    I would have preferred ratchets instead of ball joints even though ratchets have less motion. It's a shame if it sags

    comparing the cockpit heatshield to the 3 pilots cockpit, seems the monster pit is a bit small... or it's piloted by little people

    maybe the cheaper ems is because they're gonna send it in a smaller ems box size? Maybe the rest are packaging bigger size for all the bubble wrap? I'm guessing because my glaug from cdjapan came in a box that was only bubble on the sides, not the top nor bottom. amiami had wrap all around and a cardboard frame to keep it in the middle

    At least these toys are available. I hated the vf25 Chogokins craze because it was hard to even buy one. Scalpers were buying up a lot of the stock I think. Bandai better release the destroids before this line gets too hot and scalpers speculate on these.

    5960 yen here. That's almost the price of vf1a cf hmr!
  7. Drool. Gimix hurry up and release the Tomahawk. And the GBP armor.

    Hi-Metal R

    thanks. I suppose the pricing is not that far off for the high end, but a lot more compared with the regular edition. A little off topic, but if the gimix line has a monster, it could look better than the bandai, and easier to collect in size. The tomahawk gimix (unconfirmed) is weathered and has a floating pilot and support staff, which already look better than the tomahawk for the hmr line. I'd expect less articulation at that size compared to the hmr though. I'm currently "all in" for the hmr, but the gimix offerings might cause me to switch haha btw, for whomever was looking for the monster, it's available at hobbysearch and hlj now

    Hi-Metal R

    I think yes to both Thanks. I think I'll go EMS since I don't think SAL will cover over 20000 yen +1 How much were the Yamato and bandai transforming monsters (sorry I can't recall their name)? Were they as expensive as this monster? I think they were shelf warmers, and then on sale? It would tick me off if this monster were on sale or if it shelf warmed, because dont want the line cancelled until at least after all the destroids and qrau are issued

    I'm starting to think the same with the shipping going up. Plus I'm missing ps4 because of this mecha. It better live up to the hype.

    Hi-Metal R

    Yeah I only budgeted 4000 yen thinking it would fit in a big box. But my last shipment of the storm attacker sdf alone cost 3700 yen.

    Hi-Metal R

    100 bucks for shipping 1 monster? Or 2?

    ]The pose at the end shooting up looks good but I doubt it'll fit my cabinet. The guns look like they are on a ball joint so they'll droop eventually. To bad they're not on a ratchet though a ratchet would be less posable Monster 1a and glaug back in stock at hlj

    Hi-Metal R

    I vaguely remember that from the tv show, they talked about it on the show I think, when the macross capital ship was discovered it had doors, etc that were giant sized, so the humans made the mecha like the size of the ship also I remember there was an episode where they had a vf walking around inside a zentran ship wearing a soldier uniform. If the vf was not in scale, the other zentrans should have noticed with huge ! above their heads like in metal gear solid. Hehe also, I doubt the vf was wearing the huge leader zentran's uniform, because the other zentran soldiers didn't acknowledge him.

    Hi-Metal R

    Not sure why bandai didn't make it both version like the 1a cf

    Hi-Metal R

    Or wait too long and is sold out. I missed the transformable monsters Cuz I waited too long.

    Hi-Metal R

    I think it's because max is a hero mecha. The Glaug and regult are villain. I think Japanese having less space for collectibles would choose the hero over the army builders because they don't army build as much with such small apartments? I think. .. or if money is an issue like a casual collector they probably buy the hero mecha and skip the rest. When I was getting into collecting I only bought the vf1j vf1a Hikaru 1/48 and the same V2 with the armored 1j but skipped the rest because i was a casual collector. Now I regret not buying all those destroids (although I don't think Yamato did all of them).
  23. Awesome thanks Please post your photos we're eager to see the setAre you buying the delta sets? Not sure I'm in Thanks for review of battroid mode.

    Hi-Metal R

    Yup maybe can be like the Gundam master grades that bandai cranks out all the models one each month.
  25. Kyp did you buy the 1a? Is the canopy frosted?
