Wooooo finally got my first set of 31Js. The one from NY took over 5 weeks to arrive via SAL registered :o

I cant do expensive stuff via SAL... 6 to 7000 yen sure. I just get too nervous with expensive items although ive never had any problems with SAL. Now that you mention it my replacement 31F was sent via SAL and its still in Origin Post :wacko::lol:

Haha I always use SAL registered if I can. 90% of the time I receive the items in about 2 weeks. This is only the second time in years that it's taken an extraordinarily long time to receive a package. The first time it happened was at Christmas so I wasn't too worried, but I was definitely sweating this delivery :lol:

since it's been in transport for 5 weeks, who know where it was stored, hot? cold?  might be a good item to open them and check for sticky residue from those protective clear sheets, if any.

Nice Shuttle Tydirium vlenhoff.  What scale is it?  

Damn I remember when I used to have a bunch of the large Star Wars vehicles for the 3.75" figures like the Shuttle Tydirium, AT-AT, and 2 1/2' Millennium Falcon.  They were all MISB though and the huge boxes took up too much space so I sold them all.

It is Star Wars miniture Xwing game ship. It is 3d printed and it is very detailed, and it comes with a stand. I was about to get the action fleet version, but I always thought it looked poorly detailed. I came across this one, and i'll use it as a replacement for the action fleet one.

I've seen a layoff talk and pictures about those lately. Seems like a game and set of vehicles made for me! Especially considering how big and expensive the Chogokin SW vehicles will likely be. I should grab some but sure it's a deep rabbit hole one I start.

I don't know if this counts a new toy I hope I'm not breaking any rule:unsure:, but thing is I got this last week as a Bandai Model kit of Masterchief and today I start/finished the assembly, this is my first kit I build and my entry to start building Gundams, did a bit of sticker custom cutting for the base and putting those metallic lines in there, also I placed that Bandai logo in the middle.

I've never had much interest in the X-Wing tabletop game, but the little ships are top notch for the most part.  I've been meaning to pick up the Falcon and Shuttle for a while, but I've had the Tantive IV set for a while, and it's probably the best mass-produced representation that ship has ever gotten.

Far as what I've been picking up, I'm worried I'm about to fall down the third-party transformers rabbit hole.. my two newest acquisitions.. and yes, that's the DX VF-31J. :lol:

Oversize KO MP3? Looks good!

Im looking forward to see if Maktoys Seeker is worth getting. So far, I haven't seen a Seeker design worth buying but hoping that is it. Bot mode looks good but the flaps under the thrusters in jet mode are killing me.

Yep, it's the Robot Heroes CG-02.  I might have to get myself a Thundercracker in the near future too, but these are a little too big to collect them all.  It's a revised MP-11 mold, but with the bigger legs sadly.  My ideal mold would rework the original MP-03 to use the newer fold out heels, but keep the slimmer legs, and fold the tails and stabs up into a backpack like some of the much smaller seeker molds do.

Honestly, seeing what people are doing with transformers is making me seriously consider getting into designing my own. I know I could work some magic on a custom seeker mold, and I spent half of the afternoon today brainstorming how to make an MP-level Dreadwing combiner out of an F-16 and Tornado. :lol:

Do it if you have the skills! Like I said, I'm not happy with any seeker I've seen yet and haven't bought any because of it...Won't even pay for the KOs. Maketoys seems to have done an incredible job on their bot but just like their Jazz, they have some strange kibble in alt mode that ruins it.

Got my HLJ loot, Spartan included like everyone else :lol: Im super pumped about Figma TP Link and the Myth Cloth EX Saga Saga Premium Set  :wub:

 

No Figma Zelda? She's really nice too, I got her and DX Link Saturday, Figma really has come a long way since the old Skyward Sword Link figure. Night and day difference really, sculpt, articulation, everything is better.

i think only 60-80 of the tan color super packs exist in the world:huh:

Hmmm. So it's safe to assume that I can buy 2-3 Valks for the price of an unpainted Unicorn, right? :rolleyes:

Thanks David. ;)

VERY happy right now, came home to this absolute holy grail, the Chogokin GX-72 Megazord! Once again, I waited for the US Bluefin release, I really wanted my US packaging like with Voltron.

Recently picked up a variety of TF:MP KOs. Despite having to do little fixes here and there on the majority of them, I'm pretty happy. Certainly helps that I paid either half or under half for all of them. Still debating on if I want to continue fixing Soundwave though, since they missed a gold paint application on his left knee.

If you like the regular release you should try to find the SKL Final Count ver. It is an excellent figure. The SRC line is really good and I love all the figures I have from the line.

 I did some research on the Mazinkaizer SRC line, and I got this one cause it was a bit cheaper and also is the Color version, those images doesn't do justice at all in how impressive the figure looks, and yes I will try to get the SKL Final Count ver. cause after knowing the insane high quality of the figure  I know is worth every penny :D

Finally bit the bullet and bought this. Double points for being my first ever anime character statue. Now just waiting on shipping charges.

Same here! I bought it a few months ago but it's my first anime statue (I think) and probably my last. it's nice but I figure I'd rather have action figures with unlimited poses.
