Been waiting on the side about getting one. Just napped one from amazon.jp, 10,250yen  shipped.

Congrats.  The cheapest I’ve seen one there was 9440 JPY a while back.

Ha, I've done the same in the past. take parts off which look terrible or paint them or customize them. I will stay idle in on my pursuit for a batwing for now. Priorities are a thing currently, so i'll just browse around.

I love that little racing Skyline and transporting truck, so classic! I like the little diorama at the back. [printed on the card]

I have been thinking of building very small 1/100 diorama, with only a few references and buildings, but it is all plans so far. 

Yeah it looks better without the extra parts and stickers.  I’ve got ideas for dioramas as well.  I’ll build one after you start one.

Abosolutely fantastic figure. Glad to finally have it in hand. 

Footnote: also got my DX VF-1 missiles but that is old news for most here, lol. 

Nice one! Definitely have this guy on my list for Santa.

What's the texture of that cabinet like?  The texture on those prints looks kind of rough.  Is it 3D printed or what?

It seems to be made of balsa wood and foam.  It looks good to me and I still like it.  For the price and how simple it is to make, I wouldn’t recommend it to everybody as some people might be disappointed.  I’m going to hold off on buying more for now.

Congrats!  That’s a good one to start with.  I’m collecting doubles of the F-14’s to keep a set MISB.  Already have a spare F-14A Jolly Rogers, just received a spare F-14A Vandy 1 and F-14D Bounty Hunters, and a spare F-14A Tomcatters is coming in.

Rock and Roll! I have an F-4 and F-15 on the way. I'll be happy rounding out my set with the F-16, F/A-18, and the F-22 if I come across one.

Cool.  Which deco F-4 and F-15 did you order?  There’s an F-16CM still available on Amazon JP and CDJapan.

Thanks for the heads up.  There's a guy on ebay charging less and his stuff looks 3D printed.  The scans look better imo.

The F-15C Eagle Oregon and the F-4J US version.  I have a couple of the F-16s and F/A-18s bookmarked on ebay, but I will be out of the country towards the end of the month for a week, so I don;t want any orders arriving while I am gone.

Cool.  The 8% ebay bucks offer just passed so I’ll see about getting a few when another ebay offer hits.  The other guy has a Robocop cabinet so I might still get it from him.

Nice.  I have both of those and I like them.

Couple of purchases just made it here via SAL.

One of the two immediately makes music run through my head, and I think we all know which one.

Also not a recent purchase, but I finally unboxed my premium SDF-1, put in all the screw covers, and stuck it in a detolf.

@Sanity is Optional The red one? Am I right? Yoko Kanon's music is so good.

I have a kit, but have no time to build it yet. Yours looks great.

3, 2, 1, Let's Jam.

It's not a kit, it's the Bandai Popynica Damashii Swordfish II reissue. My backlog of kits is already bad enough without adding more to it.

Of course, now that it's here, I'm tempted to pre-order the 1/48 Good Smile one that's coming out, but damn that price tag...

I looked up the one you have. A few options available for about 9000Yen. Tempting.

Then I look at the Good Smile version and damn it looks super nice. :( Visiting this site is really bad for my wallet.

HLJ has the Popynica in stock for ¥7,600 right now. CDJapan has it for ¥8000. Hobby search has it for ¥8000.

And yeah, that 1/48 is reeeeeeeally tempting.

Thanks for the heads up.

The Popynica is also available for 6600 Yen from AJ. I guess shipping is the usual 1200, have not put it in my cart to check. But what I have in my cart is the 1/48.

31385 shipped. Trying to resist pulling the trigger on this. I does looks damn nice. The weathering and the guy metal color looks so attractive.
