The 4G is a whole different story... it's a must buy. XD I don't think the VF-17 was worth it for the price, it just look so plain (although I can appreciate something that's not a regular VF-1).

$500-$800? As long as they don't start coming out with all sorts of variants and repaints. LOL

One of the reasons I skipped on the VF-17.

+1 This song and video always gives me chills (in a good way) - it always make me a little sad as it feels like saying farewell to old friends after all the things we've been through. I like how the related videos at the end all point to "How to paint Blood Angels Space Marines". LOL '

Ranka is up for pre-order again at HLJ.

Seriously... same with Hobby Search and HLJ. LOL Sucks being on the western hemisphere some times, you wake up in the morning and these things already "sold out". Same thing happened with the VF-25 renewals. -______-

While I understood the symbolism of the two Minmays in the FB:2012 video, I'm still a little confused about the part where Minmay was on the stage and Hikaru gave her a mic while Misa put her arms around Minmay. Was Minmay just thinking about them (since it flashes back to the concert at that point) or were they really there at that moment?

Looks like HLJ has it for pre-orders again, HS and AA both closed for reservations.

Up for pre-order at HLJ (finally). Already sold out at HobbySearch. =|

Yeah, I had actually noted that in my review. One of my booster's ball joint got stuck in the slot and separated from the arm - the design is nice but prone to damage.

I was referring to the armored Klan. I think the Micronized Klan is even more unlikely, I've been looking around for that one for awhile too.

Doubtful, but anything's possible. So far the only re-release from MegaHouse for Macross is the concert Sheryl (which they released in a different colour). Also, Klan ended up in the bargain bins on many online sites so that's probably not a good sign either.

Yeah, forgot to mention these are all DYRL versions. What I always wondered was how come Yamato made a Kakizaki revision but never a Hikaru 1A? Was the 1A sale really that poor?

Well, got my package today. VF-1A Kakizaki w/SP came with the clear canopy and new crotch VF-1A Max came with clear canopy and new crotch (surprised me as I thought it would've come with the rainbow tint and old crotch) VF-1A Hikaru looks like it's still the old version. Rainbow tint, old crotch and looks like knurled pins and have a very very faint stress mark on one of the shoulders. Either old stock from HLJ or Yamato still hasn't come out with a newer/updated production of this?

Picked up my package today from the post office. Interesting to see that the VF-11C has a clear canopy compared to my initial release 11C with the rainbow tint. =p

Yup, well, all my orders are now being prepped for shipping, except for the Nyan Nyan Heroine figures which is now listed as discontinued. That's kinda lame as I ordered them the first couple of hours the sale went up, ah well! Definitely not looking forward to the customs fee for this.

Riiiiiiiiiiiight, GW, forgot about that.

5 full pages of stuff for sale now down to 3. Yikes! A bunch of my order are still pending shipment (were in stock when I ordered) now they're listed as backordered / discontinued. Hope my orders will go through.

Thanks - I couldn't find any concrete info on it. Kinda interesting that Yamato hasn't come out with a 1A Hikaru with the Super/Strike parts like Max and Kakizaki. I ordered a 1A Hikaru from HLJ's sale anyway, let's see what happens. LOL

Anyone know if there have been re-issues (or updated production) of VF-1A Hikaru (DYRL) with the updated pins? Just wondering if it's finally safe to order one.

Some of their Macross figures are for sale too, Armored Klan 60% off. I got her pretty much full price when she was released. D'oh!

SOB.... whhhhhhhhhy?! =*(

Cool - good to know.

Pre-ordered the VF-X and the Angelbird. I don't know why I ordered the Angelbird though, considering I never gave the 1/48 a chance. LOL

Klan!
