  1. How much does something like that run commission wise? What if we made a consorted effort to get the first one made, and then make copies, only using a different character?
  2. Lol, tell him 100 is a deal if he delivers it. Ikea here is two hours away, which sucks, but Not enough to pay thier shipping rates which btw are Absurd and way over priced.
  3. Oh man, how pissed are people going to be when Arcadia announces the Macross Univers 1/60 VF-1 V3 line? All the stuff we splurged in will be worth jack, and well all be flooding sites to buy every variant they throw at us. 1st release VF-1S Focker TV version Super V3 2nd renewal VF-0S 3rd VF-1S with Orbital Booster 4th Regult with Pilot 5th VF-4B 6th YF-19 V2 .... . . And then I wake up
  4. They get dusty, but it takes awhile, and I doubt anyone ever keeps things exactly the same all the time. Everytime I change anything I dust and windex. You could buy adapters at hardware stores that slide on the glass and would bridge the gap better. You still can't beat a 70$ Detolf.
  5. Base 2 is only different in the base part, and regularly in stock for 5-6$ at HLJ. Add Exo's adapters and = profit.
  6. It's just supposed to be for purchases since like.. Monday 3/18, the day that will live in infamy.
  7. I just Don't like Yellow on red, I just can't do the kai, I just can't. Give me a low Viz and I'll buy a fleet, but really the Kai is the worst of the available colors IMO. The P is nice because at least it's white and matches most VF-1's.

    Its Official!

    focker TV version (w/o OP) is still at HKC for 109$ FYI
  9. So now that Panic mode is in full Swing, lets see how crazy everyone has been in the last few days. Start posting up your hordes of Valk on this week or reckoning! or wrecking, if you have a wallet. I've only secured.. (1) DYRL 1/48 cannon fodder TV (1) 1/60 VF-1J DIY (1) 1/60 VF-11B but I'm short on funds, gotta scrape through the cushions. What have you Bought?
  10. indeed Kaki is just about everywhere, when he sells out, sound the alarm.
  11. whatever i can afford, between macross/MP Transformers/3A my wallet bleeds.
  12. back to 1/48, forget going smaller, Forget that completely! I want bigger, hell give me a 1/18th scale Super VF-1S, and then you can go out of business.
  13. Ok, How do you lock the 1/60 VF-11B's back to the chest? I can't figure it out!?
  14. I was talking to a friend of mine who deals in legal business matters, and has done a bankruptcy in Japan. He basically said, no news is good news. If a company has switched names, in order to distance it's self from the previous company, and has not yet made a public notice, it means that they are bartering assets before public auction. Basically, Yamato, can sell assets to Arcadia, at a reduced price as a Bank controlled forfeiture. So Yamato sells Arcadia assets (molds, tooling, equipment) as a attempt to pay back bank loans for a period of time, determined by the bank. After that time, if the bank hasn't been paid off, they go into Public auction of all remaining assets. (Which he said, will be Publicly announced) Here's another kicker, Since the toolings and mold only have physical material value (value of the material to make it) Yamato could sell it to Arcadia for a hugely reduced cost. Making it possible for Arcadia to buy up anything they want that costs them a 100th of a percent of what they original paid to make them. I'd say based on this, everyone just needs to loosen their sphincters. (Yes another relevant Aliens reference )
  15. I don't know, I think there's a healthy profit margin on those. Just looking around HLJ, they almost always have everything at 10-20% discounts all the time. Even the brand new Bandai DX is always 20% off the MSRP.
  16. Yeah, it's pandimonium, stuff is flying off the E-store shevles. I snagged a DIY VF-1J from HLJ while they are still there. I don't need anything else, so unless they discount the Kazki's some more, I'm good. I'm pissed I missed the restock of the Fast packs though.
  17. Yeah, as much as I hate the idea of pre-ordering Bandai macross products. I wouldn't mind some heavy metal VF-1 love. I highly doubt that Arcadia will dump the license and never do another 1/60 item. Give them time, for a new game plan, and a better business direction. They obviously have kept the designer, seeing how they said all the yammy employees have been kept. They might tighten their focus to specific popular models, and less on variants that don't sell. I just don't see them letting the molds go to waste, or any R & D that was already planned. That's millions that they won't toss. I think they just need time.
