I love how NY is always villianized everywhere. They offer the lowest preorder prices for most items, even after adding shipping charges, they still end up around the same or lower than most other shops without shipping. But yeah, they are terrible thieves out to steal your money Every other shop has unfavorable conversion rates too if you use them for conversion. Like mentioned, always pay in yen and let your card do the conversion, which will be the current rate. Even if you have fees, it will be better.

Lol!

Haha, that's a familiar scene to a lot of people here I'm sure! I could make a full time job out of organizing my boxes.
-
Amazing work! Look forward to seeing it more So about $1 more each? Nbd.

Trust me, everytime I look through my storage my mind is blown by what I find. Every box I open is filled with gems, many of which I don't even remember buying. FWIW, most of my stuff is boxed away in bigger cardboard boxes or plastic bins. Both methods suprisingly protect the contents very well even if the cardboard boxes get a little crushed from overstacking. I try to pack the boxes and stack them in a way that helps preserve everything but sometimes it doesn't work out exactly as you want when you are overflowing with boxes. I need to go through it all to find stuff to sell and also find the one 1:48 Valk I own, Max with Super Parts. With my luck, it's in a box under everything else in the back of one of the storage rooms so I'll basically never get to it.
-
Very nice but all I see is an endless amount of work for me to do that with two storage sheds filled to the brim with misbs. I don't even care at this point as long as the toys are good and the boxes legible.
-
Yeah, that would take a completely new adapter. Could just use a flightpose for the inverted Valk but then you run the risk of those touchy tampos coming off from the stand.
-
I'm already thinking about what parts I need from @ChaoticYeti to acheive something like this!
-
Seems like it should be doable with the right amount of arms. Unless you mean inverted.
-
So, do the 31's tab in?
-
Thanks! So, I'm not doing anything wrong then? It just basically sits on top of the adapter, hanging there? This is my first DX I've opened and I'm used to the Arcadia Valks that solidly lock in with the adapters.
-
Ah thanks! I've seen that before and just assumed it was a custom. Thanks a lot, now I'm going to search for it to see how much I get raped if I want the set.
-
What effect parts?!
-
Like I said, that's what I'm doing! Speaking of which @Saburo mentioned he used Yetistands to hold the 31s vertically. Just wondering, does the stand adapter that comes with the 262 actually clip in for anyone else or is it meant to just let the Valk hang there with the tabs loosely in the gaps of the Valk? The rear tabs especially seem to do nothing except guide the Valk in the right position but is not secure in any way.
-
Lol! I'm not too worried about my shipment but you got charged 1000 extra? How many sets did you buy? Loving all the M&M pics!
-
Nice to know a Yetistand can hold the Valks vertically. I've been planning on displaying most my 31s just like that with SHF Walkure figures. Yep! Been thinking about that since before any of them were released.
-
I'd be fine if no new VF-1s are made and actually prefer that for now but if something does come...ALL IN!
-
Of course! That scene is the only reason I bought the Hikaru 1/60 that just came out. So the real reason they changed it up was to sell another Valk variant!
-
While Max is my favorite character, nothing is more iconic than Roy's Black and Yellow Skull Leader VF-1S.
-
Your most recent Macross or toy purchase! General thread.

Thanks! I'll check your thread out and let you know. Very nice! -
I agree! I think the F and C look the best overall but will see how the others turn out. The S will be interesting even though it gets the most s#!+ on for doing nothing. Considering I just got the 262, I don't expect the 31F to arrive for another couple weeks.
-
Damn! Looking good @Saburo! Looking forward to getting mine!
-
They probably didn't hear about it
-
For sure! But I will say the only two transformable toys that I ever did not try to transform right out the box was this 262 and the recent MP Megatron. All the horror stories about both and mainly, not enough time have prevented me so far. From the pictures I've seen, the 262 looks better in Gerwalk and Battroid mode to me but after seeing the fighter mode in hand, I think that mode looks damn good too. I think I may end up leaving this one in Battroid mode the most but will see. And yeah, all transformable toys must be transformed!
-
Thanks man! I definitely will post pics of the 31F as soon as I get my hands on it. I choose slow/cheap shipping so it's still on the way and I just got that 262 the other day.
