Definitely getting 1 in B4. size. Kinda tempted to also get 1 in A4 also. 😅

My Bandai DX VF-1J with GBP-1S Armor set also includes the Battroid egress seat.
-
It's common with the DX line. 2 out of my 5 DX VF-1 toys came with loose cockpit instrument panels.
-
Just saw an announcement on Facebook that the release date has been delayed until January 25th, 2024. ðŸ˜

Just the lighting from my phone camera's flash.

So, anybody else having trouble getting the wings tabbed all the way into the legs in fighter mode? Especially the left wing.
-
Only issue with my recently purchased Mirage VF-31AX is that one of the arm railguns is angled a bit downward in fighter mode. Apart from that the toy is fine.

'First time I've ever seen a Valk wearing roller skates!🤣

I know I'm very late to the game, but after a 6 year hiatus from all things Macross, I finally decided to get myself some Bandai DX VF-1 this in the past month. 😅 Got VF-1S Hikaru + Strike Parts + missile set, VF-1D, VF-1A Kakizaki and VF-1J Hikaru + GBP-1S Armor. Really nice toys. My only complaint is the way the arms and legs peg into the toy in fighter mode is not really secure enough with the Super/Strike Parts installed.

The box art is new Tenjin art. It's not in any book yet.
-
On both my HMR VF-0D the wings cannot peg in all the way into the legs in fighter mode. The pegs only go about halfway into the leg slots. I think the pegs or tabs (whatever you want to call them) are slightly oversize. I may need to try carefully filling down the peg/tabs on the wings.
-
Wait, you want tires on your DX VF-1???? That'll be a web exclusive for 10,000Yen 🤣
-
At this point with the DX VF-1 series, I'm surprised that Bandai doesn't sell us the FAST packs piece by piece or the missiles, missile-by-missile as Tamashi exclusives, LOL😅 Peasants......Just count yourselves lucky that we actually get a pilot figure with the Valk, not as a paid web-exclusive, limited edition extra! Hahaha I really shouldn't be giving them ideas.😂

Living in Hong Kong, I'm kinda worried about the "excluding China" comment.....sigh.
-
Any VF-5000 toy is welcome, but I'd personally prefer a VF-5000B, rather than a VF-5000G.
-
Yes, and edited my original post.
-
TH VF-1S has more HP than the YF-19 and a better rolling stat......hmmm?

New Macross Animation Announced, to be animated by Sunrise
Graham replied to seti88's topic in Movies and TV Series
Delta also had the downside that 9 in a row (after episode 13) had no mecha or almost no mecha scenes. -
I love Frontier, it's my second favorite Macross TV series after 7.

I used to love playing Philosoma on the PS1 back in the day. So it's good news for me if this game plays like Philosoma.

New Macross Animation Announced, to be animated by Sunrise
Graham replied to seti88's topic in Movies and TV Series
I think it will be interesting to see how Sunrise handle a Macross show. As long as it is better than Delta, I'll be happy. But that is a pretty low bar, so it shouldn't be difficult. Hopefully there is a decent budget allocated to it and we get some good animation quality and and a fair amount of mecha action. I'm fine with Macross animes always being based on the standard 3 pillars of music, mecha and a love triangle, but at least give me 5 minutes of mecha action per 20 + minute episode. The thing I hated most about Delta is that after Messer died in episode 13, we had no mecha action at all until episode 24 IIRC. I remember week after week hoping for some mecha action, but there was nothing. Heck I'll even settle for just 2 minutes of mecha per episode as long as it's well animated. My guess is that Sunrise will go somewhere back in the timeline, rather than do a post-Delta show. -
Hard pass, not digging the sculpt.

Given that I missed out on the original Bandai DX YF-19 release (although I have the VF-19 Advance), I'm looking forward to this new reissue of the YF-19, even if it is missing most of the accessory parts. But I really hope that Bandai have tightened up the wing joints, or got rid of the high-speed mode. As I hated the loose wings caused by the high-speed mode mid-wing hinge joint.

After 6 years away from Macross (for various reasons), I'm just stating to get back in and collect some of the toys I missed during my hiatus. I picked up the VF-31AX Kairos Plus last week and I have to say I'm pretty happy with it. I haven't transformed it yet, it's staying in Fighter mode so far, but looks great in my opinion. My only complaint so far is the gap behind the cockpit, which can be massaged away to a certain extent, but tends to open up again once you actually pick up and handle the toy. I love that it is a more heavily armed, combat-oriented version of the VF-31 with micro-missiles instead of drones in the leg bays and larger arm-mounted rail guns and a beam gun mission pack instead of the drone charger.

I wish Big West would offer the option to purchase high-resolution digital downloads with English subtitles of all the various Macross animes, internationally To be honest, given the limited storage space I have and also the fact that from my experience in the country I live, DVDs and Blu-Ray discs tend to either scratch and become unreadable or deteriorate due to the heat and humidity here within a decade of purchasing and become unreadable. These days I far prefer buying digital downloads, rather than expensive and relatively fragile physical discs, with their limited lifespan.
