  1. With the exception for SDFM and DYRL....all Macross series are no longer "Japan Market" only....
  2. Probably not the best VF to test the mettle of most collectors during these economic times.... It could be worse though.....imagine it being the announcement of the DX Elintseeker.....still worth it with a 245% tax for US Collectors?
  3. LOL....is going to the Disney parks that out of reach financially these days that they need to release "official" POV videos? With that said...why wait until May 4th?
  4. https://comicbookmovie.com/tv/star-wars/star-wars-maul---shadow-lord-animated-tv-series-starring-sam-witwer-officially-set-for-2026-release-a218782#gs.l5r8zl
  5. Does the VF used for the logo mean anything? The current WWM logo features the 19, 29 and 25....all non SDFM and DYRL VF's.... Probably just a bait and switch maneuver....but one can "hope" for some interesting developments...
  6. Under normal circumstances....this would become clearance fodder....with the current tariff nonsense....if Bandai is fearful of the "Made in China" ramifications....it's possible it may limit WWM availability to US customers knowing that not too many US collectors would be willing to potentially be on the hook for a 245% tax on it upon arrival at US Customs.....Hopefully, the whole tariff situation gets resolved soon... With that said, I'm good with my Original Yamato VF-19 Kai with Super Parts....plus I was able to grab the set of Fire Bomber 1/60 figs too a long while ago....more importantly....skinny-legged Macross 7 DX'S are an easy pass...everyone knows them legs need to be thicc....
  7. I don't think most kids and teens care for Star Wars these days....to get that crowd packed into the theatres, Lucasfilm needs to get tiktokers to start creating memes for the movie asap...worked for Minecraft! https://www.reddit.com/r/StarWars/comments/1k1uyk7/star_wars_celebration_mandalorian_and_grogu/
  8. Rejoice! As our addictions to plastic and hi-metal crack will soon be cured for us all..... https://amp-cnn-com.cdn.ampproject.org/v/s/amp.cnn.com/cnn/2025/04/15/business/hong-kong-suspends-postal-service-to-us-intl-hnk?amp_js_v=0.1&amp_gsa=1#webview=1
  9. It all depends on how aggressive customs will get.....a brown shipping box from Japan in theory should get the Japanese tarrif.....some US custom guys looking to get employee of the month may open the same box for inspection and see a toy with packaging that says "Made in China".....what happens next may cost you more than double what you paid...
  10. Some Chinese companies have been evading US tarrifs by outsourcing their manufacturing to places like Vietnam....thus why Vietnam is getting hit hard too....so it will be interesting to see how deep the US will dig to tack on tarrifs on any merch "made in China"....and/or "for China"....the weak Yen was nice while it lasted....now we'll be back to probably the same high prices or worse....
  11. Who really knows why Bandai has yet to release those long teased figures....but I can't imagine our current economic climate being very encouraging for Bandai to finally pull the trigger on any of them....I'll patiently keep waiting....and try and stay optimistic on the KC releases....
