NEVER! Well.....sometimes......but is has to be Macross-related......and sort of cool......and not horribly expensive......and only if I am indirectly paying HG...

Sweet poster...congrats! I've had that one hanging on a wall at my house for the past 13 years.... Now you need to go find the other two styles of DYRL movie posters....

http://hk.on.cc/hk/bkn/cnt/lifestyle/20170310/bkn-20170310150715634-0310_00982_001.html Google translate is rough...but it looks to be maybe 300 units??? (3 digits) A limited item to be released for some toy shop in HK it seems.

So is anyone here buying these? Post some pics....we won't judge you... http://m.ebay.com/itm/Kitz-Concept-Robotech-VF-1A-Standard-Limited-Edition-Figure-/232279157371?_trkparms=aid%3D222007%26algo%3DSIC.MBE%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D20150519202348%26meid%3D24fb7a31c0e54ac4aa015d45b3a69541%26pid%3D100408%26rk%3D1%26rkt%3D25%26mehot%3Dlo%26sd%3D192141056652&_trksid=p2056116.c100408.m2460

That's what the club is for!

I have enjoyed every issue, so as long as they keep releasing them...I'll keep buying them!

Cool....Dang tiny japanese hands got me worried for a second..... Hi-Metal R(espect)!

The Spartan and Defender seem to be a bit taller than they should be in scale to the VF-1. Or maybe those guys just have small hands? They should be shorter than the VF-1 in battroid... Guess we'll find out soon enough....

Opened one....she's a perfect 10! Well.....guess I just have one more Toynami left to retire.....hopefully Bandai will show us something this summer!

I do not use mine in offline mode....not sure if that is controlling the storage of the translated japanese text

When I snap a pic....it not only translates it....but also converts the image into the japanese text and stores it...maybe check your settings

If you find something better that can use the phone's camera to translate text...let us know! Oh, and I had to look up what you meant by "Backstroke of the West"...lol

Cool...if you do not have the others sometimes they are available (used) on Mandarake at less than the original cover price....plus if you bundle up on them you can always save on shipping regardless of where you buy them from....for best shipping to the US, I go with Amazon.jp.

When the Makurosu came out.....I was hoping it would kickstart a wave of other 3rd party releases.....instead, we got the sheety SD VF-1's that no one wanted except HG.....sadly, that failure (starting and continuing with SD versions) has lead to what may have been interpreted by the 3P shops in China as a lack of intetest in original Macross releases......so here we are instead at the new age of Macross KO's...

Was the box intentionally designed so they are facing opposite directions?....if so....pretty clever!

40% off at ami ami.....but the shipping is monstrously high....I would like a few more but the price needs to come closer to 120 usd to offset the 50 or 60 shipping cost....forgot what amiami was charging to ship these but they were among the highest....still....if you don't have any....their price can't be beat for a MISB...unless you can find one on auction....

Look at it this way...the Monster is going way cheap now....think I saw it for $140 somewhere....that should offset the extra you will need to pay for the GBP....the rest should be available for close to MSRP.......and everything is easily still available.....

Cool, thanks! Yeah, clearly it has trouble with technical material. But, for my needs and how I like to use it, it is a fantastic tool for helping me derive more value from my Macross printed media beyond just "looking at the pics". I think that is why many Macross fans/collectors do not bother with the books and video. If they cannot read or understand what is being said, they feel they are not getting the "full value" from their purchase. Which is why now we are seeing official Macross video releases with English subs and, also, a major Macross book release with some text translated into English. In terms of Macross printed items, I think the Google translate tools provide additional value by providing "some" translation instead of having none at all. Until we get more officially translated Macross books, which will probably not happen often...all I can do is hope for the machine translation technology to get better over time. If I had the time or interest, I suppose I could learn to read Japanese....but, at my current stage in life, I do not see that happening. The Google translate tool is the best thing that I could have hoped for, in terms of my Macross printed media collection and, like all technology, it can only get better over time. I went from spending hours to seconds in translating certain text from my Macross books. And that is definitely a good thing.

That's what screwed Arcadia and countless other companies....everything is produced in china.....it's like handing over car keys to car valets who turn out to be car thieves on the side
