Got a relatively good deal on everything because of the various promotions they were running (10% off rakuten, 20% off EMS shipping) and no currency conversion fees. I'm particularly happy about the low viz limited version. It's MISB and set me back $230 USD shipped via EMS. That was with 1800 yen tax because it was purchased from a store. Not too bad considering someone on the board tried to sell me one for 400 USD I think the only 1/48 out there that I don't have, and really want, is the VF-1J stealth super set All of my wildest dreams are coming true; I love you macross lol Now that is an amazing haul, from one 1/48 fan to another, Congrats!!!

Actually, I got tired of waiting and decided on getting the cheapest one from Mandarake at Y11000. The last standalone release sold at YJA for Y9600, I believe. And that's without proxy and shipping fees yet. Atleast for Y11000, I got a 'free' Roy VF-1S. But seriously, this transforming toy really feels small in my hands. But somehow fits with the rest of my Gundam Robot Damashii's. Hahaha! 22 hours ago, sh9000 said: Congrats on getting the HM VF-1S Roy. How much did you pay for the Mospeada book? Thanks! I got the book for Y5000 at Mandarake. I've been ignoring this book ever since and forgot to buy it when I bought all those VF books last month. So when I saw the last two copies available this month, I grabbed one. There's still one available as I'm replying this, so grab it now. It's a great book. 19 hours ago, Darotower said: Mospeada Book is the ultimate edition! Congrats on getting it and the rest of the stuff! Thanks Darotower! I'm really loving it.

Those 1/100 super parts are getting tough to find at anything close reasonable prices. If you can find a good deal on the HM Roy, it's not that much more than what the standalone super part set is going for. I recently scored a loose, complete HM VF-1S on YJA (through Buyee) for just Y7750 including fees and shipping. I also found a partly-used HM super parts sticker sheet on Ebay for $0.75

The one Anubis posted is Metal Build and not regular Gunpla kits. Metal Build are already built. Plastic used on the Metal Build ones are thicker ABS plastics with Diecast Metal for the inner frame.

anime52k8 Posted July 26, 2017 Posted July 26, 2017 (edited) So I pre-ordered this march 1st, 2016. 16 and a half months later I've finally got her. I've got one of every character in the line now, although there's a couple specific figures I need before I feel like I've got a complete set. still nice to have though.

I remember now you were the one that mentioned Otto cars don't have any opening doors or anything and I wish it had that or at least wheels that can be turned to different angles but otherwise, the detail is fantastic from the exterior to the interior. The closeup pictures I took bring out a lot of flaws but I never noticed anything but beauty in my hands. It's super solid, like a chunk of mostly metal. I'm really glad I got my hands on this one for sure.

Shiryu is what i was the most excited to get in that package. I'll mess with it later on today and snap some pics. I have no clue whats the story with the 7S, never really got into the MSV stories of 00.

Glad to see people getting the Nerv Anti-G. Mine should arrive someday and I'm highly anticipating it. Should go nicely with my SHMA and NECA Monsters. My Walkure SHF figures are also packed together on the way to me with 1:60 Hikaru 1S and some other goodies too. Now that I think about it, I have several other packages from all over on the way to me. Also just got some MLs including Dark Phoenix/Cyclops, Jackal to complete my Sandman BAF and SDCC Commander Gree.
