Looks like Guyversudo is selling off his BFC kit collection on eBay (http://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/guyvergiganticexceed/m.html?_nkw=&_armrs=1&_ipg=&_from=). Managed to snag myself Aptom 4, so I finally have the 5 kits I was after!! Now just for BFW set 06. See that Barcus and the processing tank are going for 40K each on YAJ!! With the current exchange there is no way I can justify dropping the best part of £700 on those 2, so i'll have to make do until I win the lottery or something

Apologies if it was anyone here I was fighting with to win that BFC-16 Aptom Ver.2 today on YAJ Managed to get it for 8,500 yen in the end. Looking forward to adding it to the collection! Only the BFC-19 Aptom Ver. 3/4 and BFW Ramotith/Zencrebe left and i'm done. I've given up hoping to find an affordable Barcus or Aptom w/ processing tank and my painting skill's aren't good enough to do Aptoms head on the Elegen SP edition.

Updated my display. Another big thank you to UnitG for Gregole!!

I wasn't involved. I joined the forum around the time it was sent and heard all about it. I am intrigued........did he like it??

Thank you Guyver1. It was actually really fun playing with the GIII figma. In fact i've just gone and spent £150 on another GI & GIII figma so I can have them in different poses with my Zoanoids! Also, be warned, anyone out there looking for a figma GIII, there are a lot of bootlegs from China at the moment which are difficult to identify and are still selling for £60-70. Be sure to confirm authenticity before purchasing! The official one typically goes for over £100 now.

Nice dude! Congrats!! I received a monster haul today, Vamore, Panadyne, Gergoile & Zerbebuth!! I couldn't help myself!!

Had a reshuffle. Still have a 2nd Guyver I and Combat Crew to add along with Vamore, Zerbebuth, Panadyne, Gergoile & Enzyme II!!

Finally built Enzyme I. He's not the greatest. The different shades of white and unpainted areas are off putting, but he'll do.

Awesome dude! Post pics of your chronos solider. I just got mine, but I was a little underwhelmed compared to Gregole, so I haven't displayed it. Did you paint yours? Edit: Here are mine. I've actually just snagged another set for 3,000 yen, so I can paint one Mizuki as "practice", before I do the real thing. Also 2 soldiers together might look better than one.

Thanks a lot!! It took a bit long than I'd expected, but it was worth it! I also got Malmot and Enzyme II, so i've added Malmot to the display.

Finally built my Gregole this morning! I'm am really impressed how good this looks for a kit. Would you say this is one of the better ones? Will do the Chronos Trooper & Enzyme I tomorrow!! Maybe Mizuki, but need paint for her.

Added neo zxtole

Also, I finally got around to opening OVA GIIF today and tried playing around while I wait for my risers to arrive. I've got about 10 new figures to add and i'm starting to worry that 2 cases isn't enough.

Thanks everyone! Really helpful. Hopefully I can get a knife by the end of the week. Hope to Make Gregole, Enzyme & the Chronos Grunt this weekend.

So any advice on building these kits? I still need to get a craft knife, but is it correct you have to boil the parts in water before you cut them? I mean, I can see the PVC is quite hard and brittle, so softening would certainly help with cutting, but worried hot water may affect the paint.

Damn. If you had been a few days earlier I may have taken the Test Type and Enzyme II off your hands, but I already having them coming from Japan now. Good luck with your move! These are some great figures, but sadly I already have them all, and I don't think I can justify spending £200 on a 2nd Gigantic! As much as I'd like to!

So my Gregole and Enzyme arrived!! I'm really pleased, but at the same time anxious as I've never built anything like this. What do I need? Scissors, Knives, Glue? Grabbed another display box for my Guyver figures today. Adding the BFC and BFW's that scale with the figmas. Guyot and Neo Zx-Tole are a bit small based on the Data files, but i'll add them regardless. Really wished we'd got a figma Guyver II and Murikami to fit with the rest of the line. My BFC's are way to big.

Haha, penny just dropped that the guy I bought my Gregole and Enzyme from on eBay was UnitG. LOL! It only just clicked when I saw the profile picture and thought "I recognise that display in the background" Oh well, if you read this, thanks man. Hopefully they'll arrive soon.

Haha, I was lucky then! It would be sweet to have an army of Chronos soldiers. Mizuki on the other hand I'm not that excited about as she's barely painted and I think too big next to the Figma Guyvers. I'll probably also be looking for some more though. Now i've got Malmot, Soldier, Gregole, Mizuki, Enzyme and Enzyme II joining my display in the next few weeks!! I can't wait!!

Just had some luck on a couple of YAJ auctions. Got a new BFC13 Combat Operative with Mizuki Segawafor 4000 yen and the BFW set-01 Test Type and Enzyme II for 6500 yen. Not a bad score. In fact, BFC13 has just come up on Mandarake for 8000 yen https://order.mandarake.co.jp/order/detailPage/item?itemCode=1114586524 Glad I found the auction first, otherwise I would have overpaid! Just need the BFC 16 & 19 Aptoms now, and the other 3 BFW Zoanoid packs. Also Barcus and the processing tank would be nice one day!!

Decided to take the jump and bought Gregole and Enzyme. £170 including shipping for the 2 new in the box. It's steep, but Gregole without the box was going for £50 before fees and shipping on YAJ, so for the 2 new I think it's pretty much the best I'll find without hunting for months. Found pictures of them without any additional paint done and think they are serviceable. Aptom V3 and V4 would be the only other 2 I'd get, other than that I think it's best to stick to the BFW from 2014. Still really want that Zerebebuth that came with Gergoile. Given up waiting on Max Factory for more in future.

Thanks for these! Yeah, this is what I worried about and part of the reason I never pulled the trigger on them years ago........ Hmmm, do you have Gregole and Enzyme? As this point I think those may be the only 2 I am interested in, unless they aren't pre-painted enough either. Thanks.

Thanks. I remember in 2013 Max Factory has some of their old kits on display which don't look like they were painted. I see what you mean about the grey areas. I guess this is how it comes and my pic above has had an undercoat. I just want to know what I'm spending my money on so there are no nasty surprises! lol Got me excited for my stuff, but 6 years later we only got those 4 figmas.

Thanks for the advice. Think i'll stay away from that one. Does the same apply to this Aptom V4? I'm no artist so I'm not about to take a brush to a £100 figure. Is this how it looks out the box, or has it had work done?

Thanks a lot! I think i'm probably going to get the Gregole and Enzyme then. I've been nervous about pulling the trigger since some really lack paint and detail. Aptom V2 for example. I've seen it for 15,000 yen, but changed my mind as I was hoping it would look like the one on the right, which I imagine is one that has been painted? The one of the left doesn't look very good in my opinion.
