Interesting to hear they were up north too. I was always under the impression it was a Texas/New Mexico operation, and only the really small towns. Apparently Albuquerque was the largest city/market that picked them up. We had six stores in total. That was real sad having them go. Every Friday evening was some combination of rent movie, rent video game, buy comic books, buy D&D guides, buy CD’s, buy random sci-fi/fantasy book. Speaking of CD’s, good lord was their electronic music section good for a backwater desert town in ‘94. As a matter of fact, if I ever get the time/help to put them together, the giant glass cases I bought for my Macross collection were from their going out of business sale. TRU I’m not as fond of. They didn’t come around until I was older. All I know is shopping at TRU became more trouble than it was worth when they switched from the two sets of monolithically long corridor shelves to the endless sea of right angles in the early 2000’s. For a few bucks more a giant warehouse of product you could easily search was convenient. Once it became a labrynth to navigate Walmart and Target were suddenly more convenient. All I will say is it sucks people will lose work and thst it will be even harder to track down Marvel Legends for myself. I don’t think a rich guy with zero interest in toys should invest just because but an Amazon Toys R Us outlet wouldn’t be a horrible idea.

I'm asking because I wonder if their standards are so super high if something went wrong they refuse to put it out until it's fixed? Especially if the Dancouga bit them in the ass. Just based on the products I've seen they seem extremely focused on quality.

I do have a question. Has anybody heard of any sort of huge problem with any of Sentinel's offerings in the past?
-
I didn’t know Hastings existed in the North West...

Well, the Tamashii website says the 15th. The stores will have to wait for the orders to be shipped to them before they can get them out to us so NY is likely right as well.
-
I asked about the Thunder Hammer additional weapons pieces prices and they told me to wait for an announcement "soon." Whatever soon means.
-
Hmm, I saw a report earlier that they were looking into an option to keep 200 stores open. Not that it makes much difference to me given I live in the boonies anyway.

And likewise, looks like Rei is pushed back to May.

Your most recent Macross or toy purchase! General thread.

Lucky you, I’ll never get one of those damn sets. -
Good Lord, my Mom has a dark sense of humor. My wheelchair bound, stroke ridden Mother says. “Hey, did you hear about Stephen Hawkings?” Yes. ”He finally got out of that damn chair.”

Can't you test that? Between the two you own 100 of them.

Given his many ailments 76 is a pretty impressive length of time.

Where did you find the Deadpool wave? -
Yeah, that’s what I realized. A double blessing.
-
I am buying the holy f**k out of that armor.
-
But is it just the Lil Drakens or is it a bundle with the 31F as well?
-
Metal Siren?
-
Hmm, at the bottom of the Tamashii website for the VF-31S is this image. I wonder if we know what the next two releases will be?
-
Holy eff, I didn’t even realize at CDJapan if you pay with paypal you pay up front. So my $880 is already done. I can probably squeeze in a fourth one.
-
When does Bandai ever have a Valk properly transformed in one of their display cases?
-
Mine are coming from CDJapan. They’re slighty faster shipping. Sometimes.
-
Who me? I'd gladly see the 31A in video form right now.
-
I'll probably cave in and try to snag a fourth if extra show up someplace online.
-
My impatience for the 31A is starting to mount.
-
But that's not why. Compare it to the model kit. The DX 262 was just generally over-engineered and has a lot more moving and odd pieces than is necessary.
