Yeah too much cool stuff.  Those were the only 2 that I wanted from that wave.  I saw the Hydra 2 pack online but I passed on it.  The only one that I want from the vintage wave is Wolverine and I already have it preordered.  I think that’s it so now I’m just waiting for the X-Men and Deadpool waves which I’ll happily buy as cases since I like all of the figures from them.

Nice! Unfortunately for me, I like almost everything ML has announced. Not sure how I'm going keep up. :D

Damn! Didn't know the Hydra 2 pack was available. It's OOS now. I'm sure it will come back soon.

My two new purchases:

37519613516_3db9b3a3db_k.jpg

Surpised by two things:

1) As my first GFFMC, I didn't realize that the box of the RX-0 Unicorn Gundam was so big! I'm happy that I got this sealed for a good price from Jungle!

2) Although the Cosmo Zero's box is almost as big as the Unicorn's, the actual toy itself is a lot smaller than I anticipated. Also, I can see that swapping the wings is inevitably going to cause scratches and paint chips due to how the slots for the wings are implemented. I'm not exactly sure that the size and gimmicks justifies the price, despite it being partly diecast.

I’ll let you know if I ever see the 2 pack online or in store.  It might have even been out of stock online when I saw the Marvel Legends listings because sometimes there’s an add to cart button but when you click on the item instead it says not available.  There’s a BOGO 40% off sale on Marvel toys right now so I ordered 2 random ML figures plus Blade and Jessica Jones to get both of them for 40% off.  I’ll just return the extra Blade, Jessica Jones, and 2 random ML figures.

I feel the $38 FedEx shipping from HLJ was a little high considering the size of the box. I got them in 4 days but $30 - $35 seems more reasonable.

The destroids are like shots, the more you have the better things get!

Nice effect.  How did you do it?

It's a filter in Photoshop. Just need to tweak it to your liking. If you have PS, I can go over the steps with you.

So... Has anyone had an order from AmiAmi seized by customs? My VF-31C has been sitting there for the past 4 days, and that bothers me.

I'm assuming you mean LAX customs?  They're just notoriously slow at times, and the postal service is getting worse and worse about updating tracking information.  I've had stuff appear stuck at LAX for a week before with no updates, and had it show up at my door with no tracking update at all.

Yea i couldnt pass up on the price. Never really been a fan of the SOC Baikanfu design. This might not be as anime accurate but it works with my tastes :)

Ok. I was actually referring to ISC at New York. Post office told me that it's in Customs, but the internet says different. It's been there since the 7th of October, and I was hoping that it would have been here sooner. I need my VF-31C... I need it...

Japan Post Air Small Packet, whatever that means... My Sv-262Hs and LillDraken got here yesterday, and I ordered them a couple days after my VF-31C...

Took a chance on another 3rd party Chinese accessory, this time for Figuarts Tony Stark.  It arrived yesterday and I have to say, I am completely thrilled with this piece.

Nice piece! @no3Ljm, I just searched for it on ebay and it seems to be around $40-$50.  Too much for me!

Thanks Slave IV. ;)

Cool to have one. But it also means that I need to collect those Hall of Armors too (which I don't want it in the first place coz it's expensive) if ever I'm going to get one of this just to complete the setup. Oh well... <_<

Nah just print out a background of them and put it behind the figure :p

Well, one thing you forgot to mention is to get some baby's shoe boxes too in which where I will mount those printed backgrounds, right? :p

Or build them out of lego?

I mostly have the ones from Figuarts so printing it with them on it is not going to be ok. Hehehe. :lol:

As for Lego, it will end up more expensive since I need to find the proper shape and color thru third party sellers. ;)

Cool.  I thought it was PS.

Speaking of Tony Stark, I got a 1/18 Audi R8 for $13.99 to go with my 1/18 Tony Stark since he drove one in one of the movies.  He can also drive the Lamborghini Centenario for an upgrade.  Also got some cool Hot Wheels.
