  1. They have a shipping table and they tell you the weight of the product so you can figure out the shipping on your own. I just made my first purchase with them and expected to have it by now... I was charged $100 for EMS on three Yamato Products (YF-19 + Fold, VF-0A + Ghost, and Urban GBP) and maybe I'm spoiled but to spend that much for an expedited service and not have it shipped until three weeks later seems kinda... mean :(

    That said, they have a good rep around here for actually giving people what they ordered so I'm confident my package will arrive in good shape.

    Cool, With regards to his shipping table. Is speed post EMS and what is air parcel?

  2. Fat chance, since they only repaint whatever the current Prime figure is and call it Ultra Magnus. But who knows? Maybe someday they find a cure for their cerebral rectitus and actually give us fans what we want.

    From my understanding a g1 re-release of Ultra Magnus was going to occur this fall as a Wallmart exclusive, or are you guys refering to the masterpiece Magnus that was released?

  3. Cool, I'm glad to hear it looks like the originals will be out, sooner or later. After 87, the figures started getting cheesy. Some of the 88 figures were alright.

    Shin since your the joe guro, what ever happened to wave four of the DTC ARAH line. Was it scrapped? I remember seeing some pics of Airtight, Cobra Officer, etc... floating around the internet.

  4. 3 / 4 of my VF-1s's have floppy heads, and I bought none from Tisinc :angry: A little bit of epoxy and shortening of the screws seemed to magically fix that :p

    It's more of a build issue at Yammies Factory Imho.

    The head on the screw is shredded, I can't get any leverage to turn the screw out. none of my other 1/48s seem to have an issue. If your talking about the 1/60s though that's another story.

  5. If they did that, they would have also had to replace one of the wings. Was 001 on the wing, or was it 011?

    No it's skull 001. Unless the replaced the right wing. Somebody, was probably custum happy and wanted to see what it would look like on max. Either way it wasn't new :(

  6. Tisinc99.com has them for $75. I`ve never had any problems with them but they have a rather hit and miss reputation.

    Your really taking your chances with that company. The last thing I bought from them was a Hikaru VF-1S supposedly New in mint box. Well, after taken it out I noticed the head was floppy. No big deal, I can just tighten the screw on the bottom of the head. Well i could have if it wasn't stripped to hell and back. I've got a feeling they took a Hikaru vf-1a a placed a 1s head on it.

  7. I'm not surprised they are junk. They would need to cost a fortune to be that big and very detailed and durable.

    I'm still curious how much they are though. If they are expensive ($500+) the they are junk. If they were cheap ($200 or so) then they may be cool enough to buy because of their size. But if they ding easy or arms fall off they aren't worth anythig.

    If I recall correctly they retailed for 3000-3500 dollars back in 20002-3 when they were released. There was a toywiz article that featured them that had MPCs on the cover. IMO they look like a giant non-posable super posable. Me thinks, definetly not worth the money.

  8. Scratch the availability question. I just read the review.

    thanks

    You can still find them occasionally on evil bay. They typically go for around 80 bucks. You can also try Macrossworlds Wanted section. Maybe a member would like to part with their's!

    If your into modeling you can pick up the Hasegawa kit. It's a nice kit I'm almost done with mine. The only problems is that it doesn't transform.

  9. Ok, These are being branded 25th anniversery joes! Why no Snowjob, Torpedo, Tripwire, Flash, Grunt, Stalker, zap, cover girl, Steeler, Wild Bill, Short Fuze, or Rock 'n' Roll! But we get the gay'ist character of all, Serpentor and some oddly colored Storm Shadow! WTF is up with pimpin leapord print Destro, BLAA!

    In my opinion Wave 1 should have only consisted of the earlier Joes. I guess those characters were not dynamic enough.
