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.

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.

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.

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.

I'd bid but that is when Bandai would announce the 1J with GBP armor.

He's here as @jenius

Even my wife, who refuses to watch a single episode of any of this, loves the HMR Monster.

Much better!

Fixed things for Bandai!

Custom it in Roy scheme

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.

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

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.

Yeah, it has yellowed a bit mainly on the shoulder pods. But I have a thing for the black and gray color schemes that made me have to get the low vis 1A to complete. -

Still working out where I'm putting all the 1/48 crew now that I have the low vis 1A -
So I decided to readjust things by doing the following: - Move the HMR Roy who was in battroid mode to just standing instead of being on his custom stand. Used custom stand for HM Roy in the back. - Take the stand that HM Roy was on and use for the last CF 1A. Quick shot of all the valks on one shelf (I had to take it low because I was bumping into the fan/lamp in there). Also the glare through the blockout shade looks more intense than the light actually is):

Damn, Grabbed three new HMRs (armored VF-1J and 2 CF 1As. I had two leftover Stage Act 5 stands, minus the connecting boom (I have two previous CF 1As on the same stand together using two booms). I got my original stands for under $10 a 2/pack last year, so I went to get more and am not seeing anything less that $23 now- which is more frustrating because I just need one boom that connects to the base itself. So now I'm tempted to just get a FextHobby one for $6.99 instead, but then I'd end up having to buy something else to make the shipping worth it, like another SciFi 2. Until I decide, I have one CF in fighter mode not able to get displayed the way I want with the rest. Either that or I have to change one of them currently on a stand.

Absolutely nothing that I have found. no tears, no stains, nothing. I thought a fraked up box would still be worth the price, but nothing is missing and everything is like new as far as I can tell for now. -

The Bandai 1/55 super was 11000 yen for a b grade box, but I can't figure out why it was graded downwards. Toy is perfect and still has tight joints. -

After finally getting impatient and contacting The Jungle to get things DHLed, my package arrived. Thanks once again to @sqidd for spotting the low vis 1A for me.
