Can't wait to receive mine today (DHL is out for delivery)! Looks really nice from your photo. Some reviewer have shown loose hip joint. Any problem with any joints in your copy?

My hips are not loose/not tight also. I have only posed it once.

I'd get the EVA-02 if I can find one for the PO price. Maybe a couple will pop up after they're released. I just picked up a second EVA-01 at about 4am this morning from BBTS for PO pricing. That was a nice surprise with my coffee.

I just did a Google search on the Metal Build EVA-02 and got this. I laughed. In a good way.:p

New toy opening day for me, it seems.

Finally opened up my MC Char's Zaku. Another fantastic toy, but holy crap my Pixel just could not handle the shade of red on this thing! The raw picture had a strong yellow-orange tint to it, and I had to do a lot of color tweaking in Photoshop to get even remotely acceptable shades of red. The real is an even deeper shade of red than what I have here.

Still, love this thing!

I hold out for months but at the end can't resist the price at AJ. This new interpretation might not be to everyone's liking but the quality is top notch.

One complaint about the EVA MB base: the base is a bit too slippery. It will be really nice if it is more rubbery. That will make it a lot easier for me to pose it with just a single feet on the base. I cheated by using the rail on the side.

I rarely buy TFs but $45 for Siege JetFire why not?

Did you feel dirty or unsatisfied with it? That’s the feeling I get with almost every Transformers figure I buy. Even MP. Yet I still keep buying them. It sucks that the HasLab Unicron made it because yep, I ended up buying one at the last minute just to not miss out.

Since it was one clearance 50% off retail, I don;t feel as so bad.  He's kinda fun to play with, and the effect parts i can use for photoshoots. :D

Nice! I've mostly avoided mainline TFs because everytime I give one a chance, I'm pretty disappointed with how lackluster they are. Getting them on discount definitely helps because then at least they seem more in line with the perceived value of what you paid for. That Skyfire does look pretty good though, especially with your eye and backdrops.

Ah, kids are overrated anyway.  They grow more and more resentful, more and more expensive, and then leave you altogether.  <_<

Your statues, however, will last forever.  :p

Props, dude.  :good:

Man, all the MB EVA! I've had the original release sitting in a box this whole time too. Just cannot get around to opening it but really need to. I love the original show by the way. But for some reason, I just hear bird noises whenever I think about it.

Hurrah!! I am not the only one who loves the EVA TV series!!

So.... is it bad that I am considering renting a temperature-controlled 10 foot x 15 foot storage unit for about $190/month, so that I can store my Macross toy collection and de-clutter my home?

*sigh*

Probably since it is something I have done. But I find as long as things are sealed and boxed up well, the whole temp thing doesn't make a difference to my collection at least. I've had stuff stored all over the country in different temps and see no difference in them.

Fun with toys! :lol:

Jetfire: "Jetfire is here and at the ready!"

Hikaru: "Max do you know this guy?"

Max: "I don't know..."

Isn't that version Skyfire or did they have to change the name again?

If you're truly that cluttered, might be time to downsize the collection.

Keep only your favorites and/or the ones with the most value.

$190/month adds up, and you'll be able to just re-buy things later with the money saved if you can avoid spending it.
