@slaginpit Do you have a sales thread?

no. I sell my stuff on Kijiji locally. Its easier for me there. I turned out about $2400 in the last 2 months

Cash is king. The whole shipping thing is exhausting. Also Ebay/Paypal sucks. Had an account for 20 plus years and it was ok until they went with that Global Shipping program. When I tell people how much to ship to USA and overseas the cost is so ridiculous most US and Overseas buyers just change their mind. Hence my desire to move to the US. 

I think I need to purge another 30% of my stuff

I recently saw a pic of a guy who too two Detolf's and put them together to make one that has a internal width twice as wide. He cut the wood in the base/header down to where the front/rear glass butted up against each other. Removed the inner glass (divider) and then screwed the base/headers together (so you couldn't see it). It looked pretty darn good and really opened up the shelves so bigger objects would fit in there. He even re-used the shelves. If you wanted to go one step further you can get glass cut that would span the entire width of not much $$$. It will take some work. But there are no glass display cases with that sort of volume anywhere for $120 (price of two Detolf's).

IM trying to purge so much due to collecting over the years. 

2 More detolfs and im out

I got rid of 20% and I still need to purge to make it look clean

hence the mess

Okay, full 3P Sazabi is in the house and it's not bad for a first time company. This is definitely, the MG + conversion kit with metal parts and really nice paint applications. After putting some bright lights on him the red is all painted. Most of the joints are sufficiently stiff, except the inner shoulder joints which are not strong enough to hold up the shield in some poses. The funnel pods sadly do not close all the way when the funnels are inserted. Plastic quality feels okay for the most part, but the side skirts are a little on the thin side for me. The backpack can pop-off when you're messing with the fuel tanks, but it stays on fine with mild- moderate handling. The LED in the mono-eye is red, but they give you an optional yellow LED, but you have to trim and solder the LED onto the toy if you want to switch them out. All of the panels open up like the MG and all of the insides are painted beautifully. Overall, this is a fine 1/100 Sazabi that you can pose occasionally and put with your other MBs or GFFMCs for the time being. Hopefully, the 2nd batch corrects the LED color and tightens up the backpack connection, funnel carton and the inner shoulder/ chest joint.

Interesting, is that actually from Steel Legends?

If not, is it assembled/painted, or just raw plastic/resin?

Dont worry announced a year ago it will finally be ready to ship 2 years from now. Sort of like Toyworld and this 

WHAT HAPPENED TO THIS???

I think MC just abandoned this

The following question is going to show how out of the loop I am but.... is that the new or old BB? If it's the new maybe it's kind of a win?

Regardless, I've had to get replacements and missing stuff from them before and they're good about doing it but they take forever. Like, legitimately 2-3 months later randomly showing up with no tracking ever having been given. I hope you have better luck in that regard but they'll get you sorted. That sucks.

 

yeah but its been a number of times. Which seems to me now they have a good mass of customers they are starting to get sloppy

And i think this is the new Bee. Its not what I wanted and its the knockoff which I dont want eaither the plastic is crumbling just sitting on my desk. 

SO I either want my money back and I will reorder through Robot Kingdom which is far superior or TF-Direct

ShowZStore is starting to falter

I ordered and paid in full and after a month to get this 

I got this 

And people wonder why I dont use TAOBAO 

hahahaha and a knock off wrapped in smelly plastic 

Never happened with BBTS, Robot Kingdom, AMIAMI, or NY.....

oh here is the box in a box in a wrapping

@no3Ljm @Kuma Style

Thanks for the info guys! I'm in medical school, so I tend to get overly concerned about random things that don't hit others radars (which isn't always a good thing lol). 

Lead (in general) has toxic properties when ingested or inhaled, and tends to be a higher concern for kids or pregnant women as it is neurotoxic. I doubt the paint on a single figure poses all that much risk even if it is lead paint, but it may be worth it for those interested in this third party stuff to test the paint on them with those cheap lead test swabs you can get in department stores. 

I have been concerned about this and I will look for this testing kit and do it and report back

I got my first half of Sazabi in today. So far what joints I could mess with are tight. Tampo-printing is good, but could be a little sharper. Paint is crisp and well-applied. Plastic quality feels good, not too thin, not overly thick. LED works just fine. Hopefully, when I get part 2 and put him all together he'll be great. 

come on !!!!!!! 

UGH.....Welcome to canada. Where you package takes 3 trillion years. 

ok shots fired....lol

toy sophists in 3, 2, 1.......

I dont care about scaling 

I dont get why people do. The bigger the better. 

If to save costs to make a great figure means it being smaller than so be it

if it means making a figure look fantastic i dont mind making a figure bigger. 

Thus I dont care about scaling. Just give me a fabulous figure. I dont care about toy armies. Im 45 not 10

This is the one i received shipped notice for 

the AYOI aka Black Mamba

You got shipping notification on this?

This is the weijiang M09 correct?

i got shipping notice on my AYOI aka black Mamba

I had switched my pre-order from Toyworlds version to the Scorpion version and SZS updates now show the name of this called Weijiang formally known as Scorpion. And weijiang not to long ago used went by another name Model Wizard. So really they have three names, Scorpion toys, Weijiang and Model Wizard. This is due for release before march. Which if you look at the stand point from an announcement to go to market timelines is very efficient. Toyworld announced their version many months ago with 90% completed prototypes and yet they are still not releasing it. Weijiang announced late but were already in the advanced stages of completion 

Something Toyworld would do well to learn. However, the first one to advertise gets the worm....so to speak. But if you have to wait this long for the final product you risk a newcomer with better designs and ideas releasing it earlier. 

I clicked on the figure selection who knew it wasnt 

Glad I cancelled toy World I really like this one more

And Fire Scorpion is weijiang? Not Model Wizard...im confused. Looks like Weijiang was able to pump this out way before Toyworld. And my Ayoi version shipped yesterday. Poor Toyworld.
