And EVERY SINGLE thing I have gotten from AmazonJP has had a damaged box so far. I'll pay the extra couple bucks and get undamaged shipping (in theory). I'm also not sure how AmazonJP does shipping on multiples. Do the charge you shipping three times? If it's like AmazonUS, yes. Hobby Search will ship in one box and in theory that will be less expensive....maybe?? Either way, it's only going to be a couple $$ swing. Not the end of the world. I checked and if I was ordering 3 at Amazon JP then the shipping is 2800 JPY.

Slave IV Posted November 18, 2019 Posted November 18, 2019 (edited) Yeah, AJ shipping is 1600 for the first item, add 600 each additional. Can’t beat the price for the speed they ship but as someone recently mentioned, they ship in Kleenex boxes. But the shrink wrap and fast shipping help reduce the chances of damage. Whatever the case, this is the best looking Legioss figure by a long shot I’ve ever seen. Can’t wait to get a Tread to go with it along with the rest of the variants. And nice Spidey + Friends set @sh9000 I look forward to watching that show on D+ with my kids. Edited November 18, 2019 by Slave IV

The Ferrari in front was one of my favorites and prized pieces. Just checked underneath and no wonder, it’s a ‘79 Tomica. The Green Pullback car to the right of it is the best pullback I’ve ever owned. Still looks and works as good as new after decades of use and abuse. That is German made quality! And a glance at what else was in the box I opened. I love the old school Empire Strikes Back. That whole era of Star Wars toys is really when Kenner stepped up their game.

Since most of the scifi Hallmark ornaments this year seem to be prior-year rehashes I already have, this is the only one I'm grabbing this year. This is the tree from a few years back: We got the fakest looking tree we could find for it. You can't tell from the first pict but it is pretty loaded down with ships all over. I actually stopped putting characters on the tree for the most part because I didn't have room.

sqidd Posted November 20, 2019 Posted November 20, 2019 @Kuma Style kinda warned me off of this guy. It's been known to have problems with the wings. And it's pretty damn fiddly. You can pose it, but you certainly can't play with it. He was right..........................................But I don't care! I absolutely love the sculpt and paint details. LOVE IT! You can kinda see in my crappy pic how much pearl is in the white and the maroon on the shoulders. I really, really like how this guy looks. I'm not going to look too hard at it though. Something will fall off. You can tell how not stable this guy is and how worried I am about the wings getting broken. I almost never use stands. I only have one more Ex Gokin on my wish list. The Energer 1969 in the Anime colors. I haven't been able to find one.

sh9000 Posted November 20, 2019 Posted November 20, 2019 @vladykins You should try HMR VF-1s on the tree. Got a Hot Wheels Star Wars Tie Fighter, B-Wing, and Millennium Falcon. Turbo boost!

Slave IV Posted November 20, 2019 Posted November 20, 2019 Haha, I always decorate our tree with some toys too. Carbonized Sith looks pretty badass! The figure isn’t great but that’s standard. The new blaster it has is really cool. I really love jet packs and Crimson troops. Look forward to getting Sith Jet Trooper. Or do I already have one of those...wth, I have no idea at this point, lol!
Saburo Posted November 20, 2019 Posted November 20, 2019 Got the MB Strike Freedom a week ago, so glad to add it to my small Metal Build collection.

For awhile, I limited myself just to Hallmark keepsakes (have a huge crate of those now- mostly Star Trek and Star Wars, but also a space shuttle and Apollo capsule). I added a few non-Hallmark ornaments when I found the Dr Who ones (including the weeping angel treetopper- before that, I put Princess Leia at the top). Hallmark released a Firefly Serenity so that had to go up as well. I usually will pull out an old boardgame board to put under the tree (last year was Avalon HIll's Dune board, year before that was the old Star Wars Hoth game). Now that I'm grabbing HMRs, though, I might have to pop some on. The tough thing is finding space on the tree, since I end up doubling up on some branches now.
borgified Posted November 20, 2019 Posted November 20, 2019 Just came in 5 mins ago via FedEx. Will do some further digging later on and will update in proper thread.

Mommar Posted November 23, 2019 Posted November 23, 2019 My Dad called me today to tell me he found three Turtles sets at Target. I go over to his house and he only wants me to pay him for two sets. The third is for Christmas. Guess which of the three sets he chose as the gift I couldn’t have tonight? Mezco Classic Wonder Woman is fricking amazing to display though.
Lolicon Posted November 23, 2019 Posted November 23, 2019 Today's purchases. The two Walkure MF kits were 60% off so I said why the hell not.
borgified Posted November 23, 2019 Posted November 23, 2019 At least you had sometime to fiddle with the Mezco Classics Wonder Woman @Mommar. My copy is still sealed in the box as I have deadlines to take care of first.
Alex GS Posted November 23, 2019 Posted November 23, 2019 Car Voltron is in the house!! effing awesome!
Slave IV Posted November 24, 2019 Posted November 24, 2019 This is probably my first and only high end, non transforming Transformer but it is Amazing (Yamaguchi)! I'll take Megatron, Soundwave and Dinobots please! My only complaint is there is no peg hole for the stand. Seems like a Mafex blunder that I wouldn't expect with a figure like this from AY but nbd.
