  1. Lol, one issue is your toys will smell like the ocean.
  2. Haha, could open a whole new world for you.
  3. I hate to say it @sqidd but it sounds like you are getting to the point where the time you save by not worrying about paying more for all these different schemes you come up with is becoming not worth the effort of just using ferry and calling it a day.
  4. They updated the look with Kite and Skull logos instead of the random number? Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu! I didn't mind having the number on mine but would MUCH rather have these. Don't feel like rebuying either. F'ers, lol!
  5. All good. But yeah, basically just use whatever you can to separate direct contact with the stand tips and you should be good.
  6. I never heard anything about them reacting with bare plastic so now you have me worried because I only use mine on bare plastic parts or I put some clear tape over the ends. But that is my advice, put some tape over them. Only problem with that is the tape is more slippery than the rubber so it makes the stand even less stable. I wonder if museum tack would work? For some reason I feel like a sticky clay substance would be much worse.
  7. I’d like the HMR Destroids and Remaining Zentradi Mecha too but I’d almost rather have the display stands they also teased. The launch arm especially.
  8. Magnificent! The most worthy of all toys to devote this much dedication to. Look forward to seeing the completed set and everything in between!
  9. That’s a good suggestion thanks! I have some poster tack that should work similarly.
  10. I finally got some elmers for my kid’s craft projects so I’ll try that on mine.
  11. lol this!
  12. Cool! Yeah, I’m not worried about it but will be happy when they arrive. I’ve had a GigaPower Grimlock throne preordered for maybe a couple years now, lol. Not worried about that either.
  13. About the same price as a Valk huh? Probably predictable but still makes me think...buy this or another Valk?
  14. What’s that from?
  15. Now I need all my Skull Sqad Valks to have alien skulls on their heat shields too.
  16. I guess that’s why I’m happy about it?
  17. And back to the backhanded insults carried over from the postal thread? Gotta love it!
  18. Sometimes I feel like I’m the only one here who doesn’t have the source material on while I’m playing with my toys to compare and then nerd rage when I find something that doesn’t match perfectly. I love anime and I love toys. They are two things that can be related but don’t have to match perfectly for me to enjoy either.
  19. Damn it! Oh wait, that’s the Revo version. I missed that one too but I was thinking of the Sentinel at around 5x the cost https://www.amazon.co.jp/-/en/dp/B084XL9J1Q/?coliid=I26U3E1A3IVHAH&colid=20P3B16Y46QMH&psc=1&ref_=lv_ov_lig_dp_it And probably smaller...
  20. Yeah, I like the recent resurgence of Nausicaa toys and I got the Sentinel Ohmu but not the hebikera yet....The Sentinel pieces are super expensive as usual and not sure if I can justify the cost for it. But I want it!
  21. Haha, and I just mentioned that waiting isn't in your vocabulary. I think there is a limit to Ferry insurance but I never pay attention to insurance. You know me, these items are basically "black market" in the sense that they are not supposed to be available to us to begin with so I don't expect much service. On the other hand, I also don't live my life by worrying about other people doing their jobs right. If I had to do all that, I'd rather just not deal with any of it to begin with. Basically, I expect that manufactures manufacture properly to a certain standard and shippers ship. If for some reason, they can't do their jobs right, that's what credit cards are for. The ultimate "insurance" for any purchase. Luckily, I rarely have to go that far. In my experience, buying from domestic shops, even before Covid, means you get Japanese releases several months later.
  22. Some shipments that went out right at the beginning of the lockdown took 3 months. My most recent shipments arrived right at 2 months. Before Covid, 1-2 months was normal and often closer to 2 so it seems like at least based on my few shipments that it is getting back to normal for Ferry shipping times.
