Received a big haul from "From Japan" today!

Got a relatively good deal on everything because of the various promotions they were running (10% off rakuten, 20% off EMS shipping) and no currency conversion fees. 

I'm particularly happy about the low viz limited version. It's MISB and set me back $230 USD shipped via EMS. That was with 1800 yen tax because it was purchased from a store. Not too bad considering someone on the board tried to sell me one for 400 USD :lol:

I think the only 1/48 out there that I don't have, and really want, is the VF-1J stealth super set B))

All of my wildest dreams are coming true; I love you macross :wub: lol

Now that is an amazing haul, from one 1/48 fan to another, Congrats!!!

Nice. The super pack-only set appears on Mandarake from time to time, if you just wanted those.

Actually, I got tired of waiting and decided on getting the cheapest one from Mandarake at Y11000. The last standalone release sold at YJA for Y9600, I believe. And that's without proxy and shipping fees yet. Atleast for Y11000, I got a 'free' Roy VF-1S. ^_^ But seriously, this transforming toy really feels small in my hands. But somehow fits with the rest of my Gundam Robot Damashii's. Hahaha!

Congrats on getting the HM VF-1S Roy.  How much did you pay for the Mospeada book?

Thanks! I got the book for Y5000 at Mandarake. I've been ignoring this book ever since and forgot to buy it when I bought all those VF books last month. So when I saw the last two copies available this month, I grabbed one. There's still one available as I'm replying this, so grab it now. It's a great book. ;)

I only bought this set for the TV Super Packs... 

I have done the same, and more than once. Those 1/100 super parts are getting tough to find at anything close reasonable prices. If you can find a good deal on the HM Roy, it's not that much more than what the standalone super part set is going for. I recently scored a loose, complete HM VF-1S on YJA (through Buyee) for just Y7750 including fees and shipping. I also found a partly-used HM super parts sticker sheet on Ebay for $0.75 :D

Damn that was you on YJA.  Just kidding.  :D  I have one more set of Super Parts coming in but I think I'll stop after that.

I might also do a eBay route for those 1/72 waterslide decals just to get a small U.N.Spacy logo. ;)

Got my Amiami shipment and a set of clear VF-1 parts from Jungle ^_^

Nice! ;)

But why Bandai? Why not use the traditional Setsuna MB Gundam Boxes design to make it consistent? :huh:

What's the plastic quality on those gundam kits?

The one Anubis posted is Metal Build and not regular Gunpla kits. Metal Build are already built. Plastic used on the Metal Build ones are thicker ABS plastics with Diecast Metal for the inner frame.

So I pre-ordered this march 1st, 2016. 16 and a half months later I've finally got her. I've got one of every character in the line now, although there's a couple specific figures I need before I feel like I've got a complete set. still nice to have though.

Nice. You gotta snap some pics of that Nerv Eva-Godzilla. That thing looks so frickin' cool.

The SS/G isn't piloted by Setsuna, right? Or at all, really, if I remember correctly. It was simulation data, same as the Full Saber Quanta, from whatever that side story was. 00V, I think.

SICK!!! looks awesome mate! 

Good to see a 1:18 car back in the thread! :good:

Thanks man! I remember now you were the one that mentioned Otto cars don't have any opening doors or anything and I wish it had that or  at least wheels that can be turned to different angles but otherwise, the detail is fantastic from the exterior to the interior. The closeup pictures I took bring out a lot of flaws but I never noticed anything but beauty in my hands. It's super solid, like a chunk of mostly metal. I'm really glad I got my hands on this one for sure.

Yea Bandai is all over the place with the art boxes for Metal Builds. Personally im not a fan of the cheesy CG art on this one <_<

Shiryu is what i was the most excited to get in that package. I'll mess with it later on today and snap some pics. 

I have no clue whats the story with the 7S, never really got into the MSV stories of 00. All I know is I like the designs and I really want a Metal Build Astrea Type F :wub:

Nice 1/18 car.  The only 1/18 car I'm still considering getting is another 1/18 Knight Rider for $50 shipped that I can easily convert into first appearance KARR.

I should be getting MS Colossus and ML Archangel today!

Thanks! I haven't got any "fantasy" 1/18 cars yet and I'm kinda glad. Would be yet another line of things I have no money or space for, lol!

Glad to see people getting the Nerv Anti-G. Mine should arrive someday and I'm highly anticipating it. Should go nicely with my SHMA and NECA Monsters. My Walkure SHF figures are also packed together on the way to me with 1:60 Hikaru 1S and some other goodies too. Now that I think about it, I have several other packages from all over on the way to me.

Also just got some MLs including Dark Phoenix/Cyclops, Jackal to complete my Sandman BAF and SDCC Commander Gree.
