borgified Posted April 8, 2020 Posted April 8, 2020 (edited) Your getting Mezco One: 12 stuff as well @nathans82? There's a story behind this one. My copy of MP-29+ arrived from Manda via DHL and I ordered it via EMS originally five days before Manda posted the Suspension of Mailing was to be in effect. Two days before the payment was due, I emailed Manda Nayuta if there is a possibility to change the shipping to EMS to DHL to speed things up as EMS was delayed. Agreement was made and I paid the difference. Shipping was done on Friday, came in the DHL Depot in Vancouver, British Columbia on Monday, got nabbed in Custom Fees. Paid the fees last night and got delivered today, plus totally disinfected the entire box before opening it. Delivery guy was also taking pre-cautions as well with the gloves and mask. This is the Shockwave that I was looking forward to get, not the lilac looking one. Singing the song: "One eyed, one eyed giant purple people eater" while fiddling with it. Note that my camera doesn't pick up the dark rich purple as it picks it up in blueish-purple hue and left the coil in the package until I get my MP shelf up again. Edit: It shows purple in this pic anyways. Edited April 8, 2020 by borgified
lechuck Posted April 9, 2020 Posted April 9, 2020 I have been looking out for MP-29+ as well, but find the current going prices very steep. If you don't mind me asking, how much did you get it for at manda?

If you don't mind me asking, how much did you get it for at manda? 16k yen and there was another one for 18k yen (now sold out). Check out the site frequently as there will be a possibility that one will surface back up, just give it some time. MP-29+ was listed for 20k yen when it first came out. Edit: My copy was used, package damaged that's why it was 16k yen. Edited April 9, 2020 by borgified
Slave IV Posted April 12, 2020 Posted April 12, 2020 Speaking of Made in USA, I just got this piece of quality goodness.

tekering Posted April 13, 2020 Posted April 13, 2020 I have absolutely every Alien, Predator and RoboCop figure NECA produced... ...except for all that non-canon video game, comic, and Kenner-homage junk you've got in that cabinet.

Lolicon Posted April 15, 2020 Posted April 15, 2020 Set aside my current valkyrie project so I can play through this.
Shizuka the Cat Posted April 15, 2020 Posted April 15, 2020 My Itano Circus-inspired dissertation on improving target elimination via cooperative pitbulling through in-flight locally-networked swarms got approved earlier today! PhD, here I come! YAY! Too bad my paper will never see the light of day.... yay confidentiality.... *sigh* I am going to miss school. Is it bad I am tempted to pursue a 2nd master/doctorate degree so that I can write a thesis/dissertation that I can actually have published? Given the job market sucking due to the coronavirus epidemic, maybe more school would be the easier option. At any rate, figured getting my dissertation committee's approval counted as having received something that is Macross related. Hope you are all doing well and staying safe, Officially Dr. Shizuka the PhD Cat in less than 2 months when graduation day comes.
Sanity is Optional Posted April 15, 2020 Posted April 15, 2020 Congratulations. Diplomas count as a purchase in my book. As someone who was in graduated into the post-2008 recession, I feel your pain. Worst case, find a start-up to get some experience, they're not picky and you can get some great resume fodder.

Depending on what job you're looking for the market isn't all that bad. I've been offered five the last month despite all the nonsense.
Chronocidal Posted April 17, 2020 Posted April 17, 2020 Yeah, actually, I was going to say.. I can think of a few companies/organizations that might be really interested in the ideas behind your dissertation. Just depends on who you want to work for.
