    As it is, it's juts basically a pretty bad and boring shoot em Up, that just happens to have a Macross skin.

    I think this game would have been so much better if: 1) It allowed free transformation at any time, so you could switch between F/B/G modes at will. I would have been super happy with that, even if it is basically just switching between side scrolling , top down scrolling, rear view scrolling etc. 2) If the weapons (Gunpod, missiles, head lasers, beam cannons etc) had a bit more closely followed the anime for each VF). Same for enemies as well. 3) If there had been the option to equip FAST Packs & Full Armour for some stages. 4) If there had been more playable VFs that could be unlocked.

    I'm primarily a fighter mode guy and my display percentage for my toys is something like 75% in fighter mode, 20% in Battroid mode and 5% in GERWALK mode,

    On the fence about getting the English language version. I've had the Japanese PS4 version since release and it is a pretty piss poor game. I think I played it 3 times and to be honest I've very little interest in going back to it.

    DYRL is my all time favorite anime movie and all time favorite Macross anime, so I'm really looking forward to getting this release.

    Damaged head lasers aside, the other things that really annoy me about the Bandai DX YF-21 and spoil my enjoyment of the toy are: The too short nose in fighter mode. Excessive and IMO ugly tampo printing, especially all those additional stripes that were never in the anime or line art. They just really bug me for some reason. Incorrect front of canopy sculpt, it's missing that V cut out from the line art. The huge shelf behind the head in battroid mode. The silly removable clip. the shit quality of the FAST packs.

    I'm still hoping we eventually get an HMR VF-17D/S & VF-11C/D / VF-11C Armored. I would be really excited to see Bandai's take on the VF-17 and VF-11. To be honest, I'd much rather have those than the proposed VF-17T and VF-11MAXL. VF-17D/S and VF-11C are among my all time favorite VF designs. And waiting for news of release of VF-19S/F/P HMR which should be a no brainer to milk the mold.

    It's not perfect, but I have to say I really enjoyed Alien Romulus. It's definitely my 3rd favorite Alien movie, after of course Alien and Aliens. I've watched it twice at the theatre, the first time in IMAX. In fact, I'm considering to watch it a third time, again in IMAX.

    Picked up my 2 HMR VF-19 Kai yesterday. Only taken one out of the box so far and not transformed it ye, but have played with it a bit in battroid mode and really happy with it so far.

    The toy shop I pre-ordered it from said it's arriving today. ☺️ Can't wait. I really hope Bandai milks the mold and gives us HMR VF-19S/F/P.

    Just spent money on tools for repair...... Sigh.

    I'll be trying this soon. Just need to pick up a 1mm drill bit.

    I just broke my head sensor in that exact same place, trying to get it into the correct position for fighter mode. 😭 My fault for not being careful or patient enough and not studying it enough first. I swear I hardly used any force though and it just snapped while I was trying to turn it.

    Exactly, that's how I watched anime back in my teens and 20s, either on bootleg raw Japanese VHS tapes with no subs or on Japanese Laserdiscs with no subs, from the rental stores here at the time back in the 80s. Honestly, I don't think I've every watched any anime dubbed. I mean I've tried, but never made it more than a few minutes into any dub.

    One of the best Macross box art ever!

    So far here in Hong Kong, Disney+ has added the 3 Frontier movies & the 2 Delta movies on 12th July. The Frontier TV series and Delta TV series were just added a day or two ago. Still no sign of Macross 7 TV series though😭

    Th Bandai 1/65 VF-17D/S are still one of my all-time favorite Macross toys. I've always loved Macross 7 TV series and the VF-17 design. Gamlin was my favorite character. The Bandai VF-17 toy is super rugged, even more so in my experience than the 1/55 VF-1 Chunky Monkey . I own about 10 Bandai VF-17 since they were first released in what 1995 and I have yet to have one ever break, despite the fact that they are all plastic with no diecast parts. Even with my son throwing them across the room when he was a child, they didn't break. They are super quick and fun to transform and actually look surprisingly good in all modes, apart from the fighter mode side profile which is too thick. (look great from top down view in fighter mode though). Only other downside is he terrible landing gear. I was actually really disappointed with the Yamato VF-17 toy. I really felt it didn't capture the spirit of the VF-17 very well. Sorry for the sidetrack away from the Bandai YF-21 DX.

    It's great that they give us a spare for the Super Pack antenna.

    Available on Disney+ here in Hong Kong from today.☺️

    What happened to the VF-5000? Is it vaporware?
  24. Graham
    0080 is probably my all-time favourite UC era OVA.

    As a huge fan of DYRL and the VT-1 I'm super excited for this DX 1/48 release. Makes me think back to my days in the early-to-mid 90s of trying to track down the Bandai 1/55 VT-1 and really regretting not snagging it when I saw it in a shop in Hong Kong in 86 or 87.
