I snagged a Nora from Manda sometime in the beginning of this year (don't know which month exactly) as l prefer this version than compared to Ivanoff's or the Mass production ones. I have Ivanov too but once Arcadia finally releases their 51 I’ll probably replace the yamato’s. Especially the Ivanov since the wings on mine are a little floppy.

Especially the Ivanov since the wings on mine are a little floppy. I had all three of the Yamato examples but recently let them go. That's the plan for me also, just waiting on the pre-order date to come. But its definitely got to be a significant improvement and hopefully legs don't fall off like what other Arcadia renewals suffered.. Edited April 15, 2018 by spanner
kajnrig Posted April 16, 2018 Posted April 16, 2018 When are they going to make figures using those costumes??? They're so much more interesting than what we got in the series.

sh9000 Posted April 16, 2018 Posted April 16, 2018 Got another Marvel Legends Domino so that I can return the other sealed on that I have that had bad paint apps.
spanner Posted April 17, 2018 Posted April 17, 2018 Wasn't going to bother with any of these but I found a Calibre Wings Robotech F-14S pretty cheap locally on ebay.. Was the only bidder. The seller only had the S variant for sale which worked out well as I think its the better looking version. Had a look at the other versions including the M&M's but they are all pricey little buggers eh!
Sanity is Optional Posted April 17, 2018 Posted April 17, 2018 Got a box Sat, and another 2 today. Good haul.
hachi Posted April 17, 2018 Posted April 17, 2018 I wish Bandai would make the HG kits for the original Pacific Rim robots. Those had much more personality. But they'll probably finish the DX Chogokins before they release kits. I guess I'll have to wait...

At first I thought the green packet is a 'wasabi' flavored something. Only to read the label afterwards that says Caramel Corn(?). It's kind of weird to color a package green with caramel flavored snack. Hehehe. By the way, what's 'THAT' grey colored box on the top left? I'm not familiar with that apparently.

They're pretty good, green tea is more of an accent and aftertaste. As to the 31a, I've still got 2 on order, but shelled out for this open box one since can't be sure if they'll ever show. Definitely been opened and at least partially transformed, plus it's got a topcoat defect in the usual spot.
Shizuka the Cat Posted April 17, 2018 Posted April 17, 2018 (edited) A few new arrivals came in the mail today... HMR VF-1J Armored Valkyrie (Hikaru), Matchbox 1/3000 SDF-1, and the Tamashii stand. (kind of wishing I got the clear stand instead, but oh well) Edited April 17, 2018 by Shizuka the Cat
vt102 Posted April 18, 2018 Posted April 18, 2018 Got some goodies while in Japan. There was so much more I wanted to buy, but I had to refrain.

Did you get it at a reasonable price? These are quite hard to find nowadays.

I am not sure if you would call 17,000 yen before shipping a reasonable price or not... but Mandarake's price seemed cheaper than what I was finding on eBay.
derex3592 Posted April 18, 2018 Posted April 18, 2018 It’s really starting to hack me off that I didn’t snag one of those upon original release....I have the original Yamato 1:60, but now i kinda want the HMR one as well..
F360 Posted April 18, 2018 Posted April 18, 2018 bunch of Valks came in today. was mainly looking for the VF-31a, ended up with some more valks, more items incoming too. When I'm actively hunting for something, I buy many other things on the way.

I got the HMR VF-1J Armoured at 18k yen from Sahra couple of months ago, as I passed on when it was first released then made my mind to get a copy before it becomes vapourware. Umeda had it for 6k to 8k yen (box re-sealed/open used/box damaged) back then and the last price was 20k yen at various locations. I'm the opposite of you @derex3592. I had the Yammie V.1 years ago, sold it and trying to get the Yammie V.2/Arcadia VF-1J Armoured now (preferably the Arcadia version this time). Maybe I'll just end up getting the PE version (if it does get released). I know that the Yammie V.2 VF-1J Armoured had problems with the exploding shoulders. Isn't that the same problem that you had with one of your Yammie V.2 valks @Shizuka the Cat (hopefully that it wasn't the VF-1J Armoured) and you used the Shapeways replacement correct?

Yeah, the used Yamato v2 VF-1J I bought on eBay was cheaper because it had the broken shoulder. Fortunately, the process of replacing the shoulder with the Shapeways piece was pretty easy, and cheaper than buying a non-broken one.

Bahamutzyro Posted April 18, 2018 Posted April 18, 2018 My stick is on its way from ny! Looks good. I have the beagle toynami one but I like the size on these. I hope they make lancer and the girl one lol

It will probably be the first thing I do once I receive mine.
