I haven't ordered from HLJ since their site was updated, so this is really good to know.

Despite its flaws it still has some great moments, and is ultimately entertaining. It's worth a watch.

#10 Hectic Birthday - 2 Only six pages, but an interesting final spread.

Mmmm...chocolate. All this talk of chocolate, but...maybe...just maybe...it's actually bronze they're going for? I'll guess we'll have to wait for the actual release, but I'm going with dark bronze. :)

A few additional photos from the Tamashii Nations event (thanks to Gwyn Campbell's twitter feed for the link): https://ameblo.jp/digitamin/entry-12414396825.html

^Agreed! Looking forward to part two.

Agreed. Sweet indeed!

Would that it were so simple.

Tomahawk, Tomahawk, Tomahawk!

:)

Considering my luck, you're probably right. :)

Perpetual Tomahawk release interruptus.

Make sure to check that you received the correct leg armor pieces!

I attended last year's Super Dimension Convention and was fortunate enough to get to this year's as well. So many great vendors, interesting and informative panels (particularly the Rarest Collectibles of Anime & Mecha with Shawn & Tony), and truly cool people indeed. Getting to meet Jenius from the Macross World Forums (of Scorched Earth Toys/AnyMoon.com fame) was a real treat. An incredibly nice guy. Adrian, Gwyn, and Mike from the SpearkerPod Cast crew were beyond generous with their time...letting me pester them with questions throughout the day and into the night. I was already impressed by Mari Iijima's concert from last year, and thought this year's was even better. The crowd for this year's Idol Contest and Mini-Concert was really into it as well: both last year and this year were truly entertaining. Although last year's emcee (an outstanding Lynn Kaifun) decided to take a break, I thought Burbeari did an excellent job (both energetic and engaging). I'm leaving out a number of other people that I got to meet and talk with, as well all the other events/things that drew my attention throughout the day, and can only conclude by saying it was a day well spent with other Macross fans. Thanks to all involved with putting the convention together. It truly is something special.

^Tochiro, thanks for sharing all these pics. That's quite a gallery of photos. Truly appreciated. Definitely looks like something to check out in person if possible.

Very interesting. I wonder where this pre-owned stock is coming from.

Only half way through at the moment, but it's been another great listen so far.

Right on! I'll definitely stop and say hello.

Jenius, are you going to be at the Super Dimension Convention this year?

Finally had a chance to unpack my VT-1. The color difference between the molded and painted parts is indeed noticeable, but under natural light and a casual view it's hardly remarkable. Despite the color issue I think it's ultimately a great addition to the collection. Really glad I picked this one up.

HLJ shipping notification received. One step closer.

That color difference between the molded plastic and painted parts is really unfortunate. I know there have been other pictures where the difference isn't so noticeable, but it's still disappointing to see it...particularly the divide between the cockpit and the fuselage.

Say what?! :)

HLJ payment confirmation. Just waiting for that shipping notification, and then on the way...

Only 30 minutes in, but it's been quite a listen so far... "The SpeakerPODcast Crew is back from Wonder Festival 2018 Summer. In a word, it was MOSPEADASTIC! So many Mospeada toys and kits. And of course, we’re here to talk all about it this episode. Hope you guys like your toys, because we talk about a lot of them! First, though, we need to catch up on all the recent Macross news and announcements – and there’s a lot to discuss!" http://www.decultureshock.com/speakerpodcast-ep-111-wonder-festival-2018-summer/
