    Watched ep 1 of 7th loop Villainess (or w/e it'll end up being called). Actually, I quite enjoyed it. Seems like the main character is intelligent, proactive, and self-actualized. She's not moping over repeated deaths or specific people or mistakes. Seems very much a "make the best of things" type personality so far, which is a breath of fresh air.

    Not all of them yellow, mine looks fine.

    Now do San Fransisco (rather than LA...)

    Got in my VFG Monster, and that box is HUGE. Measured at 20.5" x 4.75" x 12.75" (520mm x 120mm x 320mm)

    ...Why does Slave Leia have the face of 11 from Stranger Things?

    Maybe just for the people who have them from the YF-19 full-set pack, maybe because they'll release a booster set separately.

    Oh? Hadn't heard about that, I'll have to keep an eye out.

    Those are great, wish they'd made more of them.

    As someone who never watched it until a couple years ago... this take is heavily influenced by nostalgia. Its not a bad series, but it suffers heavily from things such as repeated plotlines, repeated animation, an amazingly slow start, and tbh a 1dimensional protagonist with no character growth. The music is good, but suffers from Planet Dance being THE song for many episodes, to the point where I was sick of it by thr time something else came on.

    Maybe they updated it to ditch the swappable wings?

    $200 in 2008 is roughly $280 today after inflation, so the Bandai price isn't terrible in comparison.

    HLJ, notably, charges when the item is stocked.

    Boat's sailed on that one, only things you're going to get under $100 is maybe an HMR or Kitz Concept figure.

    On the bright side, at current exchange rates ¥35,000 is about $245. So a lot better than what it looks like at first glance, should be under $300 with shipping to the US.

    Finally got in my HMR Max and Kakizaki, along with some metal build stuff.

    Got super lucky and just snagged one of the mechanic edition from Mandarake. Ouch that shipping cost though, ¥9,100 to California.
  17. Sanity is Optional
    I mean, I did end up with 4x YF-19 full set...
  18. Sanity is Optional
    This is definitely one to see in the theater.

    I've got a pair of Arcadia PFs, and a Yamato. Surprised they've gone back up so much after the Arcadia release.

    That was before they reached an agreement, now it's only the OG series that HG has, which is why anything from TV/DYRL are still Japan-only distribution, no overseas VF-1 figures.

    The $170 is pretty ridiculous even including international shipping, and that comment was before any US retailers had better pricing. I've been majorly disappointed in general with the US cost, it ought to be cheaper per unit to ship 50 by ship than ship one by air, yet the prices are still higher in almost all cases for the ones making their way to the US on ships. Not to mention, high shipping costs can easily be reduced by shipping multiple things together (say via HLJ's Private Warehouse, or buying multiples). I'd much rather pay low item price and high shipping than high item price and free shipping, all else being equal.

    Be that as it may, even fast shipping on a HMR is typically under $40, often under $30. We're being charged an extra $50-$60. Plus tax, and we're being taxed on that shipping surcharge included in the base price. Over where I am, id be paying almost $200, rather than $140 shipped. And getting it later.
  23. Sanity is Optional
    $170? Good god, that cost increase... I got 2 for $210 before shipping from nin-nin.

    Skinny legs: better fighter, ugly battroid. Fat legs: ugly fighter, better battroid. Curse of anime magic. Choose your poison.

    Oops, forgot they have a Yen option, if I'd waited and paid in yen could have saved $16 across 2 of them. Oh well.
