Build Fighters wants to take all of my money. So far I want everything they showed thus far and I am planning on going completistX2 on the packs

I bought one. And due to recently moved and haven't unpacked a lot yet, and then flooding in the basement, I've not got to play with it yet.

Sweet. Bad timing though, I just bought something from the Nakano store yesterday and already paid for it. >.<

I could try to get it added to my order, though it's probably too late. That's a good price too. Hmm.

Man that stinks, but everything is okay? I try to keep everything valuable elevated, but I live in a coastal area so flooding is par the course.

Yeah, everything's fine with us. We need to have the carpet pad replaced in the main basement room and my display room, but other than that, everything is cool. Some of our neighbors had some serious damage, but we got out just fine. The biggest problem at this point is that the carpet layers are so backed up we don't know when they will get to ours, so I've been without a display room for going on three weeks.

As for the effects set, it's not gotten rare yet, I can link you the search I use for it if you want, for the next time you do a Mandarake order.

In fact, I might as well.

It sounds like nothing major was damaged that's good. Ouch, there's nothing more annoying for us collectors than not being able to display anything. That stinks.

Awesome, thanks!

Does anyone know why these are so expensive?

I bought NG Kyrios last night at HobbyTownUSA. More than I wanted to pay for it, but I didn't feel like waiting to find it on Mandarake or for HLJ to get it in stock again, so it was worth the instant gratification.

torso parts and pieces

what you can't really see is the metallic green I painted on the chest big (GN condenser?) and the cockpit looking area. It's a bit of a dark metallic green, but it looks pretty good, I think.

I've always been tempted by the NG 1/100 scale 00 kits, seravee and virtue in particular.

TJ Duckett has picked them up lately and built most of them. He was quite pleased with them, that's why I would get the ones that have appeared in the show, so far as I have seen.

been messing around with my DX and Wing Zero today. Just a couple of random shots.





Double X is hitting it out of the ballpark. The proportions are solid, it has articulation in all the right spots, the deco is simple and crisp. The only real complaint I have is that the seams on the front of the lower leg armor is highly visible. I guess that's the price one pays for online purchasing, you can never guarantee what you're going to get QC wise. I need a MG of this suit ASAP.

The Wing Zero is pretty much par for the course with RD, however it did come with an alternate lower abdomen which is shorter. I've been using it instead of the one it came with. it helps with the proportions and let's it fit on the shelf with my 1/144 kits a little better.
