  1. Someone somewhere has probably asked this before but I can't find it, so I'll ask it here. Anyone know if the old Gallia IV fold set is compatible with the renewals? Specifically the wing mounted speakers.
  2. Applied this fix to both my tornado sets last night and now they both look great! No more scraping the stabilizers on the ground due to saggy wings! Thanks for the easy fix!
  3. Been seeing unopened 25Fs on Mandarake for about 15k yen. Not bad.
  4. It's a pre-renewal DX, so it's staying in fighter mode, but glad to finally have one of these.
  5. Probably just an erroneous listing. They do that sometimes. Once they mistakenly put up an unopened Hot Toys Iron Man Mark VI for only 6000 yen. I snatched it up immediately. An hour later I got a cancellation email.
  6. I've ordered from pretty much every Mandarake branch and the Umeda & Fukuoka stores are always the slowest. Sometimes a week would pass before I received an invoice. Every now and then one of the other stores might take a few days to actually send an invoice. I've been to the Nakano and Akihabara stores... they're huge. Especially the Nakano store; it takes up several floors at the shopping center where it's located. Wouldn't surprise me if they occasionally had a hard time finding something on the shelves.
  7. I haven't transformed mine but I noticed a lot of griping about the ankles. What exactly is wrong with them? I remember my VF-19 had pretty loose ankles but I fixed it by disassembling them and applying nail polish inside the ball & socket joint. Is it the same issue?
  8. Whoa did someone say matte finish? Now I want two...
  9. I've never paid above MSRP for any Bandai valkyrie and would like to maintain that track record, as tempting as another 25S is. Of course it's much easier to pass when you already have one and not been waiting years for Bandai to reissue...
  10. I'm almost certain he had super parts in that episode.
  11. I wouldn't expect the price to drop until after the November release date.
  12. I got my Ozma long ago when it initially came out so I don't need one. If I manage to snag another, it's wm cheng's. I owe him that much for all the modeling advice he's freely given over the years.
  13. Available again at HS. http://www.1999.co.jp/eng/10227289
  14. That sucks. That's why I'm wary of buy any used toys, no matter how reputable the source. Yeah, I think the previous owner broke it, tried to fix it, then sold it to Mandarake without mentioning the break, and it was overlooked when they inspected the toy. I doubt they really do more than a visual inspection; they're not going to take out and play with every single toy that passes through their stores.

    Much cuter than Minmay.
  16. There was a slight curve along mine, and I couldn't tell if it was supposed to be that way or if it got bent during shipping or just poor QC from Bandai. It's hard plastic, but because it's so thin, it's almost as bendy as PVC. Managed to more or less straighten mine out by carefully straightening it with my fingers. Luckily it's painted, so no stress marks are visible.
  17. Is the head laser supposed to be perfectly straight or is there meant to be a slight curve to it?
  18. Just started getting into Hot Toys myself, and oh my god they're amazing! The detail and overall quality is superb! Gotta play catch up and find all the ones I want that I missed... Recent purchases.
  19. Put in my HLJ shipping request last Monday and it still hasn't shipped. My friend ordered one yesterday from Amiami and it's already shipped. Even taking the holiday into account, that is stupid slow. Nothing like paying for EMS shipping only for it to take as long as a SAL shipment. Times like these remind me why I dislike ordering from HLJ. Recent pics make the 27 look a lot better so I really want to get my hands on it and see for myself.
  20. What? Condescension on an internet forum? No way! VF-27 looks kinda disappointing. I have one on preorder at HLJ since I never got the 1st release. Hopefully it'll look better once I have it in my hands, but I'm not setting my expectations too high with this one. Especially disappointed at the reuse of the crappy old pilot and amputee Ranka.
  21. Hey, no need to be snarky about it. Just asking a question. Not all of us have the time to read every single thread and news post about these toys. And I definitely haven't kept up with the 30th anniversary VF-1J, since it's hideous and I won't be buying one.
  22. From the Angolz description: Accessories : gun pods, missile pod, three-barreled anti-aircraft missiles, boarding pilot figure, movie version poses for hand parts, simple display stand, stand for attachment, water transfer decals, instruction manual Can anyone verify if this is true, or is Angolz just being dumb and jerking people around?
