Got my Hi-Metal VF-19S Blazer last week and broke it. I had no idea the main head laser couldn't move. Had to glue it back on.

What is with all the over bites? And is that 2nd cover legit or a fan made one? I've seen that photo before. Did they work a deal with photographer/Computer artist or just found it online and borrowed it? -
That's what I heard too. They brought in new owners a couple of times or something and with each new owner created more debt. This hurt their potential to make more. Worst is the baby sections eats up so much space. Parents can easily go to any big box store for Baby stuff. Many families have more than one child. Why stop at TRU for just baby clothes when still have to dress your other kids by shopping somewhere else? I miss their walls & walls for toys warehouse design. It was the place to be if you were a kid.

Why couldn't have been 2001 when I was a younger? The 2021 date is going the make the movie a hard sale. Even if you convince a studio that Robotech is going to be the next big thing you might only get to make one movie. A studio is not going to invest a ton of money with the knowledge they might not be able to make a sequel.

Help me I couldn't wait for the next release to be shipped so I ordered an old blue VF-19 Hi-metal. It wasn't at those current insane eBay prices.
-
Imo Arcadia/Yamato has made the better VF-1. That is all they've done. Mastered the art of making Variable Fighter toys. They can't do anything beyond that. When they gave us a Regult it was a model kit that costed what $350 or something near that? Under their new company they just been doing mostly improve new re-releases at a higher price. They still have a better VF-1 but there overall line is lacking. The Hi-metals aren't perfect but they're making regular releases, providing a variety of choices.

I know I'm a little late but finally have my Defender unboxed and in my hands. And I think it is my least favorite. It is so small. The Spartan for example is at a larger scale than the VF-1. The Toy designers could have made the Spartan the correct scale. Instead of going for accuracy they used a scale that just looked good next to a VF-1. The Defender scale is more accurate? It just don't look that impressive being small. It also feels like the top half might a scale smaller than the legs. This toy will take some time to grow on me.

My Defender is here! By here I mean in the trunk of my car. Can't open it till later.
-
Why did take nearly 10 minutes to place my order at Ami Ami.
-
Just waiting in silence.
-
It's tonight? Isn't it? Okay I'm not going to bed.
-
I understand getting the cheaper airmail means it might take extra time to fly my Defender from Japan to the USA. But why did the post office keep my Defender in one location for 2 business days after it cleared customs? It wasn't being held during the weekend or a holiday. They picked it up from customs and sat just on it.
-
10 days and finally an update. In those 10 days it went from clearing Japan customs to clearing US customs. No news between that time. Kind of annoying that some times they provide an update from every step of the way and other times you get like only 2.
-
My defender still hasn't left Japan yet. Ami Ami was slow getting them out and it is either currently stuck in a Japanese airport or Japan Post forgot to do some updates. Last update was the 19th.
-
That soon. I swear the announcement dates and preorder dates are getting shorter and shorter.
-
I love how everyone jokes about being broke after buying these toys. If this true just buy one of each. Nobody has to buy multiples.
-
Yes! This also means all the 2 seaters are a strong possibility.
-
What's happening! My computer has magically transformed back to my early 2000's Gateway desktop and the lines in my face are fading!
-
My Defender is still stuck defending the shores in Japan.
-
Just got my shipping notice.
-
Ami Ami is now requesting payment. Now I wait for them to send it to me.
-
My preorder is with them too and nothing yet about its status.
-
Guess I don't have to stay up late tonight. Ordered a set from NY $171+change. Ouch! At least my 1 Glaug & 1 Regult will now have some friends.
-
One set is enough for me. I only have so much display space.
