It's Spanner's time to transform and roll out. How much is it? And how big next to HM-R or 1/60?
spanner Posted August 23, 2016 Posted August 23, 2016 (edited) Yup. It's Spanner's time to transform and roll out. How much is it? And how big next to HM-R or 1/60? Hehe! Although I think "run out" is more appropriate for Ravage! Seeing he has legs rather than wheels! Got him off ebay for about $70 (aud) delivered! From China of course.. so yeah quite cheap! And hes tiny compared to HWR Monster! not even at knee height for a 1:60 VF-1.. Edited August 23, 2016 by spanner
Chronocidal Posted August 23, 2016 Posted August 23, 2016 Mmmm boxes of HLJ modeley goodness. No pics handy, but just got my second 1/48 Super/Strike VF-1A/S kit, along with two of the weapons sets. Most amusing part? After a bit of parts clipping and tree trimming, all the pieces from both the Valk and both weapons sets fit into 4 sandwich bags, and got put in one of the standard 1/48th VF-1 kit boxes. That Strike Valk box is beautiful, but man is it huge. If you start running out of room, you can do the same with the VF-25 kits. You can fit the base VF-25 kit in a 1 quart ziplock bag, the armor or super parts will fit in another. My armored Ozma kit box has like 8 VF-25s in it now.

sh9000 Posted August 23, 2016 Posted August 23, 2016 (edited) This explains where all of the Wolverine, Deadpool and Rogue figures are disappearing off to. Because there were only 2 Wolverines, 3 Deadpools, and 2 Rogues sold out of the entire world. Calm down. Edited August 23, 2016 by sh9000
technoblue Posted August 24, 2016 Posted August 24, 2016 (edited) /begin light humor Collecting is serious business, yo. I'm going to stock up on funny bones. I'll have one that I can use daily, one that I can put on display in special funny poses, and one that I can keep mint in a sealed funny box. /end light humor Joking aside, I've been catching up on a few MP carbots lately, while waiting for some pre-oders. I also picked up a few good deals from the ongoing special stock event at jungle japan.

Tking22 Posted August 24, 2016 Posted August 24, 2016 I should've posted this a while ago, I've already got a whole new batch of goodies on the way...
sh9000 Posted August 24, 2016 Posted August 24, 2016 Oh I love the quality of those. Nice haul Thanks.
ULessa Posted August 25, 2016 Posted August 25, 2016 Got a YF-29 Roy for about $180, not sure on condition yet but I'd assume its fine. Could've been cheaper but gotta get that EMS for tracking.
edstuff Posted August 25, 2016 Posted August 25, 2016 Went ahead and back ordered a monster destroid 1/200 model from hlj

Metal Man Posted August 26, 2016 Posted August 26, 2016 Ha... just got jipped by http://www.tf-toy.com/ Paid 600USD thinking I was ordering a yamato v2 VT-1. got a 1/72 hasegawa instead. Site says 30day returns but now I'm very skeptical...

Site says 30day returns but now I'm very skeptical... Yikes!! 600! Scary stuff! Hope you can get that sorted out.. never dealt with them before, was the listing for that item very specific about what you were buying?
Metal Man Posted August 26, 2016 Posted August 26, 2016 (edited) Actually, I was getting desperate to find a VT-1 v2 for under a grand. Some Italian hobby shops still had some, but only shipped to Italy. Then I found this page. They had pretty much copied the collection dx review and added the yammato photos.

technoblue Posted August 26, 2016 Posted August 26, 2016 Ouch. Did you use eBay or a credit card? You might have options there to get your money back if the store doesn't work with you on a return. As for finding a legitimate VT-1, use the 'Where to Buy' and 'Wanted' forums if you ever need help again, Metal Man. These are great resources. For example, there is a jungle store promotion going on right now that you might want to check out. You can find details in the JUNGLE items of interest thread.
Metal Man Posted August 26, 2016 Posted August 26, 2016 Card, and thanks for the info! But right now my wallet is in the ER...
Old Man Posted August 26, 2016 Posted August 26, 2016 (edited) dimension is selling one for cheaper here...http://www.macrossworld.com/mwf/index.php?showtopic=44068#entry1298157 Jungle has a bunch too... http://jungle-scs.co.jp/sale_en/?page_id=116&do=detail&id=199000001674 Edited August 26, 2016 by Old Man
Garfinkel Posted August 26, 2016 Posted August 26, 2016 Just had a look through the link. The pictures and text is a 100% copy of VF5SS's review of the yamato v2 the only mention of 1/72 is in the tags at the bottom. Seriously hope you can get a refund dude.
F360 Posted August 27, 2016 Posted August 27, 2016 Ha... just got jipped by http://www.tf-toy.com/ Paid 600USD thinking I was ordering a yamato v2 VT-1. got a 1/72 hasegawa instead. Site says 30day returns but now I'm very skeptical... I don't see how you couldn't get your money back. It's pretty much a "item not as described" case. If pay with PayPal you can file a dispute first , then move up to claims if he refuse for refund. If you pay with creditcard you can also file a claim with them if the PayPal route ends up bad. Take screen caps of the item whole page too for reference . Shows TRANSFORMABLE vt-1 toy but recieved a model kit . Your Invoice And their cart system does not show model kit or 1/72 hasegawa right ? Also having a tag with 1/72 doesn't mean jack, tag is not a item, it's a category .
dapro Posted August 27, 2016 Posted August 27, 2016 Unless you pay with cash or paypal gift, you will get your money back. Might take weeks but you will get money back.
Metal Man Posted August 28, 2016 Posted August 28, 2016 I've sent a request, I'll let you all know how it goes. If I can get my cash back, it might go towards Dimension's VE-1
Tking22 Posted August 28, 2016 Posted August 28, 2016 Very sweet haul here! I decided I wanted some Masterpiece Dinbots, so I'm going the FansToys route, and these two do not disappoint. Stomp is pretty incredible, probably Transformer of the year for me, Sever aint too shabby either. Both look good, and scale well I'm my opinion. Not owning any MP Dinobots yet I eyed GIgapowers stuff too and they just didn't do it for me, G1 toy accuracy isn't my thing, and they were just a bit too "thick" looking. These guys look amazing, I'll be grabbing the re-issue blue Soar and G1 cartoon Scoria as soon as they are available, and of course, FT Grinder will end up being my Grimlock. MonsterArts GMK 2001 Godzilla is probably my favorite MonsterArts Godilla mold, which is fitting because GMK 2001 is one of the my favorite Godzilla films, making him the villain again was great, and those dead white eyes were perfect.
Metal Man Posted August 29, 2016 Posted August 29, 2016 No reply yet, and I've been looking through the site. The whole thing seems like it was set up in a hurry as a scam site. I should be lucky I got anything at all. Is there a blacklist for websites?

I should be lucky I got anything at all. Is there a blacklist for websites? You can post it on the Blacklist thread if you like. IIRC, angolz.com is listed there as well. So it's not just for members anymore. Edited August 29, 2016 by no3Ljm
