    If you want it fast and don’t care about price, use EMS or DHL. But to me, that is rookie “Real” collectors know they spend the least possible on shipping no matter how long it takes because money saved goes towards more collection. But seriously, use whatever method works best for you. I’ve tried them all and I have great delivery people so it really doesn’t matter for me so I always go the cheapest route.

    If they were giving me a box with two DX VF-1's, they can wake me anytime!

    Wow @sqidd amazing story! the thought of how a Macross collector would feel losing a package like that would force me to return it too. Nice! You should definitely talk to him when you get a chance. I got to know a neighbor of mine much better after he invited my family to his kid’s birthday party once and when I got there, it was all Transfomer themed with a bunch of his G1 collection displayed. When I invited them over, they were blown away by my collection.

    Airwolf would be sweet. I’ve been hoping for a Firefox since I saw that recent model of it.

    Hahaha! That is so cool!

    Wow, that is sick! My only question is does the dash flash when it talks?

    This. So much this.
  8. Slave IV
    Lol, pretty much. Everyone who can’t deal with it, buy a bunch of Metal Composite MS-06Cs and use the extra decals to fix your 1S. Hopefully one of them will be the perfect size.

    I can already foresee future complaints either way. If they change it, people will complain that they don’t match Hikaru, if they don’t, just continued complaining. im glad it’s a non factor to me. Seems like it was for everyone else the whole time it was shown the same way before it was pointed out after release.
  10. Slave IV
    Yeah, you would think. Or they were just like damn, we need to produce more left feet, we must’ve accidentally shorted the production of them.
  11. Slave IV
    Seems like every one I’ve seen posted has the wrong foot on the right. Now it’s making me thing the feet were attached to the slider bars as part of the process before assembling into legs and because the slider bars are asymmetrical but all the same on both sides, they attached the same left foot to all of them.

    Yep! Preorder madness and getting the tricks of all the different shops and ways to get things online is the new “hunt” and game of collecting to me. I’m pretty much over the whole running around to all the shops to try to find that rare toy I want although I still do a bit of that. I think it was you who also mentioned that NY is stationed out of the way compared to most other shops and that’s why it takes longer for them to get shipments and as a result, send shipments. It’s all good to me as long as I get my plastic crack and I didn’t pay extra for it. That’s part of the “hunt” aspect. Back in the day, no matter how many shops I searched and shelves I dug through, if I found what I wanted, it was always msrp or less. There was no pay extra and skip the hunt button, lol!

    Yep, you need to replace the right one.

    That's a great collection philosophy and high end Macross figures like these DX VF-1s are the way to go for a focused display. I really wish I had the same kind of discipline but I'm a hoarding packrat collector that has and keeps everything since childhood and I have most the original packaging along with it. A comment I made in the recent acquisitions thread today made me really think though. The amount of money I have tied up in this collection stuff could equate to a lot of other things...in my case, almost anything else I can realistically imagine wanting. Hmmmm...Giving up a bunch of my collection in exchange for multiple family vacations and going Stage 3+ on my two Audi's sounds pretty good to me.

    I don't run into any of these issues because I will never pay their or anyone's markup price for items and I rarely check order or tracking statuses because I don't care when I get things as long as I get them. Every time I have contacted NY for CS, they have been prompt and fair so I have no issues there. My main thing is price and they have provided me with the lowest price and saved me literally thousands of dollars over the years so I'm all good with NY. Right now, my only supposedly reliable order for the DX VF-1S is through HLJ when they opened orders around release day. I have no update from them about fulfilling my order or cancelling it. Still crossing my fingers that they come through or I could be screwed on getting a DX 1S. There is no point where I even thought about conrtacting them over it though...whatever happens, happens and I'll roll with it.
  16. Slave IV
    Hahahaha Good one! FWIW, NY has never screwed me and I am very happy with their service. Almost all my hundreds of orders a year go through them so I'm sticking with them until they prove to me otherwise.
  17. Slave IV
    I really hope more people stick with their word like @sqidd about not doing business with NY again. That way, I can keep getting my orders through them easier.

    Oooo, nice! I don't like the hollow wings and flap over the thrusters in Fighter mode. I did consider Skywarp and Thrust since Thrust also came with the covers for Skywarp but decided to pass all the way until something better comes along. Now that I know Skywarp is more expensive, I'll definitely keep passing. Yeah, all Jazz and Galvatron attempts so far are sup par to me so I'm hoping MP gets those two right.
  19. Slave IV
    Yeah, I got back into MP because of 3P but I have everything I want now except a few characters. Last TF I got that I actually transformed and like to play with is GigaPower Sludge. I think I’m done until someone makes a good Galvatron,Jazz and Seekers
  20. Slave IV
    Ah thanks! I’ve been buying a few TFs here and there blindly and mostly from looks alone. I haven’t even transformed Sunstreaker or MP-36 Megatron yet. Maybe it’s time for me to finally quit. But I do have that damn Unicron already ordered too.
  21. Slave IV
    What are the supposed qc issues with MP-45? I barely follow any TF threads anymore. Thanks!
  22. Slave IV
    No problem! And just like that, Bandai can turn someone who has no Metal Composite Collection to having a $1000 MC Collection Maybe people are supposed to use the extra decals to fix their DX 1S too
  23. Slave IV
    You're gonna need three of these! Look in the description: -Designated decal stickers I'm pretty sure it means the numbers are not tampoed and it comes with the decals for you to choose. You can also see the optional head piece and all three together in the promo pics.
  24. Slave IV
    2900 seems ok to me Not likely to get it at the same price but hopefully close. I got one from NY and AJ and NY is cheaper but I will get the one from AJ sooner, which doesn’t matter at all to me especially when it comes in a Kleenex box like my Bumblebee pictured here recently.
