Because... Two Out of Three Ain't Bad.

Which now leads me to:  What are my TWE purchasing options?  Tenso or similar?  What if I don't want to use a pseudo Japanese address?

I'm half way through season 2 at this point.  Fairy Tail filler remains Naruto levels of bad.  At least there aren't too many of them.  I may have to skip the 2 25 episode filler blocks coming up.  The story is just interesting enough to keep me going.  I'm mostly just watching that show for Erza at this point.  I just might make it to the end!

The 2 times I ordered from Amazon Japan my boxes came with significant damage. I don't think their boxes are meant for anything other than domestic shipping. DHL transporting my boxes an extra 5000 miles for no real good reason just added more time for box damage. The retail boxes in the shipping box had significant damage to the corners.

It's sad because they were the "Go To" site for a lot of people for Pre-Orders and web-exclusive items.  They were great until the VF-31A incident.  It was all downhill from there. 

I haven't watched Southern Cross in forever!  Can a Zor ship take on a Zentradi ship?  I don't recall Zor ships having that much firepower.

Where I come from, if you hear banjos, you start running as fast as you can.

It seems as if the Protoculture just pursued science, engineering, and technology, for the sake of science, engineering, and technology.  You make things just to prove that you can and to show that you have mastery of the knowledge.

Their Twitter and Facebook are still up, but they haven't been updated in over a week. I know some people made recent pre-orders with them before their website went down.

I was told that they could not ship to me because I selected SAL.  COVID shut down SAL and I have never been contacted by them since.  My last ticket got ignored.

Planetary scale bombardment can make most stories very short.  Or you could start a story that way... 

So the Strike Roy Custom and the Regult Scout as a two-pack never made any sense to me.  While the Scout is uncommon, Roy's Strike is unique.  The Regult Scout packaged with the Elint Seeker would had made more sense as a two-pack provided that it wasn't already released.  Because army building!  So for my own reasons, I hope that the Regult Scout and re-release Strike Roy are sold separately.  I missed Roy the 1st time around and I refuse to pay 1:60 scale prices for it.  I could use two scouts, I would really need two Roys. 

Posting seems to be fine now using Firefox. Thanks! 

So I'm no getting my Roy VF-4 that I've been waiting for since 2019? 

Most reviews seem to be mostly positive for the Valkyrie Factory KOs.  I'll probably get one to play with if I can ever find one for $100 USD or less. 

I believe "hundreds" is too small of any estimate. 

Well I do like how it looks.  Its just that I would never buy it.  Not my type of thing.  Maybe if I ever won the PowerBall or something.  Plus... all the powered armor bits are missing or totally intentionally left out to make it look pretty.  I probably should just say that there are other things missing other than her butt plate. 

You all need to update your homeowner's insurance to cover the replacement costs of all your treasures!  Rebuilding those collections after a tragic loss would be painful to say the least. 

It seems to me that they do indeed move slower than Hero figures. The prices stay low long enough for some fans to start army building. They seem to show up less often once they have finally sold out. 

And Japan just closed their borders to foreign travel yet again due to the new COVID variant. Not sure how this is going to effect shipping.

In the Destroid series following "Destroid Spartan," "Destroid Monster," and "Destroid Defender," we are planning a Destroid Tomahawk.  We will do our best to prepare Destroids, including Destroid Phalanx, so please support us.

To be released as a set so far.  I'm hoping for TWE Blue Phalanx in the future!

My 1st Regult also had a leg issue.  It would hold any pose just fine, but if you picked it up, one leg would noticeably drop down.  It would still hold the same pose if you set back down, so it wasn't a big issue.  It just hinted at potential future issues.  We all knew that the legs would eventually be the major issue with the Regult, It is most likely why Bandai included the stand with it.

I seem to be have issues posting using Firefox on Windows 10 on my Desktop.  There seems to be a lot of lag when I click the "Submit Replay" button.  I get the grayed out "Saving..." button, but it seem to hang at this point.  I often need to refresh the page and then it might work.  Microsoft Edge doesn't seem to exhibit this issue.

Update:  Chrome seems to work fine as well.  It seems to be an issue with Firefox.  Or at least Firefox with default settings.  I have similar issues with Firefox on my Android phone and Galaxy Tab 6.

I'm giving Fairy Tail another go.  I dropped it after the first episode the first time.  It seem to me that it is trying to be something between Dragon Ball and One Piece.  It's OK.  I'm currently on episode 12.  So far the 1st filler episode seem to be Naruto level bad.  I may just skip all the fillers since I can!  At any rate, It will do to fill the time between the current shows.  It is better than Muv-Luv. 

Some of the old-timers here might argue that you would need as much a 7.
