borgified Posted October 23, 2018 Share Posted October 23, 2018 (edited) Just seeing the Canada Post delivery van before I started work this late afternoon before my shift starts, I asked if the my packaged arrived and it did arrive (plus got to work on time). Got nabbed for $75.32 CND in customs. At least I have it before the Full Postal Strike happens across Canada and no busted head laser present even though the packing wasn't too great.

Chronocidal Posted October 23, 2018 Share Posted October 23, 2018 (edited) Looks like the back left one is indeed the old Chunky. Also, while that Tie wasn't due for another few days, it showed up on my doorstep today as I arrived with my 31A. I always forget how relatively huge the normal Tie Fighters are compared with the Interceptor.. So glad Bandai finally gave us some weapons to load up their 31s with.. I don't think I'm ever taking the 31A out of fighter mode with this loadout. Edited October 23, 2018 by Chronocidal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chronocidal Posted October 23, 2018 Share Posted October 23, 2018 Ehhh, not quite to scale, but close enough to look really good in a display together. Tie scales go all over the place though, and no two sources will ever agree on just how big they're supposed to be. The cockpit interior in the films was a lot roomier than these toys, but a bit smaller than the Bandai kits. Going by the Bandai kit, which is 5 inches tall, that should make the panels 20 inches high in 1/18, and this is a couple inches under that, so they're pretty close. My gut instinct is to call it around 1/24, since that's what a lot of the ANH film models were pinned down as, due to the pilot figures used. Now to find myself a Tie Bomber, and Advanced, and I'll have (at least) one of each of the OT fighters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Convectuoso Posted October 23, 2018 Share Posted October 23, 2018 19 hours ago, Shizuka the Cat said: You are correct, they are the fighter-only VF100 releases. I like fighter mode the best when it comes to valkyries, so I did not mind ordering these got my display. Yes, these VF100 toys came with the little Sheryl and Ranka stands. I am not using them though, since I felt that the display connector piece that came with the VF100 toys might not hold the valkyrie securely and risk the fighter falling off. I have 2 more VF100 toys on the way... Alto's armored VF-25 and the Family Mart release. At some point, I may also get the transformable Michael, Alto and Ozma VF-25 toys as well. Great. There's not much love for that line around here, but since I'm a 1/100 collector, I got them all too, except for the Family Mart version which I don't like at all.

That’s right, GBP is Takatoku and the -1J carrying it is the Bandai 2002 reissue. I was worried that the arm armour may not fit because of the shape difference in the Bandai arms, but they were fine.

So awesome you are into warbirds!! I fly R/C planes and exclusively use fighter planes. I've crashed many times, but most of the time repairable with foam CA glue. But so far I am down one P-51 and one Zero due to really really bad nosedives. My personal rules for flying: 1) 3 story rule - always fly 2 stories above the tallest obstruction 2) YOU WILL CRASH 3) always carry spares of everything.

MacrossMania Posted October 24, 2018 Share Posted October 24, 2018 (edited) Rant for the night: I was going to post a couple of photos under the pretend "hashtag" of "About to go Shizuka the Cat" and implore all you toy collectors out there not to go the way I did, spending all my hard earned cash on a bunch of recent releases and some not so recent but all the more hard to find vintage releases, that, truth be told, unless I got them now, I'd probably never, ever see again. Trust me, I've been there, and lived to regret every day since. And the long lesson learned here is that cash is more plentiful than toys, so you might as well snatch them up while you can and the cash is flowing, because you never know, even if you do get the chance to own one later on, they may be asking far more than you're willing to pay. But I digress from my intended rant as a digression from my originally intended post. So, here it is: got hit by the postman again. But being the picky MISB box collector that I am (yea that's right, I said "box collector"), even just one ding on the corner of a box instead of the pristine specimen I had been fantasizing in my mind ever since I got the notice in my inbox that my delivery had arrived on my doorstep, is enough to ruin my week. And of course, that's just what happened. At least I'll admit that Toy Dojo (anyone ever shopped there?) actually did do as I asked (at least somewhat), and bothered to keep the original shipping box in the box that was shipped to me, so that technically at least, it was "double boxed." Which is all to say that I am very disappointed. Yes, it was a very pricey Gundam Metal Build - Astraea Type F - and no, as is my usual OCD habit, I will not be posting pictures of it because I have sealed it up in its cardboard tomb never again to be molested by the unwanted sunlight unless I, and only I, decide the time is right to send it off to AFA for a see-through mausoleum case of its own. Somewhere in the back of my mind I tend to think that the will world of the world bends to my own, only out of the pure fantasy that somehow my superficial, shallow wants in life (i.e. toy collecting) actually have mass enough to bend the space-time continuum around it (in actuality it's probably the sheer mass of my own collecting habits collapsing in on itself and creating a vicious black hole that sucks everything in its path, even my life). Somewhere, I actually half believed when I opened up the toy tonight that the pension gods or the girlfriend gods or whatever other god I should be servicing right now, and not the toy gods, had grown angry at my avarice, and decided to rain down a fiery hell of retribution for my audacious move to go outside my usual collecting sphere of vintage G1 toys, and try to maintain some sort of semblance with the other modern toy lines that I clearly don't deserve, like Metal Build for instance. In my warped mind, I actually half believed that the winning streak of perfect deliveries I had achieved thus far with mainly vintage toy deliveries would soon be continued, only to be so disappointed, thus giving rise to the fantasy that it was retribution by the toy collecting gods who thought I had gone maybe a bridge too far. Then I realized this is just plastic and metal, and while beautiful, there's no interaction between me and its essence, and no one really cares whether or not I collect or what I collect, and it probably just had a rough journey over from a distant, far flung part of the country. And then I left it at that. Edited October 24, 2018 by MacrossMania needed it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interceptor is an Amazon exclusive, the standard fighter is from Wal-Mart.

The cel-shaded paint work may be screen-accurate, but the surface detailing certainly isn't... Is that supposed to be... rust? Or... moss? Acne scars? I'm sure it's intentional, but it looks entirely too much like a really amateur paint job... Like, the brush was dirty, and the paint was too thick, and it dried too quickly, and the painter mixed acrylics and enamels together...
