I like getting the original brown shipper box with these exclusives. Though this one was placed inside another brown box... which was placed inside yet another brown box before shipping. So I had to free it from three layers of brown boxes before reaching the actual 0S box. Also, I think I might have to slow down my MB purchases... Wow , you went pokemon on Metal builds. but there was lots of sales lately so you can push the blame on that.

Gosh, I'm still arguing with myself why not getting hands on an MB 00 Gundam Seven. Looking at your purchases, why I am just waiting? So jealous and congrats btw
CrossAir Posted June 22, 2018 Posted June 22, 2018 (edited) At least these two boxes were in mail yesterday. Not planned but on time for B-day Years ago the RVF-25 was my first DX purchase and gave the impulse for collecting Macross. But it took me really a long time now to get a renewal Ghost Set at a reasonable price. Edited June 22, 2018 by CrossAir
kajnrig Posted June 22, 2018 Posted June 22, 2018 (edited) Woot woot! My first VF-17 DX! EDIT: Jokes aside, I honestly think THIS is the toy for me. It FEELS like a toy, like something you're meant to mess around with. I'd be too afraid to play with a modern VF-171 DX, but this I can zoom around and transform willy nilly.

jenius Posted June 23, 2018 Posted June 23, 2018 The sad thing with that 17 is how much cooler it could have been articulation wise with very minor changes to the mold.
sh9000 Posted June 23, 2018 Posted June 23, 2018 Got the DX VF-31C Super Parts, another HMR Missile Effect Set, Marvel Legends Avengers Infinity War Thor and another Black Widow, Marvel Legends Fantomex, effect parts for Marvel Legends Cyclops, some 1/12 scale guns, and a Marvel Legends Daken head.
Slave IV Posted June 24, 2018 Posted June 24, 2018 Got some Macross gems! Opened the small one first because of all the reports of mismatched armor parts. Whew, no problems here!

Though I do have a point of contention with the pose. By the founding of the Blue Team there’s a button in cyclops glove to open his visor. He no longer needs the Jean Grey Pleasure Pose hand to fire.

derex3592 Posted June 26, 2018 Posted June 26, 2018 Had this on preorder for almost a year. My 2nd ever 1/6 Hot Toys figure. Head and face sculpt is incredible...pics don't do it justice. Swishy lightsaber is a new feature with the new figures from Hot Toys.. I kinda like it! Can't wait to get him setup next to my Vader.

vt102 Posted June 26, 2018 Posted June 26, 2018 My Miria just arrived from @MikeRoz . I am a happy camper.
Slave IV Posted June 26, 2018 Posted June 26, 2018 HOLY EXPLETIVE DELETED!!! This Carnage figure is so good I don't even know what to do with it! BEST LINE IN COMIC STYLE TOYS EVER!!!
Kuma Style Posted June 26, 2018 Posted June 26, 2018 Had it since last year but finally actually got to take the Comicave studios Optimus off the shelf and mess with it. Huge, Diecast goodness it is.

Looks nice. Jabba's Palace has always been my favorite look for Luke followed closely by the final duel and Endor. I wish they would have started the swishy saber with Anakin. I want to have a display with Anakin and Obi-Wan fighting. Edited June 26, 2018 by Matt Random
Sildani Posted June 26, 2018 Posted June 26, 2018 Newest add: Hobby Master’s Mitsubishi F-2 Super Kai (HA2708). So far HM’s only “what if” model, since the Kai was only ever a proposal to the JASDF and was only made in an air-show model form. Japanese distributors asked for the model to be made and it sold out quick. I’ve only ever seen a few on eBay for some $300 US or so, got this BNIB for far less! Verily, I am pleased!

That’s a cool plane. On the top side middle part of the fuselage, I wonder if that’s where the arms folds in?
kajnrig Posted June 26, 2018 Posted June 26, 2018 A true single-engine VF!?!? I can't wait to see that thing transformed!

It can only be picked up at SDCC and must be picked up by the person that placed the order (ID verification) so you can't have a friend pick it up for you unless they also created an account at Sideshow and purchased it for you. On top of that there is a limit of 1 per person so you can't have one person buy a batch to pick up for a group of people. Now it is likely that Sideshow will have extras after SDCC that they will sell normally but no guarantees.

The fuselage has a very different shape and the sides resemble the F-5 a bit, which is why I mentioned that. Edited June 26, 2018 by Slave IV

I had the same thought a while back, and wondered if you could actually use those conformal packs to hide the arms on a masterpiece-styled G1 Dreadwind. The F-2 is a nice mod to the general F-16 shape, looks really good! Funny thing about the F-5 though.. the YF-17 was an evolution of the F-5, before it turned into the F-18.
