Now sold out so it wasn’t meant to be. It’s all good though. Yeah, I think you will get other chances at it. I'll let you know if I end up ordering another. 14 minutes ago, borgified said: Din A'Jarden's Helmet was not announced @Slave IV. It was just a posting of a cos-play version that was posted on Pinterest/Instagram and maybe Reddit. The Concept version (proto-Fett) has been shown, however is the pre-order for that one been announced at all (don't seem to recall anything on that version)? Din wasn't announced but it was teased with a rumor I guess: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
borgified Posted May 15, 2020 Share Posted May 15, 2020 That's the one @Vertex. I must have skipped over that announcement. I might order the ESB Fett helmet sometime soon. I've got two things to be dropped at my house this month and another one in June. Time to make a Boba Fett Shrine as well! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slave IV Posted May 16, 2020 Share Posted May 16, 2020 Also got these At first I though the Disney one was bigger but they look very close to the same size. Almost like they share the same mold. But the Disney one has better paint apps and weighs about 3 times more and cost less. Disney wins! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iguanaman8989 Posted May 17, 2020 Share Posted May 17, 2020 Some recent acquisitions: A new year, new sentai mech to collect. At just about 2 feet long, the SSD hardly counts as a mini, even in game it’s designed more to be like a boss battle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DYRL VF-1S Posted May 17, 2020 Share Posted May 17, 2020 Bad lighting but I think you know who these two are. Took me awhile to set up but dayum these are great!

derex3592 Posted May 17, 2020 Share Posted May 17, 2020 (edited) Great setup! I absolutely love the SOC Voltrons! I just picked up my 1st BUT NOT LAST New Age (Thundercracker) Transformer. OMG!!! This company knows that they are doing! These little guys are amazing!!! Very high quality and crazy good transformation and G1 look and great articulation for their size!

I think I have them all in either original or reissue now except VT-1 and VE-1. I haven’t done the GBP yet though. And I don’t have Roy with fast packs. I don’t plan on doubling down on OG vs Reissue. Where I can get the reissue, I’ve just gone that route because I think they’re better.

tekering Posted May 19, 2020 Share Posted May 19, 2020 So, Jungle sent me a 1:48 Yamato Valkyrie a couple weeks back. The toy is in great shape, but upon removing it from the tray... ...I noticed a bunch of dead bugs under it. And under the tray as well. Be aware, there may be bugs in the Jungle.

Hopefully someone will make one. I'm making one right now... I've decided to go with a Rebel Alliance color scheme for it, but I liked the look of the flat matte base coat so much I photographed it before the primary color gets applied. Shadow Thunderfighter!

sh9000 Posted May 19, 2020 Share Posted May 19, 2020 @Slave IV and @derex3592 Would you say those New Age Transformers are kind of like HMR toys in terms of posability and fun toys to play with?

Lots of Marvel Legends figures coming in by the end of this week. Yeah, they most closely remind me of HMR and I even mentioned the similarities (I think here). They are even smaller than HMR though but I would say they might even be a step up in terms of transformation and posability. Other than some accessories, they are perfect transformation and the articulation is comparable to modern MP level...as in, ab swivel and crunch, ankle swivels, double joints, etc. I will go so far as to say the two NewAge molds I got (Seeker and Jazz) are the best new line of transforming toys I've experienced in years. MOST highly recommended! I'm on the verge of ordering the whole Conehead set just for Thrust because Thrust is the only one I want but they only come in a pack (Anyone want to go in or buy the other two from me at cost?).

derex3592 Posted May 19, 2020 Share Posted May 19, 2020 (edited) I would do MANY shady and possibly illegal in 48 states things for that Buck Roger Star Fighter @tekering!!! SUPER jealous over here! It's possibly my all time favorite space fighter design!!! Please post pics when you get it finished! @sh9000 - As @Slave IV said, these New Age guys are just the business! I WANT to buy ALL the Seekers, Megatron and pre-order the 3 G1 "Reflector" Triplets, however the wife me thinks would have issues with that at the current time! My question is --- WHERE is their Soundwave and Optimus Prime??? Surely they have those on the drawing board!!!??? BT Dubs---in case you guys missed it, buy enough seekers and the bases combine in a circle standing on their ends to make THE SPACE BRIDGE!!!

Their Soundwave is in the preorder stage so it should be on the way. Not sure about their Prime yet. I'm probably going to get Soundwave and really waiting for Galvatron. @tekering That Star Fighter looks really nice! I'm sure it will be even better when you finish it. Look forward to seeing it!

twich Posted May 20, 2020 Share Posted May 20, 2020 So, this will be the third Macross Jet ordered this year, the first two were, well, scams.....1st was a Valkyrie factory 1/60 VF-1J Max with Super parts, that was scam..2nd was a Hi Metal R VF-4G Roy, that the third party seller on Amazon has not arrived yet after almost 2 months, still fighting Amazon for a refund, so I recently discovered Mandarake. I ordered a used YF-29 30th anniversary scheme, the pictures show that some of it is faded, yellowed, but that doesn’t bother me. Here is to hoping that I have no problems with this order. Third time is the charm? Twich Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sanity is Optional Posted May 20, 2020 Share Posted May 20, 2020 I can vouch for Mandarake. So can the thousands of my $$ they've pried away over the years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
borgified Posted May 20, 2020 Share Posted May 20, 2020 You can count on Manda for anything that they have listed for sale @twich. You'll get your items, however did you choose DHL for shipping? You know that EMS and SAL are a no go as your in the States. That saying, did you read the thread: "Japan Post Suspension of International Mail" first before making the order?? http://www.macrossworld.com/mwf/topic/48060-japan-post-suspension-of-international-mail/ For your package a regular DX sized box (not like the DX YF-19 Full Set Sized version as it's very heavy) DHL - 7950 yen For those who are not on the "Suspended Mailing List" - EMS: 4500 yen with delays in shipping up to a month wait.

Lolicon Posted May 20, 2020 Share Posted May 20, 2020 So I put in a request to ship out my HLJ PW on Monday night... and it's already here! The shipment was mostly miscellaneous items like hobby supplies, but I did pick up a few model kits to work on if I need a change of pace from valkyrie detail. Some gunpla kits. The GP01 quickly became one of my favorites after seeing 0083, and finding out Kawamori himself was behind it was awesome. Added another Enterprise to my fleet. And since we're required to wear masks at all times while at work... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
