  1. Haha, he's hanging out along with the F-14 enjoying the view. Can't wait for Sentinel to put out their Ride Armor and after I get my self in another room setup, will be doing some rearranging.

    That's kinda wack...When did they start including it?
  3. I'm sure most that X-Men wave will be on ~$10 clearance like the previous one so I'm not in a rush. By the time I decided I wanted Dougram, it was sold out at all the good preorder prices. Hopefully the one I just ordered will come through. I just ordered Xabungle too. I'm not missing any more HMR releases.

    Cool! These stands and figures can be finicky, especially when working in a cramped space but they are still a lot of fun! Poor lighting but it was the best I could do late at night. Also, while messing around with the figures, I noticed 1S Roy didn't come with covers for the upper shoulder area...is this correct or did I just miss them?
  5. Ah, makes sense. Good deal in that case! I have not seen the new X-Men wave at retail yet. I really want Shatterstar! Saw them in person last night at a specialty shop but not paying the markup. Meanwhile, I think I might have secured an HMR Dougram for myself, finally.
  6. Whut? How? I saw Maestro and almost bought it but passed because I wasn't going to pay $13+ for a 3.75"...I hate paying that much for the 6" versions.

    Even if NY restocks, they always raise the price from their super low preorder prices.
  8. Sweet! I need one of those. Only wish it actually changed shape like in the comics. Thanks for the insight on those GT Spirits, Mechanic and spanner! I'll just pass on them all for now, oh well. Nice Mclarens too! I just saw a P1 in person over the weekend, very nice. F1 is definitely my favorite all time Mclaren though.
  9. Hay spanner or anyone else...Any input/advice about the 1:18 GT Spirit 993 911 Turbos? Those are the only ones I can find for the 993 911 Turbo and I don't know anything about GT Spirit. Thanks!
  10. Taking notes on places to loot... jk
  11. Yep! As good as the other ones are, I'm pretty sure I'll like the Sentinel version more. I'll pay their prices happily for it too.
  12. What?! I want this too!
  13. I've heard about all the previous releases but never was able to get any. I love Sentinel so I'm kinda glad I missed all the others and I'm sure I'll be very happy with this upcoming release. I'll probably get the Figma version too.
  14. Finally made it over to this thread. The announcement of the Sentinel Ride Armor is the best news I've heard since about 1984. I almost don't care about any other releases and just want this now. Sentinel usually makes repaints/retools so I would be amazed if we don't see variants after the initial release.
  15. I'm not here to take pot shots and I don't care where people buy from. Again, I have done my own comparisons and for me, NY is about the same and sometimes cheaper than HLJ for shipping. YMMV.
  16. I compared shipping prices for the same items for NY, HLJ, AE and amiami...HLJ was usually cheapest but NY was right there with them on most items and even cheaper for some. Works for me.
  17. Good point! A couple years ago they were bad with pricing but then got really good...they now consistently have the lowest prices and that's what matter most to a like of people (me included). They might be getting a lot more business than they used to and need time for adjustment. It's all good with me because again, I don't care when my items arrive as long as they arrive. I just want the lowest prices.
  18. Anyone mesing with this crew is in for a world of hurt.
  19. That looks mighty swell!
  20. Yeah, I was pretty much over Mafex based on their other releases but this Kylo Ren has won me over and I'll still be keeping my eye on their releases because of it. I have ROTJ Boba Fett and that seems to be better than previous releases but still not great...this Kylo is a step up from Boba and definitely on the same level or even beter than SHF in this one case. I'm actually wondering about the Sandtrooper now because I haven't put together my Bandai kit version yet.
  21. Yeah...these things are years in the making. I don't care if it takes weeks or even months to get to me. Mine are still in preparation at NY too and I'm fine with it.
  22. Nice! I'm waiting for the classic comic version. How do you like the weapons it comes with? Are the gimmicks worthy or just "gimmicks"? I haven't had time to take any pics lately but I had to get a couple quick shots of Mafex Kylo Ren to see how the scarf turned out in my pics: The promo pics of the scarf were really bugging me and that along with Mafex's poor reputation made me almost regret ordering this figure. Having it in hand completely changed my mind and it looks amazing. The best 1/12 Kylo Ren figure for sure. The molded scarf material doesn't like lights in photos and comes off not as good looking (in the promo pics, it looks like a cheap fisher price molded blob) but in person, it looks real and matched almost perfectly with the cloth. If anything, it looks better than the real cloth. Also, check out the detail molded in the eyes! I'll be boxing up my Black Series versions and the only reason I want to open my SHF version now is to use the lightsaber with this figure...it's the only part I think SHF did a better job on.
  23. I like the clear version better than the regular one...Too bad it's so expensive.
