505thAirborne Posted March 25, 2016 Posted March 25, 2016 Love the Ranka & Sheryl figures, now on my Wish list! I'm never big on applying stickers, yet the GBP Armor looks much better this way!
no3Ljm Posted March 25, 2016 Posted March 25, 2016 Nice find, Gary! I'm so super jealous. Hahaha! I love his car actually. Is that the one that transforms into a robot? By the way, no 'Buknoy' figure so far?

By the way, no 'Buknoy' figure so far? I got one right here that transform into a robot but its not good in good state. im still looking for 'buknoy' though, but i can just get an ordinary baseball and draw some eyes on it Lol
Lolicon Posted March 26, 2016 Posted March 26, 2016 Found an unopened Hikaru VF-1A in Akihabara, so snagged it. Once both my Kakizakis arrive, I'll finally have finished my TV and DYRL squadrons! Oh, and grabbed another Regult for good measure. Still a few more left on the shelf.
abbadon Posted March 27, 2016 Posted March 27, 2016 Great purchases, guys! Garyboy! Your purchases are always interesting! Love them!
505thAirborne Posted March 27, 2016 Posted March 27, 2016 wow! decals look really beautiful. Thanks dude! I found my 1/48 VF-1D conversion kit the other day, once I find a spare VF-1 that'll be my next project.

Lolicon Posted March 27, 2016 Posted March 27, 2016 Hey, how much did you snag the Vf-1A? 23000 yen unopened. There was an opened item for 18000, and it was in good condition too, but the rainbow tinting had started cracking, so I paid extra for the new one. I love the rainbow tinted canopies!
iguanaman8989 Posted March 29, 2016 Posted March 29, 2016 Been a while since I've been active here, 2009, after I got my first Yamato Valk, CF VF-0A. I now have 2 Yamatos! YF-19 was always a favorite design of mine, but I wasn't paying attention and missed out on Arcadia's initial release. Ended up settling on a VF-19S, and now love it! (YF-19 reissue is currently on preorder) Also snagged a Legacy Falconzord, after the Toys R Us website restocked at the lower price point.

I love the rainbow tinted canopies Thats a great price with the current price these are going, tho I got mine for $150 about a year back, but price was relatively cheaper back then. How's the shoulders on yours? probably broken too, I assume? Mine had both shoulders cracked, but Im leaving it in fighter mode.

(YF-19 reissue is currently on preorder) Also snagged a Legacy Falconzord, after the Toys R Us website restocked at the lower price point. I too love the YF-19, and if you can stand some VF-19 ish "improvements" the Bandai VF-19Advance is a worthy replacement. If you can pick one up of course. The bandai offering has a better color IMO, and the toy mostly nails it, not to mention coming with a fair bit of accessories (minus all that armament from the Arcadia, which would have been nice). The fighter mode side profile is much nicer than the arcadia, and many of the mechanisms from the arcadia ar carried over and done a bit better. Now I don't know about the re-release that is either upcoming or rumored or already out, but the real selling point is not having to pay arcadia prices for it, and still having a well done toy. Just a thought. And Welcome back!

Just a thought. And Welcome back! Not really a big fan of the Bandai design. I like the cleaner and simpler look of the Arcadia, as well as the cooler color used.Had I known about the DX when it first came out I probably would've gotten one at retail, but that ship has sailed. Same situation with the YF-30. By the time I knew it was even a thing it was far too late. So after the Arcadia YF-19 I'm aiming for a DX VF-31C. Edited March 29, 2016 by iguanaman8989
ZorClone Posted March 29, 2016 Posted March 29, 2016 Got my HLJ pile of stuff in today and here's the smallest item from it all
Lolicon Posted March 30, 2016 Posted March 30, 2016 Thats a great price with the current price these are going, tho I got mine for $150 about a year back, but price was relatively cheaper back then. How's the shoulders on yours? probably broken too, I assume? Mine had both shoulders cracked, but Im leaving it in fighter mode. I didn't check the shoulders. If they're cracked, no big deal. It's something a drop of super glue can fix. Was willing to pay extra for the intact rainbow tint! Also picked this murderously adorable item up!
Bahamutzyro Posted March 30, 2016 Posted March 30, 2016 just received this load from bbts. i have no idea where to put this stuff lol
ChaoticYeti Posted March 30, 2016 Posted March 30, 2016 I've been picking up some figures I missed the first time around. I have two more Medicom EVA's on the way. They can be exorbitantly expensive, so I have been waiting around for decent prices. And a few pics for scale:
ChaoticYeti Posted March 30, 2016 Posted March 30, 2016 Never hits you until you have a figure in hand how big, or small it is. In the process of re-arranging some shelves for when the others come in.
Kanedas Bike Posted March 30, 2016 Posted March 30, 2016 Those are some nice pics, and that EVA 09 is indeed very nice, but I keep staring at the 0S in Battroid. I should ship mine from HLJ PW. -b.

Kanedas Bike Posted March 30, 2016 Posted March 30, 2016 ^Nice! The effects add a very cool appearance of speed to the VF-4G. -b.
spanner Posted March 30, 2016 Posted March 30, 2016 loving the new VF-4 and Tamashii effects! even using those effects with the fp stands kinda works well eh! looks great! im impressed!
Lolicon Posted March 31, 2016 Posted March 31, 2016 Some more finds from Tokyo. Already have a VF-11B but this one has the tinted canopy, so I had to have it!
chyll2 Posted March 31, 2016 Posted March 31, 2016 Nice find, I didnt know that VF-11B also has rainbow tinted and normal canopy
Lolicon Posted March 31, 2016 Posted March 31, 2016 Yeah the early VF-11 runs had the tinted canopies, but not later runs. I'll probably just swap the cockpit pod and sell the extra VF-11 with now untinted canopy.
abbadon Posted March 31, 2016 Posted March 31, 2016 Nice haul, Lolicon! I love the VF-11. I have the C. Hopefully I can afford a B someday as well. Again, great finds, Garyboy! Where's the Lander?
