  1. Wish I could find a dollar store today that somehow just found a box of those in the back. Stuff of dreams...

    Good God, yes. Even non-canon weird Joon-like colors like sofubi would be great too. Seeing 3P go hard on TF seekers to that point always hurts to see through Macross fan lenses. I feel like Valkyrie Factory/Fugu could take advantage of the situation easily. They recently did KOs of a post-SDFM model fast pack set (forgetting which atm, but was stunned by it), and I think they are responsible for the recent KO Yamato glow sticker sheets, and the SDF-1 scaled valks and destroids too released in time for the Arcadia SDF-1 reissue. If they are, they would likely release the CF and Angel Bird they proto'd if there's some serious uptick in the SDFM fandom (live action film?) at least. For DX, though...well, SH MonsterArts, Figuarts, and their Godzilla/Ultraman vinyl releases have long been KO'd. It's not as if Bandai is that powerful. Never a deal-killer to me. To have one fully articulated version of a character at any scale trumps scaling it to a preexisting contemporary character release. It's great when it is made with pairing in mind, but I'd sooner take a great IRL realization of a character versus none at all.

    Same. I also saw that deal and didn't bite.
  4. Ah, another sofubi guy. Man after my own heart. I asked because I wondered if it was someone who outbid me on Whatnot not long ago for the same. Sometimes it's a small world.
  5. They knew about the clamshell issue affecting a whole batch (at least), and still didn't deal with it but for a case by case basis. The bastards even asked me to file a claim with Bandai Japan KNOWING that wouldn't be considered. In the end they forced me to buy something else to include with for them to send the replacement. You know full well I wouldn't have bought the Hikaru reissue from them vs elsewhere, but I HAD to choose them on that one to end this. Done deal with them, and Anime-Express for similar shenanigans.
  6. I went through hell getting Luna Park to make it right, and will never forget it.
  7. C'mon, even a hater would look twice if they actually did that . 😉
  8. Maybe they didn't want to offend those in the south? ðŸĪ”😄
  9. Reminds me of the legs on the Revell IMAI kit box art. 😆
  10. Damn. I'm envious (and came SO close to getting the same done on my DX's). Well, my avatar (at the moment) is Kremzeek from The Transformers G1 cartoon, and my name is just a carry over (along with Kremzeek) from the TFW2005 forums. I toyed with something unique, but I've interacted with some fans across both boards with the same name, so decided on the same.
  11. Ever consider smuggling? 😄
  12. All you need are those scaled destroids and valks now.
  13. Err...was getting RDJ in Tropic Thunder vibes myself.
  14. I've had good luck with Bandai warranties stateside when I've had need of them.
  15. As previously discussed, USA warranty coverage may be non-existent now for this particular release. Stunning to imagine, but it should be considered here before jumping on. That's also assuming it's new...which has also been reported as often inaccurate as well.
  16. $206.62 on Amazon USA right now. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CRK23S71
  17. I remain scared of the tariffs on top of whatever that might cost at the moment. Still, want one.
  18. That would be nice...with color-matched Fast/Super pack as well. An awkward third wheel at Max and Milia 1J social gatherings. 😆 Yet, even a green-striped 1J would scratch my itch. In fact, think someone once did a custom Hikaru 1J repaint in green stripe based on a squadron leader that may have been mentioned in canon, but unseen. Looked great to me, anyhow. Yes, one hopes that can be addressed, of course. A money machine if they can milk that mold further...well, in Macross terms. ðŸĪŠ I certainly doubt they'll be pushing the license boundaries Toynami did - like releasing a strike valk while under the series license. Not that I'd complain...
  19. I understood the 403 Error to be IP blocking of foreign access. Bandai does the same. If someone has a Japanese-based proxy or VPN and cannot see it, that's another story.
  20. I doubt I could sleep having done that. I don't sleep already while looking to own my first.
  21. It's funny, when I think of the DYRL 1A, I always imagine my dream green 1J, and my fingers follow. The slip has happened before, and surely will again. 😄 But, a DYRL green one would be enough...for now.
