    Technically is available in the US. Bluefin is the US distributor for Bandai and I've bought Tamashii stands from them before. I haven't been to any shows were they have had a booth in over a year so I'm not sure if that's still the case,

    The original price was ¥1,040 at HLJ and ¥980 at AmiAmi. Though prices on line tended to fluctuate as high as $20 iirc. The 2 pack I received recently was $10. I did not get it from HLJ and the website did not have the details documented quite as specifically. I'm assuming they removed 1 stand and some of the other pieces to keep the MSRP down but I'm a bit disappointed honestly. I can't imagine it costs all that much to produce these at this point. They've been using the same design for ~10 years. I picked up GoodSmile's simple stand 3 pack to evaluate as a possible replacement. MSRP is ¥1,091.

    The MegaHouse versions are better toys. You can play with them without worries. I prefer the size and the look/color of the plastic as well. With the CMs they are more accurate and you have more options like the trading figures.

    It's not the combination stand. I have some of those as well and they are preferable in certain situations. It's definitely a mechanics stand and it comes with less pieces than before. I thought I still had an original mechanics stand box for reference but I couldn't locate it. I did however find a humanoid for comparison. The original humanoid and mechanics were the same box with different inserts.

    I never thought I would get a GM Cannon let alone two different styles. It's nice the African Campaign Type comes with a GM type beam rifle as well. Still waiting for a White Dingos version though. Also anyone know when the Tamashii stands became 2 per pack? I swear both the mechanic and humanoid used be 3 per.

    I hope so too. I'm overall unimpressed with the current offering considering the price point. It's a pretty big PIA to do anything with and pretty floppy all around with bits that just pop off. It looks great in bike and rider mode. Way better than my CMs or MegaHouse versions but I'm afraid to touch it,

    Just got my Yellow from BBTS and opened. Already a faint stress mark on the left side.

    The bar end mirrors (if that's what they're supposed to be) probably fold into the hand guards. The hand guards themselves may pull forward a bit and tuck in flush with the front fairing and not be used as should armor at all.

    I'm pretty excited about the RD Guncannon Heavy Custom that's coming out. I'm really impressed Bandai is releasing so many MSV units, especially the Federation ones. Not too many new parts but the color scheme really pops. I'm still hoping they do a Mass Production Guncannon and a White Dingos variant. Guncannon Heavy

    Thanks Wolf-1. When I read Shadowdance in 2015(?) there were only the 3 books. Looks like there is a few more now. I have actually read Night Angel and it is also very good. Less D&D and more general fantasy? With some darker elements. @Hikaru Ichijo SL I like that Spice & Wolf is a fairly large divergence from a standard fantasy story. It's a slice of life/commerce story predominately with some action and detective work thrown in. There's a romance element that's constant but not the entire focus with potential rivals but no harem. I love Holo's posturing and preening. It's a constant reminder of her true nature but it's never heavy handed or blunt.

    I buy physical copies for all my LNs if they are available. I get both with Tate no Yusha with kindle matchbook. I started reading In Another World with My Smartphone before it was physical now I'm getting the actual volumes. I like that they're releasing them in the smaller format. Easier to store and they fit in manga sleeves. Hopefully more series will be released this way unless the page count is prohibitive. Wolf-1 how are the other D. Dalgish books? I read the Shadowdance trilogy and I like it. It's like a cross of Batman and Assassin's Creed but when I got the first volumes of The Half-Orcs and The Paladins on kindle they didn't really grab me. Do they get better?

    One of my favorite games of all time. I have the guide on my shelf as well. I used to "collect" them. Seeing an activation of a skill like Salvo was so satisfying. I still remember killing the last Boss with body smash. 1 hit K.O. Currently reading some pulp fantasy, Summoner 5 by Eric Vall. I read a lot of the translated LNs like DanMachi as well. I usually wait until I have a back log and then binge read them though. I'm patiently awaiting Mahouka to catch up to were I read through the unofficial translations to. It's really a shame a lot of the details in the LNs never make it in the translation to anime or manga.

    I haven't posted in a while on MWorld because there hasn't been much exciting coming out IMO. A new BLOWSPERIOR has me out of hiding however. I have the CMS and the MegaHouse versions but it's nice to have a higher end option as well now. I'm certainly ready for some more motorcycle touring. Crossing fingers for Hoquet.

    and their prices with shipping can still be more than importing on occasion.

    I'm honestly surprised. In all the orders I've made this is a first. It's pretty irritating because if it really was for QC it failed. There's a fairly large black mark on one of the Gogg's legs.

    Bandai DX VF-31

    bluemax151 replied to UN Spacy's topic in Toys

    I just picked up my VF-31C. Is there anything I need to look out for with it? It's both my first 31 and first DX. The 236 page count of this thread is a bit daunting to sort through

    I'm actually pretty excited for the Gelgoog Cannon even though the EMSIA was already a great figure. This year has really been an explosion of great OYW RD releases, especially the MSV units. I'm still astounded and delighted we're actually getting a GM Sniper Custom. On a side note I wanted to ask of those that have been picking up the RD releases how many have had the boxes come re-taped? I recently received a Gogg and the package had been re-taped with parts loose in tray. This is the first time I've experienced this myself and I buy quite a lot of RD Gundam product.

    Black Heaven is pretty excellent. I still listen to Cautionary Warning all the time. The ending song is just kind of out there though The only thing that really bugs me about the show is I really have no empathy/sympathy for Oji's wife Yoshiko. Their relationship is toxic and she's a huge b*tch to him all the time but she is somehow the love of his life?

    The new Beserk show CG reminds me a lot of the old DC Sword of the Berserk Guts' Rage game.

    RD FAG is up for preorder! I was still a bit way about RD since they still haven't done a lot of units already covered by MSIA/EMSIA, HCM Pro etc but this take the cake. It has removable armor and awesome effect parts. After the Guncannon and now this I'm finally glad I started picking up some of this line. http://www.amiami.com/top/detail/detail?gcode=FIGURE-023078&page=top%2Fsearch%2Flist%3Fs_keywords%3Dfull+armor+gundam%24pagemax%3D40%24getcnt%3D0%24pagecnt%3D1
