    Hi-Metal R

    I never used to like the HMR line, but have recently gotten into them in a big way and been expanding my HMR collection and really started appreciating them. The good thing is can fit far more of them on a shelf compared to 1/60 or 1/48 toys. I'm really looking forward to the upcoming VF-19 Fire Valkyrie HMR that has been teased. Also, as a big Macross 7 fan I'm hoping eventually for more Macross 7 HMR toys, especially a VF-17D/S and VF-11C, although I realise that's probably a long shot. But my current Holy Grail for an HMR would by the DYRL type Nousjadeul-Ger. As a huge DYRL fan I've wanted a toy of that for sooooooo long.

    BANDAI DX YF-19!!

    Yeah, these reissue pin point punch effects really look like 2 fried eggs. I think I will never use them when I get the toy. Wish it came with missiles instead.
  3. At my age (nearly 54), I kinda feel embarrassed to wear most anime related clothing, especially the jackets posted in this thread, However, I would wear both these T-shirts.
  4. So, what is next on everybody's DX VF-1 wish list, after the release of the Hikaru VF-1S with clear Strike/Super Parts? For me, I really want: VF-1A TV Cannon Fodder VT-1 VE-1 VF-1A Hikaru DYRL VF-1A Max DYRL VF-1S Max DYRL
  5. Started putting my HG YF-29 kit together at the weekend. Just doing a simple build, no paint, no panel lining, just snap it together and slap the stickers on. Got the battroid mode head, torso, groin arms and legs built so far. It's actually a fun little kit to build and although the YF-29 is actually one of my least favorite Valk designs, I've gotta say the kit actually looks pretty good so far.

    Hi-Metal R

    I only have one HMR CF VF-1A that I picked up last week. 😅 I love that it comes with the DYRL green flight suit pilot
  7. Unless auditions have already been done in secrecy. Or.......they are going to break tradition and not have idol singer or band this time. Doubtful I know as the music usually sells really well. Or, they are going to bring back existing an singer, so no need an audition.
  8. It's unknown at this stage, but my guess is going to be no. But being a scrolling shoot-em-up game, I doubt the game will have complicated controls or menu system, so likely the Japanese version will not be difficult to figure out. But personally, I planning to buy both the Japanese version and the international release.
  9. Nope. First episode of Macross Plus OVA released August 1994. First episode of Macross 7 TV series released October 1994.
  10. I've just pre-ordered the Japanese PS4 version from Amazon.jp/
  11. Gonna get one. As my old one yellowed, so I threw it out. But I really hope they have improved the removeable wing peg and the black triangles. Overall, I remember being incredibly excited for the VF-171 toys when they were first announced, and then being extremely frustrated with all the issues that the toys had once they were released. And yes, we need a reissue of the Ozma VF-25S and Armored Pack.
  12. Hi-Metal R, Damn, I'm in.
  13. From all the photos I've seen so far of the Threezero VF-1J, the large chest vents and weird head sculpt just don't do it for me, so I don't think I'm going to be picking one up. Happy enough at the moment with the Bandai DX and HMR for my VF-1 needs. I even got rid of most of my old Yamato 1/48 and 1/60 v2 in the last few years as most of the ones with white plastic had yellowed to some degree.
  14. Hoping that on this release they may finally have changed the tab design so that the arms and legs lock more securely in place in fighter mode. But I'm probably expecting way too much. 😅
  15. Definitely getting 1 in B4. size. Kinda tempted to also get 1 in A4 also. 😅
  16. My Bandai DX VF-1J with GBP-1S Armor set also includes the Battroid egress seat.
  17. It's common with the DX line. 2 out of my 5 DX VF-1 toys came with loose cockpit instrument panels.
  18. Just saw an announcement on Facebook that the release date has been delayed until January 25th, 2024. 😭
  19. Just the lighting from my phone camera's flash.
  20. So, anybody else having trouble getting the wings tabbed all the way into the legs in fighter mode? Especially the left wing.
  21. 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.
  22. 'First time I've ever seen a Valk wearing roller skates!🤣
  23. 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.
  24. The box art is new Tenjin art. It's not in any book yet.
