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:

 

Well, here in Mexico they ended up selling a cupon that gives you the rights to buy the exclusives figures in the day of the event, 2 USD but it saves you the pain of gettin to early to get one

And more on topic, finally got my switch, waiting for MK 8 te get here today to try it

Yea I saw that on D.A.M.'s most recent video. Its an interesting approach but im sure these events are much bigger than they are here in the US. Have they done this method of selling tickets for items before? Is getting a ticket like preordering a DX toy from Amiami? :lol:

Close as but not enough, I  got tickets for the first day to go with my friends and the next day with my girlfriend, along with one Goku and one Athena, the figures ran out around 15 minutes after the starting hour, 2 years ago it was chaos since they used the first come-first served and put a limit of 5 "Mexican" Goku for person some people began the line a day before in the afternoon

Yup, just buy it now. The Amazing Yamaguchi Marvel Comics Revoltech line is THE BEST line in 6" comic figures out right now! The attention to detail they put in everything from sculpt, paint, accessories, packaging, yeah everything, is second to none!

Yeah. PAK is getting expensive. A few more bucks and you can buy a good 1/6th Hot Toys figure. I only buy a few selected FF PAK figures. And mostly ones that rhymes with Cloud. Hahaha! :D For PAK, I have Dissidia Cloud, Dissidia Squall, FFXV Noctis, FFVIIAC Sephiroth & Cloud, FFVIIRemake Cloud. And I just realized that I bought guys who wears black. Too bad I missed getting FFVIIAC Tifa. :(

: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..

Nice pickups! So, you are now modding your model cars? :)

you take the parts off other cars you have?
