    Did you cancel a bunch of preorders from them recently?   If not. you can try "forgot password" and do a password reset too see if it would work. 

    No, I think the listing is a glitch. I was able to login and even though it states 1 left in stock, when I add the item to my cart, my cart shows empty. I thought it was fishy that I hadn't received any nofifications from HLJ after I added the item to my wishlist last weekend.

    So much win^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

    Woah, hey! Let's keep it clean......for the kids.:p

    Spidey's holding Lee's feet while he's doing killer sit-ups; get your mind out of the gutter! :p

  3. Just a heads-up to everyone: I'm going to be re-issuing the King Crab (Inbit Gosu) in July, so the whole 1/48 Space Crab set will available again for a short time. Price will be $336 Canadian shipped to all Canadian/US locations. International orders may be directed to Brett over at Return 2 Kit Form.king.jpg.14d0aebb1461a7139a8aae8b205b5d6a.jpg

     

  4. QC issues aside, I really like what Sentinel did with the Legioss. While I would have preferred it to be at least 15% larger and have more painted plastic (because in a few years, that nice white plastic will be quite yellow) it's still a great effort that gets extra points for ingenuity.

  5. Bad guy mecha don't usually sell well enough to justify production runs typical of even collector toys. The other problem with the Inbits is the notable disparity in size of the various types. In short, get used to garage kits or do without.

    Oh, and I'm re-issuing the Blueberry Crab on June 1st. Photo courtesy of derex3592derex3592.jpg.2b01fa11a084b6a23fc4e6d6688d9689.jpg

    This popped up on my FB Feed today.
    Buy Robotech VFA-6 Alpha 3D Printing Model | Action Assembly
    The STL looks like it is probably based on the old IMAI kit or Gakken toy, with some revisions and refinements.

    The way the shoulder hinge is designed, the hinged ankle guards, and the way the LERX mates to the mid-fuselage indicates that they "borrowed" from my 1/32 Beast, and them butchered the design in other areas.

  7. Hey all,

    Episode 42 of the Scale Model Podcast is out. If you want to understand why my new mecha design looks the way it does, you need to listen to this!

    I've also uploaded the instruction files for the new kit on Facebook, for those who want a look. There are too many plates to upload here (36) so I'll just leave you with the painting guide.

    I wonder if this method would work for that area?

     

    No. The broken part needs to pivot while also having a hint of flexibility. CA glue has very poor resistance to torsional loads, so not only will it not work, but it'll also leave your parts caked with unsightly CA residue. Best bet would be to back-engineer the part and 3D print something in ABS.

    A testament to the quality design of the base kit! 

     

    … now make some Hovertanks already!! :lol:

    In as much as Meptoys announced production of SC merchandise, I won't be poking the bear.
