  1. I like BBTS for some orders but with markups + 12% tax and shipping costs most times it's better I just order out of Asia some place. I like buying from Plaza Japan but they don't get involved in the preorder madness unfortunately. Nice family owned place to buy from.
  2. The purple has a better fit and finish and a better box, the red feels and looks rushed as if they did it under duress. Out of all the ones I own only the red broke, only the red felt cheaper the plastic feels brittle in my hands. Disappointed owner regarding the red both in price and quality.
  3. Same here too. once I added up the Regular Roy with Special Color Roy then added shipping I could just buy a nice DX Roy for the total or an Arcadia Version Vs.2 like Jenius pointed out then I'd still have lunch money for the week. they will have to try much harder to get money from me going forward. something cool like Alaska Base or Yellowjackets, the Angel Birds was a good start so still crossing my fingers. The DX last month and now this Month has wreaked my wallet too
  4. Understandable and definitely complicated I agree. BW & HG could learn a few lessons from Hasbro & Takara on how to work together and get along.
  5. 1/12 would be large your going to need a big coffee table to display it and several friends to help transform it.
  6. Not sure it's a big sale when they wanted to charge me $115 shipping for two boxes. It was only $60 six months ago. Whatever I would be saving from being on sale they are recovering from the increase in shipping. Yeah I could go with the over four months shipping. But a lot could happen to the packages in 4 or 5 months.
  7. I got mine through Luna Park and hopefully it has no issues. I just wanted to have a modern one to display in front of my boxed 1/55's As a toy collector vs macross collector have a few nice examples is fine vs trying to go all at it Pokemon style.
  8. Sounds way to complicated they should just send to distributers and let the market work from there. If they are going to stop KC or TZ from making things like this for sale in the USA then they need to provide the access themselves. That's only fair.
  9. That made my antenna go up. could you share more please. They seem legit having a phone app and YouTube channel. I wouldn't be against having a snuggle session with either one of them myself.šŸ«¢
  10. Skillet Head looks amazing!
  11. What and were do I buy this one? for those of us who don't know a lot about buying from a Bandai Directly as the only other DX I bought I had to get from Anime Export
  12. Thanks for the keyboard Info, I've been thinking about updating from my Logitech K850 and wireless mouse but with a sea of products and endless review videos it's kinda been off putting .
  13. That's a negative there ghostrider. Just a heads-up It's a new listing and in the coming soon section not the preorder. Also they already sent me an email to pay the full balance. They only do that when expecting to ship out in the next few weeks.
  14. I think I might just buy a Roy Yamato as its almost Impossible to get a good deal on the Bandai on second hand market. Pic is very helpful. thanks!
  15. This is under a doll category but its a BJD Fembot/Cyborg so really more an action figure regarding pose's. Its expensive but pretty cool imo and hand made. takes 8 to 10 months to make.
  16. Three Zero Arcee came in today! Somewhat heavy , Nice stand! was not impressed with the cheap quality black & white manual that explained nothing. I guess it has added wear & scratches to make it more realistic?. Lots of parts binding while posing that could snap something. good articulation but the plastic parts are not really bonded well to the metal frame. Is it the best? nothing else really to compare it to, but the Hasbro stuff. still nothing from other 3rd parties. I can only say from the Hand Feel, Paint, Quality of materials its as good as BigFirebirds Nicee. With taxes and shipping from BBTS it was $201.95. that might be found cheaper elsewhere but only took 3 days after shipping to get stateside. I really think this action figure is overpriced and should fall somewhere between $135 to $150. Overall I'm going to give it a SparkScoreā„¢ of 9.1 out of 10. not sure if anything else could top it, everyone has moved on from the bumblebee movie to ROTB characters so if this is all we get? its pretty good. I'll update later with some vanity pics
  17. Looks very natural for the time period. Looking forward to seeing it.
  18. This is actually my favorite Jetfire. had it not yellowed, It would be desirable. but its looked down at like its got a disease. to me its just patina. some woman's husband died and after spending near 4 decades being displayed in the kitchen hutch she sold it to me for $300 on Ebay.
  19. I've had sellers on Ebay send me Jetfires they soaked in bleach while using a toilet bowl scrubber to clean off the yellow. I was so upset I put a few heavy bricks in the return box to make sure the return shipping cost would sting! ( I know that was mean I did kinda feel bad afterwards) Yeah I agree to your money, your choice about toys you play with.
