  1. Apologies if this isn't the right place to ask.

    Heading down to Tokyo for Christmas, and I'd like to get a little shopping in. No problems in finding the current plastic kits up here, but there seems to be a drought of the older resin kits. Any good suggestions on where to search? I am going to spend some time in Akihabara, just need a definite location there. Probably also going to be in Shinjuku a while, too. Thanks!!

  2. Just watched the whole thing. About what I'd expect for a Japanese produced live action adaptation. Basically, they redid the episode where there was the rumored Japanese "Spring of Drowned Boy" hidden in Furikin High School.

    HOWEVER- Kasumi was way to old (I'd swear she was in her late 30's), they had Nabiki working in a Hostess Club (which does make some sense), Dr. Tofu worked for the High School, Akane had some mystical pendant for no real readily explained reason, no Ryoga or any other supporting characters, and yes, the panda suit sucked ass.

    If you're a big fan of Ranma, watch it for the nostalgia, then go back and watch the anime. That's what I wanted to do.

  3. (I miss the sub-title option. I would have called this "Give me a boost!", with the kit info in sub-title)

    So, here it is. D.D. Ivanov's SV-51 gamma, with the boost engines. Built right out of the box. Got a little over-enthusiastic on the sanding, though; lost some of the nose details by mistake....

  4. So, a while back, I was searching for a little info on an old Arii kit, the System Fortress, South Ataria

    Found this one guy's blog, and he did a real good job with the base.

    But when it came to the Valkyries, he obviously has never seen Macroos/Roboblech, and he probably didn't look at the instructions very well.

    Why, oh why are the gunpods TOTALLY backwards? Why is there an extra head in Gerwalk mode? On the VF-1A Battroids, why are the heads on backwards? :huh: :huh: :huh:

  5. Thanks, I'll try Amazon, but I'm not a fan of Ebay. What with some of the stories I've heard, it's generally easier to deal with big companies after you've bought something rather than individuals.

    Any luck on using Amazon? Just test ordered with this one

    and it looks like they will ship overseas. I've used a 3M for many years, and really like it.
