Cool! I got nothing against you or anyone else here...I found this forum to be extremely pleasant until all the recent bickering so just trying to clarify what's what and move on. My amiami 1A has not arrived either...
-
Yeah, that's the part I did find funny since SOC's are more expensive and you mention stuff about other people being rich and you not being able to afford... Anyways, I didn't know there was a seniority thing around here or any other forum to be able to participate in a conversation. Like I said, I don't care either way and agree that all this stuff is too expensive. I usually just ignore the stuff I don't want to pay for or make a couple posts about why I'm passing but you do you, it's all good. HMR line was a complete pass for me based on the reviews of the Valks but once I saw the Regult and other mechs, I was all in based on the unparralled display options they offer as a complete line. I really shouldn't be paying this kind of money for them but hey, I like Macross enough to sacrifice other wants for them.
-
I don't care either way but more evidence: OK, now that we've established one poster's preference is SOC over Macross and heard about his lower enthusiasm for the HMR line, let's move along! I really hope those Regult variants are not add on packs and full figures...I'm guessing one of those or the Spartan will be announced next.
-
Wow! Nice!
-
I'm just going to use my Monsterarts effects for the buildings and call it a day. If they make specific Macross ones, cool but I'd rather have more missiles and spaceship diorama type effects.
-
Yeah, I have clear arm pieces so even if it doesn't come with them, I'm covered. As for the overall look, anything can be improved and this version looks good enough to me. I definitely wouldn't mind if it was improved for actual release. But as it stands I'd buy what they have shown as is.
-
That stand looks like golly gee, whopity doo goodness. I would like to have one in my collection. Yeti stands are the best general stands out there, imo but this is not just a stand, it's basically another toy to me.
-
Yeah, I've been hoping for this to come out since I saw it. I don't care about the extra arms, all stands have arms and this one looks awesome. I'd just replace the bottom arm with a clear one anyway. And effect parts preordered! Yeah, they are overpriced but so is everything. I specifically asked for these and got them so there was no doubt I would buy.
-
Oh crap! They really did just read some posts here and said, oh you want that? Here you go! OK, now make the GPB kit and ruin me since I wasn't convinced yet to buying in on the line when that came out. Edit: Also need attachments for the booster pack missiles... So, this is a Tamashii exclusive, meaning it will be available at NY/AE with no pre-order madness?
-
Haha, I don't get it either...seems like Bandai is loving the money they are making from Macross and that usually just means more milking! Hook me up, I'm ready to be milked! Hmmm...eww but

Your most recent Macross or toy purchase! General thread.

Oh yeah, the figures included make that a really good deal. That le mans car is beautiful by the way. -
Nooooo! I always assumed variants like the missile and scout pods would be full figures, not add ons. The only reason I didn't buy more regular Regults. If they come as add on parts, I'm SCREWED!

Slave IV replied to Gakken85's topic in Hall Of The Super Topics
I've seen similar for less than $200...Here, for example. Edit: Oh, and here for the same version and yeah, several as in a few hundred... -
Yeah, I never EMS or fedex anything unless I have to. No reason to pay more just to get something I've waited months already for a few days sooner.
-
Oh hell yeah! Exactly what I was asking for! Where are the pre-orders?! Edit: well, not exactly because I'd rather have the mini rockets from the armor packs but there is hope!

Yeah, I've been eyeing that tank for a while but just never puled the trigger on it. It looks amazing! -
I don't like dealing with NY but I've never had a problem cancelling with them...given, I've only done it a couple times at most. I agree HLJ is the easiest to deal with but again, money talks. Saving $10-$20+ to get the same item in the end is a no-brainer for me. In all my recent comparisons of shipping prices, NY was actually cheaper but I always choose the cheap SAL with insurance if available. Anyways, glad this is out of the way and now I'm just hoping for an improved release of the 0A or another huge sale for the 0S like HLJ had.
-
Every penny counts! Almost $30 less than HLJ and the ability to combine, plus they've actually been comparable or cheaper than HLJ for shipping means I'm glad I waited. I swore off NY a while ago because they pissed me off but their recent prices for Macross items are too good to pass.
-
Yeah, the VF1 is definitely pretty easy but it's a few of those tight spots that terrify me when I don't remember exactly how to move them. The 4G just seems to go together and come apart easily with not much that can go wrong. Only tough part is figuring which way the folding arms go. I don't have anything else except the 0S, which I think is the best made Valk I own...Pretty easy to transform and very solid all around.
-
Got my CF from Mykombini yesterday...that was quick! Haven't opened it yet.
-
I found the VF-4G to be the easiest to transform so far...Part of what makes the VF-1 seem easy I think is we've all been transforming versions of it most our lives. When I got my first 1/60 VF-1, I was able to most but had to refer to the manual and video a few times to make sure I did it right and didn't break anything. VF-4G was easy with no instructions or prior knowledge of anything about it.

Nice! You have a lot of room above the cabinets so perhaps taller cabinets or some wall shelves above them would work for you. You could always get Yeti wall mounts!
-
Sounds like you need a couple more cabinets
-
Based on how everything is setup, the DBZ and random Optimus Prime (that I just noticed) could probably be on another shelf behind the couch as you mention or elsewhere. That should leave the perfect amount of space for some Delta!
-
Wow, those are all really nice!
