Today's HLJ shipment.

Couldn't say no to the discount on Mirage, and I'm loving the Kyuranger mecha so far. I've got the second cockpit set en route from CS Toys, it didn't really seem like HLJ got many to begin with, the listing went to discontinued right after release.

Got the 1J Bundle in a trade and the Low Vis from @davidwhangchoi took a lot of convincing to get him to sell me a copy :lol: with this i now have a complete DYRL VF-1 collection.

:good:great buys! congrats! Hikaru's VF-1J with supers looks great and Roy's low vis 1S is probably the best 1S in my opinion and a must have in any collection!

I've paid a lot for my VF-1S Low Viz to complete my VF-1 v.2 1/60 Yamato Collection but in my opinion worth every penny! Congrats! :good:

I had the opportunity to get a low-viz VF-1S back in the day for retail price and I passed on it. It didn't look nice to me. IMO, the paint scheme made it look like it was a bad photo of a VF-1S taken at night. Years later and knowing the value it goes for now, I still do not regret passing on it one bit. I still find it ugly.

But hey that's just me. All the best to those who really like that paint scheme.

my last lot of recent (non Macross) purchases have been of the scale model car variety..

Firstly was a Fronti-Art 1:18 Koenigsegg Regera, the fully opening version! This was BIG bucks ($790 USD) but seeing how I love the real car I had to have this model! It is stunning!

Next was a Kyosho 1:18 e93 BMW M3 cabriolet. This has a wonderfully accurate functional folding hard top roof just like the real car. Got this for a bargain locally. Ungraded the brake calipers to the big brakes from a e92 coupe.. looks heaps better! 

Then I found a AUTOart 1:18 Aston Martin Vantage V12. Another gem of a model. Very nicely detailed.

And lastly (found it today actually) is a AUTOart 1:18 Nissan S30 Fairlady Coupe - Wangan Midnight - The Devil Z.. watched the anime which was only quite average but I fell in love with the car and found one in Japan for quite cheap!

Macross has definitely taken a back seat for a little while..

Very nice.

Cool.  I've got 8 of the Chain Base A's in my PW right now.

I just setup a 2 x 4 section and they are AWESOME!!!

I originally ordered 10 and after setting up a corner section I immediately ordered 11 more lol 

Once you get started with these you will want to build a 1/1 base with them hahaha :lol:

another non Macross purchase.. found this AUTOart Lambo Police car cheap on YJA! There was 6 hours to go with no bids yet so I placed a bid and hoped for the best. Woke up this morning to an email notification saying I won the action! cheer'n! :D And for less than half the price of the cheapest one I could find on ebay! :good:

LOL! I think so! :p:lol:

At my local toy shop, there are many autoart cars, but they rarely exceed the 200€ mark. Is there "limited edition" ones that cost much more? Or just they just double in price on release like bandais' Valls?

Congrats Spanner! :good: Just shows that Japanese is not into collecting cars. YJA now is a place for Spanner to buy AUTOart cars. ;)

You can still find good priced cars but it can be difficult at times. And sadly there are also many are now double or more their original release price.. some which I had previously but sold off and now want back again..
