Tking22 Posted June 30, 2019 Posted June 30, 2019 Decided I wanted the original six Avengers Figuarts Endgame figures. Paid more then I wanted to for Cap and Tony, but it is what it is, the price is only going to go up. Passing on Ant-Man since I have two Figuarts of him already, passing on Ronin too, but Hawkeye and Hulk are both pre-ordered, just need a "The Dude" Lebowski Thor.

Slave IV Posted June 30, 2019 Posted June 30, 2019 Damn, I hope the BAF Stan Lee comes out in some form someday.
tekering Posted June 30, 2019 Posted June 30, 2019 Just picked up a 1:18 scale diecast 1967 Volkswagen Beetle as an accessory...
nathans82 Posted June 30, 2019 Posted June 30, 2019 This week's haul, went a little crazy on Transformers. If anybody has this Macross Hasegawa 1/72 Kit, let me know if there issues I should watch out for.
sh9000 Posted June 30, 2019 Posted June 30, 2019 (edited) Nice haul. Congrats on Mojo. That figure still looks good with newer Marvel Legends. I skipped that Captain Britain though and I’m hoping a classic Excalibur version gets released. Edited June 30, 2019 by sh9000

Just need a Toy Biz Sentinel and a Galactus and I'll have all the Toy Biz Villains I need.

Both types look great. I’ve got 3 Hasbro Sentinels and 4 Toy Biz Sentinels. I might get rid of 1 Toy Biz version so if you want it let me know.
Ignacio Ocamica Posted July 1, 2019 Posted July 1, 2019 Got the VF-1D HMR. Some quick cellphone pics at the office:
Alto-23 Posted July 1, 2019 Posted July 1, 2019 (edited) I probably should have bought a VF-25F but I heard you can’t go wrong with these either lol Edited July 1, 2019 by Alto-23

Strange standards you have there.

Let's not throw the baby out with the bathwater. As to the weird pronunciation - it bothers everyone, have you never watched Trevor Noah? Edited July 2, 2019 by Podtastic
vlenhoff Posted July 2, 2019 Posted July 2, 2019 (edited) Good stuff there @Alto-23 What's wrong with Trevor Noah? I love that guy. If you ever leave the area where you grew up, you will have an accent. It is how it is. OMG so much good stuff in these pages Edited July 2, 2019 by vlenhoff

HardlyNever Posted July 3, 2019 Posted July 3, 2019 What fresh hell rabbit hole have I just stepped in:
Sanity is Optional Posted July 3, 2019 Posted July 3, 2019 22 minutes ago, HardlyNever said: What fresh hell rabbit hole have I just stepped in: Good kit, but falls apart a bit too much for my tastes. The MG RX-78 Origins is much sturdier. Coming from someone who came the opposite direction: model kits->figures

Coming from someone who came the opposite direction: model kits->figures Yeah, I was talking about Gunpla in general (this is my first). I did watch several reviews between the ver 3.0 and the origins. I liked the way the ver 3 looked just a little bit more, and it was a little bit cheaper, so I went with that. I won't be handling it much, anyhow. I'm just hoping I can keep this new rabbit hole pretty limited, for my wallet's sake.
Grimgerde Posted July 3, 2019 Posted July 3, 2019 2nd Max 1J to complement the PF version. 3rd PF VF-0s specifically to saunter around in the reactive armor. (practice foil/epee in the background not new)

Grimgerde Posted July 3, 2019 Posted July 3, 2019 I'd always know what was(n't) beneath the armor, and wouldn't be able to sleep at night.

You'll be fine if you stick to one rule: Don't buy another one before you finish building what you've got. Personally, I found that buying too many at once would just lead to model building fatigue, and I'd wind up with half a dozen kits just sitting there in boxes for months on end. Remember, with Gunpla, the stuff is basically always in production, so you don't need to go and buy it right now for fear of missing out. There's no late-night preorder madness for Master Grade kits the way there is with, say, DX Macross stuff. Just think about it - that next kit you want? You can buy it six months from now without an obscene 300% markup! You can take your time with it. There's almost no comparison to Macross collecting.
vlenhoff Posted July 4, 2019 Posted July 4, 2019 (edited) Finally out of the box and in all its glory: Viva Miria! Again, thanks to Shizuka, here is the couple together. I had to place them with the 1/60 Zero custom, since the HMR is taking over some of the display's real state. The red used in this Miria Arcadia is the prettiest of them all imho.

You can buy it six months from now without an obscene 300% markup! You can take your time with it. The only exception is P-Bandai kits. Which typically get only one production run (some get reruns), and also *may* increase in cost after production. P-Bandai are the only kits I buy anymore outside of sales.
