barurutor Posted January 7, 2017 Posted January 7, 2017 I think HLJ still has the Arcadia YF-19 as well, if you want a brand new one.

MikeRoz Posted January 7, 2017 Posted January 7, 2017 And now for another kind of pre-order madness entirely... Ordered 3/23/16 for a release date of late June. The game was delayed by the developer to early August, when it was released to nearly universal disappointment. The physical component of my pre-order finally shipped this week, and arrived yesterday. For your viewing pleasure, or ridicule, the No Man's Sky Explorer's Edition.

And looks like it was already sold since it's not in his listing anymore. Good luck! Thanks. I always want a second copy of this valk. 17 hours ago, barurutor said: I think HLJ still has the Arcadia YF-19 as well, if you want a brand new one. They don't have it anymore....

sh9000 Posted January 8, 2017 Posted January 8, 2017 There's a few recent purchases in this pic. The HMR Monster is still way better than the Koenig.

I needed a Monster and the HMR was out of the question for me. Plus the Sheryl itasha makes it alot better That really is the best version of the VB-6 I think, the colors just pop so much better than the earlier releases. Something to be aware of though, the decals of the girls on the nose are pretty prone to flaking off. On the other hand, if they do flake off all the way, you'll be left with the classic eyes tampoed onto the nose, which I don't think any of the other releases had printed on (think they were included as stickers).
Lolicon Posted January 10, 2017 Posted January 10, 2017 My third VF-31J arrived from Mandarake. I think three is enough... Also saw this and added it to my order because it looked amusing. I'm sure it's not an officially licensed Marvel product.
no3Ljm Posted January 10, 2017 Posted January 10, 2017 Lolicon, you know that three is not enough. Right, Spanner? Great hauls by the way.
505thAirborne Posted January 10, 2017 Posted January 10, 2017 Gotta love Mandarake for their packing, they do not cheap out. Couldn't resist picking up a few more 1/48 kits!! Lolicon, I think you need a 4th VF-31J.... for the Fast Packs!!

no3Ljm Posted January 10, 2017 Posted January 10, 2017 So is that @Vengers Idol Magazine Special is a kind of 'one-shot' graphic novel with the idols as Avengers? Looks interesting.

General Rasp Posted January 11, 2017 Posted January 11, 2017 So I just got two emails saying my SOC Voltron and Metal Build Gundam Blue Frame just came in. So much for being productive at work.
Lolicon Posted January 11, 2017 Posted January 11, 2017 Little late to the party with mine, as I shipped my PW early to get my 31J last month. Hope it doesn't use lead paint like the one I had back in the 80s.

Boobytrap Posted January 11, 2017 Posted January 11, 2017 Just got my SOC Voltron yesterday. I absolutely love it! I knew it would have a good amount of metal in it but the heft it has when fully assembled was still unexpected. I thought for sure that I would always have it displayed assembled. But I have been having so much fun posing all of the lions in different ways that I don't know when I would ever get around to putting it together again. If only I could afford to have two of them. First world problems I guess.
dapro Posted January 12, 2017 Posted January 12, 2017 I am still waiting for Anime Island to get the SOC Voltron. Come on man! How you guys like it?
Tking22 Posted January 12, 2017 Posted January 12, 2017 Got a ton of goodies in the last couple of days, an HLJ private warehouse shipment and another big box of love from amiami. I already got Badcube Speedbump, I assumed he would be my MP Trailbreaker, but MMC/Ocular Max Terraegis is awesome! I've seen some have issues with him, but my copy is mint and I think he looks phenomenal, I doubt an official Takara version could sway me, but I will give them a fair look when they announce their version. MonsterArts Godzilla is a bit disappointing, his paint is fairly meh, and he's got a loose leg, so loose he has a hard time holding up the weight of his 30lbs. tail. I've been aching to get my hands on the new Doom by Fantasy Flight games, I had the original version in college but sold it like a dipshit and pretty much immediately regretted it. New game is amazing, plays fast, it's fun, playing as Demon or Marine is a blast, highly recommended if you're looking for a great quickie tabletop game with beautiful mini figures. Figuarts are always nice, I even got Obi-Wan with a new hat! Missed out on D-Arts Charizard, very glad I didn't have to pay $250+ for one. I've got 7 Figuarts Hall of Armors on order, so I'm in need of some 1/12 or 6" Iron Man armors, plenty of suggestions from others in this thread are probably going to lead to many of my new armor acquisitions. I'm dying for my Chogokin Voltron, I'm waiting on BBTS to get the US Bluefin stock in. I'm baffled there's people having issues with it not being "toon accurate" enough. Apparently Bandai should have figured out a way to hide the red and green lion legs in bot mode to appease literally everyone. What they made works for me, looks gorgeous, and I can't remember a single transforming, combining Voltron/Golion that was able to hide the green and red legs in combined bot mode.
ArchieNov Posted January 12, 2017 Posted January 12, 2017 Glad I'm not a fan of Voltron. I always found his battles way too lame (he'd immediately form his blazing sword after combining and then kill the robeast in one blow) and he sometimes used weapons that came out of nowhere, never to be used again (knee beams). But the SOC toy looks good for what it is. I just never liked the aesthetic of Voltron (lion heads for hands and feet).

anubis20 Posted January 12, 2017 Posted January 12, 2017 As a kid I loved the show... Grew up and tried watching it again and it put me to sleep But i do love the toys and the design.

But one thing I find funny is how current day SJWs will never let a show like Voltron air because Lothor acts like a stalker/rapist/kidnapper always preying on the princess.

Lolicon Posted January 12, 2017 Posted January 12, 2017 I haven't watched Voltron in decades, and I don't plan to. But I still love that giant robot! I need a bigger backdrop!
ZorClone Posted January 12, 2017 Posted January 12, 2017 i'm also very interested to hear impressions on Voltron. IDK if I want to spend that much money on one... yet Meanwhile, Figuarts K2-SO is nicely detailed and has excellent articulation

You just grabbed Lolicon's photo. Retouched the washed out highlight portion of the image (sword). Darken and desaturated the photo a little bit. Changed the background. And claimed that you have a copy. Bah! The only way to make me believe is that if you straighten out the box. You guys even have the same angle. You can't fool me. Hahaha!

Lolicon Posted January 12, 2017 Posted January 12, 2017 The toy does come with two different plaques. One is the original Japanese GoLion logo, and the other is the English Voltron logo. Voltron was of course heavily edited to meet 1980s censorship in the States (damned backwards country). I've been meaning to watch GoLion to see all the changes, but since I haven't seen Voltron in so long, I don't really remember anything and I would have to watch that again, and that definitely isn't going to happen.
derex3592 Posted January 12, 2017 Posted January 12, 2017 DAMMIT you guys! STOP posting pics of that Voltron! I do NOT need to buy that thing right now!

What do you mean by two plaques? Do you mean the blue base thing that holds all of the weapons? All I read was that the US Bluefin versions would come with an extra Voltron sleeve over the main box because this guy's obviously more recognizable in the West as Voltron instead of Golion, maybe I'm confused about what you are referring to. Either way I want mine, he's coming in with the newly re-issued MP Soundwave Asia release with all of the cassettes in one box, I can't wait to get those guys in!
Slave IV Posted January 12, 2017 Posted January 12, 2017 (edited) Haha, I was never a big fan of Voltron either...Mainly because I grew up watching Mazinger and other giant robot stuff that I liked a lot more. I love Lion robots but just the ones that end up with the beast face on the chest of the combined bot (Daltanious, GGG...). But I do love seeing all the pics of Voltron so keep them coming so I can enjoy seeing what you guys have and save that money for bots I really love. As for SHF K2-S0, looks great but isn't he a little short to be a security droid? I have one ordered too and I also have a Black Series and Elite version. A lot of people are saying the Black Series is better than the SHF in this rare case. I'm thinking I'll just open my Elite version since I think those are best for droids anyway (nothing like having a metal droid figure) and it will tower like it should over most other figs.
