Give the guy a break. He is excited about his low vis... The low vis was my 1st 1/48 so I can sympathize.

it is much better when its; yours then wehn your lookign at someone elses.

I've been out of Fathom for awhile... ( ) whos that other chick?

Judging by that thing on her arm, my guess is that it would Turner's other big paycheck creation, Witchblade.

Tell your bud he's got skills, that's a nice pin up. I'd be curious to see if he's done any actual story - panels, etc. It's much more difficult to tell a story than do a splash like that.

it;s alittl eold but I can show it. enjoy

wohoo It came in today. my preciouse.

I am pretty excited about the Energon Line. It is the one series that I KNOW that I won't be enticed to spend money on. Thanks Hasbro.

I agree. I haven't seen anything from Energon yet that I would spend my money on. In fact, I totally passed on Armada because I think all the toys sucked. Well, Unicron looks like a likely purchase, but that will probably be the only Armada toy I'll get.

It's cool that Takara still thinks about the older TF fans with regards to the reissues and the upcoming Alternators and Prime toy. Those are definitely worth looking out for. The other lines are just too kid-oriented for my tastes. I did pick up some of the RID stuff like Prime, Omega Supreme, and some of the the other cars because they reminded me of the G1 days, and I thought they were designed well.

Omega Supreme??? whenw here?

also unicron sucked.

he replied

the upper left corner of the box reads "SUPER REAL 1/55 DIE CAST / PLASTIC SCALE MODEL & HIGH TECHNOLOGY TOY."  The lower right of the box reads JOON'S.  

-onimae

i replied givign him links to the real prooiuct and waht he was selling. hopefully he will cancell it

Ali

*updated*

my mistake, i actually had no idea, i was just reading what was on the box.  how do i discontinue this auction?

thanks

should be over soon. poor guy was probably jipped by another person . here buy this from me cheap and sell it on ebay. oh well.

someone should e-mail the guy to correct him. If it is honest ignorance he will either alter the auction heading and price, or just take it off.

please read what people have posted before replying

ali

Did anyone try to contact the seller about the possible mistake? Even though (s)he has two negatives maybe they've been misinformed. 

i emaild him politly informing him it;s not a joon

ali

Hum? It does not even look like a Joons. That looks like that cheep $5 bootleg that many sell on Ebay. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI...7&category=4696

i posed a link to one tha tlooks exaclty like his.

ali

Shrink 2 Fit. I agree that it isn't a 1/55

it is nto even a 1j. th ebox says it;s a 1j and he clales it a 1j rofl.

20 bucks for two of them....is that a good buy? i'm not familiar with the armada line. are those very rare?

yeah

30-40 each normally

I know there is an ebay section, but this area is viewed more. 

There is a scammer on ebay trying to pass off a (1/60 or smaller) bootleg valk as a VF-1S Joons valk.

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI...&category=16467

Notice how it doesn't take up the tray.

the box is for a 1j. rofl

damn hsi box msut be wha tis worht th emoney

US laws aren't gonna give us a neutered version if the esca are they?

it;s nto the laws. it;s the compnay who messes it up.

so anyone here ordered thru Kev? Cuz I bought mine thru him but noticed that he took down the escaflowne pics and details from his store. Can anyone confirm this?

here you go sir

Any idea why he's getting them for so much less than the direct Japanese yen conversion rate?

Actually unless something changed, the price point was at $50. I have a pre-order up at Twinmoons for somewehere in the mid $40 range. I am not sure where HLJ got that 7800 yen price.

IIRC, the price point for toys released in Japan has always been traditionally higher for the same item with a Domestic release.

It's only because the Escaflowne is being released Stateside by Toycom that it can sell for so much less.

Otherwise if Valk Exchange, Twinmoons and other e-Tailers were to import this item (so it would be Yamato's name on the box as opposed to Toycom's) the price would be more in line with the 7800 Yen that HLJ is charging.

-b.

no he is gettign japense version for preporders

ali

They're getting a domestic release, I believe, so might as well get them locally.

yeah but kivins prices are stil cheaper.

Nice! I am so getting one! But not from HLJ. I'll be buying it at Frank and Sons of course!

kevin is sellign them cheap. $50

Crap! forgot about that route.

By the way there are PS2 Emulators out there...they just don't work very well and it would be a long shot if macross would work.

there are emus out that that can boot th eps2 logo. lol. so what. if it does nto work it does nto exist in th eoptions. unelss they are wilign towat 5 years or os to play it.

bought my copy. . wha tabout you guys.

you may need to twist the legs outward a bit...then you should be able to snap it in place just fine.

no tleg chest plate

thanks
