LOL- I had so many landing gear induced finger injuries as a child. Those springs are unrelenting.

Love it. I have a stealth in my urban camo GBP.

Low vis VF-1A?

And it depends on which ride armor you get. The Beagle ride armor is probably the most complex for transformation, with the new Sentinel stuff a little easier. If you go cheaper for the Megahouse or CMs then the transformation is a bit simpler (but also might frustrate you for other reasons, like accidentally knocking the wheel pegs out in armor mode every time you slightly move them).

I'm quoting myself here because I was totally wrong about the preorders going live tonight. The silver-lining? It sounds certain they are going up before Yellow ships at the end of the month. 

That a confirmation on the end of the month for Yellow? Some said December, but I'd be much happier with November (meaning I'll get it December rather than January).

OK, just grabbed the 1S Messer and then saw a Milia 1J super for a good price so grabbed that and now I'm going to STOP LOOKING.

If fiascos like the Robotech RPG Tactics scam didn't sink them, it's likely no amount of bad press will... short of discovering they're laundering money for terrorists or something.

I had to up vote for that- I lolled hard.

Looks great!

I'm biting for at least three- my legios need some inbit crawling all over them. Way better than using my old Matchbox "scouts" who aren't scouts.

I enjoyed the Suntory Hibiki, plus the bottle is pretty awesome.

The VT-1 does look nice there in front of the Monster.

And now I have all that empty space in front all the way past Lego Voltron since I moved the minis to their own shelf

So I'm likely going to grab at least the Messer to go in front and then maybe look and see who else I don't have a version of somewhere in a different scale.

I'm holding myself to just the VE-1 (and maybe the 1s Messer since that color scheme is so different from most of what I have.

But I have a bit of empty shelf space now that I moved all the mini/super deformed guys from this spot to their own shelf over one of the windows (with all my mini Gundam guys):

I love building models but get lazy as hell with finishing them sometimes though. So I'm for completed Toys as well. 

I've got a Regult model I bought because it was a great price but I'm probably going to send it t a buddy because it is going to just sit here on my office shelf and collect dust.

The Moscato sets were very tempting but I knew it would just sit there next to that Regult box.

I'll patiently wait and see what Sentinel might come up with. 

I still need to build my Capt America kits too. 

I really wanted one, but I'm awful at models so having a pre-built toy works better for me.

I think when I saw this before the legs were straight forward and now they angle out a little and that helps a lot. I get the feeling Sentinel might do something to rain on this guy's parade though...

They're hoping to have these in their warehouse three months from now, so with Sentinel's pace MEP should have some time in market.

Granted, I'll buy Sentinel's when they eventually come out too, if they ever get me my Blowsperior.

This is the story of so many HMR collectors once they get their hands on one...especially the Enemy Mecha and Destroids.

Luckily I already had all the destroids, a glaug, and regult.

I gave in and grabbed a VE-1 as well. And I'm looking at the FEXTHobby displays and stands too.

Though a RT product, these look like they will be fun:

Why not both?

Take your time.  Finish the basement first, then pick up some HMR off of here or the bay when someone lets it go.

There's no hurry in acquiring Valks, I say, and you probably already have a few VF-1's right?  Swoosh them around a bit while watching your basement getting tricked out.

I've got a Yammie v1 VE-1 which I'm considering selling off to justify buying the HMR VE-1, but my wife keeps being overly supportive and tells me not to sell any of them off and just buy. She's not helping any.

You are screwed.   

I made a serious mistake I need the money to finish our basement, not buy more of these guys. Talk me out of it before I convince myself to get "just one more". You know, maybe a VE-1. And maybe that Messer color edition 1S because it is different.

I wish it didn't look so good next to the destroids and Zentaedi. I may try popping the extra Hikkie into the Defender if he fits.

Oh buddy you're in trouble!! I didn't think I was going to be that into the HMR's, I was WRONG! I love these little fellas. You're going to end up with all of them.

That's one of the reasons I've been avoiding it for this long- I need to redo my basement before I go on a buying spree.

Looking forward to picking them upat a semi-reasonable price.

So I've already owned the destroids, regult, and glaug. But I've been holding off on a getting any valks, mainly because I already have valks at 1/48, 1/55, and 1/60 scales, so buying into a totally different scale took convincing myself. But after seeing everyone's picts and @jenius's reviews over time, I've finally taken the plunge and bought one- just one, to see if I can control myself.

Not opening it until I get home from work, but first impressions:

- Having played with the Bandai DX just yesterday, this guy is so adorably tiny.

- I'm loving the fact this has two Hikkies, a Misa, and a Minmei minis

Oooooooo, don't get me started. I need to stay away from those!

I've got my mini gashapon sized ones and I'm happy with those. I just need more in that size for the Zentraedi.

I've been tempted- the articulation for it looks decent given what they had to work with, especially since this seems to cost in the same range as people selling the old non-articulated Matchbox version.

Granted, with the rest of my stuff coming in over the next couple of months, I've been holding off on this one.

Found a Glaug on Mandrake with "severely damaged box" (whatever, I don't care) for $75. But because I hav an addiction issue with toys apparently and I needed to justify shipping.....I got a few more things. Man, I've got problems.

And now I have a new problem. This is my first enemy mech. Gonna need more!

 

I'd buy more regults is they didn't cost an insane amount now.
