Slave IV

Hmmm, I might be in for the F-18.

I’m the same way with toys at least. Taking a part from one to give another makes one incomplete, even if just temporary.

Ah, I was right that it was removable Armor. Cool!

Congrats! If that is a phone pic, it usually helps to edit the image in your phone first to rotate it. That’s a great first Macross toy to have.

Nice!

Ok so you ordered it a bit late but still pretty early on. I wouldn’t worry about it either but it would suck to wait this long. Personally, I would never pay their (Or anyone else’s) markup for anything that is a new product on the market so I won’t run into these issues but it is a good indicator that if you miss the initial round, you could expect delays. I actually had it in my cart at 25k when I somehow missed the initial price so I just abandoned the order.

Yeah, my Aoshima version is pretty floppy but no breaks.

LOL! I could never get into any BSG except the original, which I loved. Yeah, the Toynami Beta is nice but the problem with it is not itself but the Alpha that you mentioned. I want the whole package to be good. Since I waited this long already, (gladly) passed on the ET versions, I'm putting my money on Sentinel to fulfill my destiny.

Not bad! I stopped looking a while ago just because like I said, I'm hoping for something better to come in the future.

Nice! I've been holding off on the Tread my whole life but want one that pairs with the legiioss bad! Just hoping Sentinel comes through for me.

I've never had to deal with it but it seems to be the case that they do accept returns and will even send a replacement if available. Only thing is you pay for DHL shipping back to them but they reimburse you afterwards.

Nice, thanks!

Nice layout! I love seeing people's customizations of these sets!

Oh it will, it will It really is a very well done figure with great care that went into the while package and it shows. Now, I want to know if Dana’s Armor actually fits over the basic figure or if it’s two separate figures.

Lol. I have my old 12” light up one from when I was a kid and a 4” 5poa one from around the same time but nothing since.

Nice! Who makes those?

Nice score! Congrats! When did you order it? That is interesting especially if it was an original preorder.

Haha, I thought we were all friends here and wasn’t trying to go that far. Hey now! I’m just having fun here and balancing out the overly misleading hate for NY. I’ve mentioned many times that I don’t give a crap about them or any other shop, just who gets me my toys for the lowest price and it would be great if all the people hating on them would stop using them like @sqidd by putting his money where his mouth is. What’s more purposefully misleading to incite hate? You calling them out and specifically mentioning the item releases next month and conveniently leaving out the part where their payment is also due next month or me clarifying that the payment and release are both next month? haha, no worries, I know there is still good in you.

I hope for their own sakes that no one is still using this method to pay for items from any foreign marketplace. Not only do you have to pay PayPal’s foreign transaction markup, it makes it more difficult to contest a payment if anything goes wrong past the time limit PayPal gives you. You should be setting up a no foreign transaction fee card to use through PayPal and then you get a double layer of protection and no extra markup.

Haha, I’m not so sure about that!... Rinse and repeat that with 400% of the 99% of the people not happy with the way it looks mentioning that the DX looks better in Battroid and the Yamato looks better in Fighter. There, you just got caught up without having to read 17 pages of mostly the exact same comment over and over again. By the way, you’re a “starving artist” too? Way to go!

I love the dramatization going on with NY. You forgot to mention that they are “demanding” the money for the item that comes out next month........to be paid by next month. Some people could have great careers in news media.

Well, you can afford to take risks with 6 extra ones lying around right?

We’re looking at the makings of the next evolution of 3P companies! Thats awesome that your SSP set seems solid in fighter mode. The complaints about it were getting annoying, especially when it’s about something I don’t have but am waiting to get. Good thing for me is I prefer mostly Battroid and Gerwalk mode for DYRL SSP equipped Valks.

If we are talking about a Valk made with forged automotive grade alloys, $600 sounds cheap! Where's the preorder button?!

Oh yeah, I'm looking forward to it and any news but until we hear something new, there is not much else to talk about. Honestly, I keep coming back and reading this and every thread here mainly so I don't miss out on any Macross news and perhaps discuss a bit on topics I'm interested in. If there is nothing new to share or talk about, I'd rather save my time by not reading the same comments over and over, lol! Haha, I only mentioned GI Joe because it seems to be the hot topic in toy news right now but I'm with you on not needing another 6,000 versions of the same crap over and over along with seemingly lower and lower quality when I already got the best 35 years ago. I've been hoping the day would never come for 6" Joes simply because I don't want to deal with it but now that they are here, I'm going to want at least one (maybe two depending on the character) version of my favorites in 6" form. So...how about that ab joint gap and wrong calf parts on the new Thundercats prototypes? Lol, anyways, I hope the next time I need to read this thread, it's going to be about us prepping for the oncoming preorder madness battle!
