    June 6th - can't tell you how early in the morning it was, but I was doing the browser refreshing madness bit... Then learned the next day that I didn't have to :P.

    I haven't posted because I've been trying to give them the benefit of the doubt, but their customer service has been terrible. I've had issues with their delivery system even when I contact them weeks in advance and ask them to combine shipments - they either won't or fail to. This is even trying to use their warehouse. I had it happen once and owned the matter and let it slide, but the second time? I tried way in advance, got their own support person to assert the shipments would be combined, and then they denied they said it. I have yet to find the right combination of secret sauce to make it work as intended, there's always a reason that it doesn't or can't. I've also paid for items they said they had ready to ship to then learn there was a delay... OK, fine, that happens... So I wait, even until well after their next target date to follow-up and they kept kicking the can because of a supplier delay. Meanwhile, the items appear on E-bay, stateside Amazon, HLJ, you name it... I wait two weeks then ask them again, same canned supplier delay message, no actual update, no alternative options, nothing. They've held my money for months and months at this point. I've stopped using any payment method except credit card with them to ensure if they play games that I have recourse outside of their customer service - and this has proven the most valuable tool to deal with them so far when things go sideways. Take a close look at their refund/return/restock policies - they have everything to gain and nothing to lose when it comes to canceled/refunded orders. I ramped up my orders with them beginning mid-last year because I was feeling OK about them, too. I've even posted some of their fantastic deals. Here, recently, they've been a train wreck for me. Hoping it improves because they've landed/will land in the merchant of last resort bucket for me.

    I don't know what kind of devilry Yoyakunow is practicing... But I literally just paid for my Ozma and it's being delivered tomorrow. I'll have to admit that it took a minute to get an update on the order, but once the update came in Yoyakunow has been world-class on it. I wish my recent Nin-Nin Game experiences were even remotely this good. They have been absolutely horrific lately.

    XR glasses are the best way to get some bedtime gaming in before racking out... The biggest benefit of the Ally X is unmarrying the handheld from proprietary overpriced eGPUs. Snag yourself a dock, a decent GPU, and a powersupply and your Ally X is now a desktop replacement. I would recommend the ADT-UT3G - almost all the performance and very little loss. My setup destroys Stalker 2 and Indiana Jones.

    Let me know how that one goes for you, I've been debating buying and building this.

    Archistands got here. For a Lego-brained DIYer... I'm going to have fun with these. Building and lighting my new cabinet, but once I'm done I'll be all over these. Since I got it at a steal risking my life buying it via Facebook marketplace my wife gave me a hall pass.

    I just got notice to pay for shipping. Least expensive option is a little over 9000 yen then climbs to over 12k yen to the US. Seems steep, but the box weighs 2.6 kilograms?
  9. Test_Pilot_2
    These are super cool, but I'm confident that if I started adding even MORE cabinets... my wife would kill me in my sleep.
  10. Test_Pilot_2
    It's the Final Fantasy Ifrit Gundam.
  11. Test_Pilot_2
    Nope, nada, but we'll see. I'm checking it regularly to see if there are any changes.
  12. Test_Pilot_2
    So I was looking at the Unicorn... and said... wait... are those ENVELOPE tiles... There are envelope tiles in there. Definitely next-level. These things have to weigh a ton, but look like they're standing on their own. I wonder how they're supported. Especially the huge Unicorn.
  13. Test_Pilot_2
    Not a major change, but enough change to assert the Beefintseeker's capital-ship finding and sniping role with the large long-range missiles mounted on the arm. Think I'll find a Messer HMR VF-1 to dress up in the other armor.
  14. Test_Pilot_2
    Current version of Mazinkaiser. Had to request support from ShowZStore because one of the mounts on my scrander was machined wrong and instead of being a circle, it's an oval so the wing won't go in :(. It's dicast and the peg is dicast so muscling it is a no-go... still looks amazing. Once I can add the wings I plan for a different pose.
  15. Test_Pilot_2
    FEXT OWL-1 SP02 Armor I now have the missiles for the Beefinstseeker and need to find another Valk to dress up :P.
  16. Test_Pilot_2
    Anyone have experience with Yoyakunow on how they handle releases? Would've thought I'd have heard something by now on the Ozma =/.
  17. Test_Pilot_2
    CCS Toys Limited Mazinkaiser SKL. Box is massive. I could post the toy haul for my 5 kids from yesterday post-by-post, bur that would eat up too much space. Needless to say, filled two car loads of Ally X's, TVs, transformers, gundams, barbies, hot wheels, every Disney toy ever, games, PC parts, and then some.
  18. Test_Pilot_2
    Got some, sweet!

    This along with the turtles games, multiplayer avengers, Capcom DnD arcade game, battletoads, Golden Axe (later versions), and the Simpsons brawler are amongst my favorite 4-player games. I still need to buy a 4-player cabinet and modify it, I just can't bring myself to carve up my turtles 4-player cabinet. I keep eyeing the Golden Axe 4-player. Someday. AvP arcade is probably one of my favorites of all time. Needs the HD remaster treatment.

    I ended up buying another Ally X for my other son - one got the desktop upgrade, the other got a handheld upgrade. He bought Space Marine 2 and tried it on his Steam Deck and it was just awful... The Ally X runs it much better. I'm also building him an EGPU with the spare parts from his brother's build. So win-win. I just wanted to be fully transparent as I think next year will be transformative for these handheld PCs. My Ally X also replaced my personal laptop I travel with when I'm on TDY.

    Is today Archi Pro day or did it come and go? I may have totally missed it.
  22. Test_Pilot_2
    They're already here though... https://gamerant.com/ayaneo-teases-latest-flagship-handheld-gaming-device-amd-ai-9-cpu/ AMD's new chips are already hitting the market. The new Deck 2 is signaling a meaningful performance jump on new Nvidia chips. https://videocardz.com/newz/amd-ryzen-ai-365-hx370-gaming-handhelds-outperform-rog-ally-x-with-z1-extreme-by-15-20 My Allies have quickly replaced all of my other gaming devices, including my gaming PCs... Now that my EGPU enclosure works so well, I can enjoy this performance anywhere... I will never be tied to my desk again. Playing from a recliner in my living room or from my home theater recliners in the theater > everything else anymore lol. My current gen consoles collect dust, but I am upgrading my son's pc for grins. We'll see how it goes. AMD 7600x3d, Asus Mobo, 32 gigs of ram, nvidia 4070 super, phantom 120 cooler, etc. This combo is fantastic right now if you're near a MC and if you're curious about the processor, new reviews have been going out. Stealth-released... this processor is fantastic. https://www.microcenter.com/product/5006834/amd-ryzen-5-7600x3d,-asus-tuf-gaming-b650-plus-wifi,-gskill-flare-x5-series-32gb-ddr5-6000-kit,-computer-build-bundle Well, shoot the discount is gone... Back up to 600-ish. Sorry guys =/. It was $400.00 for a long while.
  23. Test_Pilot_2
    Very much so. The extra 8 gigs of ram is worth it. I also have the Z1 Extreme and turned that into my video pinball machine's PC for Pinball FX... nice and small so it even fits inside the cabinet. The move off the proprietary adapter is huge, too. I bought the 6850xt gpu for my Ally X and it was crazy expensive. I built that much more powerful egpu for a fraction of that cost. Although, where we are right now... I would say wait for the next generation of handhelds... word is the new ai-based chips perform much better.
  24. Test_Pilot_2
    Definitely getting a physical deluxe version of this... Has this been posted yet? I need to dual-boot my Egret 2 Mini still =/.
  25. Test_Pilot_2
    OK, this one was so much fun to play with and pose. I had to find a way to display the absurdity of its sword, lol.
