Sildani Posted May 6, 2019 Posted May 6, 2019 Just came in to my local GameStop. I’ve had Blink on PO for months, she looks great, and I’ve always liked Silver Sable.
Slave IV Posted May 6, 2019 Posted May 6, 2019 I finally found Doom: Not bad but mostly makes me wish Sentinel will do a repaint of their Re:Edit Shape Changing Iron Man to make this guy and also make a proper Classic Doom.
Kuma Style Posted May 6, 2019 Posted May 6, 2019 Stuff started coming in today, finally. Sentinel x Heroes Ultraman 1/6 quick snap:
rdrunner Posted May 7, 2019 Posted May 7, 2019 These all came in on the same day, after getting stuck at the New York ICS for days, the VF-4, weeks. The VF-25G was a spontaneous pickup - it was missing most of the accessories except the sniper rifle and the stand (Gerwalk and Battroid adaptors missing). Manda said there are loose joints, and “fear of joint breakage”, bordering on junk status. Transformed into G without problems so far. Will see if it snaps in half when I attempt Battroid.
jammaker Posted May 7, 2019 Posted May 7, 2019 My latest Macross purchase is this. Bandai Yf-19 So happy!!!!!!!

Ah so you're the one who bought the suspiciously cheap "hope it doesn't break on you" 25G from Mandarake. How is it?

Yup - I just came across this during my routine search for my "want" list, this being on top (up there with the VF-0D). Saw the "low" price of 20k yen and I knew it had to be pretty beat up. When I got it, the plane was actually in reasonable shape in terms of scratches and paint chips. The left shoulder hinge joint is loose, but that's what I have found so far. The hip ball joints seem to be holding up ok (I have seen worse). But I haven't transformed it into Battroid yet. Here is my question - has anyone experienced any joint breakages with any of the DX renewal VF-25 figure? What joints are prone to failure/stress breakage? With the loose joints, I was just planning to leave it as is, or just dab a tiny bit of thin cement in the hinge to tighten it. Thanks.
Saburo Posted May 8, 2019 Posted May 8, 2019 Got some new coffee mugs from the Gundam Cafe and vinyl Kiryu figure.

How is it? @Lolicon just FYI, I asked Mandarake directly if they could give more details of the suspected broken joints. They replied very quickly. I feel a bit better about testing it in Battroid mode now. Indirectly loose overall. A load is applied when deforming. So the staff said it was fragile. The explanation is difficult because it is an individual's feeling beyond that. It is a figure to display without moving too much.

iguanaman8989 Posted May 8, 2019 Posted May 8, 2019 I’ve already resigned myself to going all in with Ryusoulger, I need all the souls. The original Astro Megazord was something I always wanted as a child, so the new minipla is a nice alternative.

I love the 1/100 diecast Air Fighters Collection and have several so far with a 1/100 F-16CJ and F-35A coming in later. Plus a diecast 1/100 F-117 from another company. Got some more Marvel Legends.

They have really come a long way since then - but nice to see the franchise still going strong. I bet I won’t know half the mecha in this latest version anyway, lol.
anubis20 Posted May 9, 2019 Posted May 9, 2019 I got the regular release Karas a few weeks ago but I never thought I would get my hands on one of these Chara Hobby 2009 Exclusive Karas Found one for a decent price and these are super hard to come by so I jumped on it.

sh9000 Posted May 9, 2019 Posted May 9, 2019 Nice purchase @Convectuoso. Do you plan on getting the 1/100 VF-2JA as well?

Drad Posted May 9, 2019 Posted May 9, 2019 Just stumbled across a grail diecast of mine on Mandarake. Had to get it since it almost never pops up and if it does it usually goes for astronomical prices. Lamborghini Countach LP 500S in red, 1/18 scale by Kyosho. http://www.lambodiecast.com/detail.php?item=count2
