I didn't check the shoulders. If they're cracked, no big deal. It's something a drop of super glue can fix. Was willing to pay extra for the intact rainbow tint!
Also picked this murderously adorable item up!
23000 yen unopened. There was an opened item for 18000, and it was in good condition too, but the rainbow tinting had started cracking, so I paid extra for the new one. I love the rainbow tinted canopies!
Found an unopened Hikaru VF-1A in Akihabara, so snagged it. Once both my Kakizakis arrive, I'll finally have finished my TV and DYRL squadrons!
Oh, and grabbed another Regult for good measure. Still a few more left on the shelf.
Finally got my Regults. It's the first HMR purchase I've made that I'm actually happy with. Looks great and is quite stable on its big feet.
It comes with a Tamashii stand in the box... good job Bandai! Don't include them with the VF-1 (which could really use it) and include them with the Regult (which doesn't really need it).
So how dirty would a Regult be after being in service for 500,000 cycles?
Those Transformers look sweet! Wish the toys of the 80s were like those!
I'm not in the Transformers scene, so I have to ask: what does 3rd party Transformers mean? They're not officially licensed products?
The looks and posing abilities of the renewals are so good. So much better than the crap that came before. That's probably why I get so annoyed when I receive a shoddy product from Bandai. I know they can do great things when they actually give a damn.
Don't feel too bad. It was listed as an opened and used item. I don't like getting used items anymore, as I've been burned too many times.
Just be patient and an unused one will eventually show up.
Sold out at HLJ now.
Reduced my orders to only 4 Regults so I have some room for the inevitable scout and missile variants from Tamashii web. Just speculating but I really hope Bandai releases those.
