Hi-Metal R
in Toys
MY PO at NY was placed on Oct 4th.
Still no news. Will just wait patiently.

Lesson learned. Don't put valuables on high shelves when you have a cat that likes adventure.
Kshatriya along with Kempfer took a heavy fall. BUT...wait for it....wait for it...Next to NO damage. One of the rear thrusters for the Kampfer did break at the point where you plug it into the main body. But an easy enough fix. Drilled out the broken pieces on both sides. Now I just need a metal pin to glue into one end that fits snug.
That is a close call. Luckily no non fixable damages. I need to learn from your lesson. My 3 metal build toys are not "very secured". Need to change that tonight.
I have no cat, but two young children. Very risky to not factor in unforeseen accident.

I paid about the same at NY, but there is no news about shipping. They do take their time.

Mine had a broken bazooka handle.
Given how they package this, it is pure luck that not more parts are borken.
I have requested help from Show.z and they seems to be willing to try to request replacement from the producer. Given the situation over there, it will be a long long wait. But hopefully they will eventually send me a good bazooka.
Meanwhile, my pined fix seems to looks ok.

I received a head laser replacement from @kkx and was finally able to attach it recently. Now my YF-19 looks perfect! The plastic is well matched and the decal makes it look just like the original. I would recommend getting it into battleroid mode before attempting to swap it so you can hold the head steady while you insert the new piece. It doesn't take a lot of force to remove or to put in the new piece. I'm so pleased! Here are some pics:
Glad it works well.

After I glued the thumb, the hands are much more manageable.
Here are the crappy phone camera, poor lighting photo of the two latest arrival from Show.z:

@kkxI went ahead and ordered the Blaster and sword for the strike. This is maybe one of my more favorite toys. It is solid and beast as far as build. After watching a few vids on the blaster/sword pack additions I thought it was a no brainer.
Nice, looking forward to see photos of the complete package from you.

I ordered that one to. There was a seller on Ebay that had 4 of them for 225.00 each.I bought one, they took the remaining three down. Relisted in CAD for 40.00 more. Sent me an email to the effect "Cant ship for some time, may give refund if you want." I said no I will wait. If this one is like the Strike it is going to be amazing.
Found this one after digging deep: https://www.pavaykamall.com/poison-toys-172-scale-mechax103-hurricane-buster-gundam-figure-in-stock-p-474729.htm
But it is likely a scam.

This also seems really nice: https://showzstore.com/poison-toys-gat-x103-hurricane-buster-gundam-1-72_p0502.html

Oh I just got the 1/72 MoShow Strike that was released a few years back. Poison Toys/Moshow are by far my favorite third party creators right now. This thing is was worth the money for sure.
I think I saw some new weapon (sword and launcher) pack for this.
Would be nice to have a complete 1/72 perfect strike. Where did you get this? I search around a few days ago but can't find anything that does not cause over $300.

I agree.
I'm not worried. I have my towel.
I need that! Not for the virus outbreak, but for when I receive my credit card statement after a few weeks of PO craziness.
-
Yup, enough OT.
I have nothing paid in full no shipped now. So only risking $20 of PO money. So will wait and see.

19K people? It's adorable that you think it's that few.
No, I don't believe it. It is what the conspiracy theorist said now.
Some had been quoting number in the 40K range.
I laugh now because, these numbers are just pulled out from whoever's "back end".
Show me proof I say before making any claims.
Sometimes the damage from people panicking is worst than the actual harm of the cause of the panic itself.

Chinese government numbers downplayed? Conspiracy theory much?
There are lots of rumors going around now.
Not sure what to believe. A few minutes ago, saw a report about air pollution index in Wuhan is sky-rocketing. The conspiracy theorist estimated the burning of 19,000 human body could be the cause of this.
19K people dies?

Thanks guys for the replies.
I will be glueing mine as well, at least the thumbs.

The sinanju from Show.z landed.
Shipping took a bit under 3 weeks.
The item packaging is really bad (Show.Z packaging of the boxes was good). Pieces are just wrapped in thin foam and thrown in the box.
The swivel handle at the back of the bazooka was broken off. It was a minor miracle that this is the only major damage from the bad packaging.
I end up adding a metal rod to pin the handle back on.
The hands/firsts is a huge pain. The thumbs and four fingers piece kept falling off when I try to get it to hold a weapon. Gluing it permanently is also not an option, since it is not "flexible", I don't think I can fix the handle of any weapon in there once glued.
Otherwise, I am very happy with this as it looks really good overall. The joints is a bit stiff, but it is preferable to loose joints. The hand joints can even hold the combined rifle/bazooka up with no problem (not for extended duration, just tested it for a few seconds).
Need to find out the battery size and order some to test out the lighting effect.

My Shinanju has arrived at LA warehouse yesterday.
I hope it will not stuck there for 10 days like your Motor Nuclear in NY.
Why company did Showzstore use for their postage? The tracking shows CNE and I have no experience with them. Are they so bad that they often left item in warehouse for days on end?

That was fast. Sinanju is already sold out. I'll wait for your guys review and feedback on it.
I paid $2 to get in the queue, hopefully I stand a chance to get this if the review turn out good (I have seen a pre production review that looks really good, so very likely I will want this).

I just noticed that the DX SSP leave a much bigger/wider gap behind the neck. Both the Yamato 1/60 and 1/48 seems to be hugging the back of the valk while the DX "raised" the SSP.

I'm on the March batch, so it'll be a while.
I just paid for PO yesterday. Very late to the party. It will be a long wait. Hopefully they will address some of the issues and complains found in the current batch.

I did. I've got tracking but it hasn't gone anywhere yet.
Sweet, can't wait to see your photo.
12 minutes ago, no3Ljm said:I did. But it hasn't been shipped yet. Some members posted on the Third Party Gundam Thread they got bumped on the 2nd batch which is this coming March.
I will check out the Gundam thread. Thanks.
I saw some very small photo on taoboa review/comments on item on sale. They looks ok.
But some YT comments said many are dissapointed by the bare plastic red and loose joints.
I would not mind too much (about the joints) since it will be mostly static posted not play with. But some said that the hand can't hold the weight of the weapons.

I am seeing some people starting to receive and showing off their JG Hobby 1/100 MB Metal Build Sazabi.
Anyone PO one?
This was bound to happen...gray market VF's?

I receive the 25% discount offer too.
I had a bad experience at ebay when a seller discounted his item 45% and turn out that the account was hacked and the hacker just took payment and provide fake tracking number. Paypal eventually refunded me (after 3 weeks).
So I was hesitant. But pulled the trigger on this as I been looking for a PF max.
As of today, the tracking number given seem legit, it shows the package has left the originating city and moving through the system. The seller can still send me a brick, but at least the tracking number is legit.
One more problem for this KO, the arm armor is not TV version.
