  2. I doubt you'd make enough to retire on ;)

    Most places that still have the pack in stock are virtually giving it away.

    One of the best things those packs had going for them was they were not pot luck like the regular series were. You knew what you were getting and there were some decent cards in some of the packs as well.

    I reckon your best bet would be to break the pack up and sell the components individually. That way you just might get your money back.

  3. Is the MechWarrior: Dark Age tabletop game still popular? I saw a House Davion Action Pack heavily discounted at a local store and thought it might be a good ebay selling opportunity. I know that the people making the game folded, but there has to still be a thriving community for it.

    As far as I know there are no sponsored tournaments any more and that's where it's popularity came from. Sure people are still playing it but without the lure of prize packs and cheap mechs that were on offer to clubs for their monthly games a lot of clubs have just dried up (at least in Aus anyway). In the last few months of last year I sold off about 400 clicky mechs on ebay so there is a market for them but they didn't sell as well as they did 2 years ago.

  4. Everything remains the same as the 2008-released toy with the exceptions of a newly designed packaging and the addition of a projector key holder that will project a red skull mark!

    Wouldn't matter if they actually wrote on the side of the box that the shoulders were pre broken for your convenience, the Yamato Macross fan boy legion would still buy it and then complain like there was no tomorrow that the shoulders were broken :ph34r:

  5. Not to defend anyone, but I've ordered tons of stuff from HLJ and had it shipped to me all over the world. No damage at all and I was always amazed at their high tech packaging (compared to everyone else's "peanuts"). My only complaint about them is they're in Japan so shipping is costly, but that comes with the territory. - MT

    What's so "high tech" about heat sealed plastic air pockets :blink: Tons of places use them and you can even buy them from packing firms.

  6. A lot of people here have ordered with HLJ before, maybe some people had experienced similar problems and gotten final resolution. It wouldn't hurt to seek the advise from the mored experienced others.

    As NO ONE here represents HLJ, whatever advise you get is just conjecture on their behalf. As I said contact them and join the world of satisfied HLJ customers when they give you their stock answer referring you to their FAQ of all care but no responsibility.

  7. RLM 2 and RLM 75 are fairly different colors, but both are "medium-dark" grey. RLM 75 has a hint of purple in it.

    Never said they were the same :huh:

    They both have the same japanese text on the Hobby Color chart. H69 is RLM_ _ _75 & H70 is RLM_ _ _02 (can't be bothered typing the japanese text). The Bandai paint guide only uses the japanese text and not the RLM numbers. Looking at the Hobby Color chart I'd say H70 is more suited to the greenish shade shown in the 3rd lot of 3 colours in the guide & H69 is more suited to the blackish grey shown in the 4th lot of 3.

  8. Here's a list of the VF-27 Sterne colours done in the same 3 colur blocks as the paint guide. They were taken from the GSI Creos catalogue. Pretty sure they are all okay except for H69 & H70 which both have virtually the same name although one is RLM75 & the other is RLM02.

  9. Aurgh... Can't... Resist... Any... Longer!

    That does it, buying from Rainbow 10! I don't suppose we've got any translations for colours yet? ;)

    Why when HW Japan has it for 550Y cheaper.
