Got a few more things in from HLJ, NY, and BBTS. I should have got at least two Tyrant Labors, they are REALLY neat figures. Qui-Gon is great, standard Jedi robe Figuart stuff, but with a Liam Neeson face. Two more Figuarts Hall of Armor sets, making 5 total, six when BBTS gets in my MK II and Hall set. I FINALLY got my hands on a Masterpiece Huffer, BadCube delivers once again with another fantastic MP mini-bot, these things are top notch, Takara will have to do something special to make me even consider their versions a decade from now when they get to them... Roy/Arsenal to go with Ollie, beautiful release, his bow is easier to draw then the one that came with Green Arrow, which is nice. Hannibal is what I've been waiting on, I love Silence of the Lambs as much as the next guy, Anthony Hopkins was my first exposure to Hannibal and Red Dragon as well, but the Mads Mikkelsen TV series went above and beyond in my opinion, it was brilliant, and far too good for how it was treated.

Nice pickup! Would grab one but have to focus on macross lol

Yeah I know the feeling.. but it's now good for me that I don't really need or want anything else for my Macross collection other than the incoming Delta stuff which gives me some flexibility in my toy budget to add more model cars!

Congrats!  Where did you purchase from?  I have one on PO with AmiAmi but they keep pushing back the release....I am tempted to cancel it if I can get it somewhere else...

Thanks! I'm really happy with it! I always preferred the car from the first movie. I did have the Mad Max 2 car but it never satisfied me enough to keep it considering how much I wanted the original.

I bought it directly from the AUTOart website and the postage was super cheap and lightning fast! Arrived in less than 72 hours! I highly recommend any movie car lover to add it to their collection!

Hallmark's doing G1 TF ornaments now? He looks just like a miniature of the original! Does it actually transform?

It does look like it can transform

Soundwave is their 4th release so far.  The other 3 are Optimus Prime, Megatron, and Grimlock.  They are sculpted and put together to look like the G1 toys but they don't transform.  I still think they are cool and I hope they continue making them.

Got a 1/18 Elite KITT to go with 1/18 Elite KARR.  Now I can convert my regular 1/18 KITT into 1st appearance KARR.

Congrats on getting Isamu! Every collection should have one! 

I agree! Its taller than i expected and certainly is one of the iconic poses of plus! ^_^

awesome! I paid a fair bit more than that for mine if I recall correctly.. nice find!

Thanks spanner, it was a used item, so that probably contributed to it being priced cheaper.

Quite happy to see the fig and the included stand in a pristine condition tho..^_^

I got my Hot Ryu from eBay for almost double its selling price at SDCC. But that's okay, considering how much a ticket to the US and then to SDCC would have cost me. :-) Hot Ryu is a great figure, with IMHO better sculpting than the regular Ryu, especially the face/head. Something just seems off with the face of the regular Ryu, though I'm still a hardcore fan of the regular costume/design.

I also have Ken, and am waiting for Gouki/Akuma to be released later this month from Ami-ami. I agree that the Storm/Nauts SFV figures are great (quite a step up in quality from the Play Arts Kai SFIV Versions), though I'm worried about the soft rubber used on the figures. I hope they don't disintegrate over time...

Congratulations again on your purchases!

Yesterday's delivery.

VF-31C, love the color and the head sculpt. Having two of them is making me regret passing on the -31F, if only for completion of Delta Platoon.

2017 Captain Phasma, has an actual metallic finish, updated head sculpt, hardpoint to stow her rifle, a sidarm, and her new spear, both compacted and extended.

And Roid's 1/72 262 kit. Not gonna touch the itasha decals, but I love the gold/white combo.
