thanks guys. i'm partial to the movie version. fingers crossed it gets produced, because the garage kits are priced such that one wouldn't even consider a pair, let alone army build.

What's the future of this site?
Major Focker replied to Darkwater's topic in MW Site News & Member Feedback
same with me. and it's been like that for me since i joined well over a decade ago. that front page contributors frequently have to advertise on the threads to remind people to check the front page, suggests that for most of the membership it's the same way: dive straight into the forums. so not sure what is meant by "is that all this place is now?". perhaps to most of the community, it's always been this way. it's not just a message board either. there are tons of updates, contributions, discussions, debates (at times too much ), and content, regarding macross and whatnot. daily. just not on the front page. -
yeah. i'm tempted to add the orange one because of the pose. like she's presenting the next showcase on a gameshow. might be useful for cabinets with big display pieces.
-
sorry, i might've missed it. is there an N-Ger coming? did it get past teh fan polls?
-
now that's an idea!
-
lol! you're right. that is NOT a gun. haven't taken her out of the box yet, so i wouldn't have known. here's another one that made me do a double-take:
-
all 1/4 ooh, i didn't know there was a 1/4 Hestia <writes on list> next to a 1/8 scale figure: sold out at the usual webstores, but still on amazon : Rina-Chan Gal Kanshu seems to be +50% now on ebay
-
thanks, but i'm not paying those prices. i do have 5 already from when the POs came out, but wanted a few more for customs. i really thought they were going to release 2-mode sets down the line so held off buying more then. wrong call <slaps forehead>
-
doesn't seem to be size either. i use PW so my shipments tend to be very big boxes, and would contain high value items. doesn't seem to be country based either as i've had packages shipped to 3 different countries, all on SAL. my big and high value single purchases have also shipped via SAL, though they did enter PW first and i later decided to ship them on their own, usually because grouping the smaller items into one box results into lower SAL fees than if i group them with already big items. that these high value and/or big items first enter PW, might be the workaround i inadvertently stumbled on. granted, at some point SAL can be 20% more expensive than the EMS option, but i avoid EMS like the plague. particularly where i am now, EMS super sucks. i would happily pay the SAL premium rather than wasting 2-3 hours roundtrip driving to the EMS pickup/clearing house, and another 2-3 hours waiting in line for them to retrieve/process it.
-
that, she is. missed the PO, but fortunately a local store had spares. what surprises me about 1/4 figures, is that they are often even cheaper than some GSC or Alter releases in 1/7. the blue bunny girl for example, can be had for less than $100.
-
i'm wondering that myself, and getting a tad worried too about the space requirements. it didn't seem that big here:
-
while i'm aware of this policy, for some reason it was never applied to me. all my HLJ shipments were SAL for the past decade. scoured Akiba and Nakano a couple of weeks ago. not a single 31A to be found.

What Current Anime Are You Watching Version v4.0
Major Focker replied to wolfx's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
Konosuba's animation quality took a dive this second season, but remained funny as heck. enjoying Fuuka, despite the (valid) negative reviews. for a music themed anime, the music is pretty sparse. they just keep recycling the OP. but it's a song i really like. liked first few episodes of 3gatsu. saving it for a marathon. Akiba's Trip is good for mindless fun. Masamune was also that, until things got more serious (and admittedly, interesting) on ep8. Kobayashi and Youjo Senki are my favorite new shows this season. and finally watched the 2nd Arpeggio movie. that was great! -
more like 1/4, i think. love the face. wish she had more clothes on though (as duh as that might sound). much as i try to draw the line at 1/6, i keep failing miserably. my first 1/4 figures:
-
oops, my hand slipped.
-
and the remastered one does not include english subtitles. bummer
-
has there been any news if Arcadia wll re-offer the Altira Island display base for the mini SDF-1? i'll be in Tokyo next week and contemplating whether i should extend my stay until Wonfes on Sunday
-
got another one on hlj
-
wow, i actually got one in. first got server error, but instead of refresh i hit the back button and clicked on the PO button again and it hung there for like an eternity. while waiting i clicked PO for Spartan and that seem to have jerked the system out of the hang loop. i'm still in shock
-
thanks! the hunt is on! anyone want to sell a set, please PM.
-
i came across this while image surfing. anyone recognize what product line/ manufacturer this Regult is from? i'm actually more interested in the Monster, which seems to be a 5-piece thing, so presumably this gashapon set has a Monster part with each of the 5 Macross vehicles in the set. any info appreciated. thanks

-

so in that ToySoul event this weekend, are they actually going to have the cockpits available for sale? or they'll just take pre-orders? any members going to that event?
