Ghost in the Shell Live Action - March 31, 2017
mechaninac replied to Mechinyun's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
Actually, now that I get a better look, it looks far more like a 1st gen Esprit... very angular. -

2nd gen Lotus Esprit? -
Annnnnnnnd.... sold out!

6000 yen, store front item, VF-1J Hikaru at mandarake... http://order.mandarake.co.jp/order/detailPage/item?itemCode=1053720901&ref=list

Figinstock to the rescue. Checked my email and there it was, clicked on the link and was able to secure a copy... email confirmation received and everything. Now I feel I can place an order for Millia's with N-Y too.

¥14,800 + S&H for a 5.7in tall mecha figure?... I want a drag off whatever Alter is smoking...
-
Got the FigInStock email alert for the 31J this morning and was all excited... but at full retail -- not even a measly 5% preorder descount -- they can keep it. I'll keep an eye open for N-Y instead.
-
Curious about how ET handles MOSPEADA? Sure, but after what they did with the VF-2SS, my curiosity is more of the morbid variety...
-
Preorder placed and, more importantly, confirmed. Thanks for the heads-up. Edit: Looks like I got one of, if not the, last one of this availability batch as it's now listed as Order Stop again.

1000 ft???... That's 29.5 atmospheres (Yes, I did look that up... ); That's nuts, awesome but nuts... awesomely nuts?.. .. Deep sea commercial divers take note, the wristwatch of your dreams is about to be made real. Thanks for the props, but you did all the groundwork, I just translated it to 3D and had the 250 grow it; It was my pleasure to participate, even in a small way, in this project. How do the straps look next to the watch case? If you can get it to match the color of one those components to tie it all together, or alternatively offer a stark contrast to them as an intentional visual break (related in palette, but distinct and subdued) to drive the wearer's focus to the watch itself... could work.

Woohoo! N-Y has shipped my Hi-Metal R VF-1J Hikaru... now to wait 3 weeks for it to show up.
-
^ I sure hope the same holds true when the Max 1J comes out/is near release; I've yet to secure a preorder for that one.
-
That's coming together really nice. It looks super rugged... like it could survive a nuclear blast at ground zero, rugged.
-
Received "Preparation in progress" email from N-Y for the 1J Hikaru already...

Your most recent Macross or toy purchase! General thread.
mechaninac replied to Gakken85's topic in Hall Of The Super Topics
Another AutoArt, Kyosho fan here, and Minichamps too. I haven't bought any 1:18 die cast stuff in a long time due to just how expensive they've gotten over the last few years... much like Macross related merchandise, prohibitively so. The one item that will cause me to lose my resolve, that I'm actually eagerly waiting for, is AutoArt's 1/18 version of McLaren's P1 in Volcano Orange; I have their F1, in Platinum Silver, and MP4-12C, in Orange -- both superb. -
Bandai Hi-Metal R: Dougram series
mechaninac replied to treatment's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
^ Possibly, but the biggest difference -- for those to whom such things are a deciding factor, like myself -- is that NY gives you a Pay Later option for this item; whereas, AE demands upfront payment with shipping calculated upon release. In addition, NY gives you the choice of invoicing in your currency of choice, which may come in handy if PayPal Credit is desired (an extra 6 months to pay on purchases over $99). -

Over 2.5 hours after placing a preorder with HLJ and still no confirmation email... now expecting to get a cancellation one, instead.
-
I guess I was able to secure one with HLJ, after 2 "Sorry, link not found" errors, as I got the "Thank You! We've got your order" page, but no email confirmation yet... fingers crossed.
-
That's a V1. No stand adapters if I'm not mistaken.
-
There is a way to pay up to 6 months later, or in small installments, interest free if you order from NY and are willing to select USD as the currency and PayPal Credit as the payment option; must be a minimum of $99.00 to qualify. If you do this you'll end up paying a bit more than if you select to pay in Yen, but it may be worth it for the extra time and flexibility to pay [Ex: 1 VF-1J Millia with JP Eco Post, as of today. is $120.31 with up to 6 months to pay with PayPal Credit; the same item with the same delivery choice is 11140 Yen -- app. $108.93 + exchange fee (1% if bank or balance funded @ PayPal = $110.02, or 1%+3.9% if credit/debit card funded @ PayPal = $114.27)].

STAR WARS Merchandise Episode - 2
mechaninac replied to Black Valkyrie's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
It's an AT-ACT, so... That orange brick does look incredibly out of place, though. -
^ The one DX 31 from Delta I insist on getting come hell or high water is the VF-31A; I'm ambivalent at best on all the others.

Make it Miria @ 1/12 and you've piqued my interest...
