Quick question, wich was the method they used to sell the exclusives figures like Goku for example, did you have to get early and get on the line or something like that?

I ask because the Tour its coming to Mexico early june (going to it of course) and there is A LOT of rumor surrounding the method that will be used to buy the figures, also, do they happen to sell some regular stuff? Like more Mythys EX or Metal Build figures

The had a line just for the exclusives, no tickets or anything, just a line. They gave you a form to check off which one you wanted and how many but that was it. My advice is get there as early as you can. I got there by 8:40 (opened at 9) and there were already a good 200 people in line. I didnt get to the table until about 10:30 and Goku was sold out by 11:00. So if it opens at 9 as well then try to be there by 6:30-7. 

Yes the had a separate table for regular release stuff. No metal builds. Only figuarts, monsterarts, and sould of chogokin. No myth cloth since that isnt too big of a market in the US but im pretty sure in Mexico they will have all that stuff. One thing though is that their stuff at the regular booth was full price plus tax. So it wasnt a really good idea to buy stuff from them. SOC Voltron was $350 Plus tax and Megazord $325 plus tax :blink:

Replaced the Where's Waldo pilot with a proper Basara. :rolleyes:

Thanks guys! It's quickly becoming my favorite of the VF-19 series. That white with red trim is such a great paint scheme that we've never seen before. :rolleyes:

if you're going to weather the 19P, you need some red blood to be accurate to the anime^_^

i'm going to post my weathering hikaru for reference when i get  chance but that group pic is amazing.

The shoulder fins don't actually look bad in battroid, which actually, the 19P is the valk I find myself transforming most often, and leaving in battroid the longest.  It's just so pretty. ^_^

I still need to bite the bullet and repaint one in Focker colors, I picked up a third one just for that purpose. 

I did actually discover one interesting thing, there's enough room to hide the center laser under the shield, and I think it actually looks even better with just the two side lasers sticking out.  I do that with all my 19s though.

Took almost a month to get this buyee loot together but it has finally arrived ^_^ the Max 1A finally completes my 1A DYRL squad.

BTW is the tint like this on all the VT-1's? Depending on the angle light hits it I can barely see the figures in the cockpit

Great to see you finally got your Super Ostrich! Every collection needs one! 

The tinting is about the same on my VT-1 and VE-1 and my Hikaru 1J. I actually like the heavier rainbow tint. I think it looks great and you can still see the pilots clearly enough, unlike some other glittery tint... :rolleyes:

Wow very nice Iron Man... :good:

Thanks! I absolutely LOVE this figure. Even my wife saw me messing with it and was curious who made it because it is so noticeably better than most toys.

That iron man looks very happy too , the pose kinda makes it look like spiderman.  

Those re edits are all awesome.

Haha yeah, having fun with it since it is so articulated. Re:Edits are the only Iron Man figures I like so far and I like them a lot! Hope they keep it up and make some more classic style armors. A Neo Proto, Silver Centurian and Steath would make my day.

This figure is so good, it's nearly perfect. It just jumped up to being my favorite in the 6" range from any line (I know it's technically larger).

I really need to pick this guy up. I am hoping the next time HLJ has a sale the shape shifting armor will be included.

Yeah, most of them have gone on sale at some point but some, including this one has sold out several times on HLJs site so hopefully you are able to snag one. You really NEED it! ;)

Oh boy, new little haul of stuff, two hauls actually, one HLJ and one NY. Gotta say though, you know you're probably spending too much when you are only expecting one package when you get home, only to find two, and you have zero idea what is in the second or where it is even from. Oh well, the Figuarts Halls are really nice, as is Meta Knight, recommend for any Smash, Kirby, or Nintendo display.20170503_181554.thumb.jpg.34c20b2206b3202ce90925f4081689fd.jpg

Not the biggest Mega Man fan, but I'm in for every Sentinel Mega Man figure! These things are nice! Chewy is great too, looks good next to Han, some are saying he's short, I think he's pretty good, Figuarts Vader was short.
