Not your pics? They are great either way.

Odd...that's not my quote but I agree. I haven't shipped my Xabungle yet but looking forward to it! -

Nice haul! I haven't picked up the Modular Iron Man yet mainly because I don't think it looks like the Modular Armor design from the comics and the look suits War Machine better to me. Still, it's a great looking figure and I see it's on sale currently...Hmmm. -
LOL!

Wow, you're doing custom Marvel figures too @sh9000? Nice! I finally just watched Logan last night. Surprisingly good movie. I went to 4 Targets and a few Walgreen's over the weekend and saw 0 new ML or BS figures. I did find a TDKR Joker to pretty much complete my Batman collection. The only other figure I'd want is a shriveled Superman if someone ever made one. -
How that's not the case. I want the rest of Walkure and definitely Britai. I've seen a bunch of Star Wars SHF figures go on heavy clearance and they still pump those out so no reason to be sure Macross SHF is done.
-
Conversely, some people prefer to deal with them as their #1 choice. It's going to be difficult getting support from most of the overseas shops although I haven't had much trouble.
-
NP! And you definitely want the Monster! It's artillery, not meant to be super agile but lays down massive firepower. It's one of the finest HMR, build wise. Full of ratchets, metal joints and surprisingly articulated for what it is. There are still deals on it and worth regular price even.

Their conversion rate won't be as good as the real rates. The only time it makes sense to use USD is if you anticipate the rates to go worse when it comes time to pay. That way, you pay the USD no matter what the rate at the time is. That's probably why their rates are worse too..to protect them from conversion rate changes. I always pay in yen.

Nice! Model airplanes has always been a love of mine and he newer, high detailed diecast ones have been calling me. -
For those that aren't familiar with Sentinal figures, they often come with several stand options including a metal post for flight poses. Like this: I'm not too concerned about the figure standing and the stand options it comes with...Sentinel preoducts are pretty damn good...probably one of the best and quickly becoming one of my favorite companies. I did ask @ChaoticYeti if he could make an adapter for the Sentinel Re:Edit Hulkbuster a while ago but didn't follow up. I'm sure it would be easy for him.

A lot of cool looking items I've never seen or heard of. Some of those bug mecha remind me of Megabug Gladiators: The scorpion is one of my all time favorite toys.
-
Thanks! I open the shipping boxes to check out because I get so many all the time, I need to know what's arriving. It's the toy boxes themselves that take me a while to get to. I usually try to at least open just to check those too but sometimes I just can't.
-
It still looks real good and I would expect it to be plain compared with customs that have countless hours of extra work behind them. Has it been mentioned how long it took to achieve those looks?
-
Haha, yeah. Exactly the same situation! My stacks of unopened boxes are taking so much space, I'm getting a bit worried because I have more things coming all the time but no time to open them.

Regular version up at HLJ now for¥36,800 a bit less than amiami

Yeah, they look great but I don't need multiple versions of the same/similar characters and then multiple versions of those from different companies. I'm sticking with Mezco for the ones I really like and feel are important enough to have the premium Mezco version of. Plus, Revo is making incredible versions of a lot of Marvel Comic characters too. My marvel collection is already taking up way more space than I planned for. I hear you on the Mezco articulation in the ankle and some other parts too. I feel they could do a much better job, especially given the price they charge. -
That looks amazing! And it also looks like days and weeks of time and skill I don't have to dedicate to it. Maybe I'll end up buying both versions, opening and enjoying the PE and have the other to customize one day.

Nice! -
I don't think I could do much better...and finding/making the glowing stickers and applying all that plus the time it takes to do it all...it will be worth it to me to pay the premium. Love seeing the custom work people do though!
-
Macross collectors always buy all versions in multiples right?
-
Nice! I thought it looked better in Gerwalk and especially Battroid mode in pics but seeing how good the Fighter looks in hand, I'm sure I'll be blown away by the other modes. Maybe I'll just wait for the Lil guys to arrive to enjoy it all at once. haha, yeah life! Work has been killing me and I have two young kids (one of them a baby) so I'm exhausted everyday. I have time to open something and maybe swoosh it around a bit and take a few pics and that's it. I usually transform everything I open right away but I know this one will take some time that I don't currently have. The 262 and MP-36 Megatron are the only figures I have that I didn't transform right away and still haven't.
-
Haha, yeah I get it...been on forums long enough now. Thing is, it's people's opinions and input that helped me and I'm sure others learn about many things regarding the hobby, including where to buy things. So, if someone is going to bash a shop about one thing, I think it's worth discussing and sharing thoughts about why they might have an issue and basically go over all sides possible. I appreciate all I've learned from reading various forums and it would suck for someone new to brush off a great option because of a couple negative comments. You know...:
-
Not up at HLJ either or AE either. I'm glad I never got the Cosmo Fleet SDF-1 now. I know they are different versions and sizes but money better spent towards this PE one for me. Gonna be another Macross collecting milestone for me when I get it.
-
Hey, if people are going to state the cons, we gotta have the pros As for the 262, beautiful but I still haven't transformed mine. Looking forward to the day I can take the time to enjoy it.
