    He builds somewhat to order plus a number of extras- no PO madness or anything like Bandai. For example, the 1/100 Breetai from a few years ago is still available on the website. https://www.meptoys.com/product-page/6-zentradi-commander-breetai

    Yeah, I ordered earlier in May, but had them ship DHL in August last year.

    Weird, Jungle shipped DHL for me no problem.

    Assuming that will be the same time given MEP's previous statements but no formal announcement yet (though they have a placeholder on the preorders page for it): https://www.meptoys.com/pre-orders

    Looks like MEP is putting up preorders for the Scout/ligaa later this month. $45 I know the Robowreck label will kill some interest, but I'll likely get a couple to put with my Sentinel legioss.

    I'd buy it- off someone's dollar tablre at a flea market. No way I'm paying more than that for those terrible figures. I don't know how anyone can pay those prices, but then I don't understand the appeal of Funko bobbleheads either.

    @sqidd isn't a SD fan; otherwise he'd have them!

    Not really. The post office can deliver stuff cheaper than FedEx or UPS, offers better tracking than UPS does (UPS is so shitty with their tracking that I'll have something sent from California and won't know for sure where it is until I get an "out for delivery" notice). Only reason the USPS had issues has been the budget pressures from requiring them to fund pensions for workers that aren't even born yet. Government operates best when market failures remove the ability for the market to operate properly. Hell, if we left it to the market, most rural areas of the US wouldn't have phone or mail service, let alone the internet. (This sort of talk always brings the economist in me out).

    Ask and ye shall receive.

    Cool- I was curious because of the split up the middle and didn't have an immediate reference to Cap's version (which I would still love to have but I'm so shitty at painting and model making that I'd be embarased to destroy his beautiful kits).
  11. vladykins
    I'd definitely prefer @tekering's version. Is that Cap's?

    Your options are mostly limited until Japan Post kicks fully back into gear, so expect to pay something like $50-60 for DHL or FedEx, if not more.

    Got some goodies shipped in from Japan today, including one of my grail items, a Yamato Virgin Road that @Shawn put me on to. The bottom four are all Tsukuda games I got great prices on. And here is a quick picture with my 1/60s together, though my overhead light makes it difficult to get a good picture right now:

    What do the Robotech LAM and Flat Earth Theory have in common? True believers who can't be convinced otherwise

    Are you saying that Live Action Movie is just lies? Sorry, I couldn't keep a straight face saying that.
  16. vladykins
    Oh, I know for sure. I never got the Macross saga version because I felt I had most of that stuff covered already in Perfect Memory and a few other sources. I will say that I only spent like $30 on this and it is a hardcover, so I'm not complaining too much. I spent more than that when shipping was factored in to get the newer Mospeada mook for essentially the few pages of Genesis Breakers stuff.

    They do a page they say is "previously unpublished" (but I'm not so sure about that) of the Auroran transformation sequences. But that's probably the most love it gets.

    Here's a few quick shots from the book taken with my phone quickly, but if someone wanted to look at things more specifically, I can scan something. My copy of the Imai files doesn't have the details on these two factions, but I'm sure someone else's does: Most of the army groupings have a page similar to this: In terms of my issues with the presentation of the bioroids, first they note the blue "soldier" bioroid: On the next page, no explanation at all, they show this later stage bioroid: Similarly, they have the green "sub-commander" but have Seifrit's ted "commander" on the page opposite: But then separately list the red "commander" bioroid: They then display the "armored/invid fighter": The book then goes into the hoversled, the Zor/Tyrolian ships (transport, cruiser, mothership, dropship) and then suddenly goes back to "miscellaneous mecha" and starts popping out more bioroids: The organization is just all over the place.

    I grabbed a copy and it contained some of the Imai Files stuff reproduced (crediting Robert Harkavy). I'm taking a quick look through again since I inly flipped through (my current bathroom reading being Sandy Petersen's 5E Cthulhu Mythos adaption book). Some of the things I hoped they might have dug out more info on (like the fleet ships) was lacking. They also did some bizarre things with the bioroids instead of listing them in early/mid/later. I'll take some shots and post them up to show what I mean in a bit.

    The MEPTOYS ones are going to be finished products (painted and all). COVID pushed the release of the scout/Iigaa and so apparently MEP is waiting to build and release the ligaa, shocktrooper/gurab, and the hellcat inorganic at the same time. Cap's stuff is DIY models which look fantastic but beyond my ability to make look that fantastic.
  21. vladykins
    Ha, Nice find, Shawn!
  22. vladykins
    Got a notice on this: https://www.bigbadtoystore.com/Product/VariationDetails/162832 While I don't want this particular item, this might bode well for Macross goodies being available in the US beyond just the series themselves.
  23. vladykins
    I'll probably end up with both.
  24. vladykins
    Mine was boxed. I thought I had a picture of my unboxing but I'm not finding it. Definitely wasn't in a bag.
  25. vladykins
    Love that low-vis. Mine was pretty solid as well!
