    Looks like the average selling price for unopened samples is inching up from the early lows.....currently just a bit more than 40,000 JPY....the hype is real... https://auctions.yahoo.co.jp/closedsearch/closedsearch?p=DX超合金+VF-1J+バルキリー+CHOGOKIN+50th&va=DX超合金+VF-1J+バルキリー+CHOGOKIN+50th&istatus=1&b=1&n=60&select=5

    Bandai should satisfy the "Chunky Monkey" itch by re-releasing the real Chunky Monkey in some DYRL editions for the film's 40th anniversary...a reissue of the VE-1 and/or VT-1 would be an insta-buy for me...including using the same boxart as the original releases!

    True...SD/Chibi stuff are meant to look as they do all along....it's a niche... This garbage was designed, I would imagine, to "look cool"....but they come off as the worst of fanfic designs at best...but I guess even garbage can be a niche.... This company took a chance with these designs knowing there would be some buyers that would be oddly attracted to them....for that they do deserve some credit.....they will corner the market on trash designed VF-1s!....

    You nailed it....that is what these remind me of...the worst possible fanfic Robotech VF-1 illustration brought to life!

    Seems like just yesterday that this HMR line got started....but it's been almost 9 years! ....and I'm still waiting for an HMR Tomahawk and Phalanx....any day now we'll get that PO announcement!

    16...or 14 if you want to get technical and not count the VT-1 and VE-1... https://tamashiiweb.com/item_brand/hi-metal_r/1/?sa=JAPAN&character=macross_series&order=release&ck1=1&ck2=1&ck3=1&ck4=1&ck5=1&number=40&ok=Filter+by+this+condition&wovn=ja#gi_productlist

    Same....although I have not seen any pics of the Zentran pilot....I guess there is not much one can do with these POs at this point...I did reply asking about the figures, not sure if they will respond with anything before shipping them out.....I'll have mine soon
  12. jvmacross
    This one too....

    If you attach the fists...they can fold into the arm...so technically it's as PT as a Yamato or Bandai DX... I don't own any other Three Zero toys so not sure if wratcheted joints are not their thing.....maybe someone who is more familiar with their toys can confirm.... Mine is still holding up just fine since it's initial release and I have transformed it numerous times....the biggest weakness is that loose bit at the waist....not sure how well the same piece is holding up on the DX as I seldom transform the 2 I have opened....just don't care for the scale thus not as interested in fiddling around with it to find out...

    If the Fugu Jetfire is anything like other KO 1\60 VFs....then yes....you would be dissapointed....I have a KO 1\60 SSP VF-1S and IMO it is better than a "legit" 1\72 KC VF-1.....with that said...if you just wanted to have both on a static display as a testament to the audacity of KO purveyors these days...it would be a fun display....
  16. jvmacross
    If you are someone that likes to admire your Macross toys on a shelf or display cabinet...they don't look too bad from afar....if you like to transform them often, then look elsewhere....they are on the delicate side....for me, I like them enough to collect canon schemes....the "jetfire" looks good but there are fitment issues in fighter mode, which is the weakest mode on all of KC's VF-1's...especially when mounted with Super Packs...at least after the lone VF-1J V 2.0 release....the hope, at least for me, was to also have Enemy Mecha, Destroids, and Zentradi figures from their 6" line to compliment their VF's at their scale....but that hope seems to be diminishing fast....

    New Regult video posted to the KC FB page.... https://m.facebook.com/kitzconcept/ ...and some obvious Mr. K style teases....at this point KC should just focus on getting the Regults and Zentran pilots shipped... Anyone find an actual "review" of the Regult from the alleged Chinese release?

    Definitely not placing any additional pre-orders.... I am still looking forward to the Regults....they look good from the few pics that have been posted... They are definitely running out of "canon" paint schemes....so they may be reaching their end anyway....at this point I do not see them doing a VF-1D...maybe they can finally release the Alaska base VF-1's before they bow out....

    Saw it this weekend...had it's moments but for the most part it didn't work for me.... I liked the flashback-origin scene, my favorite of the entire movie...it was perfect...but the rest just seemed like it was just rehashing the original... The ending was kind of a mess....but definitely left everything open for a third movie....
  21. jvmacross
    Yeah...would be nice if something could have been released for the 40th DYRL Anniversary....but after google translating the blurb...seems the writer of the article just cobbled one together using the SSP from the old school Bandai Hi-Metal 1/55 release from...one can still hope...
  22. jvmacross
    Interesting...guess they gave up on it working for the HCM and applied the pull-back 'walking' action to the Paro Valkyrie? ...actually, it may be the other way around, as the Paro's were released before the HCM....but the HCM was 'conceived' under Takatoku's watch but sadly they went BK before they had a chance to release it....too bad Bandai, at the time, did not do much with their newly acquired Macross licenses....imagine HCM Super O's and Elint's...
  23. jvmacross
    As of now....I have all regult variations on PO....the Hikaru GBP....and the Arcade Set w/Milia.....going to be a long wait to get all these POs fullfilled....but as other have already stated....PO-ing anything else from them is no longer an option for me....the first thing that came up that I skipped on po-ing was the Focker GBP armor.... And recently they threatened to go the Kickstarter route for the Destroids and Glaug.....why? They claim to own their own production facility now...they can produce based on deposits-po's made...if they get enough they proceed......oh wait....they abused that process and can no longer rely on it...not sure how a Kickstarter would be any different...it probably would be worse...
  24. jvmacross
    I just thought it was showing the transformation points...haven't had a chance to Google translate it
  25. jvmacross
    There was supposed to be a Focker 1\55 strike? Also some of the HCM lineart seems previously unpublished...
