Your most recent Macross or toy purchase! General thread.
Slave IV replied to Gakken85's topic in Hall Of The Super Topics
Thanks! Are those the KOs? I'm sure those and the official are both well worth the money. My main thing is waiting for them to release a Gundam I want (recognize). I have no idea where the releases so far even come from but I haven't watched any Gundam since G Gundam. -

Cool! I need to get a Metal Build Gundam just to experience one myself. -
Looks super clean. Nice job!
-
I just checked my 31F again, seems good. Whew!
-
That's a 35th anniversary figure (as it also says in your link text) and it's not Roy. Either way, you should grab one, it looks sweet. I ordered already.
-
What about the 31? Seems loved universally.
-
Yeah, the 31J armors, HMR missiles, Milia and most other ones I can think of all stayed open until about a month before release if I remember correctly. Anyways, not messing around and missing the preorder.
-
Looks like the lil drakens are still available at NY so that 5/22 date was wrong or maybe by the end of the day they will stop. Seems odd considering how long all the other exclusive preorders stayed open but whatever the case I ordered mine just in case. Wanted to wait until the last min which should be months from now but at least it's out of the way along with the 31F parts I ordered together with it.
-
Sweet! I need some stands like that. Or the background art!

Not a bad idea! I see you have a nice collection of TB MLs too! I have so many, I don't know what to do but just keep them as is. You could sell a couple and buy the loose apocalypse with the money too. -

Oh definitely. That's what I do with the BAF Galactus. 3.75" FF and Silver Surfer displayed with him. -

He's officially listed as 6'7", 900+ lbs but depending on the current power level he's at, I've seen him drawn infinitely large. -

Do you have the Marvel Select Thanos? I think that is the best one currently available. -
Wow, I'm loving the missile set more and more. Just got mine, can't wait to open!
-
Nah, sh9000 and his HMR collection alone can keep them afloat And I'll be there to pick up the crumbs. That's the thing, I don't care how long it takes. Getting something in a few days with EMS or FedEx compared to about a week in most SAL cases means nothing to me in the scheme of life. But saving $10-$40+ per figure, especially when I'm buying hundreds of figures a year ads up to a lot of free figures or money saved quick! Its definitely a good conversation and I'm not surprised to see the comparisons posted confirm my own calculations I've done many times. I've never used BIJ before but it's good to know about what they offer. The main thing is there was so much negativity in here and I'm glad some good info came out of it at least.
-
And still cheaper than the cheapest option at the other spot so... I dunno, I don't care who buys what from where. I've played the calculation game many times and bottom line is, for regular releases, NY is always cheaper than the rest, regardless of any extra couple dollars they need for shipping. HLJ is sometimes close and maybe less in very rare and special cases (not regular releases). I hope people who always complain stop buying from NY so it makes my preorders easier, lol.

Cute! -
Haha, in the end, I don't care about any of these companies. They are providing a service of getting me product I want. Whoever can do that for the lowest price gets my business because I end up with the same product. I consistently see complaints about NY but they must have different factors involved in order to consistently offer the lowest prices. It doesn't matter to me if I have to pay an extra $2 to ship something if my final price is the same as just the product without shipping elsewhere. If that is morally wrong for some people to accept, just pay more for the product elsewhere.
-
Not to mention always having prices lower than the competition even with shipping charges compared to others without shipping...so much to complain about, lol!
-
What was the deadline for the 31J parts? Seems like that was available for order on NY up to about a month before release? Is the deadline just for Bandai's shop and it will still be available at NY?

I just got one of these from Disneyland the other day: Not my pic and haven't opened it yet but remote controlled with opening doors and projectile launching. Couldn't pass it up. In other news, HLJ has an anniversarry raffle and seems like a good way to get some free credits to buy more Valks. Link here. -
Look forward to getting them but want the rest and other Macross figures too.
-
Oh man! Looks great!
-
Oh hell yeah!

No idea. Besides the 1/144 stuff I haven't been paying attention to larger scale aircraft since I was in my early teens. Hope to hear some suggestions but I can also check with a friend who has been getting some. I'd be more interested in highly detailed, possibly diecast and mostly built for you models at this point. Don't have time for building much anymore.
