    was this note on their webpage or sent via email or was it in the shipping box(es)? mine went straight into storage so i don't know if i should open it up and get that note in case i need it for claiming the figure come release day.

    anyone here from PH who also ordered this from the KidsLogic store? was it shipped via fedex and were you taxed? been busy and just saw KL email from last month notifying they are ready to ship my order via fedex.

    was watching S;G Zero ep.8 when a massive thunderclap from out of nowhere shook my windows, just when Kurisu sent a D-mail. did the worldline change? have to investigate. El. Psy. Kongroo.

    using Synology DS413 a bit over 5 years. 1 drive (disk#2, 2 years on previous NAS, a DS211) failed after 2 years on the DS413 (so, 4 yrs service life). rebuild went without a hitch. 2nd drive (disk#1, also from previous NAS) went on the 3rd year of the DS413 (5 yrs service life). again, rebuild was seamless. then on the 5th year of the DS413, one of the original drives of the DS413 (disk#4) failed after 5 yrs service, then during the rebuild, another drive, disk#2 which i replaced 3 yrs earlier, developed bad sectors that couldn't be read and caused the volume rebuild to fail. had i been using RAID6 (double fault tolerance), which was one of the options presented to me during setup, the rebuild would've still completed. but the extra capacity of my 2 newer drives (5 TB each) would've gone to waste. volume size would just be 2 x 3TB (older drives) = 6TB but i got greedy and chose SHR (Synology Hybrid Raid) which optimized volume size to ~8TB at the start , and growing to ~12TB as i replaced the smaller drives to the same capacity as the bigger drives. SHR only has single fault tolerance. fortunately i was still able to access the NAS and backed up to a bunch of portable drives. in the end, less than 10GB was lost due to the unreadable bad sectors. i still haven't gotten around to rebuilding my NAS since i got super busy, and i figured i should just upgrade to a DS418play this summer. what i learned: go for double fault tolerance especially when using very big drives. if at all possible, resist the temptation of >6TB drives. they'll take forever to rebuild and will really test your luck, even with double fault tolerance. might be better just getting a second NAS unit for expansion.

    was the Arcadia Altira island available at any of the WF tables? or has anyone seen it pop up recently on YJA? still looking for one.

    i've ordered all three (combattler dx, PF SDF-1, arcadia garland) considering the size, engineering, diecast, electronics, accessories; the combattler looks like a bargain compared to other two. and i'm not even a fan of combattler.

    any indications if this is selling well or not?
  20. Major Focker
    here: http://www.pavilion-kl.com/viewstore/Toy-Garden the shopowner did mention that they had some more stock off-site, so either call in advance or go in the morning and if they don't have stock in-store, they may be able to get one for you while you have lunch

    this is just a recolor of this, right? but now they're calling the blue one in 1/20 scale?

    chanced upon a PG Falcon in KL last week, in an upscale mall of all places. worked out to under $400. not bad , and i don't need to worry about shipping and import taxes. too big for my luggage, but good thing it has its own brown shipping box. had the airline staff plaster it with FRAGILE stickers and checked it in. happily, it survived the trip home with nary a dent in the box.

    utterly disappointed how come they were able to make WW with seamless joints? guess i'll just have to wait for her Valkyrie version. wonder if HT can make light up human eyes?
  24. Major Focker
    the straps on her thighs are so tight i'm surprised only the wings and horns have turned purple..

    couldn't agree with you more. what a wonderful story! i'm on the TV series now, which has a very gentle pace. glad i watched the OVA first as a sort of intro into what to expect.
