  1. SRC Jeeg is officially a GO! 8/2016 will come with the drills (at least)... http://tamashii.jp/special/pickup/201608skss/ http://tamashii.jp/special/pickup/201608skss/02_01.php
  2. Even with this spring sale and the sucky exchange-rate, you guys really just have too much disposable income...
  3. Chachi's very entertaining review of DX Great Maz: https://youtu.be/4nmt3KZ4qfA where he just about almost lost it with the DX-Maz's shenanigans when trying to do the handshake with DX-GM, and other funny stuff...
  4. Getter Robo is my fave gattai... https://youtu.be/Nhjds5BtY68 https://youtu.be/9BA_jDx2LrA Unfortunately, Bandai hasn't perfected the necessary engineering to make a perfect transformation SOC version. Their various Getter Robo and Getter Robo G SOCs are parts-formers instead, as reviewed by Charles: https://youtu.be/dLsFl-KyLhw So for now, the best Gattai SOC for me for the money is the recent GX-31V 40th-anniversary edition: The GX-03 Combattler V above is a bit wonky compared to GX-31V. I don't think the updated GX-50 Combattler V really has engineering improvements to be in the same class as GX-31V, but it's been commanding a very hefty scalper-pricing right now as is the original GX-31V release. That said, you oughta check Charles' yt-page ( https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCx0nKp-HJ_ZF2kTZGZHGJoA) for Soul of Chogokin stuff, especially Voltes V and the other gattai SOCs that are bigger than GX-31V.
  5. The 1/100 HM-R Regult scales nicely with the 1/60 Destroid, 1/55 MadCat, and 1/72 Dougram for a nice Battletech Star unit. Waiting on the Glaug to field a full heavy star...
  6. Merc Star of Heavies and Medium... Waiting on the Marauder to field a full Heavy Star...
  7. My SKL-FC arrived... No issue interchanging Wingle and Cloak between my SKL and SKL-FC...
  8. Not quite sure about this rather recent disproportional-styling nowadays, but this one's kinda nice. http://www.amiami.com/top/detail/detail?gcode=FIGURE-015976 1/8 at 230mm Must be the hair. Them hips, tho...

    Hi-Metal R

    Just need to pull it a bit. If it dislodged, then you pulled too far. Just hope that's not what she said...

    Hi-Metal R

    How straight do you guys want it to point forward? This is my HM-R Regult with cannons straight forward.

  13. 1/100 HM-R Regult demo'ing off his leg articulation to new meltrandi leader Lapla-Umaruchan...

    Hi-Metal R

    After 12-days, usps finally delivered my first. It's ok. Not tight, but not loose. Pod articulation is a bit limited in posing compared to my Revy. In fact, it can't really do my simple Revy pose... Yeah. Can't quite turn the pod to face properly coz of the hip. A bit awkward, but it's all good, tho. It's nicely big enough. Will think of other poses while I play more with it. edit: Forgot to mention the paint is a bit on the dull matte-ish side compared to the rather glossy/vivid Revy. Grey limbs instead of the revy white.
  15. Heads up! MP-31 Delta Magnus is now up on HLJ preorder: https://www.hlj.com/product/tkt85337 14,400y edit/add: here's ami's po-page: http://www.amiami.com/top/detail/detail?gcode=FIGURE-017442 13,490y
  16. Yeah! These be from toysdaily-thread: http://toysdaily.com/discuz/forum.php?mod=redirect&goto=findpost&ptid=247474&pid=7665225 It ain't right that Toysdaily beating the MWF customizers for showing off customized stuff now...
  17. I understand why you would want it. I own one. That said, it's kind of a moot point regarding the Super/Strike Parts since the Kaki-TV never wore a Super-Pack in the anime, and that Super/Strike Parts add-on is even more rare now than a VF-1 and I reckon commands an even more premium scalper-pricing. If you're really that interested, I insist that you check out the listing at Anymoon.com. It should provide the information you are querying.
  18. Hi, Cannon Fodder. The Kaki-VF1A shouldn't really cost more than US$100 (it was ignored and bargain-binned the last time it was up at hlj), but I know scalpers have been jacking up the pricing on pretty much any 1/60v2 VF-1. That said, try not to even get it if it will cost you $500. Use that money for something else more important. Wait around and maybe Arcadia will re-release it, or Bandai may release the smaller 1/100 HiMetal-R version of it that will cost less than $150 from legitimate japan-based shops like HLJ. --- almost forgot to use the salutation you're using...

    Hi-Metal R

    Yeah. I get my SAL/RSAL quicker when it goes thru SF. Not a chance when it goes thru L.A. Full two weeks, and even beyond. In fact, my rsal regult right now... From that, I reckon they'll actually deliver it next week instead...
  20. So does this mean Bandai's gonna finally offer a renewal SOC GX-58? That would be awesome news to me!
  21. It seems to be all anecdotal, anyway. Some may have problem, some may not have the problem. The "problems" are livable, imo. They almost always not as catastrophic as the disintegrating Yamato VF-0A shoulder-issues. In my own case, all of my VF-1v2 do not have any shoulder hinge issue, and I manhandled them quite often. I have the first releases up to the last releases with the supposed "fixes" and stuff. I can't say the same with the others' VF-1v2, however. It all depends on how you personally really handle your toys, afaict. If in doubt, just don't buy it at all.

    Hi-Metal R

    The HMR Regult should scale well as the 60t Ostsol with the 1/72 Dougrams Shadowhawk. I think the HMR Glaug should also scale well as the 75t Marauder, as it's a bit bigger than the HMR Regult. At least, that's my plan when I get my HMR Regult this week and my Glaug later on. I'm currently using the Revy Regult as an Ostscout since it's small enough to be 35t...
  23. I'm thinking there is no fix coming with the Nexx version at all. I'm really highly doubtful that ET will bother to apply any improvements to fix the issues found, so I've cancelled my hlj-po for Nexx. I might still get the Nexx or Sylvie+SAP if it ever goes to the bargain-bin.
  24. From what I gather in RJ-forum about ET's reputation, all of their toys ar overpriced with always suspect qualities regardless if it's niche robots or popular robots like Go Nagai's,,,
