Enjoy! That will be a grail some day.

Coming from you that means an extra special something. That's what I say when I see your beautiful pics. There are going to be some pretty cool additions/changes happening over the next few weeks. I've been planning them and collecting the stuff to pull them off for a while now. Also one very large box coming from JP. I'll post pics when it's completed. I love the challenge of pulling of a well laid out, attractive displays that also have an order to them almost as much as I love the toys. I'm new to this so I'm constantly learning and honing the craft. I'm constantly changing them around looking for just the right balance. I'm nowhere near what I would consider done. But I'm starting to get a feel for what works and what doesn't.

That's a pretty good price. I'm not seeing that listing though. This s the only one I can find. https://www.amazon.co.jp/gp/product/B089WGZJDG/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Oh yeah, the corners of mine were mint. The in between parts were the problem. I really is some grade F packaging. People underestimate how hard good packaging is. And how expensive. My shipping department spends a lot of money on boxes, packing material, foam expanders, etc. I even bought one of the machines that make the "big" air/packing pillows (6x4"). That sucker was worth every penny. On top of that all of the bigger boxes are packed with smaller boxes inside like Tetris. Figuring all of that out was a lot of work while staying with standard production boxes. It's paid off though. I've never had a damaged product. And that's saying something when the boxes are big and around 75lb. The shipping companies tend to drop those....off building I think.

Both. The Hikaru 1S and GBP are Takatoku. The rest are Bandai re-sissues. I don't care enough about "heritage" to do them in all Takatoku. Not that you can do the Super 1A's in Takatoku. They were never available unless you wanted to do some custom stuff.

Now all they have to do is train the shipping department.

Shot out to @F360 for the super smooth VF-0S transaction. Finally added a "naked" YF-19 to the Plus shelves. I love the loaded out Full Set. But there is something just so clean, slim and pretty about a naked YF-19. -
Mine looked the same. I had to cut the white box off.

I did think that was pricey. I think I'm just going to wait and see if Bluefin gets them. I'm not even sure where I would put those huge wings anyway. But I want them.

So these guys help skirt the safeguards? It says they're no longer in stock. Am I assuming correctly that when the PO opens they will show in stock?? Thanks!

Your childhood is anchored to the Titanic movie? Weird man, really weird.

Fingers crossed Bluefin has them at some point. That Tamashi web exclusive stuff seems way too hard. How are you guys getting that stuff? From what I understand proxy's aren't an option???

Just the box. It was crushed in from the side....a lot. It didn't get into the fighter but it was so crushed the inner box/tray couldn't be pulled or pushed out of the white outer box. I had to cut the white box off.

Along with torturing animals this is a clear sign that a serial killer is going through the development phase. Seek help! What bothers me the most about that pic is that I know how anal I get about the setup of the DX head lasers and how difficult it is to get them exact from side to side. You triggered me!!! I like the DX head laser adjust-ability and options. But man. it's borderline too many choices.

Good luck with that! PO's have turned into blood baths. Sold out in minutes. It appears that not very many people on this board were able to score Roy PO's this time around. And most of these guys are seasoned PO pro's. I'm resigned to paying whatever mark up is on release day and just dealing with it. I buy multiples (at least three) of just about everything though. And with shipping in the state that it is in I don't do too bad having my release day purchases shipped to my Tenso account the consolidated into one shipment. With most PO's being limited to one unit you're looking at three separate shipping charges to get three to home base. Of course PO's will always end up being less expensive. But not by a lot. I picked up three Kakazaki's on release day and ended up paying $10-15 more than people who PO'd once you took shipping into account.

Lock him up!!!!

Roget that, thanks!

I sold my Yammie 1/48 because it simply didn't compare. And the armor fell off all the time. Fingers crossed there is a DX release and it's as pose-able as the rest of the DX line with the armor on. Well, close. I guess it can't be THAT pose-able with all of that stuff on there.
