    Well, the risk is if any fold. On a perhaps not wholly unrelated note, I have been feeling that there is an uptick in promo "sales" emails from some of these shops in the last few weeks. To me, that screams trying to get folks to get over tariffs, and might be a sign of how some could actually be hurting right now due to loss of western sales. That gives me a little pause when I considering ordering and warehousing.

    Hi-Metal R

    That sucks.

    It's a sad state of affairs, but I'm sure that's true. It's probably also something he'd prefer, if a licensor or related individuals have relations as pleasurable as we do with Bandai. Frankly, I'd assume our feelings are mostly the same at this point but for the direction of the money.

    Hell, I wanted more Yamato reissues. I sincerely hope Arcadia can right the ship.

    That almost sounds like Y-MSF. (Toho-licensed Godzilla figure producer) They had a site years ago, and wasn't worth keeping it up, so now they sell stuff as if they were bootlegs via social media despite being above board. A shame for Arcadia, as even KitzConcept keeps a site up.

    I don't wanna hear that. Wasn't the VE-1 supposed to be "close"?
  7. Radioguy
    To mention that in a tweet... Gotta be bad.

    DX YF-21 $215 at Amazon again.

    That's correct.

    When I say that in other collecting communities, I get brushback that Bandai markets and sells to Japan, and we in the west are not considered. Yeah, right.

    I'll have to experience one in hand to know, but the chunkiness screamed 1/55 playability or better. If it meets or exceeds that, then that's its selling point; not its appearance.

    I absolutely love how they've paired them as a kit. Definitely worthy of someone's approval...
  14. Radioguy
    Guess you missed my follow-up post. I had really meant completed model (or toy). I can't handle kits anymore beyond a pre-painted snap-together one. At least something like what Pegasus did with the Paramount '56 War Of The Worlds license. A kit, then a completed model, then a completed lit one, etc.
  15. Radioguy
    I suppose I should have said "completed" model, or, basically, "toy". My hands saw their last model kit some time ago. 😔
  16. Radioguy
    Love the Cygnus. I'd own a model if a mass produced one was made.
  17. Radioguy
    Must have missed it! Thanks, interested, but trying to finish off my woodland camo 1A first. Well, if you run across it...let me know.
  18. Radioguy
    Damn. Been looking for that for a long while; even on here.

    Sadly, for me, I have the one VF-1J to commit, and Carpal Tunnel to boot, so I won't be the one to try. I had been in contact with the guy who did that fab DX VF-1S Jetfire custom to hire him to do that 1J reissue up as AXOID, and he was the one to state the joints (some of which are exposed) won't take paint, and will basically ruin the appearance. That is, unless dye was used for those parts, and he had yet to ever try that on a custom. So, here I am.
  20. Radioguy
    Well, if the dye is darkening it (white or grey to maroon), I'd imagine it would pass. Dye weakening nylon is new to me though. It does that? Again, in my case, it would be a light grey turned maroon surrounded by either the same color or black parts. I think we're good if dyeing would work. Anyhow, if anyone here has done it to Bandai nylon parts, I'd love to hear about it!

    Interesting. In looking at the different sellers selling Valkyrie Factory stuff on AliEx at the moment, the one that still has the clear covers (as well as strike packs) now has a PO up for GITD stickers for the Yamcadia SDF-1 to make it closer to a PF, as well as mini valks and destroids to scale for it. That's irresistible. https://www.aliexpress.us/item/3256809172465008.html https://www.aliexpress.us/item/3256809083776895.html https://www.aliexpress.us/item/3256807497365316.html
  22. Radioguy
    Same. Valkyrie Factory stuff is the knockoffs rich wives have made of expensive jewelry they keep in the safe at home. 😄
  23. Radioguy
    VF still sells the clear set, and the strike pack too. Makes for good mixing and matching between VF and Fugu releases.

    Still looking at my sealed 25G Rev. Wanna open it tomorrow.
  25. Radioguy
    Starting to hate I missed the BIJ PO now.
