    I don't have those but Medicom has very spotty QC. Their figures can range from sloppy junk to some of the best out there. If it's just loose joints, you can use Future or some other acrylic polish to tighten them up. I did just order some of the latest EVA figures Bandai made for their Robot Damashii line, which is generally very good so will see how that goes.

    My guess is some form of Roy will come next.

    I don't mind crowds as long as there is an organic motion going on. Like those Marvel or DC comic posters with a bunch of characters all together but all doing their thing.

    Haha, definitely! Part of my thing with the decal is that I always want my items to be complete and as original as possible. Using a decal sheet or throwing away box and packing material drives me crazy, lol! As for displays, I'm with you on stands but I will make some exceptions, especially when the stand is part of the display like the recent Arcadia launch arm stands. BUT, I really dislike displays where most things are displayed the same way. Like a bunch of fighter mode all at the same angle. I only bought two Arcadia Stands because I can't imagine ever wanting more than two valks displayed on the launch arm. The thing that bugs me most is not as prevalent with Valks but collections of action figures where all the figures, no matter how articulated they can be, are instead packed like sardines and posed in a sterile, standing up straight pose. Basically, I like my displays to be set up telling some kind of story, with action and diversity throughout.

    Lol! We need to add a "x100" next to each decal for him. My most wanted Valk in DX, Arcadia, HMR and any other form right now.

    Haha, I’m so friggin anal about other stuff though! Like I love that we are getting this decal sheet but I will never use it! I’ll just admire it and if I wanted to use it, I’d scan it and make my own so I don’t have to use the original.

    I see the decal sheet as a bonus for paying more for the TWE item and love that they provide different option for other parts. I don’t care about the number decals at all, those skull ones though, sweet!

    I actually thought the decals were also setup the wrong way to nail in the point that they were doing it on purpose. But I guess I see that they might be set to fix one side to be the way you want. But they don't address the other fins on the legs...I don't even know because again, I don't really pay attention to those tiny numbers. Flight tower was just a joke in continuation to the discussion that a real flight tower would have to know which side they were looking at to determine what number they should interpret... And exactly! These are on a shelf to display most the time. I have 20/20 vision and I'd have to be no more than a couple feet away from it to see the difference clearly and only if I am specifically focusing on those numbers. I don't know about the rest of you but I spend most my life more than a couple feet away from my display shelves. The times I am close enough, I'm playing with the toy or checking it out overall, not worrying about a tiny number that takes up about 1% or less of the total surface area I'm looking at. I feel for those of you that are infuriated by it but for me, it ain't no thang and I'm definitely glad because I have a lot of other things less trivial to me to worry about.

    Haha, yeah! It’s not like I’m a flight tower or it’s something I even notice while playing with such an awesome toy. 99.99% of the time, I won’t even see it and the other .01, I don’t care.
  11. Slave IV
    Nice! I might end up ordering this a bit earlier than usual given how some TWE Macross items have gone lately. But I see they double, triple, quadrupled down on their numbering “mistake” so that pretty much solidified their statement and what they think about that. Lol, it doesn’t matter to me but I see some fans are steaming over it.
  12. Slave IV
    Sweet setup!
  13. Slave IV
    Oh, good to know, thanks! In the end, I’ll use whatever is cheapest and that’s usually the boat.

    I missed the initial opening at NY for SSP so I ended up ordering a few at FromJapan. Then NY opened up again so I waited a while before I broke down and ordered another from them too. Obviously, I'm in no rush to get any of them but I'll definitely get my From Japan order first since I don't think they even have a ferry option to ship.
  17. Slave IV
    Sweet! I still haven't ordered those Black Hole Figures. I feel like someone will eventually make higher quality ones, preferably diecast with lots of gimmicks.

    FWIW, I ordered Spring Sale stuff from NY and they shipped within an hour of my order...

    FWIW, I made an order at NY from their Spring Sale and they shipped all my items within an hour.

    Haha, very nice! OG blaster and removable rocket even!

    Stick around I’ll be back Ok, I’m done but could go on forever, lol. But I really meant I need help. I broke down for that Deluxe Mando but I don’t even collect Hot Toys. It’s a scary slope to head down but I had to have it. It will go with my Hot Toys Deluxe Boba Fett too well.
  22. Slave IV
    Yeah, both great but I think those early Arnold movies were up there too. Then you have some classic comedies from that era...Ghostbusters, Better Off Dead, Caddyshack... BTW, I do that “I like it” all the time too. Only thing is I’m pretty sure everyone knows exactly what I’m talking about based on the giggles they get from it.
  23. Slave IV
    Great movie all around with so many classic scenes.
  24. Slave IV
    Help me! I got problems, lol. Who else ordered one of these today? https://www.toydojo.com/hot-toys-the-mandalorian-the-child-deluxe-ver-1-6-scale-collectible-figure/
