Expand Wow your pic there makes it look way more appealing than all the professional promo pics from way back when it came out. Now I wish I had bought one. Hey where's the gunpod?

Expand LOL I was just pulling, uh, I forgot whose leg I was originally pulling. Really, both Kakizakis are hard to find now, even though they were major shelf warmers back in the day.

The gun pod was put aside as I was fixing a slightly displaced door flap. Should have taken a photo of that too. It has some matching gold details that make it a bit different from all other gun pods. Edited April 19, 2019 by kkx

Expand I’m pretty sure I bought my dyrl kaki at a bargain basement price when they were shelf warming. Glad I did now.
tekering Posted April 19, 2019 Posted April 19, 2019 Got another 1:48 Stealth VF-1J -- with Super/Strike parts -- so I could display the FAST packs on my Low-Vis VF-1A... I might just have to give this one the "Lolicon" treatment. On 4/17/2019 at 10:20 PM, Lolicon said: Are you using the Wave hangar sets? Or something else? Expand It's mostly WAVE Hangar parts, yes... although it's built around the vintage "Macross Factory" model kit, and also includes some Zoids diorama sections: ...and NOVA "Ubiquitous" panels (for the ceiling).

I need to assemble my armored factory...just nowhere to put it at the moment.

borgified Posted April 19, 2019 Posted April 19, 2019 @tekering and @kkx - I have another 1/48 valk on the way (from Manda) and pics of it will be here upon receiving it.

Expand Not quite all though. The valks - 1/48 Angel Bird, Max with Supers and the Kikizaki (with missing parts) is still listed there. The GBP parts and the SSP (regular version) is still listed as well. I'm sure that someone will nab them eventually.
Lolicon Posted April 19, 2019 Posted April 19, 2019 Pretty sure I've spent more at Mandarake than any other Japanese shop. It's thanks mostly to them I've been able to fill in pretty much the entire back catalog of Yamato releases, long out of production. I can live without the VF-X and Cavaliers, which are the only ones I'm missing, I think.
Mommar Posted April 19, 2019 Posted April 19, 2019 I bought these Egg Attack figures because they’re covered in cloth but are done up in proper comic book style colors, unlike Mezco who add weird additional things just because, to see if the argument the Mezco’s would look too plain if done up in proper comic style. I think there is something to that argument. The butterfly joints on these things are NUTS. Impressive articulation. But for the price both the fabric and stitching are terrible.

These just came in today, I had thought they were lost for good but they finally arrived after two months. I had to open up Merda right away!

Plenty of item on the to buy list still. But have to slow down a bit after all my recent scores. Good luck with the hunt.
Pontus Posted April 20, 2019 Posted April 20, 2019 (edited) Ooooooh boi! I got a giant toy of one of my favorite giant robots in the mail today. I hope they bring Pacific Rim back to theatres someday. It wasn't a great movie, but it's so awesome to watch on the big screen about 4 rows from the front! Even a big TV just doesn't do it justice. Unfortunately, I was a bit disappointed by the lack of articulation. I also need to address some connection issues in the lighting. Looks awesome tho! Edited April 20, 2019 by Pontus
