I never really even realized that the windows were blank, I never thought it looked out of place for some reason, I might have to do that as well.

I'm surprised to see it out already though, did you order direct from Calibre? I'm still waiting on their VF-142 scheme as well.

I got my Bane today too. I'll have to pose him breaking the Figuarts Batman's back. Maybe I can use Megatron to rob a bank to pay for all the upcoming expensive preorders...

Sanity is Optional Posted February 26, 2018 Posted February 26, 2018 This showed up out of the blue, never even got a notification it'd been shipped. I'll put up some actual pictures tonight, along with the DX Chogokin Gipsy Danger and RS Gipsy Avenger that are apparently waiting at my door.
Saburo Posted February 27, 2018 Posted February 27, 2018 (edited) Sanity is Optional, I am looking forward to your pics of Wing Zero and Gipsy Avenger. My GFFMC Wing Zero arrived as well! Edited February 27, 2018 by Saburo

My GFFMC Wing Zero arrived as well! Well, I've only got a potato-phone, but here's some photos. The stand for the Wing Zero, it disappoints me, the darn thing keeps canting off to one side between the stand and the crotch-attachment. The details and gimmicks, however, are pretty awesome. But seriously, the stand attachment needs to be WAY more solid for something with that much hardware hanging off of it. Spoiler The Gipsy Danger rocks, though the armor and design restricts the articulation a bit, especially the shoulders and waist. It's HEAVY, lots of metal. Pretty much everything from the knees to the waist pivot is steel. Spoiler https://i.imgur.com/xbg8G8a.gifv

And if so does your front landing gear door just fall off as well? I'm not sure how I am supposed to keep it in place. Mine does come loose, but Im displaying it with the landing gears on. Maybe double sided tape, or a layer of elmer glue on the edges would do? I did use a layer of elmer's glue for some of the missles points that were loose. I just dab some on the attachment points & let them partially dry for 2-3 minutes before attaching.

Atheonyirh Posted February 27, 2018 Posted February 27, 2018 Amazon still has Bluefin stock available for pre-order at $250, normal retail.
Saburo Posted February 27, 2018 Posted February 27, 2018 @Sanity is Optional Thanks for posting pics, I haven't gotten to opening the Wing Zero yet. That Gipsy Danger looks badass, the Tanker/bat is an awesome accessory!

I need to take a second crack at the Wing Zero, probably going to leave it in bird mode, since that's a different stand adapter, which looks much more solid. I am not regretting the Gipsy Danger at all, I'm amazed the thing's not sold out. Edited February 27, 2018 by Sanity is Optional

no3Ljm Posted February 27, 2018 Posted February 27, 2018 Epic hauls everyone! Got these last week. I finally caved in for Messer's and Max's Hi-Metal R Valks. Got it both on sale at Jungle. I know I told myself I'm never gonna buy Metal Build Freedoms. But here I am getting a KO SF since the original is so expensive. So I'm regretting for not getting both Freedoms from @recon last year. And this Freedom came from @seanami. And to be honest, they should've KO the Freedom as well since majority of KO MB's has tight joints compared to the original.
Saburo Posted February 27, 2018 Posted February 27, 2018 @no3Ljm I told myself the same thing about the Freedom Gundams as well, but I'd like to know what you think of the Strike Freedom KO?

Hey Saburo. Here's what I posted on the Third Party Gundam thread: Quote The joints are tight. QC is not that great IMHO since there's some small gaps on some parts like e.g. Rail Guns and the Wing connectors. I tried to squeeze them but it won't close that much. I'm assuming uneven plastic on pegs and whatnot. The Dragoons is not flushed properly on the wing railings so there's some visible gaps. It's not perfect but it beats Bandai pricing so I'm all good. Also, I'm adding that the things I mentioned above is not noticeable when you're far away from the figure. But once you hold the figure in-hand and inspect it, that's the only time you'll see those. In the end, I'm happy with my purchase. Looks ok overall. And the reason why it's 'ok' for me is that up to now I still don't get the over-stylized of these Freedoms esp in this format so it's still a mind-boggling for me why I bought them. Hehehe.
Froy Posted February 27, 2018 Posted February 27, 2018 (edited) Max has arrived! It might be last valk ever. This hobby has become very very expensive! and ran out of kidneys already too! My hopes are on that Bandai's 1/35 VF-1J. If that happens it will be a "must have" for me. Edited February 27, 2018 by Froy

anubis20 Posted February 27, 2018 Posted February 27, 2018 My Wing Zero arrived along with Mezco Knightmare Batman. Batman is going to sell, they seem to sell for a lot and i would rather get SOC Gipsy Danger with that $$$
General Rasp Posted February 27, 2018 Posted February 27, 2018 So bummed I missed out on the GFFMC Wing Zero. Hoping to get a "reasonable" auction price on From Japan.
ZorClone Posted February 27, 2018 Posted February 27, 2018 Finally opened up TLJ Rey Figuarts and had some fun with another fig

spanner Posted February 27, 2018 Posted February 27, 2018 Nothing Macross related but still new to me.. Added a few more 1:18 cars over the last few months.. Sold off a few others to raise funds for the replacements and to make room to display them..
