Damn, you can get muf through the post I usually have to hunt mine down at closing time (unless you go ugly early)

I'm pretty sure someone has posted this or one very similar in the past but I don't think it had the plastic pockets on the cuffs. From memory it wasn't a custom it was available from a shop in HK.

Not as excited as I am.

Paypal pays instantly if you have a linked account, you don't need any funds in you PP account. HLJ is just slack in processing the order.

I'm waiting for a package but I suppose I'll have to buy something before it shows up Gee, luv threads like this. Helps get the post count up.

They suck (and that was to get my post count up ) No hero uses one so they won't get any luv.

Behind The Green Door Macross II and of course Gunparade March

After reading your post I've just checked what I had ordered from this free post promo. Yesterday the open order page showed all items were waiting to ship or whatever it shows when you tell them to ship all available items. Now it's showing up as it normally does with availability next to all the items so I've had to tell them to ship all available items again If the order stuffs again I'll just cancel the lot, after all even with the free postage it still isn't worth the hassles and the savings from buying the items from HLJ as opposed to HW Japan is minimal.

Welcome to the world of the HLJ ordering system. If you have various items in the one order that are not all available at the same time they DO NOT place the items they have on hold for you until the others are available. You have to keep checking your account all the time and tell them to ship all available items and yes if you are too slow doing this the item goes on back order. Use HW Japan. They are far better at handling this. When an item you ordered on a multiple order becomes available they WILL automatically hold it for you until the other items become available. They also seem to fill their backorders quicker that HLJ and a lot of the items that HLJ claim are discontinued are readily available from HW Japan. Their web site is a bit hard to handle at times but you can always research what you are after on other sites then order it from them. HW Japan are anything up to 30% cheaper than HLJ on day to day items (all Bandai items are at least 20% cheaper), their postage is ALWAYS cheaper, they use SAL Parcel Post (HLJ force you to use EMS if the items can't be sent SAL small packet as for some reason they will not use SAL Parcel), you have the option of EMS with HW Japan but SAL Parcel Post is traceable so why bother and as a cherry on the top they also give you reward points that you can use at any time for discount off any future orders.

Nice try but you might as well forget it. This thread has been well and truly hijacked by the 6000 words of pointless dribble trogs that lurk in the shadows of the interzweb waiting for the slightest opportunity to unleash their mindnumbing dissertations on subjects that they somehow fell are related to the original topic. There's a picture in the original House Kurita book of a foot soldier sitting down enjoying a swig of saki. It's a wonder someone hasn't started musing over wether or not the saki is warm or cold, what type it is, wether the creases he gets in his pants from sitting down with get him into trouble when he goes on parade or if his saki breath will fog up the gun sight in battle BTW isn't it just PPC not P.P.C.

Thanks for looking Andy. One will surface one day.

In a few words; Robert Thurston. Check out The Legend of the Jade Phoenix 1, 2 & 3 and the follow up titles, I am Jade Falcon, Freebirth & Falcon Rising. The last 2 are part of the Twilight of the Clans series. The Jade Phoenix Trilogy follows the fortunes of a group of new Jade Falcon mechwarriors and the other 3 titles continue the stories of the lead characters from the Trilogy. Thurston has IMHO an easier to read style than some of the other authors, especially William Keith Jr who wrote most the Grey Death books who I feel has a tendency to ramble on with too much filler and not enough action.

Ginrai, Gui & co, it's quite easy to start another thread to discuss your totally pointless (from a Battletech perspective) ramblings about who came first, the chicken or the egg starship trooper dissertation. This thread has been clogged up with way too much crap about law suits and other ramblings and whilst I'm sure you know a lot about the implications of starship troopers and other sci-fi writings in the big picture please take them else where.

No great loss, after all it's only Sydney I'm sure Mars will send it back when they see what Rugby is like.

Thanks.

Just scored a VF-22, still looking for the others.

Well pardon me for drawing breath without your permission

Thanks for all the suggestions The weathering suggestion hit the nail right on the head, thanks Andy. I've got some of those Tamiya makeup set type weathering kits and one of them has silver in it and it seems to match almost perfectly. Going a bit OT but how the hell did this post end up in the Anime & Sci Fi forum when I posted it in the model forum

Whilst eye of cat is my first choice I'd gladly cough up for a hovertank or maybe even a flash clapper.

I just got a titanium coated MG Gundam Unicorn and was wondering if anyone knew what to use to touch up the finish in the spots where it gets cut from the sprue. I know Tamiya make a titanium silver paint but it doesn't look the same colour.

Another one for VFTF1. A big pile of plasticrack for minimal outlay

Just got mine Was the brand choice of the plastic bags the bits came in done on purpose or was it a coincident?

The reason the Timber Wolf (Madcat) isn't in the intro book is that it is a Clan mech and the intro book only deals with Level 1 3025 Inner Sphere mechs. The Clan mechs don't feature until 3049/3050 with the exception of the odd bit of clantech in Wolf's Dragoons.

Would watch II over Plus any day (let the flailing begin )

Maybe but I've got a full Wolf's Dragoon Zeta Company (pre Misery) and apart from the single mech types it has 4 Annihilator, 7 Stalker, 5 Atlas, 4 Awesome, 3 Marauder II, 4 Imp & 3 Shogun mechs plus all up I have 614 IS mechs and 332 Clan mechs. There are a heap of multiple mech types in that lot.
