    ... And BBTS finally shows up! Looks like I still need to locate a 1S for Fokker... this one is clearly labeled Rick Hunter and the little pilot inside is painted in Hikaru's TV Helmet scheme. Also interesting to note that the Fast packs are not bundled together in the box like M&M.

    I was able to find the Playmates black lion @Target but nothing else.. Tried some of the voice options and it sounds pretty corny.. The size of the lion is huge.. way bigger then my Matchbox Voltron III black lion.

    I'm gonna have to keep my eyes open for the Classic Voltron at Walmart or Target.. looks pretty neat. I picked up the Remake Netflix Voltron for my nephew over the holidays and was pleasantly surprised at the price point and what he got.. Of course he is also 9 years old and Voltron probably already met his match... lol

    Good Question... The build quality from what I have seen with the Super Max 1J puts it on par with the Hi-Metal R valks. Diecast content is in the legs, and chest area.. swing bars are diecast. Height is about 5 inches without fast packs and about 6-6.5 inches with fast packs. Things worth noting.. 2 heads.. one for transformation purposes, one for Battroid.. In Battroid there are gap pieces.. chest area and neck and shoulders that need to be removed for transformation.. I do not believe they serve any other purpose other then in Battroid mode. Head lights up.. Gunpod lights up.. Fast pack boosters light up both via the thrusters, and when missles are inserted the missles light up. Panels do come off on the fast packs.. and while not as detailed as my 1/48s they look pretty good. I also like the Panel lining which is already pre-done. I like the fact that I can order the whole set.. for less then an Arcadia 1/60 from the HK site currently. I have nothing against the Arcadia line.. I just can't justify a car payment for 2 valks.. I specifically got out of Macross collecting 15+ years ago because of pricing. The Hi Metal-R bug hit me mostly because the cost was reasonable again and they looked damn cool..

    2nd wave of KC SD Valks from HK.. Max 1J TV Super.. and Kakazaki TV 1A.. I just ordered the CF 1A TV w/fast packs to round out my collection of these beasties.. And BBTS apparently sent my Fokker Super 1S TV... but getting to the east coast apparently takes longer then HK to the US..

    And my 2nd HK order beats out BBTS.. Max Super 1J and Kakazaki TV 1A. I haven't opened them all up just the Max Super 1J.. and I am impressed with what I see at this point. I don't care that Robotech is on the box, and I think these guys may have just one upped the Bandai/Yamato/Arcadia toys just by trying something new. One of the things I just noticed is that KC sent me baggies of mini UMM-7 missle pods that are not in any of the pictures.. so I can change the hard points from AMM-1, and RMS-1, or any load out I wish. The little pilots on the inside stand out, and the light up gimmick is silly but not a detraction.. Bonus since I got all of them for less then the cost of an Arcadia 1/60 valk. Rob

    I just got another packaged from HK today.. should be the Super Max 1J and Kakazaki's 1A On a side note... why is it faster to get an item from HK.. then getting an item from BBTS? I don't really order from BBTS so maybe this is not the norm.. but seriously? They are in the USA.. and it's been 2 weeks!

    Oshiri Tantei (Butt Detective) https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2017-05-31/toei-animation-creates-net-anime-based-on-butt-detective-children-books/.116826 I think that is out this season and it's based on children books.. seems legit!

    Shakugan no Shana is on my list of Favorite anime series... the problem with the 3rd season was the disconnect between the end of the 2nd Season and what happens at the start of the 3rd.. It's definately worth reading up on.. they jump around alot in the anime and leave some major plot elements out which makes the 3rd season seem really weak in comparison. Read the LN's seriously.. and the ending will make sense then!
  10. Stampeed Valkyrie
    Sure... once I get a chance to actually open them up and tinker with them. I just ordered the CF 1A with super packs which is the only one I didn't have, so I like them enough already to get all of them.

    #14 & #15 of the Hi-Metal line R series for me.. Both are Duplicates.. Also got so of my first wave of the SD Valks from KitzConcepts line. More of these coming.. and I am glad I pulled the trigger on these they are rather neat.
  12. Stampeed Valkyrie
    First wave of the SD Valks arrived. I like these guys.. they're ugly but neat at the same time. I still have 3 more coming.. all in all worth the price if you can still get them on sale.
  13. Stampeed Valkyrie
    Very Nice! I found my copy on Letgo locally had everything except instead of a Macross film strip it had one from Aera 88
  14. Stampeed Valkyrie
    I believe the correct order is 2,4,3,1,5,6,7 You can watch it either way..
  15. Stampeed Valkyrie
    What amuses me are the Macross Blu-rays on ebay that are obviously bootleg.. but charging an arm and leg for them.. lol off the top of my head.. I've got Animego SDF Macross TV DYRL + FB 2012 Bandai Collector Box Manga Video Macross Plus, and Movie Manga Video Macross 2
  16. Stampeed Valkyrie
    Interesting.. My *cough* source has the Netflix logo plastered right as the series starts.. I would double check what your friend has.. assuming your in the US..
  17. Stampeed Valkyrie
    If your going to watch Garden of Sinners do yourself a favor and watch it in the correct order.. not the sequential. I made that mistake at first and was WTF? Great series some movies better then others..

    I've got a handful I'm following this season.. Violet Evergarden... looks great but no idea where this story is headed. Beatless.. Kinda reminds me of a cross between Plastic Memories and Bubble Gum Crisis. Grancrest Senki.. Not sure about this one seems to be ok but not leaving a strong impression with me. Hakata Tonkatsu Ramens.. Hitmen killing Hitmen.. premise is kinda dumb actually.. unless this picks up quickly it will get dropped by me pretty soon. Karakai Jozu no Takagi-san... this series is essentially about a girl who likes a boy and trolls the living crap out of him.. Overlord 2... 2nd season of Overlord.. I like this one. Ancient Magus Bride.. I am waaay behind in this series still on the first season (episode 8 ) but I like what I see so far.
  19. Stampeed Valkyrie
    In the very short amount of time I have been collecting the Hi-Metal R line.. the VF-2SS with SAP armor is my favorite one... so much so I just bought another! I predict the price will start rising on these unless Bandai brings out others.

    Lucky #13 or should I say unlucky ride over here #13 Got my Glaug, the seller didn't pack it well and the box got dinged around. Since I am not gonna stare at it in a box I am not too concerned. The size comparison between this and a VF-1 is pretty intimidating.. the Regults even manage to make the VF-1 look small and that is not something easily noticed in the TV series. If this scale is accurate I have new respect for Hikaru during his fight @ the Mars Base.. Khamjin would have popped out and I would have been like.... crap.
  21. Stampeed Valkyrie
    Yep, Sorry should have been more specific.. though I did pre-order the 1/72 one as well directly from Kitz Concepts website.. I'm waiting on the GBP armor release now..
  22. Stampeed Valkyrie
    I ended up picking up the Roy VF-1S w/fast packs from BBTS.. these guys will make excellent toppers to my SDF Macross Pachislo Machine!
  23. Stampeed Valkyrie
    I took a chance on this one.. I picked up the Hikaru/Max/Kakazaki combo set and the Max/Millia Super set both on the sale pricing. Also took a chance on the 1/72 Fokker 1S. Did they make a Fokker 1S SD valk?
  24. Stampeed Valkyrie
    #'s 9-12 of my Hi Metal-R collection. I've come quite a way in about a month from Zero to 12, some of these are definately more interesting then others.. Favorites so far.. the Monster (cause Monster), the VF-2SS w/SAP, Hikaru's GBP-1J, Max & Millia super valks, and the Missle Regults.. I am hoping the Glaug is pretty sweet as we need more enemy Mecha! I have a few that I am kinda meh on.. the most obvious being Messer VF-1S.. mostly because I was not a fan of Delta.. I am also kinda Meh on the DYRL Strike Hikaru.. maybe it will grow on me.
  25. Stampeed Valkyrie
    Hi Metal-R #'s 5-8 for me.. now I can say I have a collection going
