    Looks like the Yamato is the one to have for fighter display while the new Bandai is the one for battroid. Why not both?

    Pricing on this Kampfer inspired me to go find the "other" Kampfer.

    The hands of VF gods at work. Love that it started with fighter mode first.

    Managed to get my order in at ShowZStore. While partially a partsformer, the dicast and size make this an insta-buy for me. Given the complexity of the SHE version, I dunno if they could ever do one with significant dicast without it being eleventybillion dollars.

    How do I buy this?

    I picked up the ninja bot, too... It's at a fantastic price and in stock!!! https://www.usagundamstore.com/products/cangdao-cd-07j-ninja-chouchou-figure

    LMAO, I will after getting out of the hospital from blood loss.

    I don't know if anyone has experience with this figure, but I just snagged this one for $299... https://www.usagundamstore.com/products/legend-of-star-general-mnq-05x-god-of-war-lu-bu-deluxe-ver-1-72-scale-figure I'm expecting something to go sideways because that's a deep discount, but if not - it looks like a great deal?

    For anyone that could be in the market for the Eaglemoss Sulaco, here you go: https://www.walmart.com/ip/Sulaco-Xl/1688472017?wmlspartner=wlpa&selectedSellerId=101199581&gclsrc=aw.ds&&adid=22222222227804996977&wl0=&wl1=g&wl2=c&wl3=640100045239&wl4=pla-1927619026462&wl5=9015622&wl6=&wl7=&wl8=&wl9=pla&wl10=643346167&wl11=online&wl12=1688472017&veh=sem&gclid=Cj0KCQiAgaGgBhC8ARIsAAAyLfF192p8mWbTCLGjMMpdmoGNMNIwGbpMGnWjJI5H95UrYIrnxlE0c2AaAi13EALw_wcB Looks like fleabay and other channels have it for a bit more. Unless my sources are completely wrong, with free shipping, this looks to be close to MSRP. Eaglemoss went bankrupt, but this may be old news for folks here. I think there may be value in these downstream.

    *Edit - Success! Thanks for the AE link!

    I got the Bandai-Namco store crossed up with Premium Bandai...
  13. Test_Pilot_2
    Ugh, that was miserable - 26 minutes... I thought P-Bandai didn't charge until the item is ready to ship?
  14. Test_Pilot_2
    Holy balls.
  15. Test_Pilot_2
    OK, that Mazinkaiser has my attention. Thanks for sharing!

    Binged it yesterday. I thought it was absolutely awesome. IMO not at all about shock imagery - just does a great job of highlighting the absurdity of a chromed world.
  17. Test_Pilot_2
    It's like Anthem and Edge of Tomorrow had a baby.

    Really enjoyed the prologue. Plenty of Gundam derivatives to go around, but still good. I like the deeper-dive into the man-machine interfaces and the expansion on the space-based population's challenges. Don't want to spoil anything for others so keeping mum.

    Picked up a Steel Legend this morning from USA Gundam Store... Now to hit up ShowZ and pre-order Lazengann and Gunbuster... Gonna be hard not to get CCS Getter, but have to prioritize, lol. Odds the CCS Gunbuster will be similar to the SOC with Buster 1 and 2 combining? I'm thinking they're kinda low at this point, but hoping they do.

    Season 2 was better than 1. I still question the choices they made for the ladies... Ciri is spot-on, but Triss and Yennefer still have me scratching my head. Some tweaks to the witchers at Caer Morhen were objectionable to me. Dijkstra was unusual to me, too. Despite some casting shenanigans it's excellent. I liked another character they revealed that I thought was spot-on, but don't want to spoil it.

    Out of the blue, Showzstore sent me the replacement parts for my Gurren Lagann. They got here today. They came through for me and I'm looking to order more from them now. Have to figure out how to pull the old stuff out and replace it with the new. Carefully... it's one of the nicest pieces I've seen in ages.
  22. Test_Pilot_2
    No dice on the repair parts. I received an email back promptly... saying they were getting it fixed/dealt with and nothing so far beyond that. Who knows. We'll see what happens.
  23. Test_Pilot_2
    Yeah, it's pretty delicate - it's ABS plastic, too. I've honestly been pretty lucky in that I've not had to do repair work like this or the damage was such that it required the replacement of the whole unit. I think I can dremel out or even find a wire small enough to fit the holes on each piece. The base of the neck it connects to seems, well, flimsy, so I know I have to be careful there. Any recommendations on a bonding agent suitable for this? Factor in clumsy hands, too. Need to try to figure out if the torso can be disassembled to make it easier. I e-mailed the after sale care team yesterday, images and all. The outer box doesn't show much damage, but the inner tray is completely shattered where the feet of the toy were. Despite the decapitation, I've got several metal builds, naturally a plethora of Macross toys over the years, and some odds and ends. This Gurren Lagann is wonderful, among the best for me. Granted, I'm a big fan of the series, so maybe I'm biased, lol.

    Working on it, page just keeps spinning for the moment. In the meantime, working on fixing the joint. The hole is air/gap, but I might be able to get a pin in there. I didn't find a lose pin in the box. After searching, I realized the whole tray took damage - it's cracked all along the bottom, so despite the awesome shipping job it must've been dropped... from the top of the Freedom Tower. The rest of it is in great shape, so thankful for that.
  25. Test_Pilot_2
    Finally got my Gurren Lagann in after months... and heartbreak. The ball joint on the neck is snapped clean off. I think it's fixable, but damn. Has anyone else received one that was decapitated? How difficult was it to fix. Seems straightforward. If it's simple, doesn't seem worthwhile to return it. Anyone have experience with returns to ShowZ that can chime in?
