    A quick Buff comparison.

    Yes they are the Exhobby sheets - I’ve been a big fan of them for about 2 years now.
    It helps being in Japan, but even then I miss our more than not.
    Exhobby seems to be basically one guy doing things in his own, so everything sells out in a matter of seconds. It also doesn’t seem like his operation is very scalable, which would explain why retailers don’t carry them.

    Yeah, it’s pretty tough to get - I think it’s just one guy printing and everything on his own. He does great work though.

    Finally!!!!!!!!!!!

    Reinforcements 5-2021.jpg

    I've only messed with Verse Riser 03 so far. Its got the most variety as a solo kit for the Riser systems. I'm hoping TT has 1 maybe 2 more of these left in the idea chamber.

    My only concern so far is the pegs for the feet in the small crawler mode seem REAL tight. I'm actually a bit nervous to take it out of its "vehicle" mode now. Similarly the adapters that plug into the shoulder/bicep ports are also quite snug.

    Yes, and also consoles and chairs and scaffolding. They’ve come up every once in a while on this thread but hard to get since they’re only available locally (here in Japan) and sell out in minutes.
    Very good quality stuff but it’s not exactly mass produced so it’s hard to get even here.

    Yea. You can see what theyve produced. It’s not as easy as it used to be to find their stuff on Amazon JP. A lot of other unrelated items get lumped in. エクスホビー|ライフスタイルにスパイスを加えるホビー・雑貨アイテムをお届けします。

    I managed to get a few items and I’ll have them in hand early June. After a quick family vacation, I’ll take a look at them and post some pics. I’m pretty excited.

    Man, I REALLY want these addons whenever possible. Especially those chairs, they look spiffy and fit in pretty much everywhere!

    Can I just get a moment and say (my very humble :2c: , honest!) that this is how unofficial items should be? Something like.... early upgrade stuff like Crazy Devy for devastator. It's only a slight bonus if you get it, very affordable and doesn't overlap with the line it's supposed to be supplementing to.

    (my :2c: 's over :p )

    More onto contribution to the thread: My first Taktom mall exclusive diaclone just came in! Liking it so far!

    Now I have my own Doomguy in my diaclone regiment :D 

    Funny stuff how I managed to get this though; been keeping an eye like a hawk at amiami's pre-owned section, then suddenly this and DAT MARINE TRIDIGGER suddenly came in (tridigger was 12k JPY? couldn't remember exactly, but it was few k cheaper than mandarake!). I wouldn't bother with any trivers or marine but man, green never looked so sweet!

    and then suddenly someone sniped at the tridigger before me. Like literally a femto-second faster :eek:  I only managed to snag this epsilon one.

    IMHO, both marine types (an epsilon and marine tridigger) should be together in a collection.

    If only I could've been a tad faster. Kicking myself in the head for not able to get that tridigger. But hey, maybe the guy who got that kicked himself in the head for not getting my epsilon too, hah! :dunce 

    EDIT: as of this post, just saw a mariner squad listed at amiami too.

    HNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNGGGHHH no more! Enough for this month! that D-calibur trijetter isn't cheap!

    Did someone here apply Combat Chronicle set 2 and 3 to Delta suit?

    I haven't put them together, but have all 3... I can try it out tonight if no one beats me to the point? Any particular version of Delta? I'm thinking DA-23 since it is also gray...

    I swear, it almost looks like an alternate design you can find in battletech! a mashup of 25-tonner commando and firestarter maybe :D 

    And Amiami listed Versriser Unit-2 mariner on pre-owned list for 8980 JPY :banghead:  I should lay off the watchlist for few days...

    So, why does V-Max only come with number "1" decals, when all the others had at least 6? I normally skip "1" as chances are if you pick up another second hand the prior owner used #1. And, I got two of them...
