It is an official.... I am an idiot.

I was able to successfully resist the 15% off everything eBay coupon. YAY!

The next day, I spent $400 on two valkyries on eBay using the "Buy It Now" feature, without using any coupon.

Now I am kicking myself for not having just bought these items the day before with the coupon. *sigh*

Like I said.... I am an idiot. With no willpower.... and maybe some self-destructive tendencies?

Anyways, I have a Yamato 1/60 VF-19S and a Yamato 1/60 VF-1A Kakizaki on the way.

Yes, I am an idiot.

But you are OUR idiot, and we love you.

Well, I did say I am an idiot. Now people agree with me.

:lol:

Hahaha! Well, I think we all are, right? We buy this stuff out of impulse. Scared of not getting it. Not thinking properly. And to satisfy our urge for getting it. We're not idiots. We're just plain addicts. :lol:

Or depending on the preferred mode, plane addicts. :p

Speaking of, used the coupon to grab a Corgi Heinkel He 111 model I’d had my eye on forever. I’m a plane fool.

It doesn't look the greatest but Cab is a legend and it's like a Tech Deck with a figure built into it. Seems like a fun toy for my kids and worth the buck to me.

By all means go for it. Just comparing the mold for the Porsche vs Cab, it's no contest which one is more well proportioned and accurate.

1/48 Hobby Boss F-105G Thunderchief myself, and a 1/48 Trumpeter F-100D Super Saber with last month's 20% off coupon... slowly whittling down my retirement stash of model kits whenever the opportunity presents itself. ^_^

It's been a busy couple of months, but most of my stuff is still sitting in my HLJ warehouse for delivery.  I did pick up a 1/72 HobbyMaster Vigilante though.  Do metal aircraft count as toys?  Eh, works for me.  With no parts to fall off, and only the nose probe to watch out for, this one's pretty swooshable. :lol:

Gorgeous plane, and they did a wonderful job with it, it's such a slick design.  Also, I have no idea how this thing ever fit on a carrier, it makes the F-14 look compact by comparison.

Also been having fun putting together the Bandai B-Wing kit, but that'll take a while before it's anywhere close to done.

Got a surprise shipment from NY, since I had selected SAL shipping for the order.

You know how NY adds a big surcharge for EMS? Apparently even though they charged me less for SAL, EMS was the cheaper option for them, so they shipped EMS.

On the plus side, that means my balls showed up about 3 weeks earlier than expected.

Yeah they’re cool.  Now I can have a 1/100 VF-17S, VF-17D, and VF-17T.  I might track down one more VF-17S to make Milia’s.

Well, they're still available on NY... But the price shot up to ¥5,800 each.

Gentei Kits has em for ¥4536.

Then there's always the option of stalking Mandarake/Jungle.

The Vigi’s a great model, maybe the best yet made of that type. They got it to fit by not just having folding wings, but also a folding radome and fin. Don’t forget to glue on that fuel-dump looking part on the tail cone.

Finally I got my hands of a Draken III and VT 1 Ostrich, yes is lighter than the VF 31's but definitely has it heft in it, I removed those protective stickers very slow in the wings cause of the warnings that I saw in some videos that it might removed the markings, not sure what kind adherent Bandai put in those stickers cause it definitely left some marks on the wings but fortunately not too visible.

Seems like the Siegfrieds get more love (and have more variants in DX form) than compaired to the Drakens (with one in DX form with a possibility of two more if and when Bandai choose to do so). 

Still going to get a Draken regardless.
