    These are comic characters so think of the other lines as different representations by different artists, which is what they are. Also helps that the figures are way better but they also come with a price tag to match. You know you want them. Either way, I’m glad there are other companies making Marvel and Star Wars figures and I like the Hasbro offerings as well. Especially since they go deep into the rosters. Speaking of which, I just picked these up: I’ve been hoping for some version of the Jump Troopers since they showed up in Star Tours.

    I haven’t had time to do much other than check them out and take that quick pic but initial impressions are real good. They feel overall as good as the Re:Edit Armors I have. These are a bit hefier but the articulation is not as refined. A decent trade off especially considering these are old designs compared to the newer Armors Sentinel focused on. Bottom line is these are a great addition to my Iron Man collection. I just hope either One:12, Amazing Yamaguchi or Re:Edit makes pointy face mask and Silver Centurion and I’ll be a happy camper.

    Yeah, definitely. Too bad the Valks aren’t priced as reasonably or I’d get some of those too.

    Simply beautiful! Look forward to receiving mine. Meanwhile, I finally received both my Mezco Iron Men

    Lol, here is the original post with the link:

    For me yes, but looks like the price increased slightly. https://m.intl.taobao.com/detail/detail.html?spm=a230r.1.14.19.37c34346i0PS8O&id=545256270584&ns=1&abbucket=18#detail it was 111 before extra shipping and now I think it’s 118.

    Yeah, whatever the case, AJ is becoming a major player in this game. I forgot the calculation for the Arcadia stands but NY was again slightly cheaper but I already ordered at AJ so I didn’t bother to cancel and reorder at NY.

    Nice work!

    Thanks! I don't think you can go wrong for under $20. It gives a nice additional option for looks on these VF-1s that most of us have a bunch of. Just a warning that you should keep an eye on your order status because I didn't realize mine would be sent to a distribution center where I had to login and pay an additional fee to have it sent from China to the US. After a period of time, they start to charge you a storage fee and then they might eventually return the item to seller.

    I've done the calculations and for most the things I buy, It's still cheaper at NY but AJ has faster shipping. Since I don't care about fast shipping (especially when it comes in a thin, flimsy box), NY is still the better option to me...IF I am able to lock down a preorder at initial price.
  11. Slave IV
    Yeah, NY sucks ass now but IF you do get an order through at the initial price, it is still the cheapest and that is all I care about.
  12. Slave IV
    Thanks, I finally found it too. I think I still need the other P-Car you got recently though.
  13. Slave IV
    I always recommend Nippon-Yasan...IF you can get a preorder in before they decide to cartjack you and raise the price.

    Looking good to me Fit isn't as perfect as genuine but that was to be expected. It does the intended job so I'm happy.

    Bandai DX VF-31

    Slave IV replied to UN Spacy's topic in Toys

    Definitely...just a joke. My old roommate used to watch Macross Frontier more often than I did. She put me on to a lot of other anime that I didn't know about.

    Looks like I was too little too late

    How could I forget?! At least there would be no way to keep misb so saves from having to get another 50.

    Unless she is @Shizuka the Cat she is just going to tell you to stop buying toys, especially if you don’t even know what you have.

    So I should have bought 50 of these things?

    So it sounds consistent. My SSP Set was ordered separately and just came on a flimsy generic box. All good. Gonna put the clear parts on a genuine SSP set tomorrow and see how it goes
  23. Slave IV
    Interesting. I didn’t even know any middleman would be involved when I ordered. Oh well, nbd as if it was anything like the super parts box, nothing really to miss but a cheap box and plastic.

    Bottom pic r to left front to back F-104, Mirage 2000, F-15, MiG-29, F-86, F-4, F-16 (or actually, is that an F-2?). For the rest, I’m not so good with propeller driven aircraft but a BF109, P-51 and a Spitfire...

    I almost forgot I ordered the clear cover parts and when I checked my Taobao order, it said my item was sitting in a distribution center and I needed to pay additional shipping. It was close to getting cancelled but glad I caught it in time. Once I figured it out and paid, it arrived very quickly and I got it today. This is how it showed up. No protection at all, just a bag in a bag. NBD, it seems fine and I’ll check it out and hopefully post some pics tomorrow.
