ChaoticYeti Posted July 9, 2015 Share Posted July 9, 2015 If anyone else gets the PAK Boba, be careful with the jetpack pack effects parts. I had a lot of resistance on one side so I stopped trying to push it in, and pulled it back out instead. A section of the peg remained in the jetpack. I contacted HLJ for a replacement, but I am not expecting much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ErikElvis Posted July 9, 2015 Share Posted July 9, 2015 Try contacting whoever makes them directly if hlj can't help. I did that with a figma guts as his cape broke and one of his arm joints within like 5 minutes of opening him and they sent me a new arm and a new cape. I was surprised.

I contacted HLJ for a replacement, but I am not expecting much. Jesus are you serious? I don't want to vent here, but this is too much of a coincidence, my Fett broke in the same spot as yours, plus his left arm is SUPER loose at the shoulder, his cape has bad paint apps all over it, his little head scouter thing on his helmet was broken off in the box, and two of his little belt pouch things are broken off. I already contacted HLJ, but I should have known, I stopped buying Play Arts a while ago, while their prices continue to sky rocket, their s*%# QC is still S%$@, I told myself to never buy another, and yet when the Fett was announced I told myself, just this last one. I'm pretty pissed, hopefully HLJ can help me out, this is rediculous, these licensed figures keep getting more and more expensive, at least his mold is solid, a lot of Play Arts look like garbage in my opinion, especially faces, but Fett looked phenomenal, and he does in person, but damn, step it up Squeenix, this terrible. I've had more breaks in thise line then any other line I've attempted to collect in my life, I'm SERIOSULY glad I didn't order a Vader, who knows what would have been wrong with him.

ChaoticYeti Posted July 9, 2015 Share Posted July 9, 2015 Well, no hard feelings but I am glad I am not the only one. Hopefully that means we are more likely to be helped. This is only my second PAK. The Raiden I have is flawless, and for the detail and articulation it is a pretty decent price. I am bummed the piece broke. These aren't cheap figures, but I am not swearing them off yet if they release another one I am interested in. The only issue with the overall mold I have is Fett's helmet. I would have liked it to flare out at the bottom instead of remain relatively straight. It looks a little off to me that the top of his helmet is wider than the bottom. Didn't notice it so much in pictures. Not a huge deal, just a nitpick. Fett looks Sick!! Keep us informed on the play arts adapters. The PAK adapters are good to go. Contemplating making an alternative for the scissor arms, but kind of pointless since they come with those already. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mickyg Posted July 9, 2015 Share Posted July 9, 2015 Just in from HLJ a few days ago. I've now got all the Hasegawa Mac+ Valks to build. Some day. When I'm old. And retired... The Bandai VF-19 Advance is everything I hoped it would be and a lot more though. Very happy I managed to snag a preorder months ago.

F360 Posted July 14, 2015 Share Posted July 14, 2015 (edited) some random stuff that was on Sale from CDJapan finally came in. - NXEDGE STYLE [KMF UNIT] Code Geass Lelouch of the Rebellion R2 GUREN Type-08 Elements "SEITEN" - Deformations Vol.2 Anubis Zone of the Enders Anubis - S.H.Figuarts Cardcaptor Sakura (Card Captor Sakura) Sakura Kinomoto (This ended up being a first release with all the extras) So why the pic with bubble-warps? CDJ always seem to package their shipments pretty well but I was kinda amaze that they bubble-wrap the SF figuart yellow cloth bandana too. Not bad for $50 shipped.

Roanstalker Posted July 14, 2015 Share Posted July 14, 2015 Been playing catch up with the Macross Frontier toys. Probably wont get any of the other skull squadrons since I cant really afford to get into the remold game. I'll probably get the VF-171EX and then move onto Arcadia stuff.

What are your thoughts on the NXEDGE? That was my first anime collectible item back in 2006! Still my favorite! I wanted this for a while, but couldn't pull the trigger because of the prices I was seeing. That was good because a friend was cleaning out his storage unit and this just so happened to be in there, so he sold it to me for a price i couldn't refuse. Now I deciding if I should take it out of the box. Been playing catch up with the Macross Frontier toys. Probably wont get any of the other skull squadrons since I cant really afford to get into the remold game. I'll probably get the VF-171EX and then move onto Arcadia stuff. That is one hell of a way to catch up! That Alto 29 + Super parts must have taken a big chunk out of your wallet.

no3Ljm Posted July 14, 2015 Share Posted July 14, 2015 Great purchases everyone! @Saburo, can I ask how big is that Kaneda bike in comparison with our beloved 1/60 VF-1's? And from what I understand the figure is just static, correct? Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, the figure of Kaneda is static. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I caught up, I bought all the VF-25s in one go. I suggest getting the VF-171EX Maruyama. It is currently priced below 19 000 yen.

I can get the Alto VF-171Ex with Armour for about the same through YAJ so i might go for that route later. Thanks for the suggestion though . But just wondering, I'vbe heard the VF-171 Nightmare Plus has parts breaking and such. Does the EXs have these problems or its limited to the Nightmare Plus? Thanks.

I'll get one of the EXs then. Is this the reason you opted for the older VB-6 release? Indeed. The Old VB-6 is the only one that has 'normal' decals. I have nothing against the characters.

Because Ozma's Armoured parts go for the same or maybe even more haha. For a while the Ozma Armored parts were less than the Alto Armored parts, because of the 25F reissue the the prices went up. Then the 25S got reissued, and that's when the Ozma Armored parts climbed back up. That is still a very impressive way to catch up.
