  1. The weathered looks amazing for the VF-0D, with the blue. Not sure how good that type of weathering would look for the VF-0S Roy. The 0A could work with the grey paint though.
  2. Gotta love hobbies that make Valkyrie figures look cheap.
  3. Well, since the YF-19 repop and PF were announced together, there's hope that the 0A might get the same treatment.
  4. Well, since COVID we don't get much choice. Only USPS still asks for a signature, everyone else just leaves crap on my step regardless.
  5. I'm hoping the back-end of the booster fits over the three wing sections and the front locks into the front of the exposed cross-section. Really wish they don't just cheat with a clear plastic bracket.
  6. Wing root certainly seems to jut forwards a bit, also looks like the wing might be bent, but it's hard to say from only the single angle.
  7. I prefer these: https://www.hlj.com/gundam-marker-extra-thin-type-gray-for-panel-lines-gnzgm302p Usually called "extra thin" or "pour type" markers. They work via capillary action and will spread down crevices and lines on their own. Requires less tracing and less cleanup, they can also get into crevices where even fine-tips won't fit.
  8. ...Why does it have to be through facebook?
  9. Yeah, that was only about a third of it, (most of) the rest is in the walk-in closet. I don't have enough space to display it all.
  10. Sweet, mine just showed up a few hours ago, not even sure if I have the space to build it.
  11. So I may have impulse purchased nearly 30lbs of LEGOs.
  12. They were offering 20% off one entire order (no limitations, even pre-orders) if you shipped an item from a list within a certain time period. I ended up ordering a hobby magazine, and used the 20% off coupon for A bit over $200 in discount on an order including the PF YF-19.
  13. Cheapest is probably direct from Arcadia through a proxy, or Anime Export. if you took advantage of the HLJ offer a while ago for a 20% off coupon they’re also an option, but otherwise they’re up charging too much.
  14. Eh, Japan has an aging, elderly, population and they are almost terminally cautious as a culture.
  15. It's really the desdroids and zentradi mecha that sell it. The VF-1 figures are nice, and the VF-2 and VF-4 are impressive, but the more impressive the transforming figures get, the closer they start costing to the Arcadia and DX lines.
  16. Ah, just allegedly cancelled, gotta love "news" reporting. https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/japan-looks-for-a-way-out-of-tokyo-olympics-because-of-virus-lf868xfnd
  17. Olympics are cancelled as of January, no longer just postponed.
  18. I try not to think of how much my Macross collection cost/is worth. Well, at least if I suddenly need a new car I have options.
  19. Well, I can tell you that this is in fact something which the series addresses later on.
  20. Pay on release, ability to combine shipping with other HLJ purchases (and shipping fees make that very worthwhile these days), and the availability of surface shipping. Probably break-even at best though, given the upcharge at HLJ.
  21. Yup, price comes down a smidge if you buy in Yen using a card with free currency conversion. In my case I blew a 20% off coupon on it, brought it right around the Arcadia webstore price.
  22. I mean, there's a reason why he is sometimes referred to as Suffaru. Or why there's a "being Subaru is suffering" meme.
  23. I've always wanted one of those huge ridiculous Star Wars ELGO sets. Missed the millennium falcon and the death star, figured this was probably my last shot at one not from the prequels/sequels.
  24. Why did you have to mention those were available again... Oh well, wallet go brrrrrrrrr.
