  1. Yay, Macross 7, Macross II and Macross Zero just added to D+ here in Hong Kong.
  2. Don't think I'd watch this i the theatre, but may give it a watch on D+.
  3. I'm actually kinda digging the look of the Battroid mode as an alternate universe take on the VF-1 design. The VF-1S Battroid and GBP Armor VF-1J look pretty damn good in my opinion. But yeah, fighter mode really sucks. I think I'd be up for getting 1 each of these and just keeping them in Battroid mode.
  4. I wish Bandai would re-issue the Chronos.
  5. I would have definitely bought those. Heck, I'd buy them now if Bandai released them.
  6. Yeah, same. It's the box and the display stand that are different IIRC, but yeah still can't justify when I already have the first release.
  7. Currently re-watching Frontier on Disney+ and it just blows my mind that it's already 16 years ago since Frontier was first released. Where does the time go? To me it feels like like just a few years since Frontier came out.
  8. Looks interesting, but annoying that there is still a gap for dust ingress between the two clear panels. Something that IKEA never seams to be able to solve on their various display cabinets.
  9. Gotta say I'm loving the HMR VF-19. It's such an awesome little toy. Originally planned to buy 2, but just bought a third.😅 I'm really hoping we do get more Macross 7 HMR toys. Given how good the HMR Fire Valkyrie is, I'd really like to see Bandai make an HMR YF-19, as I'm not a huge fan of their DX effort.
  10. Same here in Hong Kong, all those added a couple of weeks ago.
  11. But the movies kinda redeem the TV series. I especially love the second Delta movie.
  12. Recent DX releases have all been matt, so I would kinda expect this to be matt as well. Personally it doesn't bother me. I'm quite happy with how it looks in the photos. But that's just me.
  13. I'm gonna get one of these to keep in fighter mode. Would have preferred a Ba, or Mirage movie version Ba.
  14. I've gotta say, out of the 3 recent Bandai Macross toy releases: the DX YF-21, DX VT-1 and HMR VF-19Kai, the HMR VF-19Kai is definitely my favorite of the 3. It's just such a fun toy and looks great in all 3 modes, transforms easily and has no potential broken parts issues out of the box, unlike the other two toys. And it's a great replacement for my old Yamato VF-19Kai toys that suffered broken elbow joints (I never got the Arcadia releases). Being a huge Macross 7 fan, I'm really hoping for a full range of Macross 7 HMR toys from Bandai.
  15. I still want a DX VF-31AX Arad & Chuck to finish the team.
  16. As it is, it's juts basically a pretty bad and boring shoot em Up, that just happens to have a Macross skin.
  17. 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.
  18. 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,
  19. 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.
  20. DYRL is my all time favorite anime movie and all time favorite Macross anime, so I'm really looking forward to getting this release.
  21. 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.
  22. 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.
  23. Ohhh......a new Fire Bomber single!!!!!! Cant wait. Bomba!!!!
