  1. HLJ delivery today! DX Gigant Houoh and Figuarts Freyja! Had I realized that Cerberus Voyager releases this weekend, I would've waited until then to ship everything together. (I saw the release date at August 2017, and thought it was the usual end of month deal.)

    Order stop on HLJ now, took 6ish minutes.

    Y'all are a terrible influence. I have no particular attachment to the VF-2SS, but here I am, setting an alarm to get up in the middle of the night to buy one.
  4. HLJ and Walmart haul today. I love the Ninjago brick built dragons, and it was on rollback, so I couldn't resist. Mikumo looks great, Gaim SIC was on sale, and I've had my eye on Transient Gundam since Try aired.
  5. Mikumo and PW shipping are paid for, so just a bit more waiting for my first anime waifu figure to arrive (Captain Phasma Figuart doesn't count)
  6. The placement's the same on the 1/72 kit shield parts, so it's probably supposed to be like that. Thoughts on the eventual DX 31E. The radome will probably have some mildly obnoxious hinges in it, like the 262's shield, so the super parts will probably include a fully opened replacement.
  7. Other than that piece, I'm really enjoying the effect the armor has on fighter mode in particular. The extra bulk makes it look much more powerful, I'm also leaving the turret deployed, since aerodynamics don't matter in space.
  8. My super parts came in today, one of the little grey pieces on the side of the sliding thigh armor popped right off when I moved the clip. Easy fix, but annoyed that it needs done.

    https://hlj.com/product/bann16164 Messer's back up on HLJ. Gonna preorder him there, so I'll be able to combine with Mirage's shipping, along with anything else. I do have him preordered but not paid at NY, so I think I'll wait until I have my Lil' Draken set in hand before cancelling my order, just in case there are issues. Yeah he was cheaper there, but I should be able to save most of it through combined shipping.
  10. Today's HLJ shipment. Couldn't say no to the discount on Mirage, and I'm loving the Kyuranger mecha so far. I've got the second cockpit set en route from CS Toys, it didn't really seem like HLJ got many to begin with, the listing went to discontinued right after release.

    I ended up cancelling my preorder for Max back before release, deciding that I needed a consistent scale for my collection, which has worked with the upcoming M&M Arcadia release. Tonight I caved on the Messer figure, I really like the way the color scheme works on it, more so than on the 31F (being less than half the price also helps) I really need to stop coming to these forums so much....
  12. Must remain strong.... decided i didn't want Messer's, but seeing pictures and stuff make me want to change my mind. Edit: Choice was made for me, HLJ shows discontinued again.
  13. As I said in the other thread, I was planning on just being happy with one Arcadia 1/60, but I can't say no to this upcoming matching set, without having to deal with tracking them down on secondary markets. Skipped the HMR releases because I wanted consistency in scales, though they'd have been cheaper. I'm gonna need a second detolf by the end of this year.
  14. Super parts for VF-31F http://p-bandai.jp/item/item-1000113886/ As per MacrossCentral on Facebook: 7344 yen, Preorder opens April 21 October 2017 release.
  15. Wow. I thought about picking one up earlier, now I'm glad I waited.
  16. Ugh, I was planning on being happy with one Arcadia VF-1, and using the 31J and 31C as a sort of pseudo M&M set. Looks like I'm gonna end up with a sort of 'then and now' display.
  17. Just ordered the Lil' Draken set. Figure I might as well, considering how much has already been spent. (Doesn't help that I'm a sucker for completion)
  18. Mine? A great grandmother made a bunch of them years ago. I'm pretty sure it's older than I am (31).
  19. Here's my most recent HLJ haul. DX Sv-262Hs and all the currently available DX Kyuranger mecha, plus the cockpit set #1.
  20. While fighting with mine to get it into gerwalk, I accidentally screwed up one of the wing pivots. I think I put too much pressure the wrong direction. Going to look at it later and see if some super glue or nail polish will help. Nothing's broken, but there's no friction in the joint anymore. It's fine in fighter and battroid since the wings lock down, but will fall backward in gerwalk. I really do enjoy the toy, it's just an overly complicated mess that isn't really fun or intuitive to transform. (When I got my 31J, I'd transform it and repose at least once a day. This one, not so much,)
  21. Took a few pictures last night with some armaments borrowed from my 1/100 IBO kits. Barbatos's mace, Grimgerde's twin swords, Vidar's twin pistols and burst saber, the wrench mace, and Barbatos Lupus Rex's ultra-large mace. Sorry for crappy lighting and phone pictures, but you get a good enough look at it with some melee weapons.
  22. Got my email from HLJ, I'm off to bed, 3am on the east coast. Good thing I don't work until tomorrow afternoon.
