Customer Service are top notch. what's particularly awesome was how painless it was. they give you a prepaid shipping label, you drop off at any fedex office. I've purchased from places that don't cover shipping, so it's 10-20 bux out the door... other places charge a restocking fee... and shittier places just don't reply to you, so u stuck! Quote

Also 15-16 June they'll do 10th Anniversary Exhibition They've been posting preview pics (through 1000Toys) of what they're going to be showing, and it's primarily Punk Drunkers figures (plus a new color Robox with dog and Zoichi from Biomega, which I'm very excited about). EDIT: I think I was mistakenly thinking of pics they post from a show this past weekend, so there may still be hope... Edited June 5, 2019 by RavenHawk Oops Quote

I picked up a Rey figure just a few days ago, got it open, and noticed the swivel joint on this was bent at an odd angle; broke off with very minimal manipulation. The pin that held it together looked super brittle, like potmetal? anyways, i'm glad i picked it up from BBTS. they're sending a replacement. Justification for waiting a month+ for a US release if I’ve ever heard one. Quote

Way back about a decade ago, I had an issue with a toy from BBTS, and they took care of the problem for me right away, hassle-free. Since then, I tend to use them unless their price is $20 or more greater than another seller (after shipping is factored in). Quote

jenius Posted June 7, 2019 Posted June 7, 2019 I thought they just showed a silhouette that was obviously the Mega House toy... No idea what that implication would really be. I also don't they have the bandwidth for a VF-1 line, a character line, and another item. Quote

I had just assumed they were repackaging the MegaHouses, as opposed to making something original. I mean, Harmony Gold... Quote
blackconvoy_D01 Posted June 7, 2019 Posted June 7, 2019 (edited) Yeah, you guys are right. It was a few years ago and it was MH reminiscent. Didnt remember the exact details. Edited June 7, 2019 by blackconvoy_D01 Quote

RavenHawk Posted June 7, 2019 Posted June 7, 2019 Guessing that time has made them re-focus their efforts. Quote
RavenHawk Posted June 7, 2019 Posted June 7, 2019 Just came across the FB page for the guy who is MEP Toys: https://www.facebook.com/meiccoms Entertaining 1/16 Legioss there that he's 3d printing. I have to say, I'm not a fan of the faces or proportions of most of the figures (except the Inbit/Invid prototypes), but seeing how genuinely enthusiastic he seems to be about this stuff, it kind of makes me more into supporting his work. Though it's not of interest to me, there's some Southern Cross stuff in the works, too. Quote
jenius Posted June 7, 2019 Posted June 7, 2019 Oh that is cool! I was thinking about doing something similar if I ever have the time. Quote

Knight26 Posted June 10, 2019 Posted June 10, 2019 Guy at a show I was selling my books at had a vintage MIB Gakken 1:18 scale Mospeada Cyclone, the chunky one, asking $45 for it. Should I have grabbed it? This One: http://anymoon.com/blog/?p=1424 Looks like Anymoon says no, but it was MIB. Quote

That's a fair price for it, but, at this point, it's really only for big time MOSPEADA fans or completists. So, basically, if you have to ask if you should have gotten it, then it probably wasn't for you. Quote

I am ABSOLUTELY a stickler for scale with my displays, and all of my MOSPEADA stuff is organized by scale. That said, I do have the one shelf that is the random stuff that doesn't scale with anything else (I'm looking at you, Gakken and Megahouse), so, if this is cheap enough, I might just get one for a background piece on that shelf. Since he is working on a number of Sentinels characters, it would have been nice if the Inbit/Invid actually scaled together. Quote

If that is the case, then it would scale fairly well with the upcoming Sentinel "Alpha" fighter... I'm in, if it's reasonably priced and doesn't turn out to be either vaporware or an utter piece of poop. Quote
