  1. I've already queued the montage of crushed boxes I've received in years past before so I won't repeat it here.

    Oh thank god. That 2000 flushes canopy was a real eyesore.
  3. Sweet! That reminds me I need to remind my buddy in Japan to ship mine to me.
  4. Amazon Japan is definitely not the way to go if you want mint boxes...

    Getting Sheryl's face right has been a challenge for figure makers since time immemorial.
  6. Im with you on that, primarily because I'm running out of space. I'll probably sell off my duplicates once I get my new moducases. I like having the extras for spare parts but really need to make space.

    Wait so did they get rid of the toilet bowl cleaner canopy or not? Haven't opened mine yet.
  8. I'm not terribly concerned about the box condition as long as the toy is undamaged.

    That is a hella expensive figure
  10. I'm glad they dispensed with the toilet bowl cleaner blue canopy.
  11. It could have been avoided with using just a tiny bit less force on the shoulder screws. I guess over-tightening screws is the new thing because the screws on my revival 25 were also incredibly tight. Had to break out a much larger screwdriver to loosen them because my little hobby screwdriver simply couldn't provide enough torque.
  12. Skimping on details is Bandai's bread & butter. That's the entire reason the HMR line exists. Shoulder blocks should be grey too. Whoops! More details... (so much for just doing a quick panel wash )

    I saw that. Seriously considering picking up another M&M pair at that price...

    Agreed. "Overpriced" is a subjective term, after all. I personally don't consider Arcadia to be overpriced for what I'm getting.
  15. The only upcoming DXs are reissues. Nothing new but HMR.

    Yup, prices for all toy lines have gone up across the board. I think because there were so many clearance sales way back in Yamato's heyday and people got used to those sale prices that once Yamato went under (turns out their business model wasn't great for solvency) and Arcadia had to move to a business model that would allow them to actually stay afloat that a bunch of people decided Arcadia was way overpriced and wanted the pricing back from the Yamato days.

    Yeah, Bandai's HMR may be overpriced sometimes, but Arcadia isn't a great example for more reasonable prices.
  18. Nuts to trying to order through a proxy. I'll just pick them up at AE or BiJ or wherever that carries TWE stuff. I have much more money than time & patience to deal with Bandai's artificial scarcity BS these days.
  19. Artificial scarcity is Bandai's bread & butter. As soon as I saw that letter, I went ahead and bought one from AE. I'm not going to hold my breath for a "restock" from Bandai when it comes to Macross.
