  1. Captain's crabs have spread to Australia. Thankfully they made it through quarantine. Thanks derex3592 Got any suggestions for the lavender color?

    Yamato 1/60 Regult

    The amazing thing about the Regult kit was that everything except for the transparent resin lights was made of HDP. I don't think it even required glue. If they used ABS and some diecast for the ratcheting/detentured joints it might have been fine.It would have been relatively cheap too seeing as it is no more complex than the Queadluun Rau. Possible releases could include the scout and light and heavy missile variants. DYRL color scheme, maybe... Otherwise it's probably just a matter of time until someone creates a 3D printable model...

    Yamato 1/60 Regult

    Nice work. That model needs separate parts to fit in the Regult anyway. Revoltech/Ball joints are the obvious way to go.

    Yamato 1/60 Regult

    No, the weak points are the ratchets in the legs. As Ignacio Ocamica said, they need reinforcing. It is possible to achieve a wide range of poses, but the slightest knock and it collapses downwards. Nice work IC. I like the clean look.
  5. Anime Export have good prices and ship fast, however after my last ordeal with them (involving a Masterbard chargeback) I won't be using them again. They require payment upfront and that shipping date is more than six months away, so I'll wait for HLJ, Amiami or HobbySearch to open their orders. Otherwise there are the Hong Kong dealers, which give you cheaper shipping and tend to include the Amazon extras and coins, if that's your thing.
  6. Okay, that was rather badly phrased... Can the cannon pivot or be positioned so that it rests just above the shoulder, instead of above the head/body as you had it positioned earlier photos? More like in these illustrations:
  7. Nice mock-ups Twoducks. Captain, is it possible to see a cannon positioned so it is sitting under the top head piece, instead of above it?
  8. And benefactors... Looking good Captain!
  9. Valve tend to like people who run with their ideas. I'm kinda sure you'll be able to use generic USB devices. I would much rather use a trackball than 'analogue' sticks for FPS games. I'm looking forward to seeing how this turns out.
  10. I haven't seen the movie, but I gather it doesn't follow the book much, if at all from the trailers I saw. The book is a series of interconnected interviews. There is one about a defecting Chinese nuclear sub that provides power to an island that many survivors that fled by water made it to.
  11. Not very. You are basically breaking an agreement you have with them. It varies on your excuse and how much business you've done with them.
  12. Very cool. Looking forward to seeing the Gamo to go with it.
  13. That's similar to the first reply I go too. When I asked for clarification on 'retroactive' I got:
  14. I'm not sure Black Friday Sales are that common in Japan, or anywhere outside the USA/Canada... I don't think you can cancel orders at any of the other stores anyway (except NY), not without warning or blacklist penalties anyway - not worth the hassles IMO. Maybe if you ordered with NY you could get them to price match HLJ... maybe...
  15. Order a discounted one first to make sure they still have stock. When you get the order confirmation email go into your account and edit your previous order, setting the quantity to 'CANCEL', then confirm - it will take about 15 minutes for the new order to show up in your account. EDIT: No worries Hope they don't blacklist me. I did this to my other Arcadia pre-orders too...
  16. HLJ's Black Friday Weekend Sale now has it at 26,568 JPY. 19% off. Given their cheaper shipping it makes it comparable to Big In Japan's price. Out with the old order, in with the new.
  17. Pretty sure next week will end on a cliff-hanger face off. The Gov and Michonne have unfinished business after all. One of them has to go.
