Getting Any Good Holiday Loot?

[anime52k8]

Macross DYRL 1/60 scale Super and Strike pack

HT 1/6 scale TDKR Bane

HT 1/6 scale TDKR Catwoman

HT 1/6 scale TDKR Batman

MP Soundwave

FOC Starscream

FOC Grimlock

All pre-ordered or reserved at the local hobby store.

That 3rd party Batman floodlight is here, though. I'll be collecting it next weekend.

I don't think stuff that isn't coming out til end of January/march count as holiday loot.

Which reminds me I don't have anything on preorder that's coming up for quite a while. I've also had zero luck tracking down an MP prime so the only thing I'm going to be getting before then end of the year will probably be that Kanu Unchou statue I ordered at the end of November that's been shipping for the past 3 weeks. In other words I'm getting nothing for Christmas.

Well, I guess it's just the Batman floodlight, then. I supposed that FOC Jazz counts too, since I just bought it last week.

Starting to worry about that super/strike pack, though. Still hasn't arrived at the hobby store.

BTW, if you're looking for a MP-10 Convoy, HLJ still has some in stock at 20% discount--saw it when I saw browsing the store yesterday.

VF17s and I'm looking high and low for a VF25g, got to remodel my office and display room. Should be wrapped up by the New Year.

Wish you all the best.

Well, if we're talking about stuff that we'll be opening on Christmas Day then the only thing I have in hand and wrapped up is the Maketoys Green Giant. All the others are all paid for and just waiting to be shipped. Happy holidays guys!

I want the US version. 1) because even with inflated TRU prices and CA sales tax it'll still be $50~$100 cheaper than buying the Japanese version, 2) because the colors on US MP prime are better, and 3) because I want the satisfaction of finding one in a physical store and buying it.

[Benson13]

I'm with Mike on this one. I love going to the store and picking up something awesome.

They do for me: it’s summer holiday where I live now

I've got a VF-4G, VF-17D with Super parts, a second VF-19F, VF-171 Super parts, VF-19P and a tan color destroid Tomahawk on the menu. No telling when they will arrive though.

[Lorindor]

Got an old Arii 1/6 Lynn Minmay PVC figure (the green dotted dress version) for myself a couple of days ago. Absolutely love it! A Yamato VF-19 Kai and VF-1 Super and Strike parts are also incoming.

I agree with what you said, except that the TRU's in Malaysia never stock MP's. It's either Takara MP's or nothing. Either way, good luck on your hunt, and merry Christmas!

VE-1 and 1/60 fast packs for me.

[MechTech]

I don't normally check out the toys much, but this looked fun! My wife's getting a new laptop and I'm getting lathed! I need a lathe so I can stop using my drill press and creaking my neck into weird positions. The children are getting Nabi tablets! - MT

[usagiz]

Got my VF-25g in the mail Sat. I was hoping my VF-19 Kai would make it today but oh well maybe Wednesday.

[Scream Man]

Well, i got myself a vf-19f to complete my emerald force, and then went insane and bought the yf-29 skull 1 version. So no more for me till i get asked to pay for the 19P

It's a pity that they never restock Scott, and there probably won't be any other cyclone figure coming up...maybe things will change after Love Live Alive or Shadow Rising get released, if ever.

I got the Masterpiece Rand on clearance at BBTS a while back. Found it difficult to transform at first but after a few transformations I found it very satisfying to do. DO NOT LOSE THE INSTRUCTIONS! c",)

Best holiday wishes to you and your families guys.

Some of the gifts I just got! Yay Christmas!

[anime52k8]

man Giant looks cool. I just wish it was a bit cheaper and available in 3 two packs like the yellow giant (having to buy all 6 in one box is just a bit too much money all at once).

I do have MP Thundercracker and he's awesome, regardless of what other people say about his color scheme.

Tell you what, I love this iPad (which I'm posting from) and yeah the retina display is amazing. Last year I got an AutoArt Lexus LFA (red) and I still have it displayed.

And Happy Holidays

Taken with new iPad camera..;-)

[Benson13]

Sweet. Looking forward to pics of all the loot you guys hauled in. I'll have mine up in a few days once it gets here.

Until then, anyone familiar with The Elf on the Shelf?

[anime52k8]

I just used an amazon gift card I got to buy a DC Bishoujo Wonder Woman statue, so I guess that counts for something. should be here Friday.

[Valkyrie Magnus]

Well I got my VF-19 Kai in the mail today wool hooo!

[Benson13]

It may not be my favorite valk by any means but damn that thing is well built.

[Kicker773]

pics next week...oyee

[locidm]

VF-4G, VF-17 fast pack, VF-171EX armor pack, and MP-14 Red Alert all coming not soon enough.....probably won't get it till next year.

I do have VE-1 and the super/fast pack already here and still unopened. Maybe tonight, it's boxing day after all.

gosh it's been an expensive month.

[Valkyrie Magnus]

That's what I was thinking too, but with the sale and everyone saying its a solid toy I decided to spring for it. Color scheme not so much but you are right it is well built.

[Loop]

You know I was on the fence at first with the Kai, but I love it in my collection now.

[Valkyrie Magnus]

After transforming it and handling it, I am starting to really like it.
