    I am. I ordered two from them on PO night at inflated prices. Wish I had been patient and waited for the US retailers for the cheaper price and slip cover. I'm not worried about NY shipping late. I'm sure they'll pull through and I'm drowning in toys right now anyways.

    Damn.. FromJapan cancelled my order. =(
  3. Grey728
    Got my order in as well. Woo!

    Hey Sqidd. Getting Macross items is really unpredictable. Sometimes we get lucky and more pop up but more often than not if you didn't get lucky during PO madness you're getting hosed paying scalper's prices.

    It JUST opened up and I was able to order using FromJapan! Now's your chance to get one at MSRP.
  6. Grey728
    How do you get a pre-order in from p-bandai japan? Will FromJapan or these other proxies open up then? I tried FromJapan and they say they've already reached their limit for this SECOND batch..

    This sounds like speculation. Do you have a source? This just makes too much sense for Bandai to do.

    There's very little metal content in HiRM models so keep that in mind and they are essentially like any other Gundam model out there except it has a pre-built inner frame. The glossy armor parts are beautiful and all you need is a little bit of panel lining to make the details pop. These aren't toys so a light touch when posing is required. I love the look of them but I can't stand the lack of heft/durability. Steer clear of Wing Zero EW and Barbatos units since they have serious tolerance issues with armor popping off as mentioned above. The Gundam Wing Zero, Astrays, and God Gundam are great overall.

    I wouldn't say that's your first Fix Figuration as you do have Char's Zaku II after all. The RX-78-2 and Gundam Wing EW are also solid GFFMC figures so please don't write off the newer stuff to come out under that name but I do agree that anything Unicorn and prior is a bit on the weak side.

    Amazing! How do I hire this guy?

    I like that fact that he's holding the entire kit from its ankle without any issue. That is by FAR the weakest point in the official Metal Build Freedom that I own.

    Ahh Thanks

    I have a Seven Sword.. what am I looking at here that's incorrect/wrong? Is the face slightly off center? Is that it?

    Pretty! Nice and sharp

    Latest addition. Not that big a fan of Transformers, but I am a huge fan of high quality diecast robots.

    I think Mechwarrior is a good example here. Cool robot designs that are super rigid.

    Hmm. Not seeing the Crossbone in this image. Didn’t like it or is it somewhere else? If there was one more that I would recommend getting it would be the Amatsu Mina. Nothing wrong with the Blue or Red Astrays. They’re just getting re-issued soon.

    It's fine. Cleaning/dusting gets really tedious especially with large lego sets or anything that has sharp edges. I was curious if you had a better solution that minimized dusting via humidifier/air purifier/cleanroom environment that worked. Keeping things behind glass or some kind of display case isn't always possible. Even the act of cleaning can scratch my stuff which I don't like.
  19. Grey728
    Wow. What do u do about dust? Or what will you do?
  20. Grey728
    Not yet. Soon!

    I have to upvote any Spaceballs reference.

    Metal Builds aren’t nearly as difficult to get as Macross items. If it’s a tamashi web exclusive Use FromJapan. If it’s open to all then there’s a variety of places you could try: Japan sellers: Hobby Link Japan, AmiAmi, AnimeExport, Nippon-Yasan, Nin-Nin Game Hong Kong: DenDenHobby, GK Gubdam Kit US Websites: USAGundam, bigbadtoystore, chosenprime, Entertainment Earth, toy dojo

    Off topic a bit but I'm excited to see your review of Star Saber. I'm not much of a transformers fan, but the build quality of these things are amazeballs. I'm very impressed with the red Drift I picked up and how well it holds up against Bandai's metal builds and metal composite fix. I dare to say the quality may even surpass Bandai on this line. I'm also glad they aren't pumping these things out that quickly. My wallet couldn't handle it.
  24. Grey728
    Yes. There's a lot of twisting and turning that you can do at that joint to setup the wings exactly the way you want. It feels scary at first so be careful.
  25. Grey728
    I'd be all over that and would even have a place for it (replacing my HiRM). It probably doesn't need to be said but please be careful around the wing joints of your unit. They're both tiny and super tight.
