Am I the only one slightly confused why the storm figure is wearing a bikini bottom, while the illustration has her wearing hot pants?

I'm more confused by the lack of genitalia on Silver Surfer.  Barbie's boyfriend Ken is rocking a bigger package than this guy.

Ordered one from Okini-land about a week ago, total US$399 with DHL Express. It arrived in 3 days from Japan to US. Happy customer

 

Same here.  Totally stress free purchase and I got it within a week using DHL Express for shipping.  Arrived safe and sound.

That doesn't look bad at all.  Maybe I'll try to get my hands on a YF-25

Bump because I'm still lookin'

After the VF-1J armor set pre-order fiasco I'm not bothering with these PO madness nights because I'll just come up empty and get pissed. It's not worth the aggravation.  Especially since I only paid about $30 more than the pre-order price when it got released and I bought it easily, hassle free.

Me too!

I have one full blown project car left in me. I'm not sure what I want to do. The current choices are:

-77' Bandit Trans Am restomod with a big inch LS with a blower, 6 speed manual, big brakes, big suspension, etc. All the amenaties, etc. I'd probably use a 77' AT nad a recent Camaro (wrecked) as the donor. 

-67' Ford F-100 made into an extenda cab on a custom tube chassis sporting a 800rwhp GT500 motor and one of the 10 speed auto's out of the new Mustangs. Again, all the amenities. Something that would be nice to drive cross country.

-Mad Max Interceptor replica with a 800rwhp GT500 drivetrain in it. And again, all the amenities. 

If I was smart I'd sell all of the motors, transmissions, blowers, rear ends, etc I have and get a 2020+ GT500 Track Pack and leave it stock. Or a C8 Corvette.....and leave it stock. I'm not smart though.

Those are all awesome options but it would be Smokey and the Bandit for me 😁

I'm pretty sure MW members were fitting the super parts from Michael's VF-25G to the YF-25 Prophecy back in the day.

Ahh, that's what I figured.  It makes sense.  I just didn't know if they had to be modified to do so.

.

Wasn't sure where else to ask this so figured this was a better place than any.

That Trans-Am was my favorite car as a kid.  Still kinda is.......

Damn, I'll take one of each of them. They look great!

Glad they're releasing the YF-19.  I wanted one but not at the secondary prices.  It'll go nicely with my VF-19

I put down I wanted them to make every Valk from every series  

Not asking too much right?

When you get a chance would you mind showing off some of it's posing capabilities with some pics?  Not a big deal if you can't just curious if I want to get into the line.  

FINALLY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It's Gundam-e, but not a Gundam. I don't think it has a tie in with a show/movie.

Ahh don't know that either but looks really cool.  How posable is it?

Wasn't sure where else to post this so I figured I'd do it here.  Have a chance to get a GX-71 Voltron set brand new for retail and as a lover of the original cartoon and seeing raving reviews on it I think I might pull the trigger.  Does anyone on here have it and what are their thoughts on how good of a toy it is?

We're still not sure he's talking about the GBP. Kinda makes it hard to give a smart reply to the OP.

True

Holy craptastic this thing a LOT of figure! Especially for the money!

This is how big and nice Metal Builds should be IMO.

 

I've never watched any Gundam in my life (I'm assuming that's what this is) but I've always loved the mecha designs.  This one is incredible.  I've seen other metal build kits that also looked badass.  I've been really tempted.

Good point. They are all sold out at retail.

But some retailers do have new units still in stock (at above retail pricing). Then there is the secondary market where everything is available for quite a bit more money.

Right but not too bad of a markup from some of those retailers.  I only paid around $30 USD more than what the pre-orders were going for so I can't complain.

Seems like because of the high retail cost of the set it was pretty easy to get it close to the retail price upon release.  Which I'm grateful for, especially after the pre-order night nonsense.  Scalpers can't mark it up though I'm sure some will try after some time passes.

Damn you're right!  I never noticed that before!  Can't un-see it now.

The YF-30 has its flaws but it's far better than the crap Bandai was pooping out prior to the Frontier renewal line.

LOL,, no neck 

Ordered my combo set from Okiniland.  Should be here on Thursday according to DHL shipping.  I actually didn't pay much more overall than those who got it on pre-order night.
