  1. Not sure what the implication is re: my 3 Roys. I placed the order without issue. So very sorry for besmirching their good name.
  2. Well damn. Not liking what I am reading about NY. I have 3 Roys on PO with them. I did receive their email with the anticipated release date a week (or more) ago, but my nuts are creeping up into my throat after reading through some threads on here.
  3. I appreciate the attempt at moralizing, but that is - at this point - less of an issue than their response to my request for a refund.
  4. I had three SSPs paid pre orders on NY since last summer. After reading about the issues with EMS, and NY's lack of proactivity in reaching out to people, I kindly requested a refund through a ticket, yesterday. They essentially told me to gtfo - store credit is the best they can do. WTF! Not sure what my options are at this point. I had paid with PayPal (using my Visa card as the funding source). It's too late to put in a claim with PayPal - is it worth even trying to do so with my Visa?
  5. In for two of these. If they do a PF edition afterward, I'd be open to irresponsibly purchasing one of those as well.
  6. Got around to opening my pair of VF-1S this weekend. Gorgeous. Bring on the Roy and brownie by next summer!
  7. NY # 7020XX, ordered/prepaid back in June. Now "preparation in progress" status.
  8. 1)VF-25 2)VF-0 (S or A...not a fan of the D) 3)VF-1 4)YF-19 In general I like the "S" versions best, and A/CF versions 2nd best. As for armors...The VF-1 generally pulled all of them off the best, IMO. The VF-25 comes in as a close second in that regard. All of the others look better naked.
  9. Nice, I just ordered a pair of the Kestrels, myself. Snagged another 1/100 F-35 or my office desk, as well.
  10. Fantastic pic! - though I did chuckle when I noticed Ozma needed the aid of the stand to keep him vertical.

    Hi-Metal R

    That Destroid Monster that has been tempting me on Manda for the past two weeks finally sold. My wallet thanks whichever of you SOBs that nabbed it! There is also a GBP-1J out there that I wish someone would grab before I have a 1/2 bottle of Jameson in me one evening and finally bring him home to his forever family. Side note: I finally broke down and snagged the Super Ozma armor with the "musty smell" that has been out there for longer - That concludes my foray into Frontier for 2019 (next year all bets are off, though!)
  12. I've decided that the VF-25 is my favorite model of valk. I definitely agree that a slightly updated version would be very welcome - maybe even see Arcadia's take on it. Yes, yes...fantasy land.
  13. My VF-31 itches have now all been scratched. The 25S Armor is truly impressive. Just need to grab Ozma's Super Armor at some point and I will have that box on my list checked, as well.
  14. VF-0A and Nora seem like the logical candidates after the VF-4. Beyond that, I'm hoping for the VF-11 or reissue PF GBP VF-1J. The desire for a Brownie 1A is implicit, but seems unlikely anytime soon.
  15. Really looking forward to that Super Hornet. Sweet paint job on the Kestrels. I was intending to get the previously-released F/A-18, but this is the more attractive option. ON a side note - not sure if I should thank or curse the board's recommendation of Mandarake, Just dropped way too much $$ on my first purchase, and have a half dozen more items on my favorite list,
  16. Fill those missile ports with cold brews or rolled up tee shirts, and it would be ideal for the ball park.
  17. Thanks for the info regarding Mandarake. I honestly had never heard of them before, but you fellas are all singing their praises - so I will keep an eye on the place.
  18. Well, you CAN pick up a VF31-A for $five hundo amd change , as someone who will pay "ridiculous prices" https://order.mandarake.co.jp/order/detailPage/item?itemCode=1089495328&ref=list&keyword=Vf-31&lang=en Just made a series of ridiculously priced purchases. Plus I have a "no used item" policy.
  19. How is that Banshee? (Please tell me it is awful and not worth the money!)
  20. I'm like the polar opposite: If there is a character/mecha I really dig, I tend to grab multiples. Completing squadrons or teams really never is a goal of mine, but I will absolutely pay ridiculous prices to make sure my mind rests assured that I have gotten enough versions of my favorites. That said, having 3 Messers and 2 Arads satisfies me with this mold. But if I ever have a chance at a new release of the A....I all over that SOB.
