Just finished watching Macross Delta..... The best thing to come from it is the possibility for some VF's we have not had before... a DX VF-9..... ALL of Sound Force, preferably in DX, but would take HMR too!..... I wonder if Arcadia exhausted their Macross 7 license with their last VF-19 Kai release? Hope so.... Plus they can also give us more VB-6 repaints....a DX VF-22...and, of course, the prophesized DX VF-1! I can see Bandai even making a VF-0/SV-51..... ...but maybe in the HMR scale as 1/60 scale seems tied up with Arcadia at the moment...... Also, it was sort of confusing....on the desk of Capt. Ernest Johnson was a "TV" style SDF-1....(1/3000 or.........1/1800???) yet in a flashback scene on one of the final episodes...the SDF-1 is portrayed as a "DYRL" type..... and they even showed the ASS-1 in it's pre-crash state! Fingers crossed that they make all three!!! Prefer them in 1/3000...but I'll take them as Cosmo Fleet Specials! Oh...and we already have the HMR Focker VF-1S......may as well get the HMR Hikaru and Max DYRL VF-1A's! And may as well throw in the Kakizaki! I won't even get started on the Zentradi mechs......plus maybe they will finally release this!

Draken renewal in a couple of years?

Black Friday....you're our only hope! 30% off at AmiAmi last I checked....need 40% to seriously contemplate....50% to pull the trigger.....

The illustrator is Yuji Kaida... ...he also did the boxart for the other Bandai Macross Hi-Metal toys.... http://www.macrossworld.com/mwf/index.php?showtopic=29133&p=1188344

Such an awesome Macross collectible line....hope Bandai doesn't abandon it this time....still too much SDFM/DYRL left for Bandai to do... I knew this pic looked familiar........R = Respect * The picture is for nostalgic purposes only. And here is the original illustration they are most definitely recreating..... Tenjin paying some more homage to old school Macross on that VF-1J boxart....even included the gunpod strap!!!

Getting forgettful in my old age...maybe I'll make up for my memory lapse by posting a ton of pics from the first 2 Sortie books!!!

TV-Kun, August 1984...... Another Masami DYRL illustration!

LOL....I need to dig the first two up again! thanks!

Relax... It's only a few pics....there are way more in the book...think of it as a free ad....those on the fence may decide it is worth buying....those with no intention to do so aren't getting that much for free...

TV-Kun, May 1984.....

If no more Macross...the line just just lost my "R".....

Welcome to the VFMF Owners Club

Based on this list.... Phalanx and Defender may be Tamashii Web... Same for Super O and TV Max and Kakizaki -1A's... I hope Bandai has enough love left for big Macross mechs after the Monster and Glaug....if so a TV Q-Rau is coming!

Another challenge for sh9000..... Recreate that famous SDFM episode where Max is given the mission to clear out a division of Zentradi mecha at Alaska base! One of the top ten episodes for sure! The most memorable part being Max's customized arctic weather VF-1J with ski attachments! Can't wait for the HMR version...most likely a Tamashii Web exclusive!

TV-Kun, March 1984.....

It's not bad....but with some determination, patience and luck...you could possibly save around 50 usd if you found one via YJA...even after fees and international shipping... Perhaps it's just my eyes, but the one on Anime-Export looks a little yellowed...you may want to inquire about it before purchasing it...if you decide to go for it...good luck!
