Scratch that tomorrow thing! :p

I like the V.2 1/60, but I still love the 1/48's! The 1/60 hands literally just plug right in, for mine they are nice and snug. For the hand that grips the Gunpod you will need an X-acto knife to remove the inside of the hand that creates a firm grip on the 1/60 gun. Once you make extra space (which takes about 50 seconds to do) the 1/48 rifle fits nice & firm.

Makes the 1/48 look so much better in Battroid & Gerwalk. B))

That looks awesome! Thanks for the pics, 505thAirborne!

I have a few sets of DyNo's 1/48 DYRL hands, but was looking for another viable option. I just might have to rob one of my 1/60 for a set of fixed pose hands :p

Got my first ever 1/6 Hot Toys figure in yesterday. Mr. Vader himself. Pre ordered EXACLTY one year ago today...it's been a long time coming... and it was worth it!!! The Lightsaber lights up with LED along with the belt pack lights and he has sound inside along with a remote control. The sound is really good. Great catch phrases. Putting all the batts in was a royal pain. It has a total of like 15 tiny watch batteries you have to install. The MOST annoying thing however is the switch to activate the "talking mode" is under neath ALL the garments on the lower back of the figure and shuts off after 15 minutes of no activity and HAS TO BE FLIPPED ON/OFF before he will talk again. ARE YOU FREAKING KIDDING ME??? More info later. Sorry for the sideways pics.

I guess I haven't posted any of my recent goodies, probably won't be able to mess with anything until later this weekend though, sorry about the picture quality, I took these with a potato. This is a Private Warehouse from HLJ, a Pile of Loot from BBTS, an order from Toywiz for the Lego Ideas sets, and while I was out Xmas shopping about three weeks ago I grabbed the Lego Star Destroyer.

I should have gotten the Lego Ideas sets long ago, I was in Back to the Future fever at the time I ordered the Dalorean and Ecto-1, and I probably paid more then I should have for Doc and Marty, but that's what I get for sitting on them and not buying for over a year. I like my Hi-Metal of course, and I managed to snag a Zoids Berserk Fuhrer for just $55 from HLJ, now I can build him up and put him next to the late season Blitz Team. I'm baffled at how many MP Transformers I have now, I told myself to just get ironhide when he drops, and I do indeed have him on pre-order, but since then I've bought 9 MP cars and Optimus, it is definitely a slippery slope folks.

Be warn! Once you get one, others might follow like any other collectibles.

You're more than welcomed! I have some 1/48 hands that I want to say I bought from EXO a few years ago which are great, yet just by dumb luck I grabbed the 1/60 and was impressed how well they fit and looked on the 48's. B))

VF-0S or Lego Ghostbusters firehouse? Decisions ughh

I'd definitely say Firehouse, I'm picking mine up while I'm on lunch Monday, and from the reviews I've seen, the set is incredible. I doubt you'll find the official instructions anytime soon, and even then, it's just too many pieces and it's too complex to be feasible, if you want this set, now is the time to get it.

Its a nice feeling when your wife/partner/girlfriend (or other) supports your hobby/passion like that! Even if its not an item of critical importance to you or your collection but when they buy it for you then it makes it all the more special! ^_^

Marvelous!! B))

[/align][align=left]Base on dedicated Marcross friend's advice, I must try the 1:48 version, when I bid the ultra pricey VF-11C on Yahoo JP, by chance I also took the 1:48 VF 1S with Super Parts at almost 40K yen...[/align]

Ah, I see. I'll admit, I've never played either of the two games. Or P4A, for that matter... But I try to keep up with the games because I enjoy the community. :D

Wow gundam, the 48s look great most days but you make them look fantastic.
