  1. Damn where can i find that megahouse yamato?
  2. Best hope is that Discotek will pick it up one day.
  3. Wow wasnt expecting this. I just got the miraclehouse version last year. Hopefully they'll do the orginal blue Arcadia too.The Turn A Gundam in the background looks sweet too. Anyone have any info on it? Im assuming its a model?
  4. No news on the the 4 reissues this year?
  5. Mine came in. Got hit with a $37.50 customs charge. Fu~~~~~
  6. I haven't been paying attention to the 4th movie news. Are they seriously making Ultra Magnus the villain?
  7. HELL YEAH!! What's the hold up Bandai?
  8. Or more in this case.... http://www.nippon-yasan.com/lang-en/macross/3606-choujikuu-yousai-macross-vf-4g-lightning-iii-limited-edition.html
  9. Yeah it's finally starting to get good. Hopefully it continues.
  10. That's good to hear. The Soul of Popynica version requires you to cut certain pieces (mostly everything that stick out of the main hall) out of spruces. I was really disappointed with that. Hate cutting stuff out of spruces for a non-model. With a model at least you can sand it down and paint over it. There's a Starblazers version? How much is it? Where do you get it?
  11. When i first started this hobby back in 2008 i use to get hit hard by customs. Lately (last couple of years) i've rarely been hit by custom fees. I'm not sure why. It seems pretty random and arbitrary. Some observations i've noticed: -Using EMS seems to mostly avoid custom fees. It does happen but rarely compared to other shipping options. -Conversely when someone ships to me using UPS i get hit hard by customs. UPS will usually invoice me for a handling fee as well (WTF!). Fed-ex is the same as well. -Never pay customs fees from Nippon Yassen (probably because they declare lower value).
  12. Jealous for all the people that have Japanese contacts.
  13. What are you Bleghing about?
  14. I believe the 17s had a second batch release and the 17D didn't which means there were way more !7s's in the wild than the Ds. Same reason why the vf-19f is not as cheap is as the VF-19s.
  15. It was easy to get after release at places like mandrake and jungle. I know cuz I was cursing at myself for paying that much every time I saw one.
  16. NY markup hit its peak with the fokker yf-29 which went for $300 which i stupidly paid. It was bandai's first non canon paint scheme and we thought it'd be the low viz of the bandai valks. Unfortunately its one of the easiest bandai valks to get at reasonable price. NY must have got burned because prices never got that bad again for preorders.
  17. Minecin still in route to me. I live in canada and t cost me $285 can. Can anyone tell me if you have to cut parts out of sprues on this thing like the old soul of popyicon version? I really hope not. I can never cut them out good.
  18. I paid that but not gladly. It looks like April and May are going to be expensive months again this year. The YF-19 and vf-25a superparts in April. And the Yf-29 ozma plus isamu super parts in May.
  19. Got it though not happy on the $25 dollar jump. The NY scalping is getting tiresome.
  20. Does the watch list on Amiami actually do anything, like email you when it's back in stock. Never heard anything for the stuff i've added to it.
  21. I'd be interested in one depending how the drilling is like (i'm not good at stuff like that).
