When the stack gets too big, you buy some shelving. When the shelving gets full, you buy some storage tubs. When you run out of tub room, you get a storage unit. When the storage unit is full, you realize maybe it's time to sell off the backlog. Then when you're almost done, your spouse gets into Gundam. And this time you start a spreadsheet to keep track of the cycle. Then P-Bandai opens in your region.

Huh, I didn't know people anyone even painted with baby oil.

Yeah, that one completely didn't register with me lol. I was referring to Grandpa. Zero idea wtf Bandai is thinking with the Nu.

Your comment made be go find the receipt lol. Turns out my memory was playing tricks on me, was closer to $170 (sale price plus coupon). I have edited my unintentional exaggeration, but yeah, I was (relatively) happy with the price.

Anyone here also into Masterpiece Transformers? Yeahhhhhhhhh... now that shit is crazy expensive. Gunpla is a steal IMO.

Yeah, but they might have Mad Mad Bunny disease. You don't want none of them prions, dawg.

Wait, I thought their job was to revoke approval for safe drugs that the snowflakes don't like?

It’s floating around $250-300 USD.

I grabbed it for my spouse on sale ~~at like $100~~ for just under $200. I think it was the tail end of the original print. For that money you can get a PGU.

Stuff goes in and out of print all the time. Once stock starts to run low, reseller prices go up. When there's a reprint, prices come back down. And as the other use mentioned, Bandai also announced some price hikes. If all of the big retailers have something at the same price, my guess is that it's the latter. If the big retailers have spotty stock, it's probably the former.

Resource hidden where we can't see it? Best to assume it's infinite and there will be no repercussions.

Last night was bad (far east side of toronto... like Durham Region). It was over 180 and not only could I smell the smoke from inside the house, but my eyes were burning, too.

Having flashbacks to the fires from a couple of years ago. We were nowhere near (these were the Quebec fires IIRC) but outdoor AQI was bad for weeks, regularly topping 300 and peaking at 4-500. Had everything closed up, AC and multiple HEPA purifiers running, and it was still awful indoors.

This is going to require more dramatic response

My overactive imagination has been feeding me images of the parade lines of tanks rotating the barrel to the grandstand as they pass and doing a little dip as a salute of sorts. And then, in the last row, bam, live round. Instant hero.

I know it's not going to happen, but a guy can dream, right?

And the modifier even saves through breaking/recharging. There are hoops to jump through, but IMO this seems much more practical than some of the other 1.2.1 glitches.

Heavy spoilers for Gundam X, plus a long-ish in-video ad for some licensed Gundam Seed gear. I wasn't expecting too much out of this but Kakarot's humor carried it for me. RIP Unit 3.

 

Bandai wants our money for Christmas, I guess.

HG Juaggu (MSV ver)
HG Byarlant Custom (Bande Dessinee ver)
HG Todesritter
HG Zaku II High Mobility Surface Type (Sangho)
HG Zaku II High Mobility Surface Type (Danan)

This is a quality freakin drop. Damn.

 
 

There's a metric crapton of clothes listed, but every time I try to filter on just model kits I get a page not found error. -_-

 
 
 
 

PB snuck another drop in last night, handful of Build Fighters kits for May delivery. It doesn't look like anything sold out so far. That Psycho GM is a definite for me. Kirara's Gerbera Tetra adds some color depth the original deco is sorely missing IMO. The Z'Gok kit is positively ancient, but Meijin was kind enough to stick on some new big beefy arms. I've never been a Jegan fan but there's a couple of variants for those that are. And while I like design of X, the HG kits and their variants do nothing for me for whatever reason.
