Yep, that whole wave is out. I passed on Bespin Leia. The Trooper is my favorite so far but I haven’t opened the droid yet. 

Does the snow trooper have proper double jointed elbows like the Original Storm Troopers or Clone Troopers or is it the gimped elbows like the First Order Troopers?

Are you asking about the Range Trooper? Either way, I don’t think either of the Solo troopers have double jointed elbows.

Can't blame you there, the VE-1 is probably one of the best original Yamato releases.  Soooo much tampo printing. ^_^ 

Now, what you do with two of them is swap out parts on one for a combat loadout.  You can snap the missile packs or strike cannons on in place of the tan sensor domes, replace the arm packs with some missiles and a gunpod, and load him down with some manner of missiles.  I think some of the weapons like the rocket pods from the Arcadia YF-19 might look awesome. :)

@CF18 Love the Gundam Sentinel display. What risers are you using? I want to do something like that with my shelf.

From the clear look of it, I'm pretty sure CF18 is using some Acrylic Risers. You can check some over at Amazon:

Thanks Slave IV.

I wish i could have afforded the 1/60 M&Ms. I had to sort out several things with my car, so that was that.

Hope you still get a set.

I’ve been waiting a lifetime for a good Black Manta figure...this ain’t it. 

It makes me wonder if I should cancel my preorder for the Lobo wave.

On the box, it looks like the figure has clear lenses with textured bee like eyes behind them. The actual figure just has crappy paint. Overall, it’s not terrible, just not very good either.

It still looks kind of cool.  I’m considering getting the DC Multiverse 90’s Flash and Lynda Carter Wonder Woman.

Got a Hot Wheels Batmobile and a Marvel Legends Thor Ragnarok set with a better condition box so that I can replace and return the other set that I got for super cheap but in a beat up box.

Just managed to snag for Y 3500 Macross DYRL BD. The "Uncensored" version and boy does the updated resolution floor my "unofficial" HK DYRL sub DVD by Animeking. The scratchy fine art of 1984 Haruhiko Mikimoto has a certain beauty that CGI art of the BD Macross pachinko music videos can NEVER match. The DVD, even with my player's upscaling features still looks smudgy. The BD images looks exactly like the images on the BD case, heck, much much clearer than the pictures on the case.

It really holds out on its own despite it's almost 35 years of creation comparing the quality visuals of these era's sterile CGI graphics.

 

Oh, and Nexx's HMR valk (long azz box!)

Beware the ever present exploding NUNS black triangles on that CF-171! But it is a great looking bird! 

@wolfrider5 - Make sure that the legs also don't crumble if you ever do the transformation on the CF 171 (I know that you displayed it in valk mode).. The missile set (if your going to get it) is not going to be cheap to get, unless you want to get the Maruyama (sp?) version..
