New to this franchise and to this fourm but I am glad to be a part of it. There are the two Macross figures I have, YF-29 (2020 ver.) and VF-31C. 

I'm still blown away how can look so good and transform into an aircraft with almost no kibble on the bottom.

Where's Boba?  

Boba Fett is right here.  I didn't need to get another one.  Also, screw the time period for the Bounty Hunters.  I'm putting this group with a bunch of other Star Wars Bounty Hunters.

Yeah, I started a bounty Hunter shelf myself.

Need to unpack or open the rest when I find them.

Hmm.. Bounty Hunter shelf for  @Slave IV and @sh9000.

Then Cad Bane, Sing, Shand, Death's Head [actually Marvel UK done by Furman], Greedo, Daj Pur, Ammaman, Zam Wassel and a bunch of guys from Mos Eisley/Maz's Cantina and Jabba's Palace. 

 

Yeah, I have some of those figures on deck. It reminds me, I used to have a scum and villainy shelf. 457947424_StarWars_BS_ScumandVillainy_DSC06752.jpg.454eb4cadb97330023b91d10919e7ff1.jpg875252909_StarWars_Lando_DSC06916.jpg.3221f6a2ac4985eefadd2d18ab35ebf3.jpg

My Bounty Hunters so far will consist of 4-LOM, Aurra Sing, Boba Fett, Bossk, Cad Bane, Dengar, Din Djarin, Fennec Shand (when she gets released), Greedo, IG-11, IG-88, Jango Fett, Q-90, and Zuckuss.

 

Nice displays @Slave IV.

Thanks! The one I want most now is Momaw, or as I always knew it since I was a kid, Hammerhead.

Cool.  I figured you had him already.  He's the most important after all ;)

I hope HotToys does a 1/6 scale Q-90.  I really like the design of that droid.

Dude, that sucks.  I'm sorry that happened to you.  Hopefully the toy is fine otherwise.  You might be able to whiten those parts up.  I bought a still sealed one recently and it was good.  No discoloring at all.  Sunlight seems like the most likely culprit.

Sorry to hear about this purchase. Did you attempt on contacting them via email or thru their customer service?

I read their FAQ's on Pre-Owned items and it's kind of sketchy that they will send something like a 1 star rating against a 5 star rating description.

https://solarisjapan.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/categories/360000037601-Pre-Owned-Products

Is it ok to ask on how much did you paid for it? Also did you pay it thru Paypal or direct Credit Card?

$195. I sent them an email but the auto response says they are backlogged and may take some time to respond. For returns the website states 7 days from delivery so I can’t afford to really wait. I opened a dispute with PayPal in the mean time. Incidentally they have the same item for $400 with a 4 star description. I can’t even imagine what that one would look like.

I see. Here's to hoping that everything should work out ok. Good luck.

On a happier note, I finally got my hands on an unopened TV Max! Talking about a payoff after months of searching literally everyday..You’d have missed it if you blinked, as popular valks get sold out real quick on Mandarake.:yahoo:

I finally got one of these. It’s the Roci from the TV show and books The Expanse. This was a Kickstarter thing (that I missed out on). It’s 21” long, so it’s a pretty big girl.  Since they were released a few months back they have been going for STUPID money on eBay. They get bid up past $1200 regularly.  I have alerts set up and about a week ago this one was listed for $700 Canadian buy it now. I guess they didn’t do any research on how much they go for. I snapped it right up!

I’m pretty happy with it. The landing gear isn’t show accurate (it fits flusher) but I think I can do a quick little mod and they will fit flush like they’re supposed to. I’m not a fan of colored stands but for now it’s going to hang out on that one. I’m not sure if I trust even two Flightpose stands.

Anyoo, pretty happy with it. And if I ever do want to sell it, I’ll probably make money.

If you haven’t watched The Expanse on Amazon and you like Sci Fi, WATCH IT!

Expanse is fantastic, but I wouldnt say their ship designs are very interesting. Functional and realisitc, but not exciting.

 

Finally got this, thought I would bite the bullet in an attempt to finish off vermillion sqaudron once Ben Dixon/Kakizaki is released. Definitely spent too much on it, but meh I aint buying multiples so i guess its ok.
