Could someone please tell me if Japan Post is still suspending shipping to the USA? My Legioss order through Anime Export still hasn't moved, and they have not yet responded to my inquiry about it. Their site has a blurb about Japan Post suspending overseas shipping, but it's dated April 24th. I'm becoming increasingly concerned about the lack of response, and am not sure what recourse to take.

Quick question to those of you who have one of these in hand - the placement of the wings in fighter mode is curious to me. I guess I just don't remember them having a downward cant, even though the lineart may have shown this. What's the feasibility on the toy of having them be parallel to the ground? Heavy modification, or just a small tinker?

By what method have to chosen to ship?  AE are pretty much not going to ship anything unless it's by ferry.  They've been holding on to an SHF figure of mine since end of March and the pricks won't ship by any normal method (i.e. DHL or FedEx.)  Only EMS, Ferry or some specific courier service that, oddly, needs my Social Security Number even though DHL and FedEx do not.  Screw AE.

Still no word from Anime Export on the status of this order. It shows in the control panel as "being packed for shipping," and that I'm supposed to be contacted via email to have it shipped, but I have not yet received anything. I'm going to have to reach out directly and find out what's going on.

Anybody else preorder from Anime Export? My order was "ready to be shipped" almost two weeks ago, but I got no notification. Once I logged in, I had to manually set the order to "ship," but it hasn't moved since. I'm not super worried yet, but I do wish that there could be some movement on this...

Anyone else who ordered Unit 1 directly from Threezero's website gotten an update yet? I know things are delayed right now, but I was hoping to hear even a little bit of news.

This is the way.

So say we all. Oh, um... "aye."

I saw it in the theater when it came out. I also definitely remember being extremely concerned that the writers were trying too hard to shoehorn a Padawan in for Anakin and how little sense it made. And I really didn't care much for Ahsoka at the time, either!

How the times have changed...

Well, I'm a whore for anything Batman Arkham-game related, so I'm in on these. It's the only franchise where I can claim absolute 100% all achievements on every game to this point.

Only one of these figures I have so far is Superman, and I still can't get over the fact that he can't look up far enough to create a convincing flying pose.

Just received the MK III Viper. A very nice replica and very front heavy from lots of metal up front in the nose.

Man, I'd love to see some photos and hear your thoughts on this one. I don't have any of their other Vipers, but this one is really calling to me.

Haohmaru is a must-have for me. But I wonder what has happened to the unmasked Mortal Kombat 3 Sub-Zero which was shown last year? I actually really wanted that one and am much less interested in the masked one shown above.

Kuma, fantastic review of the MB-11 God Armor! You have sold me on getting a set for my Power Baser. I don't even have the first clue about the Japanese version of God Ginrai, but it surely does look nice. Thanks so much for making that video - it's exactly what I had wanted to see.

Man, I really hope that the Max-color VF-4 is still on the way...

I just don't even know how all of this is going to be wrapped up in just one episode remaining...

I wish we could see some Samurai Shodown figures already...

Getting frustrated that both versions of Cable which I preordered back in July are repeatedly being delayed. It's looking now like the ETA for both is February.

I can't even wait to see what in the hell is going on with Ozymandias. I'm increasingly wondering if the writers are going to interject Dr. Manhattan any time now. I feel like they've been extremely clever in not focusing on him for any of this so far.

Thanks for all of the helpful links! I decided to go with Anime Export ($215 USD) on this one. No telling what the shipping will be, but I'll post here once it updates. Hope I don't get screwed on the fee.

Do we know for certain that the VF-4 in the Max colors is still coming? (Sorry if this is a dumb question. I don't follow Hi-Metal too closely...)

WOW. Watched the first episode this morning and am completely on board with this. I cannot wait to see where this goes - especially with the big spoiler at the end of the episode. Talk about some implications for the future of the franchise! I feel like we're in good hands with Dave Filoni and Jon Favreau. I hope I don't get proven wrong about this by the end of this season. I do find it intriguing now that the last episode is set to premiere after Rise of Skywalker. Wonder if there's going to be any sort of tie-in?

You're a minority about buying AoA stuff?  Realistically any person who read X-Men in the mid 90's who still collects figures will likely be gobbling them up.  I know I will be.  I still have all of those old issues bagged up.  My concern is they aren't going to do all of the teams and will only Cherry Pick specific characters.

Yeah, man. Sure feels that way looking at some of the Facebook collecting groups of which I am a member. Quite a bit of the the feedback I have read on there indicates that people aren't thrilled with this wave. Hopefully that'll just make it easier to hunt down. (It'd be fantastic if Best Buy carries this wave.)

So, um... any news on EZY?

PLUM's Gradius IV Vic Viper kit is now up for preorder. I love PLUM, their kits always cater to shooter game nerd in me.

Oh, that is so very cool. I might need to get this.

I'm glad to be in the minority on this one, but I am buying every single Age of Apocalypse figure which they produce. And I really only ever cherry pick these!

B-WINGS ARE BAAAACK!!!

I'm so glad to see that someone else reacted the same way that I did. LOL. It really was the highlight of the whole trailer for me.
