  1. I guess I'm one of the only ones that doesn't mind the posts. It seems like enabling at its finest since I don't necessarily want to check or subscribe to threads but love it when I see a deal on something I might want or didn't think I wanted until I saw the deal.

    Bandai DX VF-31

    I didn't see you mention the video part before and I thought perhaps maybe you missed a part where they asked for the picture of the item with the invoice the first time. The only time I had to deal with amiami, they were very pleasant and straightforward. I remember they asked for a photo of the item with the invoice. They paid for shipping to return the defective item and sent me a new one. This may be a little different if it's a used item. Either way, good luck and hope you get a good solution.
  3. Yeah, I believe there was some translated description that says it can also light up for stuff like Cybertronian lightpost mode. It might be that part that says "Extra Shiny Tapes". Pehaps it has special tapes that light up? Either way, I will order it for sure!
  4. I didn't see any from the usual (TCP, TD, BBTS) yet but here it is:
  5. Haha yeah, NewAge is the $#!+. Their Soundwave is in the preorder stage so it should be on the way. Not sure about their Prime yet. I'm probably going to get Soundwave and really waiting for Galvatron. @tekering That Star Fighter looks really nice! I'm sure it will be even better when you finish it. Look forward to seeing it!
  6. Yeah, they most closely remind me of HMR and I even mentioned the similarities (I think here). They are even smaller than HMR though but I would say they might even be a step up in terms of transformation and posability. Other than some accessories, they are perfect transformation and the articulation is comparable to modern MP level...as in, ab swivel and crunch, ankle swivels, double joints, etc. I will go so far as to say the two NewAge molds I got (Seeker and Jazz) are the best new line of transforming toys I've experienced in years. MOST highly recommended! I'm on the verge of ordering the whole Conehead set just for Thrust because Thrust is the only one I want but they only come in a pack (Anyone want to go in or buy the other two from me at cost?). See what you've done here @nightmareB4macross? Enabling at its finest!
  7. Those are his custom translucent filler parts and I'm pretty sure he takes advantage of how well the top parts disperse lights for his photos in these backdrops. Yeah, again, this is his own personal custom set that I and others have been drooling over.
  8. Those came with the white gunpod. One of my favorite VF-1 decos ever.
  9. Haha, nice on picking up the NewAge Seeker. I gotta put those and their Jazz as some of the best toys I’ve messed with in years. Once again, amazing collection of 1:55 you are amassing. Congrats!
  10. Nice pics!
  11. Haha nice. Carry on then.
  12. You need a wife or some girlfriends and crush those.
  13. There will be Roy. Just chill. Then you can get three or six of those.
  14. I never heard of anyone getting items from NY with other shops markings on them. Unless you mean the TWE shipper box. You know I pay attention to anything NY too. I seriously doubt they will have any issue fulfilling the SSP though. They kept the orders open for a very long time and they are definitely known for closing preorders when they need to. One thing they have proven is that they don’t sell what they can’t deliver.
  15. Disney stores. I got mine at the online Disney store but it looks like they are OOS right now. It says it’s limited so not sure if they will get more.
  16. I thought I saw some people mention getting their orders for the first round from NY. Either way, not a concern to me. If I did order from them, I’m sure they’d deliver but I missed that round.
  17. Also got these At first I though the Disney one was bigger but they look very close to the same size. Almost like they share the same mold. But the Disney one has better paint apps and weighs about 3 times more and cost less. Disney wins!
  18. Sweet! I’m in on Biker Scout and AT-AT driver helmets for sure! If BS makes them. Nice job!
  19. Do it! It was hard to get a good shot but here is a view from inside the helmet and looking through the rangefinder.
  20. Yeah, I think you will get other chances at it. I'll let you know if I end up ordering another. Din wasn't announced but it was teased with a rumor I guess:
  21. So sweet! The main reason I care about the DX YF-21 is for the possibility of getting DX VF-22s. Nice!

    Hi-Metal R

    I have them all including the non-Macross except the first release, which is the 1S Hikaru. Missed it because when the line first came out, I did not think there was any reason why I would want to pay so much for Valks that are not as good as my 1/60, 1/48 or even my original 1/55 Valks in many ways. It wasn’t until the Regult came out and I realized how good that was and how great it would be to have a collection that included enemy and supporting Mecha in one scale that I broke down and started buying them. I immediately ordered Roy’s 1S and then tried to get the GBP, which I was able to find at a decent price (I think with the help of @sh9000). Then it was over and all in for me. It would be nice to get the Hikaru 1S to complete my collection but I never really cared about that version enough to pay the asking prices for it by the time I was in. If I can get one for retail price through a reissue, it will be bought!
