sh9000 Posted July 19, 2018 Posted July 19, 2018 Got some packages in today and will probably pick them up tomorrow. Marvel Legends Defenders set More items for my growing 1/100 and HMR collection: Wave 1/100 VF-17S, Wave 1/100 VF-22S, and Arii 1/100 Regult Scout. Also got some items for parts and the little figures that are included with them: Arii 1/100 VF-1D for the VF-1D head and Roy figure, 15th Anniversary VF-1A Gerwalk for the Misa figure. I read that Dorkside should have the Marvel Legends X-Men wave by Friday so that’s cool. Another package of 1/100 items is coming in later.
Slave IV Posted July 19, 2018 Posted July 19, 2018 I just hit the jackpot! Purple hair variant! Now I just hope the one in the case I ordered will have the black hair. Also grabbed these but I just realized I already have 2 out of 3 of them

They also had Winter Soldier/Falccon 2 pk, Gladiator, Venom and Carnage. I was really surprised to see this as the only figure from the wave there besides Gladiator.
sh9000 Posted July 19, 2018 Posted July 19, 2018 If you find another one can you get it for me? The Target out here kind of sucks sometimes.

Tking22 Posted July 19, 2018 Posted July 19, 2018 Three, yes three, of these beautiful sets showed up today. Came out yesterday for Lego VIP members, IMMEDIATELY swooped three, gladly paid for 1 day shipping and here we are. I'm a HUGE Bond fan, I've owned every film in four different formats over the years, I can honestly recite every line from most films in the franchise, I HAD to have this. One to open and build, one for MISB, and for one a good friend's b-day. A lot of car enthusiasts are bummed by this set, being Creator many expected a more spot on vehicle, but honestly, this is a Bond car, not just a model DB5. I feel Lego shouldn't even bother if they weren't going to throw in iconic gadgets and gimmicks, a more accurate to the real vehicle but gadgetless Bond DB5 would be a pass IMO. Having to fit so many features in, I think Lego did a pretty fantastic job with the shape overall. Could it be more accurate? Absolutely. Could it be more accurate without breaking the already pricey $150 price tag and fit all the features that actually make this a Bond car in? Highly doubtful, Lego did an amazing job with this IMO.
borgified Posted July 20, 2018 Posted July 20, 2018 @Tking22: A Bond car isn't a Bond car without its gadgets.. I'm waffling over this one or the Go Loin (Voltron) although the DB5 is an iconic British car and well known within the franchise (and the door doesn't fall off when you pick it up just by one door only and dangle it over your desk/table edge). Voltron is $180 USD ($220 CND) for 5 separate lions and it can combine to a bigger mecha and then take it apart for display if one chooses. Everyone has their reasons for choosing either one. Mine for today.

Got a package in the mail today..actually got a few packages but the only one I had time to open had this: My MCU collection is getting out of hand. Can't complain as I ordered this during the recent ridiculous sale Target had.
Lolicon Posted July 20, 2018 Posted July 20, 2018 Special thanks to @anubis20 for lending me his badass skills! Thanks to him my fan racer is no longer sitting around in pieces on a drawer.

Slave IV Posted July 20, 2018 Posted July 20, 2018 I got another Maki Maki! I think I have issues, lol!
Sanity is Optional Posted July 21, 2018 Posted July 21, 2018 Fresh shipment from NY. Surprised at the size of the box for the GM Dominance, thought it'd be a small-form like the GM Sniper II.
Mommar Posted July 21, 2018 Posted July 21, 2018 Managed to find Multiple Man at the fifth Target I stopped at. One down, two to go.
sh9000 Posted July 22, 2018 Posted July 22, 2018 Supervtoys has preorders of Multiple Man in sets of 4 and 8 but that’s probably too many. I haven’t picked up any of my packages yet but it will be one Marvel haul and one Macross haul.

Jamie Madrox is known to make multiple copies of himself when needed; however he kicked the bucket since contracting the Legacy Virus.

tekering Posted July 22, 2018 Posted July 22, 2018 Oh man, I'd forgotten how plain it looked without the Premium Finish... almost like an unpainted test shot.

But hey, to each his/her own . On a side note, anyone knows if there are shapeway/3D printed acessories for the sdf-1? say for example 1/3000 gripper arm+VF-1 during launch, or 1/3000 monster or destroids?

scand Posted July 23, 2018 Posted July 23, 2018 I've been out of the Macross toy collecting game for the better of a decade and a half... This was my pull last month. I miss my 1/48s :sniffles:

Shizuka the Cat Posted July 23, 2018 Posted July 23, 2018 (edited) So... my Yamato 1/60 VF-19F arrived from Amazon and I just realized something... This is the first time I have actually gotten a Macross toy that was new and sealed in that clear plastic wrapping. Up to now, everything I have gotten has been in great condition, but technically used and hence not sealed.... as my acquisitions up to now have either been from Jungle, AmiAmi, Mandarake, eBay, Yahoo Japan auctions, or MWF trades. So now, with regards to the 19F... there is a part of me that is struggling to unseal the toy. It's like, do I want to pop this valkyrie's cherry? Do I want to have it circumcised? This hesitations... it is such a weird feeling. OMG... I've become *THAT* kind of collector now, haven't I? Edited July 23, 2018 by Shizuka the Cat

This is where you come into understanding of those members here who used to always try and buy five copies of the Valkyries when they came out - three for the three modes, one for swooshing, one for MISB duties. A few of those members have recently sold their extras though - lack of room, or their collecting interests changed. You've got Schrödinger’s Valkyrie there! I do not envy you your dilemma. That said, it’s kinda a nice dilemma to have!

Mommar Posted July 23, 2018 Posted July 23, 2018 (edited) Score. Upon inspection of this Psylock I need to find the black haired version. I don’t understand why they changed her costume color as well as the hair because this costume color is wrong. Edited July 23, 2018 by Mommar

I more meant that opening the sealed shrink wrap would be a very painful, one and done sort of thing.... much like losing one's virginity or what I imagine circumcision must be like.... (Sorry, circumcision was the closest thing I could think of for guys that was remotely close to losing one's virginity) Anyways. I will probably open the box sometime soon.... eventually. And when I finally do unseal it... it will hurt. I might even cry. =) Sorry, I'll shut up now and play with my toys in the corner over there. Edited July 23, 2018 by Shizuka the Cat
