  1. But if you go for the GBP you have either the GBP or VF-1J on display. Not both.
  2. In response to those of you attacking people that aren't woke enough for you. -You're doing exactly what you accuse the non woke of doing. Judging someone based on one social cue and then grouping them all on with each other. I think there is a word for that..... -You're making the wildly incorrect assumption that being sick of having the woke message shoved down your throat means that the person/people don't believe in all of he same things you do. Maybe, just maybe these people your going after are simply sick of being beaten over the head reputedly about something they agree with you about. When you push people, they will push back. -Beating on people, going after them on the internet, telling them that they are horrible people about something they agree with you about is exactly what got Trump elected. Keep it up. The results you will get next time will make Trump look like a problem you would rather have. -Lastly, no one accused this show of being Woke. Only that you don't need to tear down male characters or a show's history to to make women more powerful, assertive, have more screen time, etc. Only the people defending wokeism are calling it woke. To borrow a line from @jenius, I think that says a lot more about "The Woke" than it does about who they're going after. Essentially, to the woke, it's impossible to be woke enough to make them happy.
  3. As I'm sure some of you noticed I'm a bit concerned about the quality. When I saw the BBTS email pop up I thought to myself "Ah, I have a plan!". Reviews will be in long before BBTS ships. I can cancel my order post reviews if it's got issues. Yes, I will eat the $70 deposit. But, I'd rather eat the $70 deposit than get a $700 Voltron with problems. So, PO placed with BBTS. Man, there is going to be a glut of SOC Voltrons for sale!
  4. I want one!!!
  5. It sounds like they're having some shipping issues, Probably slowed things down a bit. This an email I got back from them yesterday on the quality of packaging. Getting 100 units out may not sound that time consuming. I assure you it is though. Especially if they had to change their process half way though. ------------------------------------- Yes, we have received some report from buyers of the new figure (DX VF-1D), as the item was super popular, we sold over 200 units, so we have given the whole container to DHL, we asked DHL to warp them, however, DHL didn't handle the parcel with care, we feel bad about it. we have confirmed that DHL shipped 78 units of DX-1D so far, still over 100 left, we already told them do use bubble warp, don't just ship it in plastic bag. (if you wanted to order DX VF-1D) and from now on, we will not give wrapping job to DHL anymore, we will start wrapping ourselves, please rest assured, your order will be wrapped with care. thanks again. regards LUNA PARK
  6. I'm going to need a bigger shelf!
  7. My Japanese is a little rusty. Thanks for the link though.
  8. I just got a FedEx package that was shipped Yesterday (JP time) and was on my doorstep this morning at 10:30am EST. That's just ridiculous (in a good way). The DHL package that left JP yesterday won't be here until tomorrow. Soooooo slow! And yeah, the Fan Racer is pretty small. All I need now is the DX GBP and the Hikaru shelf is done!
  9. I would like to read the original post by the writer (I couldn't find it above). I wonder how much he was defending scalpers vs how much he was playing Devil's advocate. I don't necessarily trust the often hyperbolic interpretations of people trying to make headlines. It's entirely possible that what the writer wrote is not exactly what it's being presented as.
  10. You saved me from wasting my time. I can't stand the "Guuuurrrll power" crap that has been coming out of Hollyweird.
  11. Anyone get one fro DEJapan? I paid last week (I know they had a holiday over the weekend). But it has been two business days over there since the holiday and still crickets on tracking.
  12. My buddy in JP got me two at $226.03/ unit. Now he ships to Tenso ($10ish). Then Tenso to me. I'm guessing $120-140 (they're pricey). I'm guessing I will have mine in hand for $295-300. I think that's as good as it can possibly get. So $50-60 more as a late fee without the benefit of a local buyer seems pretty fair to me.
  13. They just did a second release (not long after the original release) of the Mechander Robo but this time with weathering. They don't mind milking molds. I hop this means that there will be multiple releases of their Voltron. I want one. But I'm not 100% confident in their quality based on what I have seen so far from them. This Voltron is Bandai DX money. I have sen nothing Bandai DX quality out of them yet. I'm torn, I want one. But I would be REALLY bummed out if it was a design/QC letdown. On the other end if it comes out and gets rave reviews I'm not spending $1000 on one in the secondary market. I would have to wait for a second release. Choices, choices. I don't know what to do.
  14. Yes, everyone with a different opinion should have their lives ruined. That makes for a healthy society. And How dumb is this writer? He had to know that would go over like a lead balloon.
  15. This one is killing me. I'm almost always a hard yes or a hard no on toys. I'm waffling all over on this one.
  16. Release day
  17. Just got this email back from Luna Park about their crap packing: Yes, we have received some report from buyers of the new figure (DX VF-1D), as the item was super popular, we sold over 200 units, so we have given the whole container to DHL, we asked DHL to warp them, however, DHL didn't handle the parcel with care, we feel bad about it. we have confirmed that DHL shipped 78 units of DX-1D so far, still over 100 left, we already told them do use bubble warp, don't just ship it in plastic bag.

  18. Does anyone have Luna Park's email address? The contact button on their page isn't working. Thanks
  19. Really? We had no idea.
  20. Seriously......I don't care!!!!
  21. If you're looking for a good show to watch with your significant other and you're into dark-ish humor.... this is it. My wife and I just blew through season 1. I'm not much into "funny". But this show had me LOL'ing a lot. Like pause it for a few seconds so I can compose myself again laughing. This trailer (below) really doesn't do it justice. They left a lot of the snark and darkness out. And Alexandra Daddario is not exactly hard to look at for 10 episodes. Man, she makes me weak in the knees.
