What's your grail? I just won mine. Been searching for this for ages but couldn't afford the assrape prices i've seen from Japan.
>>5655839
Fucking nice. I didn't even know they had toys of the Bebop ships
>>5655839
Congratulations, OP!
Nice find.
This is just a diecast version of this kit tho isn't it?
It's not super rare like the Yamato one.
>>5655954
It's not a kit. It's a diecast model. Has like, folding wings, removable landing gear, pod opens, air brake moves and that. It's pretty hard to find... took me long enough anyway. The model kit is piss easy to get at about £30-£60
>>5655859
>>5655848
Thanks. Yeah they made Model kits of the swordfish and red tail. There is something of jet's ship but i haven't seen it in years. This is the only diecast model i know of though. Hopefully it's good in person too.
>20000 yennery doos?!
>>5655960
It's a diecast of the kit. No?
Parts look identical

Behold, my Grail.
A very short-lived, failed series of Kenner girder and rail sets that came with demolition components. Easily the rarest of it's types of these building sets.
I had these as a kid and I loved them. For almost a decade I had no idea what they were actually called or how to find them. Without a trace of them online, I started to wonder if I had dreamed them up...but I FINALLY found what they were and located my first set in the UK. I used a middleman service to buy it and have it sent to me and that set me off on my grand quest to own and display them all!!
I give you.....Kenner Building Blasters!
Cliche as fuck but muh waifu
>>5656954
>a figure of the same model looks identical
NO FUCKING WAAAAAAAAAAY
my grail is pretty unachievable because of the display space needed, but i want the whole hot toys avengers age of ultron set
despite what i think about the movie as a whole, the designs were really good and they're the best likenesses of the actors i've seen
Should have him in a couple of weeks time.
It's been a dream, but it's coming home soon. Very soon.
>>5656954
Yeah. I might get the model kit too. I'm shit at that sort of thing though and all the vids I've seen say this one is quite difficult
>grailless
>a man with no purpose
>no goals
being content with your collection is a curse.
>>5656995
Civil War Set, and then future Infinity War set.
Bandai pls
>>5656990
i have the model version and the tooling looks identical
>>5656962
such a grand story I appreciate you sharing it. I very much admire the passion in you.
My grail is a complete collection of DBZ Figuarts. I've got 7 so far, will buy a couple a month until I have all of them.
>tfw going to pay scalper prices for earlier figs I missed out on
>>5657178
forgot pic
>>5657178
I feel your pain buddy, started collecting them late last year and paying catchup prices sucks so hard.
>>5657179
I only have the naked SS Goku. Any other good ones with weathering?
If i had to pick something I'd have a hard ass time of finding for a somewhat decent price it would be Black Fire Convoy. That paint scheme was awesome.
I'm thinking about doing the payment plan, but 200 bucks is gonna hurt in the long-run.
>>5657272
Don't do it dude. He's $180 to preorder on BBTS at the moment and still hasn't got a solid release date. Plenty of time to save up for it.
This. Looks silly but is a rare and hilarious special edition of a game.
>>5657284
HAADO GAY FUUUUUUUU
that looks awesome
>>5657098
that's probably a better way to go. civil war set is looking real nice.
>no huge hulk figure
>no even bigger, wallet busting hulkbuster
>no thor figure that never gets the face/hair quite right
>better widow imo
>hawkeye comes with motherfucking ant-arrow
>>5657178
m8 just w8 for the anime colors Cell that's already been announced and save yourself some money.
Also can it be a grail if it doesn't exist yet? I've wanted a Hot Toys of MCU Spider-Man before he was even a thing. I really like Hot Toys but I'm a poorfag so if I had to pick one it'd be the new Spider-Man. Thank god for their payment plans or else I could never get one.
>>5657285
HOOOOOOOOOOO!!
One day lads.
Also anything Taihou but nendo never.
I'm praying that one day I'll find one on mandy with rusty screws or something so I can get her for a reasonable price. One day.
Managed to get this a few months back but for pretty cheap too. Now I just need Mewtwo… but it's hard to fork over the cash.
>never ever
*exaggerated sigh*
>>5655839
He's on his way to me now. My wallet is mortally wounded from the purchase, but he will be mine.
Used to be ES Gokin Speedy Cerviche but thats getting a re-release. I've pretty much accepted this will never happen.
>>5657734
Figuarts or SIC when mane....
>>5657743
It wont happen. The OVA was almost ten years ago and Tatsunoko did nothing with the IP which is a shame because there is clearly an extended universe and more of a story to tell. It's also a very unique character that's only other appearance was Tatsunoko vs Capcom. I loved the OVA and he was my main in the JP version of Tatsunoko vs Capcom (US version absolutely gutted him)
There is currently 3 on EBAY all at $1600
>>5657723
I remember when I thought sixty bucks for that set was preposterous and I skipped on it.
>>5657179
Hello scalper-san.
>>5657030
This is mine too, congrats and fuck you
This fella.
>>5665792
Look at his beautiful nutsack head! Also, he comes in plenty of color schemes. Always way too expensive though, and hardly ever for sale in the first place.
>>5657272
>payment plan for $200
>for ThreeAshit that's probably not coming out for over a year
>of a mediocre game
I'm sorry but this just sounds like a horrible idea all around.
