ErikElvis Posted November 29, 2019 Posted November 29, 2019 My latest toys. Trying to get back into rc airplanes. E flight ec 1500 and spektrum dx9 receiver.
sqidd Posted November 29, 2019 Posted November 29, 2019 Wow! I haven't transformed my other DX's yet. These are SOOOOOOOO nice! Yamato what? First of three showed up today. Come one other two! COME ON STRIKE PACKS!!! Hopefully some GBP Armor some day too......
Mommar Posted November 30, 2019 Posted November 30, 2019 Man, I LOVE this thing. Just for the accessories!
Lolicon Posted November 30, 2019 Posted November 30, 2019 Recent arrivals while I was away. One of my rare non-Macross figure purchases. Nier Automata was an amazing game and 2B continues the tradition of "androids I'd fool around with." Don't really need Ronin AND Hawkeye though if you want the swords and bow you have to get both. Thanks Bandai! People love being nickel and dimed! 31S armored parts I got for only 12k. Woohoo! I think they released a different version of the Avengers in Japan.

Only what's broken. I have Stig and Rey and didn't have this problem. I tried to swing the bar around underneath the arm and peg it into the backpack. The peg didn't line up. I readjusted the arm, plugged it in, and felt the whole assembly come loose. Looked back at the front and the bit was broken. Not sure why the hell that piece is plastic anyway, it doesn't require friction but it does potentially require resistance to sheering when rotating and being plugged in. I may have a horrible QC model anyway, the fabric in the right shoulder is bunched up and doesn't seem attached under the armor correctly. Several other pivot points weren't lined up straight and I was afraid they would shear off when I tried to rotate them. Edited November 30, 2019 by Mommar

Ryoma Posted November 30, 2019 Posted November 30, 2019 Finally today i got one of my Macross Holy grail. The VF-1S Focker DYRL weathering plus Super parts also weathering. The weathering version of the VF-1 from Yamato is still my favourite despite the DX from Bandai(which is great anyway).I bought them as used but they look perfect to me. Now down with the waterslide decals.

Slave IV Posted November 30, 2019 Posted November 30, 2019 I got this from Amazon Japan That’s how the box looked on my lawn, lol! Box inside seems fine but I haven’t bothered checking closely yet. The box underneath is in much better condition and that’s good since it should be my Blowsuperior.
Pontus Posted November 30, 2019 Posted November 30, 2019 Hope everyone had a happy Thanksgiving and good Black Friday deals. I got a few this year. My wife surprised me when we got to Best Buy whereupon SHE tried to convince ME to get a PS4pro, so I countered with a "might as well get VR too." Both were $100 cheaper. I was hoping to try VR when No Man's Sky supported it. I had no idea it already did. I also found a used Rahxephon action figure going for $100 less than usual. I loved this anime, but didn't wanna spend over $200 on the action figure. The model from Bandai is only $60, but this is so much better, mostly die cast, with clear plastic bits, an excellent figure. And the new Steven Universes movie was awesome, love the show, and the DVD was worth the $15 to see some behind the scenes footage (even if CN never releases their shows in proper sets! GRR!)

Looks more like it got squashed some rather than someone rummaged through it, since the Bumblebee is still in there.

Sanity is Optional Posted November 30, 2019 Posted November 30, 2019 Just got in my package from Tenso: VF-1S from Amazon Japan Arcadia leg replacement parts for the SV-51 Everything looks good so far, I’ll do the leg/foot surgery and unboxing later.
Mommar Posted December 1, 2019 Posted December 1, 2019 Just caught my USPS carrier throwing a package over my wall. I’m on a roll this weekend. Yes, he did break that prototype Excelsior. And then he lied to me when I stopped him in the road about it.

Language barriers and cultural misunderstandings aside, reading stuff like this makes me glad I live in Japan. I assume you've reported his conduct to the proper authorities?

I checked the tracking number for my SV-51 replacement legs from HLJ as I hadn't received them yet. According to the tracking info, it made it all the way to my local post office. However, no delivery attempts were ever made and a couple of days later the package somehow made its way back to Japan where delivery was attempted on 11/30. USPS incompetence at its finest.
sh9000 Posted December 1, 2019 Posted December 1, 2019 1/18 Super Elite KITT and other items came in. I’ll post my haul on Monday.

That doesn't surprise me. My local Post Office hasn't attempted a single re-delivery since August of 2016. They ignore all submissions by the website and door tags left signed.
sqidd Posted December 1, 2019 Posted December 1, 2019 If it makes you guys feel any better my local post office is so bad that the news channels from around here are doing stories about it all the time. My actual driver is pretty good though. As long as it's not her day off and she has a sub I get everything I'm supposed to.

borgified Posted December 1, 2019 Posted December 1, 2019 So you managed to sneak in an order for Agent Gomez without any trouble @nathans82? I'm already on the wait list for Robin Roach and Grub. If I get him, it's a bonus, otherwise I'll get Ghost Rider.
