Hey ,does anyone have a good or bad opinion with toy-wave.com? They,re got M&M,S as "future releases",for $180.00,$20 more than hlj.com,but could be an option if hlj.com,s M&M,S become a thing of the past!!!!!!!!!

wHAT HAVE YOU HEARD FELLOW AUSSIE?

YEAH why,s? that do tell.

Yes sorry Iwas refering to tisinc99.com.No they don,t have M&M,S ,that,s what I was refering to when I said that they don,t have any VF-IJ,S w/supers parts,at hlj.com if I,m not mistaken Roy,s VF-1J is out,while it,s in stock in tisinc99.com for $135.00,etc..and what,s in stock there are around those prices.If anyone.s implying that tisinc99.com has a bad reputation that hasn,t been my experience at all,box,s and product looked fine,but if someone has a different story then please let me know.As for VF-1J,s being $130.00 everywhere else,excluding hlj.com ,bigbadtoys.com and sites similar are around the $155-$190 etc.If anyone knows of a site that sells under $130 then please help me out ,as I was only trying to help others out.

Now that I think about it,stealth is selling soooo well that it,s almost out everywhere (the stealth w/super and strike parts that is) Yamato would have to be all kinds of stupid if they didn,t re-issue it,I mean it looks like a re-issue of the M&M,s from hlj.com,and toy-wave etc...,and as far as I know there,s no confirmation that Yamato is re-issueing M&M,s by themselves without super parts

Spread the word: treasure island sports inc.com,with concerns to the 1/48,s are cheap around the $130 mark,Iknow that hlj.com are a few dollars cheaper BUT they are more in stock,maybe not in the 1/48,s w/supers but most other things are there,if hlj.com ain,t got it check them out.

Has anyone heard yet about Yamato,s movements on whether they,re going to re-issue m&m,s 1/48,s packaged alone without the super parts?There was talk about it,Ihope they do, those TV supers just don,t grab me by the balls ,plus it would be cheaper,and the DYRL ,s would look the right side of sexy.

At treasure Island Sports Inc.com super and strike parts are quite cheap,and the only place that Iknow of that still has stealth w/super and strike parts special edition $210.00 a bit checky but still available.

Hey I like the way you put it.Thanx ,do you own a stealth and if so ,any rubber seepaga in the hip joint?Hows the bp8 holding up?

Does anyone know if Yamato plans to re-issue the stealth w/super and strike parts special edition?,or is that only when there is a QC problem?

off topic -the transformers movie-some fans will hate it,some will love it,others will be indifferent,but it will probably be a big hit.I mean lets face it big robots-big money,and I,m sure the bean counters will be looking for something to cash in on.Has anyone got a feeling that Macross -most likely called Robotech if Hollywood gets it dirty hands on it ,will be the next robots going thru rounds, leveling cities,popcorn blockbuster hit.I sure hope so,it,s part of the reason I,m collecting 1/48,s right this minute,plus I also have undying love for the product-god I hope my instincts are on the money.

I was refering to the "whats wrong with my yamato etc.." FORUMS FROM ARound 2003,I know that ,s history ,but I,ve also read that the reissues have still had problems with things like rubber seepage in ball and socket joints in legs ,the infamous bp8 are the main concerns that I have. And that Yamato,s QC varies from reissue to reissue .I remember reading that someone asked Graham to mention a better quality bp8 to Yamato and he said that ,they didn,t think it was a concern .So I,m wondering if that bp8 and rubber seepage dramas still aply to the 2006 1/48 releases -meaning the stealth. At least I think that,s when it was released correct me if I,m wrong.Maybe "support service" was the wrong choice of words,what I mean is a stealth colored bp8 as a back up,from having read some reviews I,m a little nervous with moderate handling.I know hlj.com has provided a service for certain parts,not knowing if they still do as I,ve never ordered anything from them,just wondering if anyone,s had any problems with their stealth.

Hi I,m cowdeathtrap, love the forums, reading them as a non member for awhile ,very grateful for getting a heads up on all thats good and bad with the 1/48,s.From a design point of view I,m presuming the stealth 1/48 will have the same flaws as I,ve been reading in the forums,as I haven,t received mine yet but will soon in a few wks ,and will experience it as my first opened valk.I welcome any opinions ,advice on the stealth,but am trying to locate or be pointed in the right direction towards parts service,s for stealth .I myself have no creative skills in making parts ,that is not my aim,only to build a support service for stealth owners as I can,t see one on the boards ,if there is already one that I haven,t come across within the forums PLEASE be understanding as I take my foot out of my mouth. THANX COWDEATHTRAP.
