    You also have to be careful that your light meter tests in the correct range. Nothing is ever easy. Check out this link: https://cool.culturalheritage.org/waac/wn/wn30/wn30-2/wn30-204.pdf

    I just like to b!itch about it.

    Agreed and agreed. Figma and Sh-figuarts aren't $200+ They do it with stuff like Super Robots too. Beautiful figures ........for all the money ......that are too small. They don't even do the Metal Build thing to make you feel like you got something special. They're lightweight plastic. I stopped buying Sentinel for the most part. Look at this thing. Looks great. But it's all plastic and only 6.3" tall!!!! For $300 retail!!!!! That needs to be 10" minimum. https://www.bigbadtoystore.com/product/variationdetails/101307?gclid=EAIaIQobChMIvOLcgb_E6wIVEvDACh0zlgJhEAYYAyABEgJeVvD_BwE This is the last Sentinel I bought. It's only 7.5" tall (without the wings). Just the figure retailed for $300. The wings/tail were another $100. I absolutely love the design. I had to get it. I'm done with them though.

    AmazonJP comes through A LOT. Not enough to bet the farm on. But they're pretty darn good. I've picked up a few things post release now for really good deals. I don't think we will see any Roy's like this though. I have a feeling they're going to be a whole new level of crazy.

    I'm pretty sure that their promo pics had white goggles???? If so, no one has any recourse. Doesn't make it right. It just is. They were pretty good about getting SV-51 legs out. They can send out a bunch of heads now. Man, having a vested interest in Arcadia must be frustrating. They bleed money over the dumbest stuff.

    Arcadia has to have something screwed up just a little with every release I think.

    I'd be ticked.

    Fun fact. I just measured this. Battroid height with head lasers is almost identical to Fighter length. So 71cm/28in tall in Battroid! It will be about 87cm/34in tall with SSP's!!! Holy smokes!!!! Who am I going to find to paint it? A house painter?

    Exactly. Off gassing liniments/glue or off gassing polish used on wood or wood laminate.

    Sentinel loves to make frustratingly small toys across the board. They make really good looking stuff. But come on guys, Charge me $50 more and make it bigger!

    UV is probably what's killing you. With input from Master Tekering I set my toy room up to have zero UV light. I even went as far as to buy a UV light meter so I could know for sure. What UV film did you get? I don't have it at hand right now but I found a film test done for a museum. It was shocking how many big name films performed way under what they were advertised to do. Also curious what material the shelf is made of. I have a theory that shelf material is a factor too and have been collecting as much data as I can.

    Nice!!!!! How tall is this going to be sand SSP's? Without measuring a 1/48 I'm guessing this will be 20-22"?
  16. sqidd
    If you get to the point of selling these......................I'm a buyer. Are you going to do SSP's? If you need any metal parts let me know.

    Damn! I wish Yamato had made a 1/48 Focker Low Vis!!!! So awesome.

    My VF-11's look like $20 Transformers compared to yours.

    Commonly heard in the barracks; "Shut up Sneeden!!!" or "Ah crap, he comes that Sneeden goofball" or "Dude, don't pull a Sneeden"

    My current dream car is this. A buddy just got one. I'm in love. It's soooooooo sexy. And perfect in every MB way. You can jump in that car and drive it around the world if you want to. I'm a huge Aston fan. But they constantly break down and cost a fortune to fix. Even if you're doing the work yourself.
  21. sqidd
    Well, do it then! Take one for the team! I made the Focker release happen. I've done my part.

    No problem. I don't want to see you get into that money pit! You're probably going to find that as you get older your desire for something more exciting diminishes. I can't believe that I'm at a point in my life where I don't have a fast car.......and I don't care one little bit. I was never without a fast car....unless I had a fast motorcycle for my entire life. Then it just kinda stopped. One day I said to myself, "What is the point of this thing?". It's not the 90's and early 00's where you could dive like an a hole. Too much traffic, too many people on cell phones/texting, I'm no longer inclined to be constantly looking out for the fuzz, etc. I've got a Fusion and a F-150. I drive 5 over on surface streets and 7 over on the freeway. I haven't had a ticket since 2006. And that one was me not paying attention when the speed limit dropped on the freeway out of state. My wife has a loaded out 19' Mustang GT with the 10 speed trans. I've driven it once just to see what that 10 speed was all about. Never had a desire to drive it again. One caveat. I've had some seriously fast stuff and have spent a LOT of time on the race track. There is probably a bit of a burn out/been there done that factor in play. My last fast car was a 2007 GT500 that made a touch over 1000hp to the tires and went 221mph in the standing mile. So yeah, been there done that. I really do enjoy flying under the radar, not paying insurance for fast stuff and generally just chilling out when I'm driving.

    Nice work! I've got a couple of these. about a year ago. One MISB from @jenius and the other one opened/transformed/displayed from some rando. Neither of them had any yellowing. The red did come of Sticks suit immediately though. Anyhoo, I'm wondering if you have an environmental thing going on? You would think that the MISB one would be yellowing like yours all things being equal. The yellowing during storage could, and I stress could, be a "run on" effect of them yellowing while on display. That's really the only thing that makes sense there though. Storage in Styrofoam has it's issues, but if I remember correctly they're in plastic clam shells correct? So we're left with how they're being displayed. How are they being displayed? Are they getting any UV light at all? Any big temperature swings? What is the shelf made of that they sit on?
