    Yeah, as someone who works in manufacturing, you're not making sense. Perhaps if you used fewer hyperboles and exaggerations. Also, maybe knock off the attitude?

    At this point I'm just going to assume you have a hate-on for greymarket stuff and are only replying to this topic to vent it at anyone who doesn't share your opinions. You're also significantly underestimating the cost of actual production if you think that they're raking in 100% profit. Plastic costs money, molds cost money, injection costs money, hiring people to assemble and paint cost money. Despite your assumptions, the cost of production is a much larger factor than the cost of development when it comes to these figures. Just look at how Arcadia's costs have gone up on designs where they already have both designs and molds!

    In case you didn't realize, they're probably paying similar sweat shop wages as Bandai and Arcadia do. Maybe a bit lower due to the lower quality/tolerances of the finished product (which means lower rejection rates), but the worker wages are likely quite similar. Don't delude yourself to thinking that anyone manufacturing in China is paying a decent wage.

    Manufacturing isn't free, they do have costs. Eating $30 extra in shipping costs on every single unit isn't going to help things. Plus people may have noticed exchange rates are going down for the dollar, which would also be hurting them.

    Could also be COVID-related shipping issues. Apparently hiring containers going out of China right now is difficult and expensive. They might just be waiting for when they can ship things out without destroying their profit margin.

    My guess is that nobody updated the release date, so they're holding all the stock until the 31st.

    Those decals look pretty nice, the carbon-fiber-ish appearance.

    So, we have 31A models in Chuck and Mirage colors, with new super packs that attach lil-draken style? Are those also new weapons pods I spy as well?

    Don't even ask, it was over $100 to ship the MGEX Unicorn.

    Still debating what to use my coupon on, though it's good all year. Totally worth throwing a $9 magazine into my shipment.

    The Messer supers (and the original DX Messer) are the only 2 Delta DX's I don't have. Got the repop movie version and the drone pack though. Putting those supers on the 31a is tempting, but definitely not at current aftermarket prices for the supers.

    Tough call, though I like the paintjob on the Kairos more.

    I tried watching episode 1, and then gave up. I am now secure in my decision to not pay for Disney+.
  14. Sanity is Optional
    I'll agree with you except for one thing. Youjo Senki is the best isekai, Kumo Desu Ga is #2. NAI WA~
  15. Sanity is Optional
    This is a pretty solid season. Kumo Desu Ga is my #1 so far, the VA for Kumoko is the always amazing Aoi Yuuki and she is doing justice to the MC's rants. Then we have more of: Shingeki no Kyojin Yakusoku no Neverland Dr Stone Re:Zero Beastars Plus some great looking originals Wonder Egg Priority Back Arrow And then some adaptations that are looking solid Ura Sekai Picnic Kemono Jihen Horimiya Mushkou Tensei (if the MC's pervyness isn't too much of a turnoff) Haven't watched SK∞ yet, but always willing to give a BONES show a shot.

    It's on my to-do list... I really ought to make it now that I have a resin printer to do the prototypes (and can finally get isopropyl for cleanup).
  17. Sanity is Optional
    I gave my Kairos the double-cannon from the armored pack (the rest of which is on Chuck w/ dish).
  18. Sanity is Optional
    It was pretty straightforward in my case, just make sure you have the language set to English and read what the entry fields are.
  19. Sanity is Optional
    Yeah, seems like there's more supply of Roys around than there were Hikaru 1S after launch, and people are selling them at close to cost.
  20. Sanity is Optional
    Did you put the extra piece in? It adds a slight tilt to one side or the other. If you remove the extra piece you get the original 3 tilt options.
  21. Sanity is Optional
    Yours seems a bit worse than mine, at least he's not shooting his nosecone off over here.
  22. Sanity is Optional
    Nope, some people use the black ones for the VF-31F.
  23. Sanity is Optional
    I have 2 copies of every DX VF-1 so far, plus 5 missile sets and 4ea TV/DYRL FAST packs. All at MSRP except for a Kakizaki at like +$10 via Amazon japan, a $70 missile set, and proxy fees for the web exclusives. I really don't think they're that hard to get, though I know many people can't. From my perspective, the current KC prices are too high for me to replace the V1 Roy 1S I have with the Rick V2 1S. I might have grabbed one if I didn't already have the Roy, just for completionist's sake.
  24. Sanity is Optional
    Also, Bandai is licensed to Big West, whereas KC is licensed to HG. As good as their products are, that counts against them in my book.
  25. Sanity is Optional
    V2 with fastpacks is listed at $200, and $140 for w/o packs. That's a bit rich for my blood. Kinda wish they'd drop the LED gimmicks and the price. I'll keep an eye out in case it ever goes on sale, I suppose.
