  1. Aaand speaking of Mandarake, I made this order a couple months ago, right before the limited shipping announcement. Shipped Airmail. I was expecting to get a notice that it was returned and hoping to get that free DHL upgrade but happy to see it arrive!
  2. Ah thanks for the info! Yeah, I've noticed my AJ orders have been charging less for shipping lately so my guess is they are switching to a more weight/size based pricing instead of the flat 1600Y pricing from before. I've been avoiding any new orders from Mandarake because I was scared to pay the expedited shipping prices but now that I know this, I might make a few small orders now.
  3. That DHL fee seems reasonable. Which shop is that from?
  4. Nice! You just gave me an idea too... And also , nice gear!

    BANDAI DX YF-19!!

    Sweet pics! Thanks for sharing and congrats on getting this lovely bird!
  6. Same here. I had over 10 pending orders, paid and unpaid when I requested to change address. They did all of them. I find their ticket system is much more helpful than the chat system.
  7. Seems more like you’ve become the Slave IV jock bot. It was funny and all but you are certainly playing it out, lol.
  8. My last few orders from AJ have all had shipping less than 1600Y. So it seems like they are just moving to a more weight/size based pricing instead of just flat out increasing the prices. Latest one being Diaclone Waruder DA-58. It’s a pretty big boy probably comparable to a plain Valk so that could be good news for future AJ shopping. Bad news is getting DX orders at AJ is also becoming mythical.
  9. Aw yeah! That’s what I’m talking about! Those Raiders!
  10. I must be one of the few weirdos who usually likes the bad guy ships better.
  11. Lucky kid! Very cool! Someday, a Cylon Raider will be back in my collection. Haven't had one since the vintage with pop out wings and shooting projectiles.
  12. Man, I hope they DON'T do any more improved Frontier Valks because if they do I'm buying them all! But if so, I'm glad I skipped on all the old versions.
  13. Haha @borgified seems like it is supposed to be more of a skull logo like Punisher but especially on that view, I was looking at it "negatively" where the black is Doom's eye's like this logo: Anyways, That's some cool stuff @Ratatarse!
  14. Haha, could work either way and more Punisher's style but that logo on the boosters looks Doom to me.
  15. Yeah, part of the reason I was able to hold out on the previous releases. But this thing is just awesome in so many ways I could not resist!
  16. Nice production monitor!
  17. Yeah, I look forward to breaking it out and seeing what the kids and I come up with.
  18. I look forward to getting mine from them! You know the rest...cheap shipping that doesn't get shut down during pandemics, customer service in case something goes wrong, no confirming orders and then cancelling them later due to supposed stock issues which we all know are database management issues that happen on other sites...Best of all, less competition when ordering since so many people hate them so much they supposedly will never order there again.
  19. It's from the new Diaclone line which historically is the precursor to Transformers and where a lot of original Transformers toys came from. This line is completely modular where you can transform, combine and reconfigure as you wish to create new forms and transformations. The Warudaros are the "enemy" faction to Diaclones and this one is the new monster grandaddy that cracked me after eyeing the line from the side for years. It's supposed to be one of the most fun toylines to come out in years and I resisted as long as I could but take a look here at just "some" of the options you can come up with through this one figure and you will see why to me, it is the perfect solution to having very few enemy mecha for my Super Robots: https://www.taghobby.com/archives/456687 Edit: Adding some images of a few examples
