Got my super packs today. But them on in battroid mode. I have to say in terms of fitting these are probably the best super packs yet (except maybe the 29's pack but there's not much to them. Usually putting on bandai super packs there is a lot of swearing and pieces dropping to the floor. Not this time.
-
What? Really? That's disappointing.
-
That surprises me. There seems to be too many idiots bidding past when they should or bidding way too early driving the price up right away. I will admit that there is a lot of sellers that are brave enough to list their auction really low but these bidders are just ridiculous. Also is there a trick to searching other buyee. Everything I try doesn't come up with anything. I usually have to browse the makoursu category.
-
Well I gave yahoo auctions a try through buyee. Apparently they have the same stupid bidders as eBay has. Thought I might be able to get some broken valks or valks with missing pecies at a reasonable price. Unfortunately those auctions all went for close to Msrp or higher(?)! Bid on like 20 auctions and didn't win any.
-
Those armour sets for the vf25 are going to sell like crazy. it's a crime that you can't get these sets after the initial order even when the valk has been reissued. Along with the Alto 29 super parts set, I'm not surprised these are getting KOed. They are all demanding insane after market prices. Its a shame bandai penalizes people who are late to collecting a series. Serves them right for leaving money on the table.

Gundam Figure Thread - Newtype GN-002
Sandman replied to Black Valkyrie's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
So what is the next metal build coming out? I don't want to miss out this time. -
Well I just got invoiced extra shipping cost from ny for my second set super parts set. I got invoiced the same amount as my other set which was sent ems (this one was sal). What irritates me is this sat 5 days since they charged me for my first set. My order both went in preparedness in progress at the same time. I wonder how long they will wait to ship now. I'm already delayed a week from getting it.
-
Weird that they put such great foresight in the 31 design but not the sv-262.

Gundam Figure Thread - Newtype GN-002
Sandman replied to Black Valkyrie's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
Bought the rx-93 NuGundam robot spirits at hobby search which was on sale for almost half off on the 17th. I received it on the 19th. Amazing! I don't even know how that is possible. First time buying anything from hobby search too. -
Hmm that's a good point. But still it seems weird they'd try to push another half human half Vulcan who is connected to Sarek in someway.
-
I haven't decided yet. I haven't preorder any yet. I figure I want two at least. Probably three if I can get the cash together. So much other things to buys as well.
-
I'm so jealous. I only could afford to get 3 which i haven't received one yet. One in hlj pw and 2 in route with super slow shipping (was a tight month). Hopefully one will reach me soon.
-
They'll probably release Arads 31 in dec.
-
I used Celga a lot a long time ago like early 2000s. They were pretty good. I don't remember the process anymore but everything was done through email. That probably has changed now. I might have to look them up.
-
I'd take it but i wouldn't be able to pay for it right away.
-
I was asked to pay for the ems shipment. The sal was sal registered.
-
I have two super parts on order from N-Y. One with ems and the other sal. I've only gotten one invoice for an extra $5 US, so far.
-
Oh crap. Haven't had a chance to order one yet. Don't have the cash by that date either.
-
Oh forgot about those. Yeah I wonder when n-y will ship those out. Probably 2 weeks from now.
-
Yeah i don't think the 1/48s came with attachment pieces if memory serves so they would need those attachment pieces included with the stand.
-
Are you talking about the discovery trailer or the Seth McFarlane thing?
-
I found this pic at the official star trek website. You can see that for Discovery they are still using that old Ralph McQuarrie design as a basis so the ship in the trailer is definitely not discovery.
-
That isn't the Discovery in the trailer. That's the Shenzou(sp), Michelle Yeoh's ship. The Discovery is captained by that guy from OA. Can't remember his name at the moment. They are still holding back from showing a lot of stuff. my impressions: I think it's filmed beautifully but I think it was a mistake to make this 10 years prior to Kirk. It simply doesn't match up design or continuity wise. I really hope those are different type of Klingons rather than a redesign of the current Klingons. It would be better for this to take place in a different time period or just be a remake like it wants to be.

In my cases it was damaged boxes and styrofoam but i can't see it being any different for the melted tray. I always say to them that i know it's silly to complain about the packaging but the expectation when these are bought (for me at least, probably others as well) is that the package needs to be reasonably intact/not damaged in case i want to resell it someday. If the package is damaged before i get it (unless i was aware of it) i'm right away losing value of what i bought. That's why i was pissed when n-y would do anything for me on my vf-25g renewal arrived with a puncture hole all the way through the box and styrofoam. If i decide to resell it i'm going to have to discount it. That's what sucks about buying online. In a store i can at least inspect a package somewhat before i make the decision to buy. I would never choose a valk with a damaged box (unless discounted). I don't think online retailers should ignore these issues. They are just lucky there aren't many other options to shop elsewhere.
-
Yeah but the valks come with the adapters so i'm not sure why the stand needs them included. The question is do they come with the adapters the stand originally came with, for the valks that didn't have the adapters included.
