  1. lol true true. The firey phoenix accessory looks really good, quite flexible material as well, and it does fit over ok, but i'm thinking of making a 3d print dummy phoenix to put it on so I can have both forms showing in the display =-)
  2. No prob =-) Its got some nice extra gimmicks, such as bird missiles that drop from the bottom of g5, and the dome on top is clear now instead of grey plastic. They even made the bottom vents open/ close when you use the intakes open/close mechanism. They didn't do teh finer details as well as unifives though, such as the top bird missile isn't painted, and their isn't the same level of paint on the g1-4 as uni, but still looks amazing =-) You'll love it !
  3. The God Phoenix has landed in Australia! Thought I could pop a couple of pics up beside my old anime colored unifive, both have good and bad points, but I do like the new evolution toys one, the paint reaaaally pops. Please excuse the messy table, it's the lightsaber wiring table Did anyone else grab one?
  4. So it looks like the God Phoenix has been released, and mine was shipped just yesterday, so I'm keen to see how it compares to my old Unifive version! Fingers crossed its as good or better! https://hlj.com/metal-action-no-9-god-phoenix-evt57302
  5. sadly im one of those desparate enough to bite at 22... sigh... i thought it was like 4am this coming morning... doh! amazon jp wouldn't ship to australia either...
  6. ...must.. attempt.. perfect... transformation.. longtime.. dream...rider.. remains... on bike...whooot! This looks AMAZING! I can't wait to fiddle with this to attempt an anime-esque transform =-)
  7. lol i should have been more specific, best 'action' figure of her =-) I wish they put them both up at the same time, as I fear that if MM doesn't sell well enough they might not do the Rick!
  8. Rick looks awesome! would grab in heartbeat! minmei not so much . Best figure of her but not screaming 'buy me' so much =-) hopefully they put up a pre order for him soon!
  9. Paid. Requested shipment. Paid that. Now waiting for shipment notice! I truly hope this is great =-)
  10. looking good! the arms seem locked together better here, and dunno if my imagination but seems the two soldiers are showing off the two intake styles... btw that god phoenix, is it up for pre order anywhere? I know the fewture one has sold out on hlj but this is the one i'm after with the removable g vehicles!

    Hi-Metal R

    Thanks for that link, I was pi$$ed to miss HLJ preorder, but this has unpi$$ed my evening =-)
  12. Yeh its a nice one the unifive, I have the 'anime' coloured one, really wish I had nabbed the proper blue version though instead of the 'sea green to emulate dated washed out colors of cartoon' but oh well. I live for the day though that Joes G2 can attach to the front and have the phoenix's nose cone cover it without needing to parts form =-) That... would be awesome....!
  13. would love if all the g vehicles fit into the appropriate compartments !
  14. I'm in on one as well... just jiving for it to be great, and pave the way for even better things! Unless something mindblowingly bad surfaces about it I hope to keep the preorder with HLJ as well! Even though I got burned on the silvie vf2ss and the armor pack, I'm hoping they've learnt some lessons.... hoping...
  15. I do believe i just bought a 300 dollar banpresto... It just arrived in the mail today, and I'm trying to like it, but I cannot make the legs/arms/backpack play nicely in fighter mode at all. Its a terribly floppy mess. Battroid tabs together moreso, but its truly disappointing for the most part. I hold out hope that it does get done properly by the big guns BanCadia. The SAP version is most likely going to be cancelled preorder because the floppiness will only be exasperated by the extra weight of parts! Sad Panda
  16. Chiming in that my two from HLJ are fine out of box and absolutely LOVE the look of this valk! Only transformed a few times so far but its good quality, only noticed a couple of paint rubs *one on the head stripes when it was pushed in for valk mode only a small one* Wish my poor 21 could stand up beside it unassisted ! I too would like another attempt made at it =-)
  17. keyed up to get this thing! hoping for monday next week delivery to Australia(eyeing scream mans with jealousy thinking of knocking it off when he's not looking...) Never will order again from Ami Ami due to their complete lack of after sales service. Cancelled all outstanding orders when they refused to help fix a broken sakura play arts figure. HLJ has the best after sales IMO so I go where the service is. This toy looks awesome though! Love all the pics everyone is sharing =-) *droool*
  18. I'm thinking I should throw down for one as well, to help make this happen, another Aussie onboard for some Inbit awesomeness =-)
  19. my goodness those customs are amazing! Makes me want to do mine, but then I'll be too worried about the paint rub on the nose cone! but great work guys !
  20. not impressed. here yamato, you take my money. obviously you do want to sell us your toys. bandai:fail. I want to swear at you and curse your lack of awareness of our desire to have access to your toys, but obviously there is no point. *sigh*
  21. ORDERED !! I saw it on my alerts before seeing it here though, and wow, 2nd only to macross in terms of 'amount spent on a single item' but hey, I'm glad at least to be ABLE to order it unlike bandai's shenanigans. Excitement for this is only on par with Masterpiece Soundwave thats coming out around the same time! If its a huge box shipping seemed about right? EMS to Australia they have for 59AUD, which probably is a bit more than what I'm used to from HLJ but they have a 30% off always or something like that... hrmm... but hey, it was JUST under 400 shipped so I can make myself feel better! $399.01!~ bargain!
  22. Yes... awesome.. .I hope to have one! but if they make it near impossible to get it'll be a sad day indeed...
  23. Just FYI its back up, eta 31st August! =-) http://chimungmung.com/product_info.php?products_id=732&osCsid=461492f4d0f4b05a9ed13f3506369c00 got the arcee yesterday, love it, so thanks for your input on that VHD! Tight joints, great bot and alt modes, definitely my fav arcee, 2nd' by the perfect effect bike arcee, which is just awesome but doesn't make me think arcee, just cool fembot!
