Gakken85 Posted February 8, 2014 Author Posted February 8, 2014 (edited) Took a few quick pics of WM while I was watching Godzilla vs SpaceGodzilla. Really, really impressive figure. Very heavy, and very well engineered. I like how the arms pull down and rotate, and the diecast in the midsection. Lots of batteries to put in here and things to fiddle with. It has a great finish, look, and feel. Totally worth the money. Also, I pinched the crap out of my fingers with this guy. He has some super sharp edges. Always the sign of a good toy! haha.

lancalot Posted February 8, 2014 Posted February 8, 2014 he look good gakken...might need to get him as well...
wmkjr Posted February 8, 2014 Posted February 8, 2014 (edited) just throwing up random pictures while watching basketball: Very nice. That pic would look cooler if you could somehow get the city backdrop minus the reflections. Like it's on patrol over the city. Nice War Machine Gakken! I wouldn't mind getting the Igor suit.

Gakken85 Posted February 10, 2014 Author Posted February 10, 2014 Thanks! I was playing around earlier and took some shots of this very likely brawl.
AlduinV1 Posted February 10, 2014 Posted February 10, 2014 Hi everyone. I'm a newbie in the forums. Bought my very first macross toy just last week. A yamato 1/60 17D with Super Pack. Right arm is kinda loose though. Any suggestions for a fix to make it tighter?

Right arm is kinda loose though. Any suggestions for a fix to make it tighter? maybe you can try applying some clear nail polish to the joints...dont have a 17, but for most toys it works wonders!
AlduinV1 Posted February 10, 2014 Posted February 10, 2014 maybe you can try applying some clear nail polish to the joints...dont have a 17, but for most toys it works wonders! Thanks for the tip. Does it involve taking apart the shoulder?

happy_spike Posted February 14, 2014 Posted February 14, 2014 More mandrake shopping! I decided to grab a small valk this and grabbed a Bandai VF100 Ozama VF-25. It's a pretty cool toy, though it is VERY floppy so once I transform it to gerwalk I think I'll reinforce it to the pose I want and leave it there. I also saw an interesting one I've never seen before. A "Family Mart" themed VF-25 that my wife grabbed cause she liked the colours, also a pretty interesting piece for a collection. She got a cool Ranka figure too.

How to tell your loved ones that no Armani can beat a Kawamori? What's your secret?

Careful Gakks. Falling in love with The Hot Toys Iron Man line could break you. I lost count on how many designation marks are out in the market already as well as currently being planned. I believe there is some all die cast version in the works. One thing I noticed with IM collectors. One is never enough. Suddenly your out 3000 grand for a small army of them.

How to tell your loved ones that no Armani can beat a Kawamori? What's your secret? Oh no, you misunderstand lol. SHE bought the valk, it's not for me. But I'm lucky I guess, the secret is if you find a who watches Macross marry her lol.

Gakken85 Posted February 15, 2014 Author Posted February 15, 2014 Haha. I have MK 1 and War Machine. I'm pretty specific about what I like, though so I'm not too worried. There are a lot of suits that don't do it for me. The only other piece I want is the Silver cent. (which I have PO'd) And if they rework V or VI with diecast I might jump in. But thank for the warning
technoblue Posted February 16, 2014 Posted February 16, 2014 Captain Okita and his space battleship arrived this week.
skullmilitia Posted February 16, 2014 Posted February 16, 2014 This is my most recent Toy purchase.. Yes it counts, it just swooshes me instead of the normal me swooshing lol. I totally plan on getting DYRL helmet in the future too!

aaajin Posted February 17, 2014 Posted February 17, 2014 (edited) Reigniting old flames..these 2 just arrived last weekend Edited February 18, 2014 by aaajin
BlueSkull Posted February 17, 2014 Posted February 17, 2014 (edited) Finally arrived today. This baby was always a grail of mine, as I was in med school when it first came out, and $200 was a CRAZY of money for me back then. It is everything I hoped for and more. (And I haven't even transformed it yet!) Edited February 17, 2014 by BlueSkull

mechaninac Posted February 18, 2014 Posted February 18, 2014 Just purchased a Yamato 1/60 VF-1A assembly kit with option parts from HK Collectbles... couldn't resit their 55% off sale (< 66 USD, shipped), so I had to give this kit a try for that price. Now to think up what sort of color scheme and livery to apply to it.

Raya1823 Posted February 18, 2014 Posted February 18, 2014 which shipping option did you choose? I think price without shipping is about $46...if +$20 is for EMS, then I'm on it I also ordered the 1A, shipped to me was $66. I think it's coming EMS I'll have to wait and see.
mechaninac Posted February 18, 2014 Posted February 18, 2014 (edited) which shipping option did you choose? I think price without shipping is about $46...if +$20 is for EMS, then I'm on it The sale price was $46.12 (HK$349). Since I have no need to get it right away I chose the cheapest option: Air-mail postage @ $19.30 to the US (their version of SAL), quoted to take 10-14 days for delivery, but if it takes 3 weeks I'm still fine with it. Their other options are Registered Air-mail for $24.19 (Registered SAL), and Speedpost's $37.14 (EMS). And the best part is that, if you process your purchase in USD, you get charged in USD, so there are no Paypal exchange fees to add to your cost. I also ordered the 1A, shipped to me was $66. I think it's coming EMS I'll have to wait and see. That means you opted for the same shipping option I did because my final price was $65.42 on the dot, and I'm in the East coast too.
