Chronocidal Posted December 27, 2012 Posted December 27, 2012 Repeating this here, because it's applicable. *sings* "On the fifth day of Christmas, HLJ sent to me... Two VF-4S!! One Super Nightmare, one whale spermbank, one armor pack... And a robot with a boombox IN SPAAACE!!" Quote
Benson13 Posted December 27, 2012 Author Posted December 27, 2012 Now that is some Xmas cheer I can appreciate. I you sang that on my doorstep, I wouldn't chase you off with one of those cardboard wrapping paper tubes. For some reason every time I pick one of those up I have to make lightsaber noises. Quote

Benson what happened to your avatar? Almost didn't notice it was you. Quote
mrhillz Posted December 28, 2012 Posted December 28, 2012 Well MOTU Classics Battle Cat & Panthor. They were pretty exciting to me . Quote
Loop Posted December 28, 2012 Posted December 28, 2012 Oh I added 2x VF-17 Super Parts to my list. Quote
Kicker773 Posted December 28, 2012 Posted December 28, 2012 Oh I added 2x VF-17 Super Parts to my list. That's why they are on back order lol Quote
jenius Posted December 28, 2012 Posted December 28, 2012 I also added VF-17 Super Parts to my list. Quote
Loop Posted December 28, 2012 Posted December 28, 2012 That's why they are on back order lol I got them at HLJ, glad I didn't lull over the decision for too long:) I had them in my cart for a while. I was going to grab the valk that is actually labeled Diamond force too, but they were out of stock Quote
Jefuemon Posted December 28, 2012 Posted December 28, 2012 Went old-school in Tokyo over Christmas weekend, and grabbed a 1/72 VF-1A Super and VF-1S Strike from Yellow Sub/Club M. Thanks to the Hasegawa kits, these old resin beauties are becoming dirt cheap. (around ï¿¥3000 each for these). The Tokyo trip was the main gift, actually. Quote
AcroRay Posted December 28, 2012 Posted December 28, 2012 The holiday was more of an excuse to shop for a couple of my own gifts: two Korean-made Macross kits - editions of Arii's 15th anniversary 1/100 Super Battroid kits. Pretty cool items, with nice box art. Pretty neat! They're in unusual colors (attempts at making them molded-in-color), and have transparent-backed stickers for the markings, rather than waterslide. They've got DYRL-style cannons for their FAST Packs, as well as the normal boosters. Unfortunately the 1D comes with a 1J head. I don't know if that's standard or a mistake. Other than that, though, they're the classic 1980s fugly Arii tooling. Quote
505thAirborne Posted December 28, 2012 Posted December 28, 2012 Merry Christmas to all and a Happy New Year to come!! For all of you getting the VF-4 and none of you having loose or broken parts, I'll for sure try and get one! I have a V2. VF-1S Hikaru w/Fast packs waiting for me in KS. (Forgot to have it sent to Cali). Quote
Old Man Posted December 28, 2012 Posted December 28, 2012 I did get myself a couple of figmas and an AUTOart 1/18 Platinum-Silver McLaren F1. It's a stunning model. You won't be disappointed. Quote
mechaninac Posted December 28, 2012 Posted December 28, 2012 It's a stunning model. You won't be disappointed. That's the latest, and by far the most expensive, of several AUTOart 1/18s I've added to my collection over the years, and I haven't been dissapointed yet. The workmanship and attention to detail in everything they release is incredible... this thing even has opening side trunks with removable luggage! It oozes authenticity and quality. Quote
Loop Posted December 31, 2012 Posted December 31, 2012 (edited) ME too. I am still waiting on 2x VF-4G's, a VF-17D with SP combo, 2x VF-17 Super parts, a VF-19P, and a set of VF-171 Armored parts. Only things that came in were a VF-19F to complete Emerald Force and a tan colored Destroid Tomahawk that I had a hard time finding at a good price, but found an awesome deal on.

I haven't yet talked myself into the McClaren....it is sooo cool though. The most I've dropped is on the Bugatti Veyron. And it is gorgeous! Quote

Golden Arms Posted December 31, 2012 Posted December 31, 2012 Those were my december hauls, but several were preorded the month prior. Quote
typhoon Posted January 1, 2013 Posted January 1, 2013 ME too. I am still waiting on 2x VF-4G's, a VF-17D with SP combo, 2x VF-17 Super parts, a VF-19P, and a set of VF-171 Armored parts. Only things that came in were a VF-19F to complete Emerald Force and a tan colored Destroid Tomahawk that I had a hard time finding at a good price, but found an awesome deal on. Damn Loop, I have just about the same gear coming through as well, minus one VF-17 super pack. The sad thing is, I'm back to work tomorrow and just about everything is slated to arrive that same day.... Luckily the wife can make a stop at the post office, otherwise I would be waiting for another week. Awesome way to start the New Year!! Quote
Benson13 Posted January 1, 2013 Author Posted January 1, 2013 Kicker, just go a head and amaze us. Quote
vt102 Posted January 1, 2013 Posted January 1, 2013 I got my V2 VF-1D 30th anniversary. But I got it myself....so I don't consider it holiday loot. I actually got nothing from my wife for X-mas. And yes...I got her something she wanted. I hate this time of year. Quote
Benson13 Posted January 1, 2013 Author Posted January 1, 2013 Once I hang my new Macross wall portrait and get one more package in I'll finally be able to post a pic of my holiday loot. Quote
Shaorin Posted January 1, 2013 Posted January 1, 2013 (edited) Getting Any Good Holiday Loot? couple of little things i managed to treat myself to; PIONEER DV-37 DVD PLAYER (2001) Schoolgirl uniform for my "Rena" Character in the "ELSWORD" MMO; Edited January 1, 2013 by Shaorin Quote
Kelsain Posted January 3, 2013 Posted January 3, 2013 Was just about to order a Quarter for my birthday, but didn't have time this morning. Out of stock by lunch time. Dammit, not again, HLJ! Oh well, no place to display it right now anyway. Quote
Scyla Posted January 3, 2013 Posted January 3, 2013 Was just about to order a Quarter for my birthday, but didn't have time this morning. Out of stock by lunch time. Dammit, not again, HLJ! Oh well, no place to display it right now anyway. Haha, it was the same with me. I was staring every day on the HLJ page trying to decide if I should order one. But I had no funds due to spending all my money on something expensive from NY. Well it is a good thing that it is gone now. No more mourning! Quote
Kelsain Posted January 3, 2013 Posted January 3, 2013 In 2013, I resolve not to hem and haw over a great deal! (null) Quote
Benson13 Posted January 3, 2013 Author Posted January 3, 2013 (edited) I got all my stuff in finally. Edited January 3, 2013 by Benson13 Quote
derex3592 Posted January 3, 2013 Posted January 3, 2013 OMG!! I sooooo dislike you for getting that yellow box theater scout model !!! Wanna sell it!???? Quote
Benson13 Posted January 4, 2013 Author Posted January 4, 2013 (edited) OMG!! I sooooo dislike you for getting that yellow box theater scout model !!! Wanna sell it!???? It was only $18 on evilbay. By the way it's waaaay bigger than what I thought it was going to be. It's almost the size of a baseball. Edited January 4, 2013 by Benson13 Quote
derex3592 Posted January 4, 2013 Posted January 4, 2013 (edited) I gotta go look for one now...all the one's I ever see are over $50 or more. ohh...and make sure you share with us your pure and utter dislike of the sound booster attachment to the Fire Valk..for so such an over-engineered hunk of plastic...it falls off the Valk if you breathe on it wrong! Yamato FAIL on that one... Edited January 4, 2013 by derex3592 Quote
