Seems so.

1/72 YF-29 is super great news. The VF-19Kai is not my favorite, but more battroid kits is cool. Hopefully the start of a line of battroids. 1/72 standard YF-19 battroid later? And please please do a 1/72 YF-30 fighter.

I'd like a YF-30. Seeing as they never did one in their 1/72 line. A VF-11 series would also be great. And honestly, I'd buy a VF-25 and VF-31 series too. Maybe they'd actually do the VF-31E this time.

Sure but.... I got every single 1/72 Macross release from Bandai easily through HLJ. It's just the 1/100s that have been trouble.

It's funny... I preordered the YF-19 on day 1, as soon as HLJ posted it for preorder. I did not get one shipped when it was released, it went to backorder. While it was on backorder, I found 3 copies locally at 3 different physical stores. I then canceled my HLJ order. Fast forward a bit... I preordered the YF-29 on HLJ as soon as it was posted. Again, at release, it went to backorder and I got nothing. I've already found a YF-29 at my local shop, and between local online stores and local physical stores, I can easily get a couple more. I will again be canceling my HLJ order. I have the YF-29 Max and YF-21 on preorder at HLJ now, but I have 0 confidence I'll ever see a kit come in for me via that avenue. I'm sure I'll wind up getting 3 YF-19 Max and 3 YF-21 locally. I don't know why HLJ gets so little stock of these.

I got my VF-171 (and the earlier Alto type) right away through HLJ. HLJ seems to get the Wave and Hasegawa Macross kits very easily, unlike the Bandai 1/100 kits...

Dang it. I was waiting for a VF-1J Super Battroid Max to pair with the recently released Miria version. Oh well, hopefully that's still coming in the near future.

I'm still sitting on an old Imai release of the 1/72 Spartan, waiting for someone to do a modern kit. But I should probably at least try to get a copy of the Bandai re-issue since the old Imai decals probably won't be worth much use by now.

If anyone has Bandai 1/72 VF-1s they want to dump, I'll gladly buy. 😂

I snagged one at the re-issue as well.

I had one on backorder at HLJ for the longest time. I just cancelled it a little while ago. I can't believe I found 3 at 3 different local stores before HLJ could even ship me ONE, which I had preordered as soon as it was posted on the website. Crazy! I hope it won't be as bad with the subsequent 1/100 VF releases.

I dunno if it's a general thing between hlj and bandai. I was able to get some recent gundam kits through hlj easily enough. Just seems like they had a hard time with the yf-19. I'll probably cancel my order with hlj as i don't need more than 3 anyway.

HLJ has been weird. I ordered the HG YF-19 on Oct. 22nd, 2022. Never received. Meanwhile, bought 3 copies at 3 different local brick & mortar stores. But the Wave VF-171EX I ordered at HLJ did come in.

TV VF-1J, TV VF-1D, and Max/Miria VF-1J would be a great start. Then a TV VF-1A if we're lucky.

I got notice that my copy from HLJ has entered my private warehouse. Anxiously awaiting the announcement of a Max VF-1J Super Battroid now. 😄

Isn't it mostly moulded in white? I don't recall if things like the feet or gunpod are moulded in color. And decals wouldn't cover those.

Pretty cool. I hope they're planning on TV versions and supers down the road.

I wish they'd do what they did with the 1/1000 Voyager kit: release both a non-clear and a clear version simultaneously. With so many people lighting their star trek kits these days, doing a clear version makes sense. But it would be great to have a non-clear alternative.

I heard they are re-issuing Enterprise B in clear plastic as well. What I really need is a re-issue of the Excelsior decal set....

Ordered! Really hope they have Glaug and power armors in the works. And hopefully all in 1/72.

I'll take a look. I tend to focus on the good guy suits.

Now all I can think of when I see the old rounded hands is Baymax from Big Hero 6...

In Gundam? I haven't seen rounded hands for a while... I think Witch from Mercury, Hathaway's Flash, Unicorn, etc use mechanical blocky hands.

All the angles covered. Nice!
