sh9000 Posted February 16, 2021 Posted February 16, 2021 Had a free photo print offer so I got some 1/12 arcade screens printed.
Kanedas Bike Posted February 16, 2021 Posted February 16, 2021 Definitely need to get some pics up of my recent items. I'm good for opening them and moving on, or storing them and moving on. In either instances never do I take pics. -b.
Convectuoso Posted February 16, 2021 Posted February 16, 2021 I got this model kit delivered today: Can't wait to start building it!

It looks amazing! EVERY third-party movieverse figure looks amazing, compared to any official option. Even the straight KOs have more accurate colors, more detailed paint app's, and better prices... The OSKOs have better engineering, more articulation, and more electronics... Most amazing of all are the original figures, designed from scratch at Movie Masterpiece scale and accurate enough to put any previous versions to shame... But what's really amazing is how these enterprising fans keep beating HasTak at their own game, delivering product that's better, cheaper, and often easier to obtain, even. Find me an official Transformer toy that holds up to this level of scrutiny... ...and can actually, y'know, transform.
MKT Posted February 16, 2021 Posted February 16, 2021 I've also been collecting select 3rd party TF movieverse figures around the same time as I do Macross, and more than once I've been blown away on the ingenuity of the transformations. Yes, many seem to feature endless folding parts & overengineered complexity that makes the DX Chogokins VF-171 & SV-262 seem very simple in comparison, but they do achieve their end objective of being rather show-accurate in both modes, despite how the transformation process itself were never figured out by the shows' mecha designers. The one gripe all these while, especially as a Macross collector, was that no one could design a kibble-free underside for the movieverse jets, which is understandably hard since it's another surface to deal with as compared to say, the vehicle-bots since no one really cares about vehicle undersides. However, the recent 3rd party Bumblebee-movie Blitzwing toys have changed that and gives us an F4 Phantom that is essentially kibble-less. I'm so looking forward to receiving that!

Even with the minor flaws, it’s so hard to find one in this condition let alone at all. Now I own two. Might have to sell the other... O man- nice find- that is beautiful!
General Rasp Posted February 16, 2021 Posted February 16, 2021 Got a new Robot Spirits in the mail a couple of days ago from P-Bandai. Can't wait to open it!

My first thought when you said you might sell your other one was "Oh please don't do that!" since I now have some HMRs from @Alphahorizon coming as well as a Evolution dark legioss on the way from Mandarake (about a week after I told my wife I wasn't expecting to get any new mechs until the DX 1D). But if it *does* go up as a listing. I'll look at it for sure. And then start the process of rationalization.
Tking22 Posted February 17, 2021 Posted February 17, 2021 Mezco One:12 Reeve 78 Superman arrived. Didn't expect the circular tin, pretty cool.
sh9000 Posted February 18, 2021 Posted February 18, 2021 (edited) Cool. Mine arrived too and I'll pick it up tomorrow. Edited February 18, 2021 by sh9000

Chronocidal Posted February 18, 2021 Posted February 18, 2021 And to think I used to consider "Do You Remember Love" to be a rather odd title.
sh9000 Posted February 19, 2021 Posted February 19, 2021 Nice. I’ll pick up my 2 Minmeis tomorrow or the weekend. Marvel Legends Firestar x2, Thanos x2, and Retro Kingpin. Mezco One: 12 Christopher Reeve Superman. Star Wars Black Series Carbonized Boba Fett, Jar Jar Binks, and Archive Han Hoth, Clone Commander Cody, Grand Admiral Thrawn, and Luke Hoth.

vladykins Posted February 19, 2021 Posted February 19, 2021 Got an inexpensive Evolution Dark Legioss from Mandarake to sit with my Gakken 1/35s.
vladykins Posted February 19, 2021 Posted February 19, 2021 And a few items from @Alphahorizon's HMR sale: Cannon fodder has a better chance with some OWL armor: And one more Regult for the enemies:

Yeah different stores received different ML stock from Hasbro. Dorkside already received Thanos. @Tking22 also got Superman so it might depend on your mail service.

borgified Posted February 20, 2021 Posted February 20, 2021 Will the recent snowfall that happened in the Texas Area slow down the delivery @Mommar? Don't know if any direct flights from New York to New Mexico will have either cancellations or delays in the flight path (if it does cross over into the area).

It wouldn't be flown either. They usually always go North through Colorado. But the website still says In Processing. I haven't received a shipping notification. It's like they just didn't ship mine.
Pontus Posted February 20, 2021 Posted February 20, 2021 Mucho arigato @Alphahorizon! Everything arrived in very good order. I feel sorta guilty opening the still sealed Monster. And this will be my first Arcadia as well as my first GBP... well first official one. Gonna be a fun Saturday!
dapro Posted February 21, 2021 Posted February 21, 2021 (edited) Couple things I got this past weekend. Edited February 21, 2021 by dapro
borgified Posted February 21, 2021 Posted February 21, 2021 (edited) I actually had to zoom in your pic @dapro... Monsterarts Biollante: Special Colour Edition?? This is going to be good. Now see the prices still skyrocket ever further when others collectors pass over it initially after the actual unboxing. Edited February 21, 2021 by borgified
