Are those weathered versions model kits?

@spacemanoeuvres I tried searching but can't recall where I got them unfortunately, got them years ago. I'll let you know if anything pops up tho!

they come in plastic ammo cans? or did you put those in the ammo cans?

No, I had those metal ammo cans repurposed from my other collection.

Missiles arrived.

Would be good to know what you find, I plan on going again next April.

You probably right, I didn’t see that nub.

How hard were the tips to pop off?  If they can be swapped around, I might just make myself a custom set of caps to snap on and off.

Think he cut them off?

For figures that have a a lot of extra pieces/accessories I like to store them in those tackle box type boxes to keep them organized.

Weird question but do you guys always insert a pilot into your figures that have/require one, not just for these figures but any toy? For instance, I have some construction lego vehicles at my desk at work and I don't put in a minifig nor plan to put in a pilot for the VFs. For me personally, I just like the machine/mechanical side of things if that makes any sense and I've seen a lot of talk about pilot size, etc.

Regarding the 1J, this may seem like a no brainer but check the sales thread here first since I've seen a few listings that are cheaper than the $35k yen prices that pop up on Mandarake after shipping. Didn't see many when I picked mine up from Mandarake for $370 shipped.

My bad, I was wrong, couldn't recall if the pics had 1 or 2.

I think there’s only room for the single reaction missile with the pods.

Awesome pic, nice missle combo too!

That many cancelled PO you think or they happen to find more stock...

Sigh, missed again and I was actually up 30 min prior to that. Good for nothing jet-lag. Congrats to the other member!

That painted cockpit is really nice.

The leak wouldn't be on purpose, but because you ordered through an unsecured storefront site that might be wide open to the interwebs.

The cancelled order would be obvious, since the product wasn't actually in stock on the main site, and the terminated account would be well within their rights for your abusing a flaw in the website.

Gotcha! Well lets hope nothing bad occurs and hes able to help someone out!

I hope you understand what you are actually doing is sneaking in a preorder that is already sold out.  I would not be surprise if your personally info from your accounts gets leaked, your current preorders cancelled, and your account terminated.   Stores might not be too happy with customers do that.

Seems a bit harsh...why would all of that occur becus he simply placed a backdoor PO?

So is this real? http://www.anime-export.com/sandbox/product/44283

I was able to add to cart but never used AE before. 

Thats a weird link, takes you to the site but looks really strange.

Googled AE and seemed more official, but OOS. http://www.anime-export.com/product/44283

Samesies, I think one and done. Debating on calling it a day w/ the 1S I picked up off eBay along with my incoming missiles and SSP PO and selling the 1J i recently acquired.

Very nice shot, what’s that backdrop you’re using?

you take a screen shot of the error just black out your info and we can take a look. 

All is good now, maybe the site was glitching earlier but I was finally able to check out. Hopefully the condition of the rest of the figure is good!

This is the link just in case anyone needs it: http://order.mandarake.co.jp/order/detailPage/item?itemCode=1113706307

But it sold out

I managed to scoop it up.

Anyone know of a decent rotating display? Thanks for the recs on the ones that prop the figure up, think I'm going with the flightpose ones.

Weird, attempted to check out on the 28k listing but keep running into an error. Not meant to be lol...

On another note, any recommendations on a good stand/base for these?  Saw that the yetistands look decent and was looking at other options too, thanks.

Same here, looking for a stand that would display it nicely in fighter mode thats not too obtrusive.

1 for 35K, another for 28K missing an I take cover. 

Is there a separate link for the 28k listing? Can't seem to find it, unless it was already picked up...

Edit: NVM found it.
