arbit Posted July 6, 2016 Share Posted July 6, 2016 I'm sure you guys probably already know this, but FiginStock will email notifications when an item goes back up for preorder. Sometimes it's more frustrating when those notices come in the middle of the night and sell out before you get up, but it's helped me a lot. They don't cover every site but Amiami, Big In Japan, CDJapan, HLJ, Hobby Search, and Play Asia are supported for notifications for new items and AmiAmi and Mandarake for used stuff. Is this different than adding the "Watch List" to be alerted when something is in stock, which some of these sites already have, such as Ami Ami?

no3Ljm Posted July 6, 2016 Share Posted July 6, 2016 Probably the same concept. Would it be weird if those FigInStock 'F5 hitters' will do the same thing as register their email to get notify if there's update on the items and then when it's available, they will email you the link they received from the stores? Hehehe. j/k But kidding aside, I guess this is helpful on existing or released items. Just make sure you check your email everytime. Because there's no point on doing this if you don't check your emails regularly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thessair Posted July 6, 2016 Share Posted July 6, 2016 Is this different than adding the "Watch List" to be alerted when something is in stock, which some of these sites already have, such as Ami Ami? Personally, I've found it to be more reliable. I always get updates faster through FiginStock. I don't even always get notifications direct from AmiAmi. Plus there's the convenience of being able to set up one reminder rather than having to hit a bunch of sites. It's helped me keep up with Figuarts after I sleep through a preorder.

sh9000 Posted July 7, 2016 Share Posted July 7, 2016 Since the CF VF-1A will come with an extra head, I plan on painting the DYRL style head grey so that I can interchange between VF-1S Strike Hikaru and VF-1A Super Hikaru. I plan on doing the same for Max once I get around to making my custom VF-1S Max. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A little off topic but the tomy gimix had an incredible deck with better launch arms with wires and light up effects and maybe elevator and doors.

arbit Posted July 9, 2016 Share Posted July 9, 2016 (edited) I admit it. I will mix the scales in my diorama. Sacrilege. I know.

Big s Posted July 9, 2016 Share Posted July 9, 2016 If they don't resize the pilots on the tv Valkyries those buildings may not look too bad, but would still be small looking for the type of diorama you want to do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yellowlightman Posted July 9, 2016 Share Posted July 9, 2016 Someone linked these earlier in the thread, but the Sankei 1/80 scale papercraft models should be pretty close to perfect for HMR dioramas: http://www.1999.co.jp/eng/search?typ1_c=104&cat=rail&sold=0&state=0&sortid=0&target=maker&searchkey=Sankei&spage=1&Scale=1%2f80 Depending on size, you could probably also use HO-scale train buildings (1/87) or 20mm tabletop game terrain (1/72).
