I don't know about the MaK figures, but yes, the fingers on the Hard Graph figure are articulated. There are internal details on the arm, as well. dalong.net/review/etc/uh4/uh4_p.htm

^^You can pose it in a middle-fingered salute like that was the last thing it could do before running out of power. Back ot---I placed an order one hour before I got the email last night. It won't be entered into their computer until Monday. I have no idea if the items on the sale list so what I did was cancel my Paypal agreement. That'll buy me some time. If the items are on the sale I'll cancel my order, re-do the PP agreement & re-do the order. If the items aren't on the sale list I'll just process the order normally. I'm set on getting the items no matter what. I'll just hold off to see if I can save $30....

well hlj has really out done themselves the past few months with sales...... i am sure they realized they sell a hell of a lot more by doing things like this! Also, in response to stores like amiami and hobby search which have lower prices.

Hi ho, mates! Just a quick reminder that the sale has started. 12:00 in Japan means 22:00 the day before here. By "here", I mean my time zone, Eastern Time... but whatever. It doesn't matter were you live. It's on. Now. For everyone. Try not to bleed your wallet too much. Christmas is coming. ;D

My wallet will live to see another day. I only grabbed the G.R.O. Zearth statue that is back from last sale. I almost bought it last time, but chickened out at the last minute. I don't know much about Bokurano, the anime/manga it's from, but I found the design deliciously creepy. From what I could find, it seems to be a relatively obscure series, with little to no merchandising. The chances of seeing a diecast version, or even a deluxe plastic figure, are probably quite low. If I snoozed on it now, I might not have another chance to get it. At least, not at that price.
On a side note, is it just me or does that Medicom Lupin III pilot film figure looks like a cartoony perverted version of Quentin Tarantino.

Damn it! HLJ got my money again with the SOC Energer Z and the GN-U figures on sale!!! Well, at least now I will have a normal color Energer Z - once I'm done painting it of course...

Yeah, I almost picked the Getter Dragon SOC, but it would end up being cheaper getting it from AmiAmi with SAL shipping. Damn it! HLJ got my money again with the SOC Energer Z and the GN-U figures on sale!!! Well, at least now I will have a normal color Energer Z - once I'm done painting it of course... }D An Energer Z custom... Hmmm... I had not thought of that. It would be simple to do. It's tempting, but I must resist. That would probably end up as another custom-to-be double that I'll never get done.

Totally harder than I thought. Some decent choices, but I had to keep it within a certain budget!
So I fulfilled my appetite for Tokusatsu by picking up the last of the 1/10 Ohtsuka Kikaku Kikaider figures. Also since the free shipping was in effect picked up a Koto Frame Arms Architect, Revo Kenshiro-Kingdom of Shura ver. and the Jan 2010 Dengeki Hobby with the 1/48 Unicorn display. Very excited for this mini haul!

I waited patiently with my cursor over the refresh button so when 12am hit, I could get first dibs even though I said I wasn't gonna get anything. Most of the cool stuff I already own so it was down to the 1/48 VF-1A or the red Legioss. The Legioss won since it was half what the valkyrie was. I have no willpower when it comes to robots.

I think I'm going to pick up the GX-31v respect for Volt in Box. I never got the original voltes and I doubt I will ever be able to find this for this price again.

I got my order confirmed already! Wonder when they're going to ship it out this time. I've only ordered 2 items including the sale item, here's hoping the EMS wouldn't give me duty when my pack should be little.....
I was close to an hour after 12 to start browsing, and the Genesic Gaogaigar was already gone!

I've had mine so long, got it last time hlj had it on sale for 12,400 but no free shipping. I just got around to openng it for display just 2 weeks ago and its awesome. I wish more SOCs would have the window covers over the styrofoam. Brings back childhood memories
