D... ...but it cried out for paint, see. Now, it looks more like a tank to me. I just need to source 1:12 decals and tank accessories now... That looks amazing! I knew you were an amazing modeler. Now you just need Team Anglerfish figures. I have the Ausf. H and have been wanting to also repaint it for ages now.
Kuma Style Posted April 26, 2019 Posted April 26, 2019 @tekering That is beautiful. Got the 3A DLX Bumblebee and it's just fantastic. Prople either like movie designs or they don't but as a product it's fantastic. I've never seen diecast content like this on something this size and the articulation abd balance are incredible.

sh9000 Posted April 28, 2019 Posted April 28, 2019 Marvel Legends MCU figures (larger sized 1/12 figures) seem to pretty good overall with likenesses also. I’ve got too many to stop, switch over, or blend in other toylines with them.
kajnrig Posted April 28, 2019 Posted April 28, 2019 Any of you ever have USPS misplace a package? How have you gone about trying to find it again? I've got two packages that last updated nearly two weeks ago now, in the Chicago area. (I'm in Wisconsin.) I've filed a mail search request (on the 22nd or 23rd), but haven't gotten a status update yet. I'm worried someone in Chicago might have misread the shipping label and routed it back to Japan; this is the first time I've had this happen. I don't want to entertain the thought that someone jacked the mail while it was in transit from Chicago to WI. In the time since the last update, I've had two other packages find their way through customs, one by boat and the other by EMS. The former was delivered yesterday and the latter will be so by tomorrow. Meanwhile, these two are still just "In Transit."

I was under the impression you had to have the shipper issue the request or else the post office ignores it. I tend to avoid using USPS whenever possible. Though in a few instances where UPS misplaced a package I've found finding the CEO's contact info. on a charity list and contacting them directly tends to get things moving rather quickly.

You'll have to notify the sender so they can put in a request to find out what happened to it. If it turns up lost, you'll be reimbursed (if it was insured). The process could take months to complete, so if it's something you really wanted and you don't think it'll be available a few months from now, you might ultimately end up having to buy another one.

Thanks. I was able to put in the request online as receiver. If they only respond to sender requests, why even bother offering that option on their website? Ugh. Thanks for letting me know; I'll see if there's a response by Tuesday, then let FJ know, see if they can put in a second request for me.
DYRL VF-1S Posted April 29, 2019 Posted April 29, 2019 While I wait for my VF-1D to arrive, slapped some fresh labels on a G1 Megatron I recently picked up.
Mommar Posted April 30, 2019 Posted April 30, 2019 I rarely care about these things but my first impression was this is rather attractive packaging. UPS almost beat DHL to the punch until they lost both Thanos and Count Dooku in albuquerque today...
Mommar Posted April 30, 2019 Posted April 30, 2019 Looking at this figure out of the package it’s a real shame. This is the closest she’s looked to her comic counterpart. It’s a fantastic costume design.

Yeah...I stopped buying multiples for most MLs. Too many of them and again, they almost always go on clearance. I'm worried about ever finding Silver Sable, Beast and Jubilee though so I might bite the bullet on getting cases to get them
anubis20 Posted April 30, 2019 Posted April 30, 2019 Figuarts Thanos just arrived... but after seeing the movie i was disappointed to find out this figure isnt movie accurate.

Mommar Posted April 30, 2019 Posted April 30, 2019 Shoot, NY not only mixed up the tracking numbers but got the classification for one of the figures wrong and it’s been held in California for four days. So here is what I thought was Thanos.
Sanity is Optional Posted May 1, 2019 Posted May 1, 2019 I have no clue where I'm going to put this thing until I move. Spoiler

Pretty cool and they glow in the dark. If the set were cheaper I might get it. Also saw a bunch of Jumptroopers but passed on them.
Saburo Posted May 1, 2019 Posted May 1, 2019 I had actually gotten the Kiryu MFS-3 awhile back but forgot about it, till I was reorganizing toy boxes. The OG Jaegers, Mechagodzillas.
