So... Has anyone had an order from AmiAmi seized by customs? My VF-31C has been sitting there for the past 4 days, and that bothers me.

I'm assuming you mean LAX customs?  They're just notoriously slow at times, and the postal service is getting worse and worse about updating tracking information.  I've had stuff appear stuck at LAX for a week before with no updates, and had it show up at my door with no tracking update at all.

Yea i couldnt pass up on the price. Never really been a fan of the SOC Baikanfu design. This might not be as anime accurate but it works with my tastes :)

Ok. I was actually referring to ISC at New York. Post office told me that it's in Customs, but the internet says different. It's been there since the 7th of October, and I was hoping that it would have been here sooner. I need my VF-31C... I need it...

Japan Post Air Small Packet, whatever that means... My Sv-262Hs and LillDraken got here yesterday, and I ordered them a couple days after my VF-31C...

Took a chance on another 3rd party Chinese accessory, this time for Figuarts Tony Stark.  It arrived yesterday and I have to say, I am completely thrilled with this piece.

Nice piece! @no3Ljm, I just searched for it on ebay and it seems to be around $40-$50.  Too much for me!

Thanks Slave IV. ;)

Cool to have one. But it also means that I need to collect those Hall of Armors too (which I don't want it in the first place coz it's expensive) if ever I'm going to get one of this just to complete the setup. Oh well... <_<

Nah just print out a background of them and put it behind the figure :p

Well, one thing you forgot to mention is to get some baby's shoe boxes too in which where I will mount those printed backgrounds, right? :p

Or build them out of lego?

I mostly have the ones from Figuarts so printing it with them on it is not going to be ok. Hehehe. :lol:

As for Lego, it will end up more expensive since I need to find the proper shape and color thru third party sellers. ;)

Thanks! 

Thank you! I'm trying to step up my photo game!

It's a filter in Photoshop. Just need to tweak it to your liking. If you have PS, I can go over the steps with you.  

Cool.  I thought it was PS.

Speaking of Tony Stark, I got a 1/18 Audi R8 for $13.99 to go with my 1/18 Tony Stark since he drove one in one of the movies.  He can also drive the Lamborghini Centenario for an upgrade.  Also got some cool Hot Wheels.

3.75” Tony Stark.

3.75". I thought those are 3.5". Hehehe. :lol:

Thanks sir!

Out of curiosity, those are the same size as the old G.I.Joes figures, correct?

Yeah the Iron Man figures are 1/18 (3.75”) scale and are the same size as GI Joe, Marvel Universe, Marvel Legends 3.75”, etc.

Who made them? Are they ones Hasbro made during Iron Man 2? Some of them look like ones I have from that line but if that's the case I didn't realize they made that many.

In either case I would really like to get a Tony figure to add to my lineup so any info you could provide on that one would be appreciated.

Yeah Hasbro made them and there were a lot of 3.75” armor variants for their Iron Man 2 and Iron Man 3 lines.  I have quite a few but there are actually more that were released.  The IM2 Drones that they released were cool too.

The 3.75” Tony Stark came in the Iron Man 3 Hall of Armor 6 pack like this.

Today I got a 1/18 Corvette Stingray for my 1/18 Black Widow.  B))

A few things that came in today, to help finally expand my Macross collection beyond just valkyries -- plus a curious Hikaru.

Nice, loving the HMR line, it's so much fun to play with.

Got Neca Thrall and Sylvanas for my bday.  This completes my Neca Heroes the Storm collection.  Unfortunately, the line has been killed off and we aren't getting anymore.

That Sylvannas figure looks really good. Pity we won't be getting Tassadar and Alarak.
