:18 Lambo Countach's?

I think you're not in luck, part of the discussion of the settlement is how happy everyone is to get back to all the projects they have planned together.

I always take everything I see reported in the press at face value too.

What do you call a movie you enjoyed watching, but it was still kinda crap and gets worse the more you think about it? Yet you don't hate it?

What ever word best represents that, that's what this movie is.

The word is "Meh".

They say she made $40MM from this lawsuit... so not so silly after all!

Hopefully she's black listed by the studios now. She's insufferable.

Er...no matter how you slice that, the "orange" is going to win here. Speaking of which: has anyone had any shipping issues here lately (especially with USPS)?

Yep, two lost packages.

  I don't have to totally get this Armor set, I have the older Yamato 1/48 one that I put a lot of work into weathering and applying @Anasazi37's amazing decals on - so this is a "nice to have" not a "must have".  

It's a must have IMO. I like the DX stuff more than the Yamato stuff, but not by a huge margin. If I had a 1/48 Yamato collection I would not be clamoring to replace it with DX's. I would have to be in the position to know for sure, but I don't think I would ditch a Yamato collection for a DX one. Especially if I had all of the Yamato 1/48's I wanted. That said, the difference between the Yamato GBP and the Bandai GP is pretty big. Again, IMO the Bandai is MUCH better. I can't think of one way that the Yamato is better.
