Build it! Build it now!  I hope they come out with a pre-finished model like they did with Galactica and the Mk2 Vipers.  I'd get one.

I might start this weekend! :D

At the rate it took Moebius to get this kit released I'm not to sure if they'll do the pre-painted versions (would be great if they did!) I will say the detail to the parts is everything you expect from these BSG kits!

I'm admittedly not the biggest X-Men fan, at all really, so I can say I definitely can't see or tell the difference, that Mezco looks Jim Lee enough to me! I saw Hasbro is working on a 12" "Jim Lee" Wolverine, it looks pretty good, I don't like the massive scale or proportions at all, is that the figure everyone is excited for? Came home to a package after spending five hours waiting to donate blood today, very dark day today in Vegas, gonna be working lighter hours and helping out at some places throughout the week. Shitty people suck.

No, I'm talking about the 6" scale version.

Also I seek to be the obly person who isn't terribly thrilled with Starlord or Rocket here.

Got my 2nd Mirage, some web exclusives, and the rest of my HLJ PW. :)

New Haul 10/02/2017

 

Nice haul. Even though I'm not too hot on any of those kits, those are some very nice box arts that look even better side by side. :D

How are you planning on building the SV-262? In a straight Roid scheme, or with the Deculture itasha?

Deculture itasha. Mikumo itasha is the only reason I went for this kit :wub:

What a coincidence, I just picked up my HLJ PW on the way home from work.

Sweet you got the Hi-Metal Xabungle! What do you think? 

Lol, that a lot HLJ packages to come in. So I wasn't the only one waiting for Milia to be release and ran out of days with the PW? I will make sure to add mine to the thread when it comes in later this.

I was waiting for the Hi-resolution wing zero, I imagine Kajinrig was doing the same.

 

Of course, my VF-31 artbook stocked the next day, and is now making it's way to me alone in a SAL package...

I haven't messed with Xabungle yet but just taking it out the box and standing it there for a quick photo, it was impressive. The HMR line is amazing...the quality, thought and detail put into all the releases is excellent and I almost feel like the two non-Macross releases so far are the best in the line.

Seems everyone started their PW stashing around the same time lol. I'm waiting 'til the end of the month for the VE-1/VT-1 reissues, and then I'll (finally!!!) be able to get my hands on my my VF-31As. I'm grabbing a whole bunch of old Gundam HGUCs/Wing-era HGs to maybe do a little video retrospective with, too, but that's not gonna be part of my HLJ package.

I think you're thinking of @anubis20. I'm not interested in the Hi-Res Wing Zero. (That being said, nice haul to you, too. I had to do a double take since you had almost the exact same things they did. :D)

Thanks! About $330 shipped.

Thanks...Not bad but I'm glad it was still out of my range of willing to pay for it. It's such a sweet piece though.

Just got my Revoltech Wolverine.  Totally bad-ass.  I can't wait for Magneto and Cap.

I used to have the first gen Revoltech figures from Eva's to Getter's. I stopped buying Revoltech after those non-transforming VF-1's. So I'm not familiar with their releases nowadays. How is it compared to the old ones?

The Amazing Yamaguchi line is the best line of comic style figures ever! So much thought and care is put into everything from sculpt, accessories, to even the packaging is done to the level where they are making the definitive version of each character they make. They still have Revo joints but done really well to give you the most poseable and best looking figure on the market.

Thanks Slave IV for the fast reply. :) 

But how's the material nowadays? The only gripe I have with those first gen figures is the PVC material. Esp in hot countries, it tends to give that gooey sticky feeling when playing with it.

They feel good to me. I'm in SoCal and it gets hot here but I know it gets hotter and mainly more humid elsewhere so I don't know what they would be like there. I recently read up on sticky toys and found it can be caused by plasticizer evaporating and if your figure is sealed, it has nowhere to go so it coats the toy and gives it that feel. This particular line has only been out a short time so we'll all have to see the long term effects. All I know is I'm all in so far and it's the most satisfying line of toys I collect. Probably edges out even HMR and the other Macross lines by a bit.

I  brought all my Revoltech figures here actually from the Philippines and now they're somehow safe since the weather here is not as hot and humid back there. But so you know they're in great shape. There's no deformation or such. It's just that feeling when I used to play with it back there. Though now I'm planning on letting them go as a loose set via eBay. I just need to sort them out since I don't have any more space for everything. Hehehe. ^_^
