    Bandai DX VF-31

    Shipped Friday and delivered Monday and I'm in the states. That's ridiculously fast.
  2. Perfect example of "it's not a bug, it's a feature!" Why fix it when you can skim a little off the top for a few days then claim it was a "bug" that did it? PayPal could easily have this crap fixed.

    It was a rhetorical question.

    Wow! Is that the Arcadia version? Because it looks fantastic! I'd be way more into the HMR VF-1 line if they looked like that good out of the box! Great job on fixing Bandai's crooked "1" on the chest too!
  5. PAYPAL MOTHER****ERS! I looked in my settings and they changed it to use their craptastic conversion rate instead of just paying yen and letting the bank conversion. I thought it was a little off when I paid for my HLJ 31F and shipping. We're only talking about a few bucks, but it's the principle of the matter. This is the kind of shady crap that makes people hate PayPal.
  6. I think all that goes out the window when you have a middle aged 14 year old an adult 3 year old... and they're fictional anyway. Also, let's not forget that Miria had her first kid at like 17...

    I see that last guy painted the forward sensors to give it the proper recessed look. Interesting.
  8. Always better to pay in yen than use NY's gouge-y conversion, especially if you have a credit card that doesn't charge any foreign transaction fees. Even the small foreign transaction fees that many cards charge eventually add up, if you buy a lot of stuff overseas.

    Bandai DX VF-31

    3rd one paid for at HLJ and ready to ship with my giant box of goodies. I noticed the shipping was a little higher than before. Shipping cost the same as my 2x Millia from NY but for a much larger box of stuff. NY really does gouge on shipping. Anyway, now we play the waiting game.
  10. If you don't enjoy it anymore, then quit, I guess? Hobbies are supposed to be fun. Not sure what the quality of the shows has to do with toy quality. Most of of the Macross shows are terrible, but the same can be said about Transformers.

    Bandai screwed up the angle. Won't be the first time. Image from jenius' site.
  12. Ordered 2x from NY since I had a discount coupon burning a hole in my pocket. Despite NY's inflated shipping costs, it ended up being marginally cheaper than 2x at HLJ (before shipping) thanks to the coupon. Don't expect me to be doing cartwheels over saving a measly $10. But credit where it's due: NY finally outdid HLJ.

    Shipping notice from NY. Looks like they got their shipping problems resolved.

    Bandai DX VF-31

    Paid for mine at Amiami. Hopefully it arrives by next Friday.
  15. Pre-painted fan racer and pilot? I must have one. I already have the clear version bundled with the Angel Birds VF-1 but I don't have the time to build and paint it.
  16. No limit, so ordered 2x at HLJ. If the secondary market prices fall because of the reissue, I may cancel one and pick up a Yamato version for the rainbow canopy.

    Man, did the Delta helmets look that goofy in the show?
  18. For those not familiar with 20th century Chinese history, during the Great Leap Forward, Chairman Mao ordered farmers all over the country to start producing steel in their homes. Well, it turned out there's a big difference in quality between steel produced in a real factory and steel produced in some peasant's backyard furnace! Oh, and since all these farmers were busy producing makeshift steel instead of, you know, farming food, it contributed to the worst famine of the 20th century. Not a perfect parallel, that's kind of what I expect when getting a KO item. The poor quality, not the famine I mean. On a lighter note, I had a cat named Chairman Meow.
  19. Is Megatron the same size as Prime? Robot mode, of course. I might have to consider getting one if he is. Talking about the the official Takara version.

    Knowing Bandai there will either be some differences or they'll include extra accessories to "encourage" you to buy another set, just like the 171 and 171EX parts.
  21. Yamato released a TV VF-1S with super parts set that came with a Hikaru pilot figure instead of Roy.
