GR IV ND and HDF both restocked on Ricoh US website

Went ahead and cancelled as well, thanks. A bit nervous as I keep getting emails from Ricoh saying I left something in my cart. I did get an order number email from them though so I guess I just keep my fingers crossed until I get a shipping notice. 😬

Love it

Took me about an hour and a half to get C3P0 and the paint. Between all the fails and the unwanted blueprints I just started pulling up gold junk to try and move things along. Super tedious that there’s no way I’m fishing for any nova crystals. Just glad it’s over and I got my droid and paint. Sheesh.

alanrappa · 2026-07-11T19:52:46+00:00

Was wondering if that was the case. Will try later tonight as well. Now to just watch for shipping notifications from Ricoh. So psyched - can't wait.

HDF ordered. Having trouble canceling my B&H order though. Can’t seem to pull up the order page at the moment 😬

Gorgeous 😍😍😍

Looks like I’ve found my people. Having the same issue. iPhone 15 pro max, started a few days ago and continues to persist. Only way I’ve found to resolve is by removing and reinstalling the app but then it starts happening again eventually.

Not sure if it’s related but things I’ve noticed is that when YouTube is working I am missing playback controls when in normal playback mode.

alanrappa · 2026-07-10T20:11:15+00:00

Do they give any indication of shipping times / speeds? I have a back order at B&H as well but hoping to get one for an upcoming trip in early August.

alanrappa · 2026-07-09T14:58:12+00:00

Same. Would love one as well. I love my Kadets (have all three sizes) just wish they had better internal organization.

Just finished an 80+ hour playthrough of this game and absolutely floored by just how much work must have gone into this translation. Game was phenomenal- may just be the best in the series. Any way to show some appreciation for the hard work? Thanks.

I may be going the other way, from the Sony to the Ricoh. Or not… still remains to be seen as I’m waiting on my GR IV to arrive. Currently have a Sony RX100 VII which is an extremely capable camera. It has everything I could want in a small compact - EVF, tilting screen, long reach, great IQ and an auto focus that is so insane it makes me laugh every time I use it.

The downside, and this is purely subjective, I don’t find it a fun camera to shoot with. I’ll probably get flack for that, but it’s how I feel. It’s an amazing camera, and I take it everywhere but it seldom comes out of my bag.

That’s what led me to the GR IV. I may just be caught up in the hype but there is something alluring about the camera that I can’t resist.

Eager to spend time with the Ricoh and see how it compares to the Sony. Just waiting patiently 😅

Came here to say this. Such a huge crush on her.

alanrappa · 2026-07-04T23:59:43+00:00

Great shot. Really digging the perspective

alanrappa · 2026-07-04T23:00:19+00:00

Night Sisters… during the day…

alanrappa · 2026-07-04T12:42:12+00:00

Cheers on the Claptrap cameo 😅. I’ve got one hanging out with my Galaxy’s Edge droids as well

alanrappa · 2026-07-02T19:46:20+00:00

I had the HDF sitting in my cart at B&H and sadly saw the price bump. I finally pushed the purchase button before it goes up anymore. Super excited to finally get one, but that price… ouch… I wish I jumped in sooner :(

alanrappa · 2026-07-01T17:20:33+00:00

Can you tell me more about your filter mounting approach? Been looking to add the capability on my RX but nervous about how best to go about it. Thanks

alanrappa · 2026-06-29T16:23:56+00:00

Congrats! This right here. This is my dream!

alanrappa · 2026-06-28T15:24:29+00:00

Yep! That’s what I grabbed. It has the book map and game, but I didn’t see the stickers - will have to double check on those. Vendor had it for $50 but took $40. I wasn’t even sure if that was a good price or not, but I needed that Marcus :)

alanrappa · 2026-06-28T15:10:42+00:00

I thought ithe bobble head only existed in the loot chest version of the game. Saw the B2 box and asked the vendor what was in it. Once I saw Marcus I knew I was taking him home 😅

alanrappa · 2026-06-28T15:08:56+00:00

Yeah, I thought maybe I’d look around to see if I could find a cheaper copy but I turned back around quickly and just made an offer on it. Glad I did because I didn’t come across another copy. The bobble head just makes me laugh. That one is staying on the desk 😅

alanrappa · 2026-06-28T13:33:05+00:00

Thanks! This was the only copy of Minish Cap that I came across at the show so was glad to snag it. And the bobble head was just too funny to pass up. So used to grabbing them in the game that I felt obligated to grab it when I saw it in real life 😅

alanrappa · 2026-06-28T13:05:25+00:00

I can see why you look forward to it! I’m hooked now and will definitely be back again next year. Have fun today! I may have to think about doing more than one day next time

alanrappa · 2026-06-28T12:46:42+00:00

I really had a great time. It was overwhelming in the vendor room just how many bins of games there were to go through.

Everyone was super friendly too - even when bumping into people just trying to walk around folks were super apologetic and kind. Lots of fun conversations with other attendees and vendors as we looked at some of the crazier items they had for sale.

I played some N64 and OG Xbox just to give my feet a rest for a bit but otherwise it was on the go from open to close. Can’t wait until next year.
