I think I'm going to create a few posts for fun like this one. How about: "Have M&M V2 set, am selling cheap to move them fast, will post in a minute . . ." and "Found a pile of original Macross cels, up for grabs for a buck a piece, will post pics today . . ." ______ Awww - let's cut some slack here though - it will be worth the build up!

It looks incredible - don't mind me! I was probably just trying to make myself feel better cuz I don't have one : /

On the custom 1J -- Looks amazing. But the panel line right behind the face visor needs just a touch of clean up to make it as thin and precise as the rest of the body. ( ducks as tomatoes are hurled his way . . . ) Its awesome as-is though too, obviously . . .

Drat. The Fewture Garland and now this. Its too 80s to pass up . . . ( even if it was the early 90s )

Absolutely - let me look for all the materials tonight and Ill pm u this week...

Took some pics today. Had a heck of a time getting him back into Orgroid after being in Flier. Still impressed. VERY stable. Floppy hip joints only bother me when I'm trying to change modes. Standing or posing had zero issues. Tabs locked solidly down in Flier. Pretty tight to whoosh around. No landing gear so it has to go on the stand . . .
-
Somebody do a poll - if I get over 50 orders I will crank it back up again. Still the same price: $9 each, or 3 for $21 - FREE SHIPPING
-
Yoiks! These are well worth the price IMO . . . http://www.bigbadtoystore.com/bbts/product.aspx?product=BAN16057&mode=retail
-
Yes - very much so. But it does not affect how stable it stands, or anything else I've noticed so far...

Took it to GERWALK mode. Looks great. Tabs in forearms needed to lock tighter to the underbelly. Already in the habit of holding the arms against the belly to make sure they stay in. Outer calf armor should have have a small swing bar lock down mechanism. That fact that they compromised on this for tank mode, my least favorite, makes it even more annoying. Now that I see GERWALK, I'm OK with the painted green back bulb. A huge clear / green plastic dome would have competed with the cockpit too much. Really like the two-tone brown metallic on the feet. I see it in the middle of the engine intakes too. My GERWALK legs came out even on each side. Lots of die-cast IMO. Its hard to KEEP IT FROM standing up. Just set it down any old way and its stable. My first try at the stand made me think this figure is too hefty for that spindly stand. Anyone walks in the room and he'll be hobbling too and fro - for a while. I'll try to take some pics next week. So far, I'd give this a 8.8 to 9.1 rating all around . . . Better paint apps, better click-ins to solidify the modes would have helped.

Well - I need funds, but not sure I want to start those up again. The masses will have to talk me into it . . .

Keeping all those shelves BLANK instead of putting at at least one thing in each, will certainly drive you to finish your collection! I'll bet you look at the shelves with nothing and imagine what SHOULD be there much more than the shelves with content . . .
-
Yep - slight gap on those. Paint mistakes along the front off the thighs. Paint mistakes on the front of the shoulders. The gun is beautiful. The green on the eyes and gun sight, with clear green over silver foil - is awesome - and they should have done the knees and back bulb that way too. Just took deep breath and forced the double elbow joint to bend - phew. Cockpit paint looks OK so far, not as messed up as the other photo we saw . . .
-
Looking it over now. Still like the size, and the heft. Feels high quality. Lots of little paint mistakes on mine though . . .

Anyone with white-visor issues, just use Gundam paint marker GM32 200 Takes 2 minutes...

Oooo - box in hand. I want to say this is the nicest box since the Toynami MPCs. Its not just matt finish, it a modeled paper board with excellent printing. Feels like the best of old school packaging, and new school boxes - combined. Wish they didn't have to tape it closed! Love the magnetic flap. -- Figure is GREAT size IMO --- not too small at all. Nervous to open it. As of right now I'm actually happy, don't want that to change . . .

More unboxing . . . http://www.hobbylink.tv/variable-action-hi-spec-orguss-by-mega-house-part-2-review

Well that's a good sign they're sold out then - maybe we'll see Olsen after all . . .

Am I seeing this right? Did Amiami already drop the price from 37,000 to 29,000 and sell them out? http://www.amiami.jp/top/detail/detail?gcode=FIGURE-009394&page=top%2Fsearch%2Flist%3Fs_keywords%3Dオーガス%24pagemax%3D40%24getcnt%3D0%24pagecnt%3D1&affid=vc

I picked up this Megahouse SD Dunbine only because it was 99 cents on eBay. (hate sd stuff really) Its a $60 to $80 fig listed everywhere else. From the packaging to extras and look and feel - all pretty top notch. Some of the joints were a little floppy, and by the sounds of the Orguss its following suit. Seems like Megahouse / Bandai has stepped it up a notch from their Mospeada ride-armor figs (that I've long sold off by now). They just need to get tight, clicky joints across the board . . .

1/24 GRIFFON has a bidder at 50,000 - would be cool to display next to the Yamatos! https://www.rinkya.com/en/auction-u76787585
