    Cool- I was curious because of the split up the middle and didn't have an immediate reference to Cap's version (which I would still love to have but I'm so shitty at painting and model making that I'd be embarased to destroy his beautiful kits).

    I'd definitely prefer @tekering's version. Is that Cap's?

    Your options are mostly limited until Japan Post kicks fully back into gear, so expect to pay something like $50-60 for DHL or FedEx, if not more.

    Got some goodies shipped in from Japan today, including one of my grail items, a Yamato Virgin Road that @Shawn put me on to. The bottom four are all Tsukuda games I got great prices on. And here is a quick picture with my 1/60s together, though my overhead light makes it difficult to get a good picture right now:

    What do the Robotech LAM and Flat Earth Theory have in common? True believers who can't be convinced otherwise

    Are you saying that Live Action Movie is just lies? Sorry, I couldn't keep a straight face saying that.

    Oh, I know for sure. I never got the Macross saga version because I felt I had most of that stuff covered already in Perfect Memory and a few other sources. I will say that I only spent like $30 on this and it is a hardcover, so I'm not complaining too much. I spent more than that when shipping was factored in to get the newer Mospeada mook for essentially the few pages of Genesis Breakers stuff.

    They do a page they say is "previously unpublished" (but I'm not so sure about that) of the Auroran transformation sequences. But that's probably the most love it gets.

    Here's a few quick shots from the book taken with my phone quickly, but if someone wanted to look at things more specifically, I can scan something. My copy of the Imai files doesn't have the details on these two factions, but I'm sure someone else's does: Most of the army groupings have a page similar to this: In terms of my issues with the presentation of the bioroids, first they note the blue "soldier" bioroid: On the next page, no explanation at all, they show this later stage bioroid: Similarly, they have the green "sub-commander" but have Seifrit's ted "commander" on the page opposite: But then separately list the red "commander" bioroid: They then display the "armored/invid fighter": The book then goes into the hoversled, the Zor/Tyrolian ships (transport, cruiser, mothership, dropship) and then suddenly goes back to "miscellaneous mecha" and starts popping out more bioroids: The organization is just all over the place.

    I grabbed a copy and it contained some of the Imai Files stuff reproduced (crediting Robert Harkavy). I'm taking a quick look through again since I inly flipped through (my current bathroom reading being Sandy Petersen's 5E Cthulhu Mythos adaption book). Some of the things I hoped they might have dug out more info on (like the fleet ships) was lacking. They also did some bizarre things with the bioroids instead of listing them in early/mid/later. I'll take some shots and post them up to show what I mean in a bit.

    The MEPTOYS ones are going to be finished products (painted and all). COVID pushed the release of the scout/Iigaa and so apparently MEP is waiting to build and release the ligaa, shocktrooper/gurab, and the hellcat inorganic at the same time. Cap's stuff is DIY models which look fantastic but beyond my ability to make look that fantastic.

    Ha, Nice find, Shawn!

    Got a notice on this: https://www.bigbadtoystore.com/Product/VariationDetails/162832 While I don't want this particular item, this might bode well for Macross goodies being available in the US beyond just the series themselves.
  14. vladykins
    I'll probably end up with both.

    Mine was boxed. I thought I had a picture of my unboxing but I'm not finding it. Definitely wasn't in a bag.
  16. vladykins
    Love that low-vis. Mine was pretty solid as well!

    Luna Park shipped my Roy pretty quickly and it had a bigger issue with getting stuck in HK customs than anything that was LP's fault. Still got here pretty fast.
  18. vladykins
    I hooked up with Luna Park earlier and just payed the markup.
  19. vladykins
    They do ship to the US. When my Roy with them popped up, they shipped DHL.
  20. vladykins
    Ha- I was a proponent for keeping things as they were but am willing to give this a shot a little longer before I move to "told ya" status.

    We're trying something new and organized to see how it works.
  22. vladykins
    I'm hoping I waltz easily into a retail one instead of a slightly marked up one like my recent luck has been.
  23. vladykins
    FromJapan I only use to buy auction stuff now and don't even try TWEs anymore. Granted, I haven't tried with this one since I'm going for the combo sets. But FJ has been too difficult to get TWEs the past few goes.
  24. vladykins
    It will likely be cheaper at a few sites on PO day, but availability that day at retail becomes part of the fun. Sometimes it is nice to just pay the markup and not worry. I've used Luna Park before and they delivered fine.
  25. vladykins
    More retailers will open up, plus you can order through proxies to the p-Bandai site itself. AE can usually get the TWE items and I don't think they've popped up yet.
