The Trooper is my favorite so far but I haven’t opened the droid yet. Does the snow trooper have proper double jointed elbows like the Original Storm Troopers or Clone Troopers or is it the gimped elbows like the First Order Troopers?

Are you asking about the Range Trooper? Either way, I don’t think either of the Solo troopers have double jointed elbows.
Shizuka the Cat Posted December 4, 2018 Posted December 4, 2018 *sigh* Could not resist picking up a second one of these...
Chronocidal Posted December 4, 2018 Posted December 4, 2018 Can't blame you there, the VE-1 is probably one of the best original Yamato releases. Soooo much tampo printing. Now, what you do with two of them is swap out parts on one for a combat loadout. You can snap the missile packs or strike cannons on in place of the tan sensor domes, replace the arm packs with some missiles and a gunpod, and load him down with some manner of missiles. I think some of the weapons like the rocket pods from the Arcadia YF-19 might look awesome.

You can check some over at Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss_1?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=acrylic+riser

vlenhoff Posted December 5, 2018 Posted December 5, 2018 I wish i could have afforded the 1/60 M&Ms. I had to sort out several things with my car, so that was that.

ScrambledValkyrie Posted December 5, 2018 Posted December 5, 2018 Nice M&M. Hasn’t the price on the Yamato versions come down quite a bit since the Arcadia re-releases?
Slave IV Posted December 5, 2018 Posted December 5, 2018 If I got another set, I’d probably try to get the PF Arcadia ones like when they were on sale. Not sure if that ship has sailed but I haven’t checked recently.
Shizuka the Cat Posted December 5, 2018 Posted December 5, 2018 As a heads up, USPS services are basically shut down today, in honor of former President George H. W. Bush. I noticed a package I was expecting to be delivered today got delayed.
Slave IV Posted December 5, 2018 Posted December 5, 2018 I already received several packages today... the stock market is definitely shut down though.
vlenhoff Posted December 5, 2018 Posted December 5, 2018 This B-Wing arrived a few weeks ago. The circle is complete.

The white plastic ones are discontinued Ikea toilet paper holder for 50 cents each

Alex GS Posted December 6, 2018 Posted December 6, 2018 lots of stuff in there, love it! Even in the back of the blister(in both) are some accessories attached with a bit of tape:
sh9000 Posted December 7, 2018 Posted December 7, 2018 Got 2 more Marvel Legends X-Men DOFP Sentinel sets during the sale. Also got Marvel Legends Dazzler for free.

Slave IV Posted December 7, 2018 Posted December 7, 2018 Got this thing today I’ve been waiting a lifetime for a good Black Manta figure...this ain’t it. It makes me wonder if I should cancel my preorder for the Lobo wave. On the box, it looks like the figure has clear lenses with textured bee like eyes behind them. The actual figure just has crappy paint. Overall, it’s not terrible, just not very good either.
sh9000 Posted December 8, 2018 Posted December 8, 2018 (edited) It still looks kind of cool. I’m considering getting the DC Multiverse 90’s Flash and Lynda Carter Wonder Woman. Got a Hot Wheels Batmobile and a Marvel Legends Thor Ragnarok set with a better condition box so that I can replace and return the other set that I got for super cheap but in a beat up box.

fenrir72 Posted December 8, 2018 Posted December 8, 2018 Just managed to snag for Y 3500 Macross DYRL BD. The "Uncensored" version and boy does the updated resolution floor my "unofficial" HK DYRL sub DVD by Animeking. The scratchy fine art of 1984 Haruhiko Mikimoto has a certain beauty that CGI art of the BD Macross pachinko music videos can NEVER match. The DVD, even with my player's upscaling features still looks smudgy. The BD images looks exactly like the images on the BD case, heck, much much clearer than the pictures on the case. It really holds out on its own despite it's almost 35 years of creation comparing the quality visuals of these era's sterile CGI graphics. Oh, and Nexx's HMR valk (long azz box!)
sh9000 Posted December 9, 2018 Posted December 9, 2018 Got a spare Marvel Legends All-New X-Men set. I’ll use them as my original X-Men.

derex3592 Posted December 10, 2018 Posted December 10, 2018 Beware the ever present exploding NUNS black triangles on that CF-171! But it is a great looking bird!

But it is a great looking bird! @wolfrider5 - Make sure that the legs also don't crumble if you ever do the transformation on the CF 171 (I know that you displayed it in valk mode).. The missile set (if your going to get it) is not going to be cheap to get, unless you want to get the Maruyama (sp?) version..
