Nice set djmajin. :D
I really like the red eyes on Spiga, it looks like a spider from hell, very cool although not movie accurate.
I prefer this red version.

However the price for the set is insane on ebay ($600-$900).
I also have Minilla on hand and don't want the G67.

Edit : I received a payment request from HLJ for MG 75, so it should be on a plane above the pacific very soon. :D

I need some input of buying an x-plus. As you all know the 84 Godzilla is being re released and is around 150-170 to preorder. I could get and original 30cm release with no box for 200. Should I go for the original or with the diamond reissue?

Lol. Thanks I'm leaning towards buying it. Question for all of you x plus collectors. This would be my first x plus so I'm wondering do any of you keep them in the box or take them out and display them

I don't know anyone that keeps their X Plus in the box. These figures were born to be displayed. Would be a crime to keep them hidden away in a cardboard prison

Only because the one place I could have displayed him, is housing my entire Ultra-Act collection and now has another shelf above it.

Do you know how many poor G fans around the world die everyday, because they can't afford an X-Plus? And you, you keep it in the box! You make me sick SpaceG92.

I mean If you don't have room in your room find another room to put in. I keep my Gigantic BG in the living room, next to the collectable buckets of KFC.

My MG is on its way from AmiAmi! Really excited about this one!

Also had a question for anyone who has ordered from Anime-Island. I ordered a X-Plus 8" Toho Kaiju Biollante back when they were offered as a preorder, they offer free shipping and had a coupon, which made ordering from them seem like a no brainier. The long and the short of it is they shipped me the wrong item, I think it is a Dragon Ball or Street Fighter figure! Definitely not Biollante! I emailed them on Saturday when I received the item, left two voicemail messages today and haven't heard from them yet. Anyone have any experience with them? This was my first time ordering from them and I hope this goes OK.

Also, if anyone out there got a Biollante in the mail by accident, instead of what they ordered, let me know! :D

I hear anime-island is good and cheap prices, but they really drag their feet when shipping and answer emails like in 3 or 4 days. Never shopped from them because most shops with the word "anime" in their logos are shady sons of beeatches.

Prices at anime-island are the best if you wait for sales and fully pay for your preorder, they also have good shipping charges for us Canadian customers.
I bought 3 X-Plus reissue figures from them (Titano, Gigan, and G03) and I have KG and Kiryu on preorder.
Yes they are slower to ship the figures, but I don't mind since their prices are great and their packaging is serious, everything I received from them was flawless.
I always got answer within 24h from them, I also had a prompt refund when Diamond canceled GMK second run.

Wow, I've been out of the loop for a while.

Finally, the G2K I've been waiting for since seeing the film in theaters August 2000. The closed mouth version was great, but this...this is perfect. MINE

Arrived today form HLJ to join Titano !!
I'm surprised by the ''posability'' of this figure: head move, jaw open and close, arm move and you can twist the hands
Feet and legs are also adjustable.

Now we all need a G75 30cm to complete the trio.

^ I briefly considered doing it with mine, but massive bleed-through in the neck and chest are kind of a show stopper

So he's transparent around the body too?! Oh wow. Gonna have to ram a light up in there and locate all the bleeds and then paint it acryllic black. Hopefully that would work. Thanks for that Klen.
