Shizuka the Cat Posted March 27, 2018 Posted March 27, 2018 In your animation with bullets raining down from the VF-0's rifle, you should make it rain dollar signs or yen... or maybe a combination of dollar signs, yen, and euros?

Ironically it's the yamato and Arcadia valks that are the rarest in my collection so big boxes plus bigger box is unfortunately the way it has to be. I do also buy double or more of some types purely so I can keep one misb and the other as a mess around.
