The "standard" Max hasn't gone up anywhere has it - just the "standard" Milia?
-
Yeah, iPhone without flash, also the color of the wood underneath probably doesn't help ;-) -
Mine arrived this morning. Seems pretty shiny white.
-
I'm in Melbourne and got mine on the Monday after a Saturday payment, so it can be quite quick to Oz.

I'm kinda in the opposite space in that feeling burnt out on the third party Transformers. Expensive beautiful figures that are often not well tested and can be prone to break. I've quite a few expensive recent third party purchases which I know I'm better off not transforming because even reviewers who really know what they are doing are getting breaks and stress marks. With the Arcadia and Bandai stuff I have a reasonable expectation that they've been somewhat extensively tested (the VF-0 leg issues aside). With the third party stuff, companies appear and disappear. You can spend $600 collecting a combiner only to have it not be able to stand up straight (none of the Dinobot combiners were all that great in combined mode, but you'd already sunk hundreds of dollars into them before you learned that lesson). There is also the "later is better" - so if you had invested in one combiner team early on, you're faced a few years later with another manufacturer doing the same team but with better techniques. So for a while I'm holding off on 3rd party TFs. I've kinda got most characters I want anyway and I'll spend more time and money on Macross stuff. I'll probably burn out eventually on that, but at the moment each pre-order day is kinda exciting and I'm enjoying the thrill of the chase and the catch.

Got mine at AmiAmi

It is a white/black Valk color scheme, but where someone looks like they spilled a couple of gallons of blood and giblets across the inside of the cockpit glass.
-
Mmmmm. Milk.
-
Arrived (Melbourne, Oz) just before I went out the door (rather than 5 minutes after I went out the door ;-)
-
Just paid for mine at AmiAmi
-
Great to get it at HLJ. That way if they do a premium version before release, I can switch horses without amiami cancellation angst.
-
I got one of the Telstra Netgear Nighthawks - gets 150Mbps down, 50Mbps up - costly, but worth it if you live in a Telstra 4G area and your ADSL is flakey.

Ever have one of those moments when your wife rings right as a preorder goes up? That was me today. Managed to one hand it through amiami, but bloody hell woman. Timing. I don't interrupt you when you are buying shoes!

Win at AmiAmi
-
I wonder, when Spanner goes to a buffet, if he gets 3 of each dish.
-
Or even allow retailers a discounted price, with certainty at a higher price at the Bandai online shop. That way retailers get their win and everyone else gets certainty at a premium.

It does seem an unnecessarily complex method of separating willing donors/fanatics/addicts from their money. Surely there should be an easier way of separating us from our cash.

Wasn't going to buy Messer ... and then suddenly another Valk.
-
Wonderful! Really was hoping it would be one of these!

Licensed BattleTech Atlas Resin Statue
orindlt replied to orindlt's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
If it does get up, they will make other mechs from the BattleTech lineup. All based off the art from MechWarrior Online and the new turn based game. This may include the re-seen. -
Given that I've seen a few MWF members talking about BattleTech, figured some of you might be interested in an "official crowdfunded" 10 inch resin Atlas figure. https://battletechgear.com/product/atlas-resin-sculpture/ - $195 US if they get 1000 pre-orders before Jan 15 (it's been up about a week and got 300 or so pre-orders). If it doesn't get up, no charge. They haven't got estimated shipping yet.
-
No problem here either with the nose.
-
So I saw on the Twitters that the next 31 will be up for preorder on the 6th of Jan, same time as the HMR Spartan
-
Got my HLJ payment request
-
And rock and roll. IXTL thank you!
