I love seeing these resin kits being built instead of how they just sit on my shelf heat cycling with every passing season! They are awesome to see completed and out in the open the way they were meant to be seen.

Doing a quick inventory of what has been released, I think we are quite strong on the TV series, with only 2 from the movie front. What is left on the TV side? Max & Milia VF-1J , VF-1A brown, VF-1A Kakizaki On the Movie side we have VE-1 and VT-1, VF-1A brown, Max VF-1A, Hikaru VF-1A, Max VF-1S, and the VF-1J GBP Yellow Tip Missiles Did I miss any? We did see the custom colored GBPs in Max and Focker styles at the toy show a couple years ago...maybe those will be in the list? And the Mechanic Special Clear Fast Packs I think they'll do a VF-1A Cannon Fodder with combo TV and Movie Heads now that we are all about exchangeable parts next. The 40th DYRL anniversary is coming next year(2024), so maybe they'll do something special for that one (VE/VT)

cool! Any more info? Where did you find the pic?

Wow that is incredible-the more you look at it, the more things you see!! Awesome find!

Anthony sent another video, I'll upload it tomorrow. At the end he opened a random box on the stack... An Imai assortment box Inside....WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! That box is 2 layers deep (10x4)=80 total, all NOS. It is literally a time machine back to 1983.

It looks like an interlacing artifact trying to pause and frame advance from my old beta tapes

this was in the same folder

Going into the MW Wayback machine...had a request to see if I had the old wall of takatoku/bandai pic from 20+ years ago I think this was it...who's collection was this? I can't remember.

Good to hear we are all in the same boat...misery in numbers is much easier to accept! If any of us do get our kit in let the others know!

I ordered mine from HLJ back in October, but only have the decals in the private warehouse. Anyone else order through HLJ and not have theirs yet? I can wait, just seeing if anyone else was in the same boat before I bothered their support team

Ha! My blue

I thought I had blue and green, but apparently I only see green

Woah...these are actually Nichimo kits! Gotta find some of those.

Since we are in bootleg mode for a moment-here is a cool video of the Space Gandam V 1/55-turn on Closed Captioning and Auto-Translation Also another discovery-the Valkyrie 3-type...wow that box! Its the single fast pack booster squadron!

Thanks for the all the stories and info! I was dumb enough to not make the connection between 'Robot Tek'and 'Robotech'...of course! I found another pic of the 1/100 Takatoku model kit. I think this was the one your friend was describing, maybe just a mis-remembering of the gunpod firing since it was so long ago and there were probably other 1/55s they had http://wooroemae.com/zeroboard/zboard.php?id=menu_03_bbs&page=50&sn1=&divpage=1&sn=off&ss=on&sc=on&select_arrange=vote&desc=asc&no=818&PHPSESSID=84be942dd9704564a65e6e184ab143e6

I've never seen them actually attached to anything-great find! All the sets I ever see are always loose (but still together with the stickers)

SDF-1, Nice box art

Wow-nice collection! Multiple scales too

You were not joking...well at least I had fun poking around the old way...brute force

I would say that the Super McRoid and the Super Spartan are direct copies or import of the original Japanese kits-so it might have similar to the Revell Robotech situation...interesting!

The Revell kits were official in the fact that the were from Imai or Arii, but these are all new molds and interpretations. They are pretty wild!

While searching for a knockoff toy, I ran across some interesting model kits, thought I'd share the finds here! Feel free to add more! That Sally Tek above...is literally a Takatoku 1/100 toy?! I have to find this! See the comparison against the Takatoku Max VF-1J below. This one comes with a Gunpod...so it is better than the Takatoku ever could be (ha) https://bbs.ruliweb.com/family/232/board/300080/read/30125679

jvmacross coming in with the win! nice! how did you find that?

I think it is a diaclone bootleg somewhere....
