Now on to the ladies. The flesh tones on the collection 3 figures are better...more natural looking and less plastic like. Paint applications are also better and neater.

Max figures...side view and face shields on.

Here are the two Max figures from collection 3. Both without the face shields. Both the same height.

Here's Max and Hikaru with their heads switched. The shoulder pads and chest plate from the collection 3 figure is much more detailed. The shoulder pad has groves were the black line is. While in collection 1, the black lines were just slopply painted on. The chest piece and belt from collectiom 3 also have more dimension to them.

Here's pic with the helmets off.

Last week I got the entire CM's Macross collection Part 3. Thanks to Vanpang for bringing them all the way from Malaysia while he was traveling to California. He's a great guy. I have to say, the figures themselves are getting better in quality. The details and the paint jobs are much better than the first 2 series. Here's Max in flight suit. Max is the same height as Hikaru. Roy is one tall Focker.

Open. Open. Open.

Don't worry man. If there's one thing that is for sure, Yamato is a company that loves money. If the opportunity is there, they'll take it. I think that there's just too much stuff at the moment, so take it easy and wait. 327932[/snapback] So far, i think they re-issued every 1/48 except the low viz, 1S hikkie, and the TV max/miriya. The low viz is limited, so that will probably not come out again. The TV max and miriya were not hot sellers. So I have a feeling the 1S hikkie will be the next announced re-issue.

Wow, over 3 hundee these days. Isn't that low viz prices? Quick, everyone slap a 1S head on your 1A Hikkies and sell, sell, sell! That means I can possibly trade my 1S for a low viz? Seriously, would anyone consider selling their 1S and use that money to buy a low viz? It's worth considering since the low viz is limited and the 1S might be re-releashed sometime in the future.

I picked up the fx version of all 5 episodes on 1 disc. The picture and sound quality was pretty good. However, the English subtitles were not accurate... messed up names, bad grammar, missed protoculture reference, etc. There was a point were there was no sound during the very first appearance of the Roy's VF-0. Was that done on purpose (for dramatic effect)? Anyways, got the disc off ebay for $7.99 shipped. There's a fan sub version on ebay for $8.99 shipped. Does anyone have that version?

How about this different pic with the stand cropped off?

Yeah, yeah...I know they are the wrong missiles, but I always have a hard time putting those boxy things on. Is there a special trick? Everytime I try, it feels like I'm going to break off the wings! Besides I like these missles better.
