So I got a haul coming. A big haul. Like a super mega haul. I'm so damn excited I had to say something because there's no one to tell around here.

I'm pretty sure they were some of the inspiration for some of the enemies in Silent Hill.

Do tell...?

Yeti I'll pm you once I have my list finalized.

Holy crap what a score!!! Especially the J-GBP set! Did you let your Robocop figure go!? Was that the one you posted pics up of?

Yeah. I was down to 2 Hot toy's, and though the Robocop figure is awesome... I just don't see myself collecting anymore of them. I am just not an action figure guy when it comes down to it. I prefer transforming robos :D - I used a good bit of points for the robo so it was a good deal for me.

I traded it to a guy here for the VF-1J armor parts set.

It's the late edition with good shoulders. Unused decals.

It does appear that, much like Hobbysearch 1999, HLJ does occasionally get some loose stock(pre owned possibly) and resurrect a listing. HLJ does have a record of stocking some web exclusive items at a premium from Yamato and Volks in the past.

VF-22S being one of the worst Yamato moulds, they're selling it at below current market price.

Initially, the VF-22S went at a discount of 50%.

There are fail products in any line. The Bandai VF-171 is one of them and I am not sure what else to avoid.

I have the VF-1J Armored on pre-order but might cancel it if Hi-Metal R gets confirmed. However, I would still like to try out a Yamato VF-1 just to see how good they are as I have not owned one before.

dang that is cheap! :o doesn't specify if its used or new though.. -_- if only they had a Max at that price! :rolleyes: no matter I have one arriving shortly which is what matters! :D

Fwiw and ime, HLJ doesn't sell any "used" item.

They'll sell and specify when it's "B-Grade" scratched/dented/damaged box items, tho.

Ohhhh I'm getting excited. First order in a little while now, waiting on payment request from MANDARAKE for a VF-19 Kai Hi Metal and DX VF-25A Super Parts (gonna see bow they look bare bones, but most likely painting them in Alto's colors.)

Hey guy I just joined this awesome forum and got into Macross recently. Picked up a YF-19 from Arcadia and wow it's beautiful!

For my next purchase I'm thinking of picking up the VF-0D or the YF-30

I'm leaning towards the 0D

What do you guys think?

Definitely the 0D.

Much much prettier. And huge. And expensive.

The YF-30 looks like a dumbass next to it in the pics.

edit: here's a pic from CDX:

Haha I'll definitely look at it that way now. I've read that the DX Chogokin line suffers from loose joints as well. Has anyone had any problems with there YF-30 getting loose?

I second that! Just started collecting myself and having received my 0D recently, it is one fantastic bird. If you can afford to, definitely pick one up.

To be fair, just about any toy will get loose over time if you play around with them and transform them enough. That said, my 30 has been pretty good... altho not as good as the 0D. The 0D is almost at the point of being too tight. :p
