Also, I have 3 days before something auto ships from HLJ. Can I extend that? There’s a bunch of poo poo that I’m still waiting on.

They're listing the dates, but aren't enforcing them. Source: my recent order was weeks past the must-ship date.

HLJ still hasn't enforced the 60 days before auto-ship thing though they have once drawn a line once, with products entering the private warehouse pre-July 1st 2021 being refunded as store credit if you didn't ship them by February earlier this year.

Oooh cheers. Just checked and mine's currently listed as "PROCESSING". :peanut:

Also on the MODEROID front, from the Trails of Cold Steel games it looks like Valimar is getting a reprint and Ordine has been announced for around the same time. If you don't have painting skills, I'd recommend avoiding them as Valimar does not have any gold filigree at all aside from a bit on the sword. I suspect Ordine will be the same and arrive as mostly-blue plastic aside from the weapon.

I haven’t gotten the confirmation email yet, but my PB account page says it’s in transit.

e: due today, apparently. Some good stuff in this batch, including the HG Full Armor type. I’m fairly hyped.

I'll go take a look but to start just some basics stains and wear-and-tear. The problem is that it's weirdly hard to get good enamel paint in the UK so enamel washes may be difficult and I was looking at other ways to do it and the weathering markers popped up, as did sponging for rust.

Forgot enamel, use oil! A bottle of odourless (still needs ventilation) white/mineral spirit and a tube of the cheapest burnt umber and raw sienna is a great starting point for weathering. For weathering, I would avoid the marked up hobby products as they're usually a bad value.

There was a really good video by one of the Spanish modellers, maaaybe Mig, about weathering techniques and I'll try and find it for you.

Still sad that the P-001nt'YAK models went away after the disaster in the early UC 2000 Era even if they were just reskins of their other designs

That sounds about right :sigh:. Got myself two of the new-ish large arm/cannon set so I can dual-wield them on the Rabiot I'm rapidly stacking thrusters and missiles onto (Got the space booster pack enroute in the private warehouse order for More Thrusters). The other set of arms is going to an existing kit to make it look a bit more buff.

I'm hoping for the Shuffle Alliance plus our sixth rangers Shadow and Nobel.

Maxter would be a very fun build if it had the full transformation ability. Shoulder pads to boxing gloves, chest plate removal, even the mini-blue gloves in football mode. Plus the core lander and surfboard? Wild.

I used to have the whole set of battle-damaged Shuffle Alliance figures, I wish I'd never gotten rid of them.

A Windmill Gundam would destroy any existing sales records, they're stupid to not release it.

I mean, we have a semi-modern kit already for her. Probably puts Allenby lower on the list.

The HG Nobel is still a good enough kit that I don't think they'll do a new one. Same goes for Shining, God, and Master HGs.

They could do an RG though.

I'm getting WAY ahead of myself, but if they're doing manga Wing models, 7th Fight Gundams would rule too.

after some research, there apparently was a resin B-Club kit. Shouldn't be too hard to track down.

I don't think Nobel is gonna get a new HG since that has two recent-ish variant HG kits but I guess I would be fine with it

Or like an RG of it would rule yeah


With all the details and accessories on the HG Rose they could totally do an HG Maxter in the same vein- has a lot of little potential change and accessory things going on as well as stated

You know what's hosed up? P-Bandai doesn't do business in Canada, yet it still lists an option for a Canadian address.

Had to set up a PO box, but I finally nabbed myself a PG for my collection.
