That would be great!

I thought you were referencing a certain site.

What's JP?
-
I think I'll wait. I'm not THAT into it. Thanks guys.
-
How much do you guys estimate these will be going for on the secondary market? Looks like previous release non PF units are going for $700-800.

My order is now showing Ordered - Awaiting Arrival

I haven't seen anything from NY come my way.

Interesting indeed. Another rabbit hole to go down is state sponsored hacking. Very interesting stuff. The book Countdown To Zero Day is fantastic. There is a documentary too, but it's not nearly as good as the book is. https://www.amazon.com/Countdown-Zero-Day-Stuxnet-Digital/dp/0770436196/ref=sr_1_1?crid=25NW784M07MWP&keywords=zero+day+book&qid=1567396311&s=gateway&sprefix=zero+day%2Caps%2C162&sr=8-1

After reading through everything the options seem pretty grim. Nothing scores well. Am I wrong that it seems like it's a choice of picking the best of the worst?

Hey guys I'm for the most part a Macross collector but because Robotech was such a big part of my childhood I have a soft spot for Ride Armor's and Legioss/Treads. I want to pick up one Legioss/Tread for my collection. But I don't know what to get. What is the best example made? If you could only have one with attractiveness and size (bigger=better) being two big factors what would you get? Thanks!

Great Mazinger - What Is The Benchmark Toy To Have?
sqidd replied to sqidd's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
Isn't it strange how something like the movie being bad can turn you off of something that is in theory purely aesthetic? I get it, I'm the same way about things. We humans are weird. I'm guessing this is the Soul of chogokin D.C. anime color version you were referring to? https://www.bigbadtoystore.com/Product/VariationDetails/93803 -
That was just a "dumb math" example to illustrate the idea. I'm not really looking to do this. More curious than anything. Frankly, I shouldn't even be thinking about it. I have a TON of work to do I know will pay off. No need to invent more situations......................................that will make next to no money.

I just sent an email to my web developer. She is s wiz. Bots may not be her thing, but may know someone. We just needed to get some custom software made for our site. She had someone who could do what we needed (it's pretty complex) in her arsenal of contacts. I'm not expecting something like this to happen. But it's interesting to explore. This would be a good example of how to be a "moral scalper". Let's say I pay to have a bot created. I generate XXX amount of interest form MW members. I use my bot to secure that may releases. I charge more than the regular pre order price to cover bot costs, time, investment and a little profit. And everyone gets their order in for a lot closer to the pre order price than retail. I don't know if I have the time , investment (300 Valks would be me putting $45K on the line) or maybe even the interest to see it through. I am super interested in if there is a solution to the problem though.
-
Ok, just answered my own question. It looks like $10K+ to develop a bot. That seems really expensive for what should be very simple. I'm going to check with my web developer. Google may not be my friend on this one.
-
I wonder how hard it is to develop a bot (I have no idea about that sort of thing). As a group we could develop a bot and then secure MW members pre order pricing. There has to be a way of making that work.
-
Sounds like putting my eggs in a non NY basket is going to be a good idea huh?
-
Holy smokes, so they were $160ish dollars for about 10 seconds, LOL? That's....................................frustrating. It sounds like scalpers are using bots huh?
-
My assumption is the next one is going to be the DX Focker. No dates released as far as I can tell.

Riddle me this Batman. I just got back into this. The day I got back into it I "pre-ordered" a couple of VF-1S Hikaru's and a couple S&S parts. I got them for roughly $500/ (Valk and S&S) parts. They were available at NY. I'm assuming there was an actual pre-order for those that was a bloodbath and the people who got in on that paid less than I did? How much? So what units (that were yet to be made) did they sell me? Units NY got during pre order madness? Or somehow allocated to the by Bandia? Thanks!
-
Why are the exclusives easier to get. I don't think I understand what the difference between the two different type of offerings are. The latest VF-0D Premium is a exclusive correct?
-
This would be me if I did it.^^^^ Great post BTW, thank you for your insight.
-
This will be interesting for sure. I'm curious how it goes. It will be my first "bloodbath". I'm hoping to secure three for myself.
-
Yeah, I can't wait <sarcasm font>. I suspect the next thing I'm in for is the DX YF-1S Focker with S&S parts. I'm a huge Focker dork. I want three so I can display in all modes sanctimoniously. I have a feeling I'm going to be yelling at my computer on release day.

Great Mazinger - What Is The Benchmark Toy To Have?
sqidd posted a topic in Anime or Science Fiction
I had some of these guys when I was a kid and loved them. I still love the look/presence. First and foremost I'm all about bigger is better (all else being equal). What is the one toy to have (I will only get one) of this dude? The Bandia Metal Build looks fantastic. But at only 8" tall it leaves a little to be desired for me. But, all of the larger stuff I see isn't doing it for me aesthetically (well, not as good as the metal build). Any suggestions?. Thanks!
