  1. From a certain point of view? https://cosmicbook.news/gal-gadot-wonder-woman-rapist
  2. I had a fandango rental code so watched it there...pretty sure it is also on the other usual sites like Amazon and Vudu... This one also caught my eye....and I just happen to have an extra code...thanks Geico!
  3. Anyone watch this one? Kind of a fun movie with a very predictable ending in terms of his "quest"...still slim picking out there, but this one was not all that bad....
  4. An oldie but a goodie! I am sure many a Macross book collection started with that very same volume of the This is Animation series...now you'll need to get Volume 5 and 7 and probably 11....if you do not have them already!
  5. Before or after shipping? What was the shipping cost from Buyee? I have seen some "deals" on YJS...such as this one....https://buyee.jp/item/yahoo/shopping/puremiamuserekuto_4573102605023/category/?searchHis=1 But I have no idea what the shipping cost is domestically and for international....so hard to say if it really is a good deal or not...
  6. Anyone still need one? Amazon Global Shipping eligible for 3000 JPY.....25,500 JPY for DX VF-1S....go! https://www.amazon.co.jp/-/en/Chogokin-Dimension-Fortress-Macross-Valkyrie/dp/B08C3GRZ4P/ref=pd_sbs_21_2/358-5259903-7548503?_encoding=UTF8&pd_rd_i=B08C3GRZ4P&pd_rd_r=db3bcf25-6802-4bac-9f54-4c0a8c92e994&pd_rd_w=6gjnW&pd_rd_wg=DV7d6&pf_rd_p=c295905f-82f9-4d73-8142-c393a4211258&pf_rd_r=GZ6DXC0W8TPT0XHN4XX1&psc=1&refRID=GZ6DXC0W8TPT0XHN4XX1
  7. yep....Paypal posted "how to" instructions regarding "pre-sale" items....yet their very own "acceptable use" policy implies you cannot use their services to collect payment on items that you do not actually have "control or possession" of at the time of the sale.
  8. Read a few posts up...linked it and posted the section
  9. Yeah, I saw that, but then Paypal turns around and plays both sides by stating that if a seller does sell a "pre-sale" item, that the listing must reflect an anticipated delivery date, which the buyer can easily see....https://www.paypal.com/us/brc/article/presale-policy-and-reserves Why even add that caveat if their own policy says "pre-sale" items are not covered? In effect, they have simply covered themselves on both sides of the transaction, regardless if the transaction ultimately sours. They are turning a blind eye to the fact that sellers are not meeting this obligation of listing only what they can realistically deliver within Paypal's own 180 day coverage limitation to take in the commissions from the sales and screwing the buyer in the process by saying "pre-sale" items are not covered at all. Like I said, in the case of PO's, your best bet is to stick with sellers that have the highest reputation in terms of consistently delivering on PO merch. This is probably why some places will not even deal with POs...like AmiAmi and HLJ (most of the time). Others do so in a limited capacity as a "service" to their customers, but also do not over-commit, in case Bandai ends up not meeting the orders for some reason, forcing retailers to issue refunds. Ultimately, it really is up to the consumer to educate themselves on the services they are using. Ignorance of the rules of which you are agreeing to abide with when using Paypal can be a costly mistake.....for either side of the transaction.
  10. Paypal cannot help with Pre-orders gone bad......I believe as far as PO's....they require the seller to list the date the item is expected.....however, the paypal buyer protection starts ticking the moment you make a payment....their policies regarding PO's is really not helpful to buyers.....when it comes to placing PO's it really is all about the reputation of the retailer..... https://www.paypal.com/us/webapps/mpp/ua/acceptableuse-full relate to transactions that (a) show the personal information of third parties in violation of applicable law, (b) support pyramid or ponzi schemes, matrix programs, other "get rich quick"schemes or certain multi-level marketing programs, (c) are associated with purchases of annuities or lottery contracts, lay-away systems, off-shore banking or transactions to finance or refinance debts funded by a credit card, (d) are for the sale of certain items before the seller has control or possession of the item, (e) are by payment processors to collect payments on behalf of merchants, (f) are associated with the sale of traveler's checks or money orders, (h)involve currency exchanges or check cashing businesses, (i) involve certain credit repair, debt settlement services, credit transactions or insurance activities, or (k) involve offering or receiving payments for the purpose of bribery or corruption.
  11. I believe it was mentioned that they were all heading to some underground bunkers.....not sure if they made it, but I think it is implied that they did not as their was no answer when he was trying to reach them about the "kid" that was left behind..... Guessing there were many plane crashes, but not depicted onscreen.... The movie did not care about any other details except those that carried the plot forward or made things even more depressing....
  12. Episode 27....
  13. Cool....you even kept the lower legs out of the frame for anime accuracy!....
  14. Oh...I forgot......after re-consulting with the all-seeing eye.....it seems six months after the GBP full set pack release....Bandai will go with the usual Tamashii web release of "parts" and issue stand alone GBP sets with "grey google" attachment piece.....they will also take the opportunity to giddily announce the re-release of the original DX VF-1J with exclusive "seated Minmay" figurine! The PO will simultaneously break the internet and our dignity....oh and yes, upon release, YJA and eBay will become inundated with DX VF-1J's "without Minmay figure" listings quickly disemboweling the DX VF-1J aftermarket to sub-MSRP prices!
  15. Bandai will release considerably less GBP armor sets than the amount of VF-1J's they produced and will offer no word of a VF-1J re-issue. It will instantaneously create an obscene secondary market for the GBP and make the current VF-1J market price seem like clearance pricing. ...but seriously Bandai....release a GBP-1J full set pack!
  16. These look even better painted....someday...
  17. Thanks for capturing the pose!
  18. Thanks for reminding me of the last idiot who resided in the White House before the current outgoing one!
