    Here's some preliminary pictures. Unfortunately one of the plugs over the screws got a little damaged getting it out, so I'll have to cast a replacement molded off of the undamaged one. I'll put together a list of the wire lengths, a connection diagram, and resistances of the LEDs (which appear to all be good still) Imgur album: https://imgur.com/a/D7SBP

    I'm about to start a project, the Fold Booster I bought (used) for my YF-19 turns out to have non-functional LEDs and some sunburn. I've already disassembled it (thank god just screws, no glue) and probed it with a multimeter to check that the LEDs themselves are still good. Looks like it just needs wires replaced and a coat of paint. Might re-mold some of the transparent parts that are a little yellowed. I guess it's not scratch-building, more of repair/re-building.

    Putting my missiles on I found myself pressing more backwards than down, had to swing out the legs to get them on though. I really wish the legs would properly lock into their compacted fighter-mode length.

    Looks like the listing was missing some things. The fold booster has some sunburn as well, on the side hidden while it's in the package, and the LEDs aren't working. Time for some disassembly and electrical work, and while I'm at it maybe a fresh coat of paint to fix the yellowing. It's already past collectible state, may as well get it looking good again.

    I'll check mine this evening, but I remember that the knife needs a bit of adjusting to sit in the correct place.

    They still can fold up properly against the arm.

    Picked up mine from Jungle, was the only place I could find it, and fortunately it wasn't too expensive since the Fast Pack was sunburnt. I think they have another one, but it's north of $100 before shipping.

    Another box showed up, with something I've been looking for for a few months: the Yamato YF-19 fold booster, which will be fitted to my Arcadia YF-19. Bit of yellowing on the fast pack parts, which I won't be using anyway.

    You guys are making me regret leaving my 31C sitting in private warehouse until the High Resolution Wing Zero releases.

    All the gundam kits are from Gentei Kits, though I also get some PBandai stuff from Mandarake as well. The Drakens and Defender are from Nippon Yasan.

    You are not alone. Unfortunately the model SV-262 takes a lot of work to get looking good, what with the bad looking gold plastic and the huge number of decals.

    Check down at the bottom for "other versions", you might have grabbed a different specific one.

    Well, that's good to hear, I've been thinking of transforming mine for the first time into gerwalk with drakkens and missiles. I remember the used VF-171Ex that showed up mostly in fighter mode, and the hours I spent getting the arms in place.
  14. Sanity is Optional
    I picked up a couple packages from the post office. The Defender is ready to join my growing Hi-Metal R collection.

    Yeah, they're both 3% for me, but Paypal usually has the better base Yen conversion rate for some reason.
  16. Sanity is Optional
    I've done Paypal's Yen conversion, and used my own CC as well. Generally Paypal ends up better for me, but not by a huge amount.

    If you try and pay in $ at NY it ends up costing quite a bit more, always choose to pay in Yen.

    Good news: package from NY with my Lil' Drakens showed up at my house earlier today. Bad news: I wasn't there to sign for it. Nothing like waiting an extra day.

    I believe the technical term is "Burney Sword".
  20. Sanity is Optional
    Right, the only enemy is HG.
  21. Sanity is Optional
    http://i.imgur.com/aWnZf0a.gif I can't wait for a TV SDF-1 from Arcadia, for that I will grab the premium one and say goodbye to my wallet.

    FYI, the VF-2SS and VF-1S Messer are both available for order right now at HLJ. https://hlj.com/search/go?w=hi-metal

    Plus they can use the design of the Yamato as a baseline for the articulation and transformations.
  24. Sanity is Optional
    They're also really good about combining shipments, shipping fees, and cancelling items.

    This is why mine is going to sit in Private Warehouse and ship with ~6 other things.
