I will ask this once and only once. Please be respectful to each other in this thread or I'll just turn this place into a Robotech forum, I'm sure I can get a license from HG. Seriously knock it off, please. The PO/PRODUCT separate threads is currently the WAY we are going to do things for the current GBP nd near-term releases. No further discussions. All Purchase talk goes into THIS thread. All Product talk goes into the OTHER thread. The benefit of this process is all the chatter on orders, which have an extremely short lived lifespan stay encapsulated in one area. The product thread remains clean, without reading countless 'go here ...sold' threads, which once read are literally throw away comments. The downside is that you potentially have to look in 2 places now for product and purchase information. If you simply cannot adjust to this separate thread concept, I urge you to try some features of the board which allow you to see everything in one view Simply click on the Unread at top, which will open a super cool filter option that shows everything...choose Toys/Unread and whammo-you now see the Purchase and Product talk in once screen again. This is more akin to a continuous 'information feed' which might mirror other social network platforms which you are probably used to. If a particular plugin seems useful from here, we can implement too, but please discuss that in the Feedback forum. https://invisioncommunity.com/files/ Thank you for your support and please do NOT reply to my comment here...lets get back to track on Purchase information before we shutdown for the weekend. Thanks! Shawn

I love my Yamato VF-1S GBP...I think it holds its own quite well against the DX

OK, this is it, we are doing the server migration this weekend, so everything will be down. See you on the other side! Shawn

Last post on this subject please The separate PO thread concept is here to stay until its not, so all chat about where to buy stuff goes there, this thread is for product talk only Any further talk on this is going to be removed from all parties, as this is not a hard concept to follow. Where do I buy a GBP? => The PO thread What is this feature on the GBP => Here. end of line.

I definitely hope Cannon Fodder VF-1A is next, that would be a perfect option after the D and GBP. Then they can switch back to movie editions and do the VT-1 and VE-1 and then I'll be completely broke!

thank you! https://www.amazon.co.jp/-/en/dp/4846532445

what magazine /issue # is this from? I see it posted but I've missed out on the actual source thanks!

Very excited to see this next release, thanks for those additional pics! And then how long until we get a cel-shaded version from the customizers!?

On that video at 1:18:51 the right side hip 3 grenade holder gets a little loose when rotating the toy, wonder how tight the things will be (how it locks) It looks HEAVY...love it!

Nice find! It looks very solid, very happy. Is that a 6 hour video???

What I is written What I read haha

Can I repost the Takani DX again just because it makes me happy?

This first one was destined to be messy But looking at the real results, we have about 8 pages of GPB talk, 1 page of mixed, and all the other throw-away talk is in the PO thread where we can burn it to stay warm in winter. S

I think this is a very unhealthy attitude to have on this board and would appreciate toning it down. We either have a 700+ page thread with 400 pages of people saying 'got one'...'sold out here' that is difficult for a person to review, or we keep all the 'throw away' chatter in its own thread and the main one, like this stays on target. I'm publicly bringing this up because you are a valued member here, you don't have thin skin and can take it, and I want to express to others passing in, we need to reduce the vitriol. Shawn

Just FYI for all-this is our first 'split the threads for a Pre-order' experiment, so please keep all the specific vendor pre-order info there, and this is more about the product itself (at least that is what I THINK we are doing...LOL)

Hybrid meaning using TV/DYRL assets (the 41 that HG owns rights for ) in non TV/DYRL items, like flashback or a video game direct from BW. Maybe 'Mixed' source content is a better term

This is going to be a weird transition for some pieces. In their press release they say "Bigwest Co., Ltd. has announced the release of all works that are part of the “Macross” franchise made after 1987 to a worldwide audience from April 9, 2021." And now we see our first official release of Flashback 2012 to the global market(yay!) but aside from the new animation, it has all the content from prior to 1987 (doh!) Will any games be able to INCLUDE a VF-1, or do they need to start at the VF-4? Books etc? What can they include? They hybrid stuff is going to be interesting to watch, but maybe Flashback is they key...it IS a Hybrid, and it is releasable...so maybe this says it all S

Since they've recognized the Takani box art on the GPB Box art as the inspiration for the large hands on this new DX release... ..wait for it... They are going to do some Takani "special limited releases" in the future with the custom colors we saw at the Tamashi show! It all makes sense now! haha (If I THINK it, it WILL happen...positive thinking!)

You win the Post of the Day! THANK YOU! We have to get a hold of Tenjin so he can send that pic to Takani to show how beloved his work is, and how it STILL inspires Macross fans to this very day.

So you get 2x Hikaru in the combo...one with open helmet and one closed? So it is a complete VF-1J re-release
