  1. I just hope it's a tight and solid like a VF-1 only a VF-0.
  2. And you'd probably have to fix it up... pay insurance, and put gas in it. haha
  3. Arcadia seems to be going out of their way to make as many obscure "almost cool" pieces as possible. Hope they don't run into trouble.
  4. Wonder how much the owner made percentage wise. The guy selling it said he was being a broker for him... Also, I'd like to see him collect haha
  5. Question. I redid my "Low Viz" Shelf. Which of the 1/60's should I put in Batroid? Or should I leave them in super sweet low viz squadron mode? I'm leaning toward the Roy Low Viz.
  6. Sweet Ozama. Yeah 1 is enough for me. Too many other things to buy haha
  7. I mean, they sell it to retailers at cost. Retailers sell it to customers. I'm sure Arcadia sold all their units to stores. If the retailers don't sell it all, or lose money (deep discounts)they won't order as much next time, and thats when you see changes. It sold fairly briskly at MSRP and certainly hasn't shelf-warmed. People selling them second-hand doesn't correlate to any loss to Arcadia or Retailers. The money is made. It could also be people who bought multiples and want something else. It's a pretty drawn out feedback loop.
  8. I couldn't get through season 3 of G1. It was total crap. haha. I had stopped watching cartoons as much as a kid at that point too and I'd never seen it. The movie was kind of the end of the world for me. 1 and 2 are somewhat watchable... but not great. It's amazing that something like Macross (Robotech) was on at the same time and so amazing. It's all about the robots mang.
  9. Just people who bought it locally in Japan and re-sell or trade for something else. Man is just smart enough to make it for sale to the whole world. They probably didn't pay nearly as much as us and they don't have to pay shipping.
  10. I saw on TFW that their is a MP guide book up on Amazon JP. Wonder when HLJ will get it, or if they will.
  11. They are great as long as you don't transform them
  12. Not 100% sure as I don't collect them. I think they routinely sell for $350-500 looking at sold ebay prices. That's with shipping, and ebay fees. If you're not a getter fan yet, there are a ton of cheaper options to jump into the pool with. Personally, I'm not a fan of fewture's efforts. It's too stylized to me to represent the various animes. That's just my opinion though, lots of people love them. I would suggest the Sentinel Getters, (my personal favorites) or even the SOC Getter 1 or Dragon Getter. You can get either for $150 or less.
  13. The 171CF was just junk. Be interested to see if the Luca is as high quality haha
  14. I used these cabinet lights from Lowes. Easy to install, and they do multiple colors. Warm light, cool light, reds, and greens. They also fade in and out. You just use the sticky for the holder "arms" and slide the tube in. You can also rotate them once they are in the holder "arms" http://www.lowes.com/pd_696-24994-HTP904E_4294615498%2B4294690587__?productId=3316942&Ns They are on amazon. One box will let you put a light at the top and bottom of two detolfs. http://www.amazon.com/CYRON-Multicolor-LED-System-HTP904E/dp/B004Q088Q8
  15. Of course. Anything is only worth what the NEXT guy is willing to pay. Though, a 1,000 bill is universally accepted to be worth a certain amount for a large selection of goods to a large selection of people. There is only a small amount of people that will pay that much for a Babe Ruth card, or a Detective comics 1. Much like our Menasor here.
  16. http://www.fg-site.net/archives/post_old/157787 Another kit.
