I had actually gotten the Kiryu MFS-3 awhile back but forgot about it, till I was reorganizing toy boxes. :D

The OG Jaegers, Mechagodzillas.

Awesome Mechagodzilla collection! I have the same set! It’s a dream come true for me to have all of them plus the bonus poster version.

Thank you @Slave IV!  I wish the first release Kiryu wasn't so insanely priced, I'd like to have that one in my collection as well.

Yeah, that was one of my biggest regrets on missing too. Worst part is I saw it at a shop for the low price of $110. It sat there for months and I just wasn't ready to spend that kind of "big money" (lol) on it. Finally, I came to my senses and decided to go get it and of course, it was gone. Price has only gone up since and I'm really happy to get this latest reissue.

Oops sorry @Slave IV, I meant the 2nd release of of Kiryu, the one from Godzilla S.O.S. Tokyo. Where Kiryu has the Tri-Mazer cannon in the chest replacing the Absolute Zero Cannon.

i know what you mean about the first release, I put it off and then i was ready buy... sold out in stores and prices had shot up. I am glad to have this reissue so that completes my Mecha G Set. I thought about getting Mogera but seem lacking of gimmick for what they are priced at.

I’m still waiting for mine to arrive.  Not sure why I didn’t pre-order a case given I need two Gambit’s.  I think USPS’s estimate of arriving tomorrow from Grand Rapids is far too optimistic.

I’m going to look into some of these as well.

This is the first time I preordered a 'case'. Getting excited now. ^_^

Though I just need to double-check my emails since I forgot where did I preorder it. Hahaha! :lol:

One thing I noticed in the reviews of Gambit, Hasbro still can’t understand physics.  They arranged Gambits cards like he’s throwing them forehand instead of back.  I mean, it’s possible to do that but he more commonly tosses them back away from his body and not across it.

Took a LONG time to get here, but I'm very pleased with this.pOfxV1w1.thumb.jpg.fe7442bb31548c8a13afa6105a71c21f.jpg

It's a lovely figure, very well made and with good crisp paint apps.

Just wish mine hadn't shown up missing the head.

Apparently I am blind, finally found the head after pulling everything out of the tray.

lol, it happens, glad it was there.

Something similar happened to me.  I bought a VF-22 Miria from YJA, and the antenna was missing when it arrived.  I ordered a shapeways replacement for it, but that didn't fit well at all, and I was quite bummed about the whole experience.

It wasn't until almost a year later when I decided to take the gunpod out of the tray, when I saw the white antenna sitting right underneath.  Let me just say it was a really pleasant surprise (and my stupid mistake to have missed it), as the VF-22 looks incomplete without it.

Got a Corgi Predator Ju-87G-1 “Kanonenvogel” off eBay for $38 shipped. It’s an excellent model for a steal!

For anyone getting Marvel Legends Jubilee, be careful not to lose the pairs of glasses that are included separately.  She comes packaged with one right behind the other in the tray.  I was fortunate to have noticed without any getting lost.

Just my first post here on these boards, but I've been lurking for quite a long while ever since I accidentally got hooked on the first valk purchase sometime ago and went straight deep, deep down the rabbit hole.. :p

Currently, am just sort of trawling through & acquiring the varied valk representations of different eras.. the older Yamato 1/48s, Yamato 1/60s, Frontier 1/60 renewals, to the current HMRs, DX Chogokins and Arcadia valks.

One of more recent acquisitions were from apparently the much maligned Bandai's VF100 range, but thanks to Jenius's invaluable web site resource, I've managed to identify the VF100 Fighter-only VF-25F & VF25S with their special metallic paint. I gotta say despite the lightweight feel, the paint app and tampos just fantastic!

Pics below (I wish I have the photography skills of some of the more esteemed members & enablers here to better highlight the metallic paint).
