Hong Kong is different China (at least, outside of China) and HK seems to have taken the tariff situation much worse. That might be why ShowZ just bumped up shipping fees while KC is struggling to find an option.

It went from being lame if you bought from BBTS to being great as I haven't heard a peep about my pilot figure 

They really should have just made a Rodimus toy that looked more like a Fire Valkyrie in battroid mode and had the trailer transform into the stage. Transforming into the plane and mating the crumpled plant to the trailer is madness.

You ever going to review the series or what? 🫢

Life is crazy right now! I have so little time but I really want to get to them. As soon as things calm down, I'll start pumping more reviews out.

Another TWE item. I feel like I gotta show my support though. Grabbed it from anime export.

Magnets are a much more expensive solution than pegs and slots and if they're not done well, the result can easily be less satisfactory than pegs and slots. Often times the manufacturer still adds a peg and slot to make sure the alignment is perfect, then they're left to wonder why they did the magnet at all when they could have just made the peg and slot a little more robust. 

I wired my home for Ethernet while I was waiting to move in... Everyone thought I was crazy because mesh has taken over but I love my old dependable wires.

I love being able to preheat the oven while I'm at the store getting the kids their corn dogs or whatever. My fridge has wifi but I never even bothered to set it up. The advantium microwave oven is set up but I've never used it. They should add a reset feature to the apps though because sometimes the microwave gets itself in a bizarre state and needs a reboot.

I think there's a lot more to this story. Neighbors claim he had his power shut off and was heating his home via a fire pit before it burned down? Sounds like there might be lots of crazy in that neighborhood. Gives me a healthy appreciation for my sane and friendly neighbors.

A Melkia Scopedog feels like an easy TWE release to fill in the gap. A Brutishdog would be lovely.

It's like they read and responded to all of my criticisms!

I PM'ed the guy with the 19F wanted thread that it was available earlier today... hopefully he moves fast. 

Box looks exactly the same BUT it doesn't have the flip top lid any more. 

Right on for doing that!

Bleh, the shipping issues are real. ThreeZero just told me they can't ship me two tiny parts to fix my Focker 1S toy until the US rescinds its tariffs. Woof. I hope this gets resolved before the Glaug hits.

Did anyone ship to the US from ShowZ? Are we being hit with crazy tariffs?

Well, that confirms it, no more Macross elements. I like it more... though I do wish they gave us a heat shield. 

LOL, I'm just now getting to Yamato Weathering releases, you gotta give me like ten years before I'll get to the stuff releasing today! 

I want to see some pics of the new version before I grab another.

Just received a tracking number for my Macross Jetfire.

Wait, you mean "non Macross Jetfire" now right since it's the one without the Macross embellishments?

If "Toyrise" is a model line, that's just rude. I feel like I pre-ordered some Scopedogs from this line and expected them to be like the old Actic Gear toys.

The under kibble is absolutely obscene, no landing gear for that Legioss.

Toyrise is a Takara line.... very odd. 

Anyone know a shop still selling the next reissue of the Eta? The only place I could find was Nin Nin and I don't really trust them. 

Ruh Roh... I'll definitely be looking when I pull mine out for the Tread review!
