treatment

well, i just received my Rifleman aka Destroid Defender today. i tell yah, this guy really ain't worth the full price, much less at half-price. but oh well. just gotta have it. i take comfort that i got it during the previous sale. since I'm pretty meh on the Phalanx, this Defender will likely be my last destroid until Yamato decides to make the Spartan. unless, of course, them colored (OD/KG) versions goes on a sweet sale. a couple of pics...

hehehe! better retire it already since you are aware that the real 1/60 Max-1S is still part of the HLJ-sale, right? http://www.hlj.com/product/YMT00128

the old thread was already closed, so I reckon we gotta start a new one with the home-video release instead. I was tempted to get the BD-version instead, but oh well. also, Something Something Something Dark Side is out, too, as well as a couple of other good releases today.

Girly valk?????!!? ayup. check it out:

It was released in Oct! and Desty_Nova totally just missed the hlj-sale on the M&Ms, too. poor guy.

I think the $40 MP-Skywarp was an online-only offer. Heck! They've upped it to $50 now online-only, too. btw, for Silverbolt, I was actually just price-checking it since I thought it was put there in the bargain-aisle by mistake. Well, turns out it wasn't a mistake. In contrast, there's a bunch of ROTF-figures in the $10 bargain-aisle, which I think is a huge mistake as these figures are really worth no more than $5. Also, kinda weird that Red Powerglide went up to $30 again after being discounted to $25 just last month. edit: just couldn't resist gerwalkin' SB. he's actually got surprisingly good balance. prolly better gerwalkin' than the Bandai DX VF25s.

so, another wally's run, another TF figure in the bargain-bin. this time, it's the boring-but-still-goodly-sized TF-U Silverbolt ultraclass. for a whoppin $11!

dude, could you take some more snaps and stuff with the cockpit rotated in battroid mode?

it's nice and all, but it really does need a heatshield. also, Yamato should've employed the rotating-seat feature from M0, so that Miriya (and Max) wouldn't be facing awkwardly down when the VF-22's in battroid-mode. oh, and yeah. Milia-pilot needs to have boobies like Nora-pilot.

yeah. not bad at all for $20. i'm not really a TFA-fan, but this UM is a really great toy. I never saw the original TFA-UM on wally's shelves, but this Road-Buster version is fine enough and the pricing is sweet. I'm not that hot on the new colors, but it has grown on me rather quick. the only thing I'd like it to have added is waist/waist-swivel, so the upper-body will have some better poses!

hmm, has somebody posted this, yet? US$20 at wally's. just could not resist.

seems like Nora's on sale again at 10,900y, too. http://www.hlj.com/product/YMT00064

err, a toy or a playground or both? Millennium Falcon Bed it's just made for you sw-fans of mw-forum.

geezus! and no shipping-cost, yet, too. in contrast, i have to cancel my single order coz of the crappy exchange-rate. oh, well.

the only email i got from hlj was yesterday tellin' me they ain't gonna add my order until the 14th. coz they're close for the weekend, i reckon.

well, kind of a tough choice. Considering the sale-price right now: for the TV-1A, you get the "special" blue-trims. Completing the Vermillion team with it is rather optional, as Kakizaki-TV's not included in the sale. vs for the TV-1J, you get the special FPs and stuff for about 2100-yen more. However, you _MUST_ get the Milia-1J to go along with the the Max-1J, or Max will go crazy with loneliness. So that's another 8960-y expense. add: and the virgin-road 1D is meh, imho.

so, yeah. Went ahead and ordered the VF-11b instead of ordering two (or more) regular VF-1's (Max-TV and 1D, ). I reckon the 11b will run out of stock again soon with this 5000-yen discount. *sigh* and i just ordered the Defender during the last sale. still wishing the exchange-rate is better.

hmm. in fighter-mode, the VF-25 with Tornado-Pack does indeed resemble the VF2SS with the SAP of MacII somewhat. in the battroid-mode, it resembles the VF-0 with Ghost-pack from Mac-Zero, albeit the VF-25 with the TP is far more fuglier and corny. the VF-27 looks rockin', tho. btw, wtf is up with Bandai's obsession with the VF19-Kai? They almost always seem to make and show it, and not the 17 or the other 19 from M7.

motherf&(#$%$#$&!!!! should've waited, but it's all good. might get another one to use as a x'mas gift.

hmm. yeah. i just noticed that, too. oh, well. guess i'll wait with the FP-versions instead. i reckon it's just wrong to not have FPs on DYRL-valks.

wow! great snaps. i might just finally get these revy's afterall. obtw, where are the FAST-packs for these?

what are you trying to get at? By mimicking your posting style., he's telling you that you're off your damn medications again with your constant gibberish spamming of this board Again.

well, i got Wally's Masterpiece Skywarp today and here are some quickie snaps (along with my Hikky-1s 1/60v2:

heh! double-heh! on the $60 pricing. haven't found it, yet, but i did finally relented and gotten the red-version of powerglide for $25 at the local wally's. yeah, i know. i already have the first version with all its ugliness, too.
