Saburo Posted December 4, 2015 Posted December 4, 2015 I got my HM-R VF-1S Hikaru and some stuff today.

seti88 Posted December 4, 2015 Posted December 4, 2015 Are you planning to catch valks in the wild with that focal range saburo?hehe
Saburo Posted December 4, 2015 Posted December 4, 2015 You buy cameras like we buy Arcadia toys. Hehe. Photography and Valks are my 2 main addictions, I mean hobbies. Nice toys, Saburo! Thanks abbadon! Been wanting that lens for while now and the new camera was an impulse purchase because it was a great deal. New camera again? Yes, I have been sort of looking for a smaller camera that could use my main camera's lenses. so that could be an everyday carry. I saw that Canon had deal I couldn't pass up. I may have a problem. Are you planning to catch valks in the wild with that focal range saburo?hehe hahahaaha! Now that would be something to photograph.
Lolicon Posted December 4, 2015 Posted December 4, 2015 Looks like I flew too close to the sun on wings of pastrami... Bought a B grade VF-1A from Jungle for a pretty low price. The only issue they told me about aside from the "sunburned" box was the rainbow canopy was starting to crinkle. Not a big deal. I can just remove it if it's a problem. Just got it today and was very disappointed. First thing I noticed was that the outer hardpoints on both wings were broken off. WTF. Alright, fine, I can just keep it in battroid and not have anything attached on the wings. Then I see that one of the lower stabilizers is completely missing. WTF again! That clinched it. This thing is a piece of junk and is only good for spare parts.
wmkjr Posted December 4, 2015 Posted December 4, 2015 Order some hardpoints on shapeway. I've seen it before somewhere. As for the lower stab, sorry about that. Got a spare set of armor parts lying around? Kill 2 birds with one stone.

Got a spare set of armor parts lying around? Kill 2 birds with one stone. Sadly, I don't. Oh well. I didn't pay that much for it, so I may find some use for it in the future. Maybe find another junk VF-1 and make 1 good unit...

Not hopeful I'll get anything back, but no harm in asking.
Garfinkel Posted December 4, 2015 Posted December 4, 2015 Good luck. Worst case he can live i a suit of gbp armour as that will hide his wing and fin issues.

Or ask for refund. Its quite surprising that this managed to slip through Jungle as they are usually very good at avoiding junk. I guess with the amount of stuff they sell then something a bit more serious was bound to slip through. Hope you get it sorted.
Golden Arms Posted December 5, 2015 Posted December 5, 2015 Lolicon, I'd be willing to buy it for spare parts if you don't get proper resolution.
Lolicon Posted December 5, 2015 Posted December 5, 2015 Thanks for the input everyone. I've emailed them with pics of the damage. Here's hoping!
DyNo Posted December 13, 2015 Posted December 13, 2015 Thanks to Mass Driver, I'm now the pround owner of this awesome SDF-1. I've been waiting a long time to get my hands on one!!!
dapro Posted December 15, 2015 Posted December 15, 2015 Got the green gamma beast in and he is bigger than expect!
no3Ljm Posted December 15, 2015 Posted December 15, 2015 Nice hauls everyone! dapro, can you show me or tell me how small is Amazing Spider-Man figure from Iron Man? Is he half an inch shorter atleast? Thanks!
dapro Posted December 15, 2015 Posted December 15, 2015 (edited) Yea, it is about half an inch shorter. In the picture Spider-man is on a elevated stand and Mark 42 got a wide legs stand going.They scale well together. Are you looking to get the spider-man? Edited December 15, 2015 by dapro

But lots of preorders and other purchases happened.
HEY BOYS Posted December 15, 2015 Posted December 15, 2015 Can someone tell me besides stores in Japan and also ebay, some good online options to purchase and pre-order bandai macross collectibles ? Thanks
sh9000 Posted December 15, 2015 Posted December 15, 2015 Now I need to find time to customize one into a VF-1S Max.
derex3592 Posted December 15, 2015 Posted December 15, 2015 xmas came early this year.. .thundercracker is on the way to complete the trio...
Guest davidwhangchoi Posted December 17, 2015 Posted December 17, 2015 1/60 PG Banshee Norn oh, the expensive LED unit. rare grab!
Saburo Posted December 17, 2015 Posted December 17, 2015 1/60 PG Banshee Norn Very nice! oh, the expensive LED unit. rare grab! I am out of touch with Gunpla, but my friend who's into Gunpla said the same thing about the Bandai LED unit. Its more rare than the model kit itself?
Golden Arms Posted December 17, 2015 Posted December 17, 2015 HLJ has it back in stock. I was able to grab one for about $73. I may order another even though I have the Ultimate works LED kit.
