  1. Except if the original company sending "collectibles" doesn't package things to withstand what they know will be shipping company abuse, it really is still on them. Getting a check for a destroyed collectible, even if it is just the box itself, is not something you should want your customers facing except in extreme accidental situations. We have two on here already.
  2. That's just HLJ's default setting. If you make it in, you are still limited to 1. After it sells out, it switches back to the default of 20.

    Must resist
  4. Me too! mine was just crappy and fell apart. I might still have the grey gunpod somewhere, though.
  5. Love it
  6. We have swappable hands, so swappable goggles is an obvious money grab. I see Bandai providing one with their GBP but selling the other for 5000 yen.
  7. Perfect!
  8. Preparing to launch all missiles, Hikaru loses his glasses.....again.
  9. Nin-nin's a gamble. This release being smaller means you may be OK, since the demand didn;t drive up scalping high. The Roy low priced orders from Nin-nin? Probably not going to happen.
  10. I think they put on special sunglass sensors (those the gray goggles) and Hikaru just keeps losing them and having to put them back on. <crickets> I'll show myself out.
  11. Mostly because the duties end up being VATs, whereas unless something is being shipped commercially it usually won't get chased down by customs. Not having a national sales tax or VAT makes it more difficult to do so on an individual basis. State sales tax nexus gets a lot more fun for international folks and there are many cases where an international purchase *should* trigger sales tax but nobody really pays it unless it is flagrantly obvious. Hell, it is only the past couple years that out of state sales tax collection became a thing.
  12. Same. Here you can see my 1S with them canted forward for combat: But then here I have it up and slightly back: And my chunkies are almost always straight up or slightly back.
  13. I'd bid but that is when Bandai would announce the 1J with GBP armor.

    Even my wife, who refuses to watch a single episode of any of this, loves the HMR Monster.
  16. Much better!
  17. Fixed things for Bandai!

    It's good to know that you all are here to support me when I question buying more.

    Now I'm asking myself if five CF 1As is enough.
  21. Episode 2 seemed to have a lot of editing issues. Stuff like they go into the basement of the tower looking for Tic's dad, pull the wall pieces out, see the passage and SUDDEN JUMP TO OUTSIDE Tic's dad is climbing out of the ground and they just walk up to him after he gets out. And yes, Lovecraft was a racist and very much a product of his time. We have to remember this is pre-WW II, eugenics was actually a field of study in colleges. That said- most of his writing is more an attack on white trash "Catskill people" than anybody else. You want to see some racism from the same time period that people have "cleaned" over time? Get some old Agatha Christie novels.
  22. Lots of games companies are using that model to take the risk out of producing a bunch of what doesn't sell. Granted, and then you had Palladium's infamous kickstarter. lol
  23. The Udvar-Hazy extension to the Air & Space Museum has one you can walk right up to (along with a ton of other awesome planes, including the Enola Gay, the shuttle Discovery, and I think the only Dornier 335 still in existence. We spent a lot of time there when the kids were little, especially on rainy days because it is essentially huge hangers stuffed with planes and, more importantly, outside of parking it is free. And when I said you could run right up to it, my kids when they were little did: If you come to the DC area, it is definitely a must see. You can see the A&S Museum downtown and then take the free shuttle to Udvar-Hazy if you want the trip totally free.
