HG Blows

Gogeta's droopy eyebrow really triggers the OCD in me.

I've seen 5-6 packaged (all but one had it), and most of the reviewed copies online have a noticeable droop.  It seems like most of the copies out there are gonna have it.  Kuma's isn't too bad though.

And lastly, the Iron Man Mark 85: https://www.nippon-yasan.com/figures/27815-shfiguarts-iron-man-mark-85-avengers-endgame.html

Man those last two were nail-biters. The NY wheel of death spun quite a bit before I got my pre-orders in. 

See you all after the End Game!

Mark 85?  Wasn't his IW suit Mark 50?  How was there 34 more suits in between?

Also, wth they just dropped all these POs out of nowhere, what's that about?

$200 for armor, jeez wasn't the armor parts for the VF-25 only ~$100ish?

Is the ripped shirt pieces on awakening an overlay?  I thought it was sculpted pieces

Show Z store has the freedom 2.0 up for preorder again, also strike freedom, I guess they're doing another run...

Opened my first ko metal build, strike freedom sapphire color version.  Comes with optional red trim parts, a really nice touch, looks better than the sapphire blue.

Feels pretty good in hand, quality is just a notch or two below my authentic one.  

Wow one of the slowest bandai nights ever. Welp, got my destiny order in, probably should have waited to see who was cheapest though

Looks like the MC Freedom preorder is already sold out at show.z, where else can I order this?

Are these up for preorder 12/3 as well?

Is the horn on eva-01 black?  I don't know how I feel about that.

how come the deactive versions are so much cheaper?  Do they initially start at ~$100 and just increase the price as they release/sell out?

Or why buy ALL when you can just paint it? I mean, if you think about it's much cheaper that way. Don't you agree? 

 

yeah i was thinking of just taking a blue sharpie and coloring the visor.  2 second fix.

Kurama shipped my Nexx already, that's pretty good I never ordered from them before.  I was kinda worried, I've only read the horror stories

Bummed about Amazon.jp not shipping to the U.S.  I was hoping to start using them for more macross figs.

I knew that was too good to be true.  I'm surprised they did that for so long. HG probably got to them.

So I unwillingly got 3 at amiami, lol i dont know why probably cus I kept having to refresh and going back to the product screen and adding to cart.  I just checked out because I didn't want  to potentially lose  my whole cart.  I'll just try to adjust the quantity later...all this BS for a product that's not even on par with DX or MBs...these new site upgrades suck

Everyones on edge because preordering gets exceedingly tougher and tougher

Those who haven't experienced the new HLJ and AmiAmi sites on bandai night are in for a real treat.  Hopefully they've made improvements, like being able to just load the damn page. 

Crunchy Roll has Crossbone up, if you have a premium membership you get a discount.

BBTS has the MB crossbone up. I finally got my preorder in and now I can rest easy. 

Awesome, thank you.  Although i did accidently order 2 when they said it's 1 per person limit.  I already cancelled one, but I hope they don't cancel my order anyway.  Not sure why they let you choose quantity if there's a limit.

Does anyone else have kind of a loose right arm?  I say kind of because when I pose mine extended out with the arm cannon attachment, the arm falls at certain angles, but holds fine at other angles. Not even sure how to describe since it's a ball, for some reason it seems to work with some manipulating but is completely limp if you don't have it at that sweet spot.

Couldn't check out, got to the shipping selection screen, and then it kicked me back to the cart with the quantity error.  Thus ends another disappointing night.  

Welp i was a little worried when i opened my package from hlj, and they mailed my 19 upside down, i pretty much expected the antenna was snapped.  Luckily though, it’s still in one piece.  But between this negligence and their crappy  website redesign, Im losing a lot faith in them

At this rate it'll be near impossible to order any of these items in the future.

hlj is at order stop now

finally got to log in on hlj, and it could not authenticate, i literally signed in 20 minutes prior
