  1. No, the full conversation is that the license between Arcadia and Big West is solely for Japan release only. I bothered pressing them on it.
  2. That purple gunpod stands out. Should have hone with the cf grey.
  3. Those 19 boosters are the worst... Unless there's an extra clamp or they're SUPER tight (I can't imagine Bandai will have suddenly learned to make their accessories LIGHTER) we're guaranteed to have questionable attachments. You really wouldn't want something that heavy hanging off a tiny mount like that the whole time.
  4. I think the ages of the kids/grandkids wouldn't work out if GB2 existed or something like that.
  5. Good shot, but that's a bad idea. The Lil Drakens already don't hold great on the 262 or the adapter for the previous 31. Those boosters are even larger and the Armored versions are larger still. They're going to be falling off every time you look at them.
  6. Where can you pre-order this?
  7. Loks like 100Mega answered my question in the AX Hayate thread. This pic has the super parts on and it looks like it just ports into the slot with nothing else holding and it just rotates. That seems like a precarious option for the armor parts, hopefully it’s a modified version of the old part with the option to fold the boosters down. That would hold a lot better.
  8. The previous wing attachments were done really well. That new attachment looks like how the lil drakens fit on the 262/31 mod. I.e. crap.
  9. If they can make a proper, good, TV SDF-1 I'll buy it. Unless they want to start making 1/60 enemy Mecha. ThreeZero are better at fixed posed type Robots.

    It's interesting they're making it a set. Like they just want to get the damn things out of the way.
  11. I still don't know why they never demo these things in Gerwalk. It's hard to tell but it looks like they're using fixed pose hands on the demo unit there.
  12. Here's D Amazing's Psylocke review.
  13. I think he's just showing the release date.

    Looks like I just got Bandai'd. While dusting off my Macross cabinets I went to move one of the HMR Regults. The knee joint no longer holds, the body falls and one of the mini-guns on the bottom of the pod snapped off.
  15. I'm not so sure about that. In the trailer the Boosters on Hayates Valk are clearly rotated like the newer packs function. In terms of the toy they might be able to make a minor change to the attachment point but essentially keep the rest that same. It looks like the configuration is the same. The missiles are on the outside and the boosters are stacked on top of each other so the whole pack hasn't been rotated so it's likely just a modified mounting point.
  16. Were only four of them armored in the latest film?

    Is this response in relation to a 1/3000 SDFM SDF-1? Because acquiring one from Japan might not be difficult per se, but the TV version is more popular world wide. There's a reason why Arcadia hasn't made one yet, because Japan doesn't want it. If there's still a perceived barrier to release to the rest of the world for SDFM then there will never be any additional demand for and SDFM version that can be applied and it won't get made.
  18. People have been speculating because the VF-0 is a "Roy" version that they can't release the HMR version here. I wonder, because there's nothing tying the design to the original series, if they would get away with releasing the SV-51's and the other 0D's and 0A's because they don't have any of those markings or name associations? Unless the Kite holds up the 0's.

    I don't recall HMR's ever being that difficult to come by. My one issue with things still being Japan-only is that we're never going to see a 1/3000 SDFM SDF-1 at this point.
  20. EntertainmentEarth has it up now too. https://www.entertainmentearth.com/product/macross-frontier-vf25-messiah-valkyrie-worldwide-anniversary-dx-chogokin-action-figure/blfbas63272 I reached out to both BBTS and EntertainmentEarth about the possibility of stocking the previous two 31AX valks as well. We’ll see what they say. Hayate is a guaranteed no. Mirage, maybe, if production schedules aren’t already finalized. I think if we start hitting these conpanies with questions about the other releases they can teport back to Bluefin to hit up their Japanese contacts about additional interest they may not be aware of. And possibly the greatest thing about all of this is those ebay scalpers can all suck it.
