  1. It's obviously been available at some point because most people I heard from got it there. You just missed it. Like with Macross toys, you gotta be quick. Sometimes relying on an email alert won't be fast enough so you gotta check back often or follow threads where people post about it like here for Macross. Anyway, if I see it available again, I'll try to pm you.
  2. I got mine from TRU.com (with the help of sh9000)...It's the only place I can ever get exclusive figures. They will show up again and you just have to be ready to pounce when it does. Pretty lame and I'm getting sick of the games we have to play as adults to get adult collectible items but just gotta deal with it or pay the higher price elsewhere if you want this stuff.
  3. Looking good! the minifigs are a nice addition!

    Not your pics? They are great either way.
  5. Odd...that's not my quote but I agree. I haven't shipped my Xabungle yet but looking forward to it!
  6. 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!
  8. 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.

    Macross figures

    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.
  13. Nice! Model airplanes has always been a love of mine and he newer, high detailed diecast ones have been calling me.
  14. 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.
  15. 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.
  16. 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.
  17. 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?
  18. 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.
  19. Regular version up at HLJ now for„36,800 a bit less than amiami
  20. 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.
  21. 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.
  22. 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!
  23. Macross collectors always buy all versions in multiples right?
