I've never had much interest in the X-Wing tabletop game, but the little ships are top notch for the most part.  I've been meaning to pick up the Falcon and Shuttle for a while, but I've had the Tantive IV set for a while, and it's probably the best mass-produced representation that ship has ever gotten.

Far as what I've been picking up, I'm worried I'm about to fall down the third-party transformers rabbit hole.. my two newest acquisitions.. and yes, that's the DX VF-31J. :lol:

Oversize KO MP3? Looks good!

Im looking forward to see if Maktoys Seeker is worth getting. So far, I haven't seen a Seeker design worth buying but hoping that is it. Bot mode looks good but the flaps under the thrusters in jet mode are killing me.

Yep, it's the Robot Heroes CG-02.  I might have to get myself a Thundercracker in the near future too, but these are a little too big to collect them all.  It's a revised MP-11 mold, but with the bigger legs sadly.  My ideal mold would rework the original MP-03 to use the newer fold out heels, but keep the slimmer legs, and fold the tails and stabs up into a backpack like some of the much smaller seeker molds do.

Honestly, seeing what people are doing with transformers is making me seriously consider getting into designing my own. I know I could work some magic on a custom seeker mold, and I spent half of the afternoon today brainstorming how to make an MP-level Dreadwing combiner out of an F-16 and Tornado. :lol:

Do it if you have the skills! Like I said, I'm not happy with any seeker I've seen yet and haven't bought any because of it...Won't even pay for the KOs. Maketoys seems to have done an incredible job on their bot but just like their Jazz, they have some strange kibble in alt mode that ruins it.

Got my HLJ loot, Spartan included like everyone else :lol: Im super pumped about Figma TP Link and the Myth Cloth EX Saga Saga Premium Set  :wub:

 

No Figma Zelda? She's really nice too, I got her and DX Link Saturday, Figma really has come a long way since the old Skyward Sword Link figure. Night and day difference really, sculpt, articulation, everything is better.

i think only 60-80 of the tan color super packs exist in the world:huh:

Hmmm. So it's safe to assume that I can buy 2-3 Valks for the price of an unpainted Unicorn, right? :rolleyes:

Thanks David. ;)

VERY happy right now, came home to this absolute holy grail, the Chogokin GX-72 Megazord! Once again, I waited for the US Bluefin release, I really wanted my US packaging like with Voltron.

Recently picked up a variety of TF:MP KOs. Despite having to do little fixes here and there on the majority of them, I'm pretty happy. Certainly helps that I paid either half or under half for all of them. Still debating on if I want to continue fixing Soundwave though, since they missed a gold paint application on his left knee.

If you like the regular release you should try to find the SKL Final Count ver. It is an excellent figure. The SRC line is really good and I love all the figures I have from the line.

 I did some research on the Mazinkaizer SRC line, and I got this one cause it was a bit cheaper and also is the Color version, those images doesn't do justice at all in how impressive the figure looks, and yes I will try to get the SKL Final Count ver. cause after knowing the insane high quality of the figure  I know is worth every penny :D

Finally bit the bullet and bought this. Double points for being my first ever anime character statue. Now just waiting on shipping charges.

Same here! I bought it a few months ago but it's my first anime statue (I think) and probably my last. it's nice but I figure I'd rather have action figures with unlimited poses.

I can appreciate that perspective. Having built many a Gundam kit over the years and experienced the highs and lows of greater and greater articulation at the expense of "accuracy" to the source material, I've come to appreciate a model that just sits there and looks good. Hopefully this one does.

Yeah, it's nice and looks good for sure! Part of my regret was I waited until well after it was released to get it and didn't want to pay much for it. I got it on sale for slightly less but then about a week later, it went on deeper clearance for a lot less than I got it for so just annoying that I should have waited a bit longer. The figure itself doesn't disappoint in doing what it's meant to do...look good in the one pose so you should be happy.

Jealous on both counts esp the first photo. :rolleyes: Looking right at you David and Anubis. B))

 

Jealousy aside, got these today. One for Hayate. One for Messer. And one for Hayate ep26. Or if that one doesn't get made, I have one for just in case. ^_^

Are there not going to be separate-colored packs for each VF?

Yes. But as I said before and probably most of us here pointed out that the blue Hayate's Super Parts looks great too with Messer's Valk. ;) 

And don't worry, I have an extra Messer's Valk to use with his color coordinated Super Parts. ^_^

Yeah, I love building model kits but just don't have the time to put into them anymore. I have a closet full of Bandai Star Wars figures I still need to build.
