Seems pretty quiet around here lately. Finally found a Paris Pursuit Baroness and Air Viper at Cary TRU, still have the senior officer packs. Nothing else new though anywhere.

Not much to report besides I finally got the site back up earlier this week. Had a few sales from some regulars even though I hadn't announced anything. It's nice to know people keep an eye on my place even when there's only tumbleweeds rolling through.

There is a toy show in Raleigh a week from Saturday. I have no idea what the dealer turnout will be but hopefully, it will be better than the last two shows.

Ooohhh! This sounds interesting. You must shed some light on this little project.

As for casting, I don't know anything about it but I'll check with some people I know. If I find out anything, I pass it on.

It may not be anything you're interested in, but I recently bought a Bandai VF-25S Armored Messiah DX from the Macross Frontier series. While the design and concept of the Valkyrie is exceptional, Bandai's toy execution of it leaves a lot to be desired. Here's what I have in mind:



This is a piece designed to attach the gunpod to the underside of the unarmored fighter. Not only is it poorly designed and a really halfass way to pull the mounting off, the designers didn't take into account that once the armor IS attached to the fighter, the piece isn't long enough to attach the gunpod. It's so badly thought out that the instructions completely neglect to address attaching the gunpod at all. That's just not right for something this expensive.

What I'd like to do to solve this problem is to have this piece recast so that it could then be lengthened slightly (perhaps only .5"). Doing so would allow the piece to extend between the armor pieces and hang low enough to hold the gunpod where it is supposed to go. (It's really hard to explain this without having seen the VF-25S in its armored fighter mode.) The piece itself is nothing terribly complex, but I am quite afraid to attempt to modify it when I don't have any replacement for it. Recasting is the only answer at this point.

Has anyone seen the new City Strike Snake Eyes or Arctic Threat Storm Shadow?
I've seen the Kamakura, Charbroil, Red Fang, Addler, etc. wave on shelves at TRU, but not the new SE and SS.

I get emails on a daily basis from this company in Japan that I order import TransFormers. I've seen the Valkeries and other Macross stuff. Event the wholesale prices are high and I've never ordered any of it. However, if you're looking for any other Macross stuff, lmk. I may be able to get a good price for you.

Still checking on the casting info. It does suck that you pay such high prices for these items and the quality is on par with Hasbro sometimes.

Haven't seen any of these figures yet. I haven't bothered to order any either.

Well, for as much as I love Macross, I have to be VERY selective about what I buy (maybe 1-2 things per year) since it costs so much to import. The only reason I could afford the Armored Messiah was because I had an opportunity to make some extra money over the summer and so I preordered really early before the final price was announced.

Ha. This is much worse than Hasbro, if you ask me. If Hasbro does something like this, I'm only out a few dollars respectively. However, when Bandai does this on something which retails for over $100 equivalent in Japan, it's just inexcusable. Anyway, let me know if you find anything out. I'm certain that there would be a sizable market for other Armored Messiah owners who would want to fix this problem.

Hey, if anybody in Raleigh spots a $40 Clone Wars AT-TE at Ross, let me know. I might consider getting it at that price. I already checked Knightdale, and no dice. I'll look around some more tomorrow if I get time.
