They are! Hopefully you can find the ones you want at a reasonable price. Prices for Mirage and Arad are a bit out of hand... -
Amazing DIY display cabinet! Care to post a tutorial so us less handy folk could build our own?

Thanks for the heads up. I'll be careful when I take them out. Very nice! -
Definitely some grumbling about the 100 screwup from Japanese buyers in the review section. https://www.amazon.co.jp/dp/B07SH712YR/ref=sr_1_1?dchild=1&keywords=vf-1s+dx&qid=1585454782&sr=8-1

With slowed production and limited release slots, I wouldn't count on Bandai using those slots for lower return items like destroids, even though those are way better than the VF-1.

That's a pretty good price I think.

I've already touched on Star Wars fanboys and their selective memory.

TMP is an unwatchable movie just like Into Darkness. It doesn't matter how great the individual parts are if the whole is garbage. You can have the finest ingredients available to you, but if you're a crappy chef, you're still going to get an inedible mess.

Here's how I view Star Trek as a whole. TOS: A couple of good episodes, but otherwise mostly crap. TNG: Seasons 3, 4, and 5 were the peak of the show, but the cracks were showing by season 5, and 6 and 7 are a lot of garbage with an occasional good episode. DS9: Slow start like all Trek series, but once it picks up steam it becomes by far the best and most consistently well-written Trek show. Voyager: Mostly garbage. Seven is one of the most interesting characters in the show, but marred by that stupid catsuit. And her under-utilization in Picard was borderline criminal. Enterprise: Almost entirely garbage, but it did finally start to get interesting in season 4... then they pulled the plug. Movies: Only 2, 4, 6, and 8 are good. I also really like 5 and Nemesis, but in a "they're so bad they're good" kind of way. Star Trek II is still the best movie. Why was it great? Because they wisely chose to ignore Gene Roddenberry. TMP and Into Darkness are the worst and I honestly can't decide which one is the crappier movie. TMP is what happens when you let a self-deluded egomaniac take the reins.

Like Star Wars, most of Star Trek is also not that great, aside from the outlier that is DS9. Picard falls squarely into the middle "meh" part of the Trek bell curve, elevated a bit by Stewart and Spiner's performances (as Data, not the other dude).

Wait. Some here actually BELIEVED that Anakin was a virgin birth? And that Shmi wasn't just a loose woman who slept around? Star Wars fanboys forget that prior to Anakin, the Skywalker family was also a bunch of nobodies. Less than nobody, actually; they were property. So the slave kid at the end of TLJ using the Force was a nice nod to Anakin's own origin, and a theme in that movie that was actually good. TROS is a nice nod to the "DERP PEW PEW" stereotype of Star Wars fanboys.

That price wouldn't be too bad except that ebay charges tax now. Does it include shipping?

I wonder if there are more T-shirts like that... -
No cancel notice from FJ and it says "Ordered - Awaiting Arrival" so I guess I'm good on Kakizaki.

Thanks. Can't wait to slum it up in Tokyo with it on. -
I wouldn't hold my breath on that. Bandai hasn't even finished any squadrons on the HMR line, and some of us are still waiting on super parts for the rest of Delta squadron. Pretty sure Bandai decides what to release next using a dart board. Or laying down a bunch of valk pictures on the ground and seeing which one the company cat decides to sit on.

The Rise of Skywalker was even worse than The Last Jedi. TLJ tried to do new things. It failed, but at least it tried. And the movie did have a few good points, my favorite being that Rey's parents were nobodies and that anyone can rise up to be the next great hero. TROS just rehashed the same crap from previous movies, but did it much worse. It was creatively bankrupt in addition to being incredibly bad. Multiple reviewers have pointed out how it copies a bunch of things from Avengers: Endgame, but in a much sh***ier fashion. So it should be called Star Wars: Sh**game.

It comes bundled with a missile set! How could anyone pass this deal up?

New stuff day. Picked up another Hot Toys Iron Man suit. And another Sheryl figure. But most importantly, I think I have a new favorite T-shirt. -
Finished Picard season one. I liked it better than Discovery, but that's not saying much. That last episode was confusing as hell. Don't want go in-depth or spoil anything, so I'll keep it short. Patrick Stewart was the best part, much like Captain Pike was what I really liked about Discovery season 2. Suffers from extremely poor pacing, characters that are poorly utilized, and an underwhelming story. Man, the terrible pacing was what put me off the most. So, in the end, Picard season one was mostly par for the course for Star Trek. Because most of Star Trek sucks. I say that as a lifelong Star Trek fan who doesn't view past shows through rose-tinted goggles. But at least this was better than Rise of Skywalker. Also, Roddenberry's vision sucks.

That's the issue right there. There's been no issue with supply of Kakizaki because it wasn't Bandai producing it. Because Bandai is known for producing plenty of goods so that everyone can order one with ease!

From Japan seems to be the best price at just under 21k before shipping. Glad I got mine in before they reached their limit. Probably going to use From Japan for all such orders from now on since AE is price gouging now. Preferred ordering from them in the past so I could bundle all my orders together.
