But, a very good friend of mine is a master machinist, gun smith and all around incredible engineer. Also a huge SciFi fan. We're talking about making a couple that are fully operational. Probably chambered in 300 Balckout.....with an under slung 12ga for the "grenade launcher". He's made some incredibly trick one off guns before. He just finished a carbon fiber bullpup that is sick! Hopefully we have time this winter. I'd love to pull a Pulse Rifle out at the range. And yell Aliens movie quotes!

Slave IV Posted June 29, 2020 Posted June 29, 2020 Had to open this thing and took a couple quick and dirty shots of it

Sanity is Optional Posted June 30, 2020 Posted June 30, 2020 It slightly triggers me that it goes Alpha->Beta->Delta-Gamma...
anubis20 Posted July 1, 2020 Posted July 1, 2020 June stuff... Sadly all my Bandai web exclusives and Anime Export orders since May are stuck in Japan
Lolicon Posted July 1, 2020 Posted July 1, 2020 Got my money back from NY because those jackasses haven't mastered the art of putting stuff in a box and then slapping a shipping label on it, and used the money to get it from Amazon instead. So, many months later, I finally have the first and only Macross HMR of 2020.

Slave IV Posted July 1, 2020 Posted July 1, 2020 Finally got the Legioss I've been waiting decades for!...And it's Magnificent, Spectacular, Glorious, All That! I haven't transformed it yet but it feels nice and solid so far. The pilot figure feels delicate but not as bad as I was expecting. I am able to pose it, move it around and do what I want without it crumbling into pieces. The details on the figure are excellent! I checked that hip joint and mine seems to be correctly installed too. Right now, I'm a very happy camper...Next step, transforming and see if I feel the same way. Also got the first Tomica cars I've bought since I was a kid. Pretty sweet but I don't feel like they are as good as the old ones I remember and probably won't buy any more. Unless I find a yellow Countach for cheap.
Alex GS Posted July 2, 2020 Posted July 2, 2020 My last pending delivery from Mandarake Nayuta arrived today !
vlenhoff Posted July 2, 2020 Posted July 2, 2020 (edited) Congrats on all your acquisitions! Does the Sentinel Legios feel as good as it looks? Edited July 2, 2020 by vlenhoff
Ryoma Posted July 2, 2020 Posted July 2, 2020 So I got these two boys yesterday...and today it's my birthday. Great timing for once on my life. I have to say i am really happy, especially because of the VF-0D. One of the best toys i have ever seen and one of the reasons i got back into collecting.

So, if you’ve read other comments on it, some people aren’t happy with a few things about it. To me, it came out better than expected and it’s hard to compare with it’s looks since it looks so good so based on that I’d say it feels slightly less good than it looks. The only complaint that I’m not even complaining about on mine is it has very tight shoulders but I know that is an easy fix. Transformation and articulation are all really good.
Mog Posted July 2, 2020 Posted July 2, 2020 It literally took a slow boat from China to get here, but I finally mustered a “few” more troops for the 501st:
Sanity is Optional Posted July 2, 2020 Posted July 2, 2020 (edited) My FromJapan package arrived finally. Arcadia VF-0D PF Yamato 1/60 VF-1S Hikaru (Weathered, MISB) 3x DX 1/48 missile sets Spoiler Took a chance on the Hikaru, as the seller didn't take any pictures with the flap open, but listed it as "new, unopened" for ¥29,000 Luckily it appears to be in pristine shape, no damage to the rainbow canopy, and even the box is almost entirely undamaged. Got a ding on one corner (probably during transit) though. Also confirmed the inner clamshell is still taped shut, and no visible damage or deterioration anywhere.

Jungle only ships via Japan post, the only option they gave me was via Surface or to wait for EMS. So I'm waiting for EMS, as I'd rather not let that one sit on a cargo ship for weeks in the middle of summer.
Slave IV Posted July 2, 2020 Posted July 2, 2020 Oh man! @Sanity is Optional, your 1/60 collection is getting insane lately! Nice!
Sanity is Optional Posted July 2, 2020 Posted July 2, 2020 Fun fact, this is my first Yamato V2 VF-1. And only my second Yamato VF-1. Started collecting during the Arcadia releases, so there wasn't much drive to hunt down older and more expensive Yamato stuff.

I typically will not try to hunt for marked up past releases either. Didn't you grab some Yamato Destroids lately? I was thinking about buying some too but I didn't want to pay the shipping for them.
Sanity is Optional Posted July 2, 2020 Posted July 2, 2020 That was someone else. I do have a single Yamato Tomahawk (Olive, weathered) that I got from Jenius quite a while ago. I have lots of Yamato stuff, just until now it was a single V1 VF-1A Max that's still in it's sealed box.

Tking22 Posted July 2, 2020 Posted July 2, 2020 Figuarts Emperor Palps showed up today, bigger box then I expected too. Beautiful figure, excellent detail throughout, looks good with the guards.

DYRL VF-1S Posted July 3, 2020 Posted July 3, 2020 Before the chaos ensues, I just got these grails today both weathered, both new/unused. Never thought I'd find the SSP weathered with such a limited run.

Got lucky because it was a good price for the two considering what the Valk alone goes for these days. I was a little strapped after paying for the 0D, but didn’t want to pass.
