  1. Soon you'll have to buy a Detolf to display all of your Yeti-Stands with Valks on them... then another to stuff full of HMRs... just like the rest of us!
  2. the F-104 Starfighter
  3. if the 'regular' VF-22S was just re-popped, this would make sense...
  4. yea, I'm nitpicking, but for real: that's 26 discs, 2 aluminium coins [not even enough to display all four faces!], and some 'cool in 1995' hologram cards for [at today's conversion rate] $1,023.58 Canadian... then shipping and taxes at the border... and what uberfan that will purchase this needs an episode guide? in Hardcover no less? oh, and a box so oddly-shaped, which as far as I can recall has nothing to do with any design element from the show, that it doesn't look like it'll fit on a shelf. There's simply no justifying this for me... as I said, when the less insanely priced Discs-only set comes out I'll gladly batter my wallet for it: ~$400 for a set of these, plus the $400 discs only set [I assume it'll be around that] is a far more impressive haul and I'll save about $200.... Or I could only save $100 and toss in a Brunhilde, Barbarossa and Hyperion in 1/8000 [approx 6"] off of shapeways... Power to those who do get the Collector's set though, despite my complaining I'm super jealous.
  5. I'm desperately resisting these... I love me some Tomcat, but I have such a build pile I'll never get around to doing a group of 'em in Macross Livery... ....................................................... decisions......................
  6. I think that about nailed it.
  7. Qualifier: the English dub of Mac2 is the worst, it's just simply unbearable... the Sub of Mac2 I enjoyed more than Delta... but in my personal rating scheme Delta gets a C- overall.
  8. I've suffered through worse anime/movies/etc... but not worse Macross... love the Mecha though!

    I ran into that same Issue! I ended up grabbing a Trident for my VF-2SS and now have a surplus.... I need 4 more HMRs to fill my available Stage Act 5 stands Indeed...

    Hi-Metal R

    https://hlj.com/product/BANR63155 That's a three-pack btw.
  11. Well... I'd say the LoGH set is indisputably more value for the money, but $800?! that crap's just out of line... even going by total runtime compared to other premium releases, $300-$400 would be sane
  12. Jesus... there's just no justifying that if it doesn't at least come with [rather large for that price] models of Brunhilde and Hyperion I'm disgusted at how tempted I am to order one though............

    only till 2021...
  14. I thought I got a little carried away with 4! lol
  15. That's what I get for Caving and picking up a DX VF-31C last week... ah well
  16. Haha. Fair enough. No fightin' words intended... it's just that that's my favorite scene in all of Macross, so I couldn't resist Not having any DX29s I'll take your word, as I'm certain I'd echo your point if my Yammie YF-19 were Gloss instead of matte. I must say the '29 design didn't do much for me, but the more I see them, the more the design grows on me.
  17. ... but the '19 is supposed to be Glossy? My Pretty Girl! At least before Isamu scratches/scuffs/beats the @#$!^ out of her by being Isamu...
  18. That's Really Nice! this build is continually inspiring.
  19. to get AN interior into her? No, shouldn't be that hard. To get an interior that looks right/good? well... The various Falcons [there were several individual models] all suffer from "Jupiter 2 Syndrome" [like the eponymous ship form Lost in Space, the interior sets wouldn't quite fit in the presented exterior dimensions] so you run into a few issues of things not just looking, but really being too small by proportion... but that's only a problem if you're a strict adherent to the cannon dimensions, I suppose. Some folks [like the ones at [QMx] have gone to great lengths to make an interior not only fit, but also look spectacular [I'll leave it to the interested parties to compare this interior to the Cutaways book]: an in 1/80 she'd be pretty darn close to 1/72
  20. As another relative newcomer to the Toy realm in general, that's great advice. I do a lot of window shopping, and constantly have to restrain my wants down to within my practical limits. also: the thrill of finding a solid deal here on the for sale section is becoming mildly addictive!
  21. I can hear the inspiration for voices, definitely. Yoko Kanno is also known for... "homage" to other music in her writing
  22. Well as soon as Wave ships the VF-4 I'm planning on purchasing one of your New-issue battle-pods a month, so why not add a N-Ger to the backend of the list? also thanks for the heads-up about Zentradi Figures, even MORE to spend!
  23. Take my money! will it come with a Zentradi figure?
  24. A loss for the entire species to be sure. Godspeed on the Grand Adventure Dr. Hawking!
  25. That's a top-tip right there.
