  1. Was at Housing Works (recycle shop chain in NYC) with the Wife and found these little gems. Hobby-base 1/35 MA.k SAFS series 2 figures from like 2003. I used to nab these in the UFO catchers when I was an exchange student in Japan. Housing works tagged them at $.50 a piece which was a total steal. I sanded out the scuffs, used some tamiya weathering powders to add back some dirt, satin-coated them and put them on 28mm bases. So happy to have these little SAFS buggers on my work desk.
  2. I have an extra for sale (non profit) for US buyers in the sales thread. posted just now
  3. I think Amiami is closed until Monday. It's totally dead in Japan for most places after New Years, which is why I hate spending New Years with the inlaws because it's soooooo boring and awkward when nothing is open and you're stuck in your wife's parents' place with nothing to do.
  4. Woo hoo. My Ebay bucks came in and I used them to get my missile set for $6 lol. Taking advantage of multple 8% Ebay bucks days + 15% off coupons over 3 months does things
  5. NY shipping is getting ridiculous and it's why I've been trying to go more for Amiami and Hobbysearch for my orders. HLJ is great for smaller stuff but their automatic EMS for high priced stuff turns me off for some reason

    Hi-Metal R

    lmao I totally forgot about this. Just PO'd the one at Amiami. whatev
  7. HGUC Dijeh release is only the Zeta Version atm. I bet the NT will be a P-Bandai release if anything
  8. The issue is, will they re-release the missiles or not? Reason being if they keep releasing other VF-1's down the line, which they will, you'll be missile-less unless they re-issue them or you pay aftermarket prices....... I might have to pick up more than 1 missile set :/
  9. I don't get how I'm so excited about the VF-1J for the like umpteenth time. It and the 1S are like the Grandaddy RX-78 of Macross :0
  10. If it comes with the GM Kai head I'll be so happy, but I doubt it since this guy prolly doens't need the GM Kai shield that the regular Unicron GM II had
  11. Jesus did they hire somebody from the videogame industry into Marketing? Feels like straight up DLC nickel and diming................. where do I pay?
  12. Totally agree on the Weirdo Green Color that the MG Jegan and like every other Sci Anime Series had or used in their 80's model kits. It reminds me of the barf green color of the Imai / Arii 1/100 Variable Valkyries. I was pretty salty that the Jegan follows the GM Command colony type and skipped the dry-transfers. I also agree the beam rifle is oversized.
  13. That is ridiculous..... No joke I may as well just wait until I visit the in-laws and bring a suitcase. Then I can take all the parts off the runners and use my clothing as padding
  14. Honestly no need to back this game right now unless you understand you'll be playing an early access game for another 2-5 years. I've watched and played every release and it's been fun to see the game grow so much, but there's so much more they still need to do. Luckily they've finally almost finished building their universe building tools and processes so the development progress will ramp up expontentially.
  15. Looking at the instructions it will be super secure because it's like Bandai's Macross Kits where the super parts are all parts swaps. You'll be swapping in a new chest to the Hazel in order to mount the Hruduru. Luckily I predicted this and got an extra Hazel so I don't have to take apart my built one lol
  16. The P-Bandai Hustle is real. Oh, and a YF-19
  17. Renewal parts are pricey. I sold my opened copies for 230-250 USD just last year. I'd expect those to go higher.
  18. Man... I might actually pick the VF-25 girls up. ON a side note... 2007.. damn Frontier is already 11 yrs old O_o
  19. Dammit now I can't unsee Ben 10 in drag either.
  20. Disagree. We wouldn't be able to afford multiples if we had to shell out for fast packs at the same time.
  21. Reagan may have used the 'Star Wars' program to economically destroy us in the 80's and cause the collapse of the Soviet Union, but Mother Russia will have its revenge by review-bombing a star wars movie 30 years later. Sounds Legit
  22. I think everyone would've lost their shiz if it was NU gundamor something. Oh well, maybe next time.
  23. This may sound crazy but I'm not really digging the style they went with on the Metalbuild F97. I prolly would gone for it had it been just the Katoki Version.
  24. The Last Jedi wasn't a good movie for me. I know people like it but more power to them. I usually don't pay attention to politics or drama. But when creators and their supporters began to be outright hostile to fans who are critical of TLJ I did start to care. Name-calling and ranting about "toxic" fans is retarded. Blaming customers is retarded. But that's exactly what many people at Lucasfilm and the entertainment media have done. I think I walked away from Star Wars after a white person told me I'm racist for not liking Rose Tico. I'm Vietnamese. Let that sink in.... Now people are telling me the movie and the renewed franchise aren't for "toxic fans" like me. Fine. I can deal with that. Just don't blame us when we don't go out to watch the movies and the box-office suffers.
