Got my shipment in!
Thank you @WiseGuyVic and Anthony!
Come to SDCon this year in Torrance and pick up an Imai 1/20 Gunpod and help support the site! (all sales profits fund the server costs each year)
Shawn
Glad to see everything got there safely! We'd love to be at SDCon but we've got our hands full with some local stuff happening real soon!

Nice specials you've got going Vic!
I like the Mospeada ones...will have to get a couple of those!
Thanks! They’re doing very well! We’re gonna make some of these regular purchasable specials, everyone seems to like em a whole bunch!

Surprise Us! Can't wait to see!
Well I’ll tell ya now, I updated the store last night and will continue in the next two days, we’ve got some auctions up for second chances and some up for other series. I’ll be introducing more “unique” lots very soon.

I agree with @MechTech. The updates are awesome and I get really happy when I see all that plastic Macross goodness piled up high. @Shawn, I wish I could have flown in with you guys to see it all in person.
I picked up a five-pack and can't wait to build a proper SDFM TV squadron as soon as I get my workbench unpacked and going again.
Oh you're the lucky guy that got the special! Glad to see they all got there safe! I'm glad the bulk auctions are doing so well!

Another update, hope you enjoy.

I think there are at least 2 more to go this size-there were just so many pics!
Feels kinda surreal seeing my name in the updates! Your visit feels like it was just yesterday but we've had so much happen in the warehouse since you've came out here!

Looks like BULK items are hitting the ebay store!

Those Imai 4 types are really cool, super simple to build showing the entire transformation series
We've got more coming! Any requests? I've got a few ideas cooking....

yeah this is what I am looking for! At least some of them. The Tomahawks for sure, I am sure you sold out of the 1/72 Glaug, I could not get to them fast enough. Thank you for your help. Also if you run into any other 1/160 Monsters, I am happy to take one off your hands.
Actually we do have both! But both have banged-up boxes, that’s the only catch. I was going to list them discounted but if you want to get those too just shoot an email to Anthony and I’ll be the one to pack em’ if you want to buy them.

I haven’t updated in awhile, we’ve been really busy with a ton of non-sci-fi stuff and I actually just found a bunch of stuff that I saw everyone talking about! I’ll address a couple of things I’ve seen.
1) Macross Factories: As far as I know… they’re gone. We had a stack but they all went so fast it’s not even funny! There might be more in storage but I won’t know for sure until I keep digging!
2) 1/72 Tomahawk: We just found a few!
3) 1/72 Armored Valkyrie: We just found the VF1As and a single VF1J!
4) I don’t check the forums very often so please email: wiseguyshobbiesllc@outlook.con so that Anthony can subsequently ask me to find the stuff we have in stock!

I want them ALL....pack them up!
We have way more in the storeroom, I kept (literally) stumbling across them as we dig deeper lol. I might end up with one or two from other series as well as Macross. I wonder if there’s a way to frame cardboard for display… it might be a good wall decoration for the shop!
-
I meant to reply sooner but we've been quite busy! I took a few photos of the shipping cases we have in the store. Not all are up for sale as we didn't anticipate people would actually want to purchase them.

That VF-1J is the iconic Box Art that inspired Tenjin on his incredible Art Career! And that VF-1S From Imai is a very cool kit too.
So you are telling us you made some progress in the storage room? The room that I could not even walk 2 feet into?
PLEASE share some pictures if you can! I'm dying to see what else you uncover in there. I wanted SO BAD to dive in, but time was ticking.
It wraps about 25 feet to the right...looks just like this...or should I say looked? Floor to Ceiling.
Yes indeed! Organizing the storage will be an undertaking that we’ll chip away at in the coming months. I was able to clear a walkway on my own and Anthony and I will be doing a bit more this weekend. I’ve found a multitude of things we already have in stock as well some interesting non-Macross goods. Rest assured, we will have vintage Macross goods for a long while! I will say though, we are making steps toward carrying modern goods in the near-ish future.
I’ll attach some photos of what the room looks like, these are from when I was just starting to work on the room in the morning, I took pictures for some of my friends in the hobby so they could get an idea of what I was working with haha.

Love those paint schemes that are simpler and follow the original series colors! (the weathering and panel lines are awesome, but sometimes I just like to go back when the kits looked like the anime a bit more!)
Are you going to build one of every Macross kit in the warehouse? You could have quite the collection!
Believe me, I’ve been collecting all sorts of Japanese mecha and sci-fi kits since I was a kid, having multiple Macross items is very much part of my agenda haha!
I would’ve responded sooner but I went to go organize the storeroom that’s housing the rest of the inventory, I made good progress and found some particular boxes I hadn’t seen before!

So you're the keeper of the lost city of gold..
welcome to MW ! Were all drooling over the inventory pics and videos. Keep up the good work mate👍🏼
I’ll try my best! We’re working really hard on organization as our order volumes have increased between the last few months!

Welcome Vic! It was a wonderful meeting you in person! You have my dream job right now going through all those thousands of kits
For those that don't do Facebook (like mw), could you send any direct links to the videos and builds? I'd love to see them.
Shawn
Likewise, Shawn! Here’s samples of my work, the Regult is the most recent kit I’ve done for the store and I built and painted some things from the warehouse right before I began working there!

You can contact Anthony direct via his business card (I don't put the actual text due to spam email scrapers)
You have NO worries about depleting the available amount of model kits out there by actually building them
These were all produced in the thousands or tens of thousands quantities. I've seen every kit come up hundreds of times on auction sites.
So buy and build and have fun! Then post up some pictures of your completed kits!
I'd def like to see painted kits and some notes on the build process! I'm Vic, the Inventory Specialist (Unofficial title lol) for WiseGuysHobbies. We're still working on tons of stuff and I've been working on showcase videos and painted builds for our social media pages on Instagram and Facebook. Those pages just go by "Wiseguyshobbies", they're very easy to find. I thought I'd finally stop lurking here after so long lol.

We actually do combine shipping! USPS might just be charging more if you live somewhere like the West Coast or Canada. I'm not able to be on here more often do to the sheer volume of work I have most of the time but I do want to assure you I want to improve our relations by hearing about things like this! On another note- you can use our new website instead! -> -> -> https://wiseguyshobbies.com/
We have multiple options for shipping on the Wise Guys Site!
