Latest additions to the hoard... Hayate and friends count as three... VF-31AX+Armor Parts+Ghosts, Figma Metroid Dread Samus (Find the ball :P), Moscow Takeda, and soon I'll fly the VF-171 Revival up top.
-
Anyone else receive a "change of design email" from AmiAmi for the VF-0A Shin + Ghost? What does that even mean?
-
Cabinet could barely contain him and his giant axe... Spectacular figure Moshowtoys... only gripes were it initially arrived disintegrated, but managed to put humpty dumpty back together. That and one of the pegs going into a scabbard holder broke off in the part. Wrecked everything to get it out. Submitted a help request at ShowZstore to see if they could replace the two parts. Think this shelf is done.

Snagged the dread Samus and found particle effects that pair well with it elsewhere. I think some of the effects will work well with my Shmup figures, too... we'll see... The wall attachment was what drew me to pull the trigger. Price wasn't great, but not terrible, either.

Neon Genesis EVANGELION General Thread

Watched video. Preordered. -
I went through ShowZStore via pre-order ages ago. https://showzstore.com/ Their points system is awesome and they award chunks of points periodically. I've saved a bunch of money by switching to... er... using their points. I've been debating on the premium membership to triple them, but haven't pulled the trigger on that yet. Sorry, here's the direct link to it: https://showzstore.com/moshow-mct-j02c-takeda-shingen-ultimate-level-special-version_p5292.html

My special Takeda just shipped, will look neat in its Ashura pose next to my spear-throwing Lancelot. That Kshatriya looks neat, but really feeling that middle one. I already have the ultimate Lu Bu on his horse :P.
-
They're out, I snagged my ghosts last weekend from Ebay. They've been out a while, maybe November last year.
-
To be sure, odds are not in our favor regarding asploding triangles?
-
$33 bucks for me on air small parcel, just paid it.
-
Thanks man, I have the jettison videos of the old school GBPs. I'm looking for the jettison of Zettai Live! Armor parts on the VF-31AX. I appreciate the link to the GBP videos. I simply cannot find anything on the Zettai Live! movie aside from brief clips =/. I'm subbed to multiple anime channels and cannot find the movie, either :(. Otherwise, I'd love to watch it and reference the jettison from the movie.
-
My VF-31AX Armor just came in. Does anyone have a snapshot or better yet, short clip, from when Hayate jettisons his super armor available? I also just got my shipping notice on both my Armored VF-171 renewal AND my white Moshowtoys Takeda. Very excite!
-
Dunno how I missed them, but I snagged a pre-order for Lancelot and Barbatos today from KappaHobby. Price was fair, I think ~ 477 + free shipping for both.
-
I would only use these for Hi-Metal R or lightweight applications. That y-bit is part of the jank. Not supposed to be used like that. Nothing the ingenuity of a little beer here and there couldn't handle. The fit on the adapters is good, but I can only speak in terms of the vf-2ss. The parts do seem to be cheaper clones of the default hi-metal r stands.

-
So I got my jank AliExpress stands in... 33 bucks for 10 of them. I know there's work to be done and it's not as cool as official stuff, but... You've seen trident, stage act, and even elusive Yeti stands! I now present you guys... Jankstands!

https://www.usagundamstore.com/products/macross-plus-dx-chogokin-yf-21-guld-goa-bowman-machine Less expensive than BBTS?* Note the snark here, shipping and whatnot is a factor.
-
Thank you for helping me manage my expectations. I'm expecting them to "nope" me then. All I can do is ask, right?
-
I'm thankful folks were able to get a copy from BBTS, but I just couldn't bring myself to support their out-the-gate price. Being a WWM release, I'm expecting to be able to walk into a local store and buy one off their shelf at a lower price than BBTS is posting (both my 0S and Kairos were like that). There's something special about finally being able to walk into an ordinary local hobby store and just finding one of these unicorns to buy. I realized I managed to snag both my VF-0/Ghost and YF-21 from AmiAmi, release dates are May and June respectively... Does anyone have insight on if AmiAmi will entertain combining those two items to ship together?
-
Got one at AmiAmi... F5 spamming for the win.
-
To be fair, if prices open at that range it may create an environment where those sales on stock will hit sooner rather than later, right?
-
That BBTS listing is just fire under my butt to NOT get one here. For perspective, I paid less for my Gunbuster GX-34r shipped the other day.
-
I reckon we're just waiting on the bots to empty out AmiAmi and any bits that might appear elsewhere... Then watch the same happen to those sold on the US side as resellers snatch up inventory to maintain their investment value. Looking at Amazon.jp, you can snag one... at 50K+ Yen now.
-
I went on a quest to find a stand that did this that was not the Tamashi stand due to the absurdity of the price at this stage. I found some Aliexpress specials, but we'll see if they actually work. Ten of them were half the price of a single Tamashi one O_o. Stay tuned next for next month once I get them.
