    Hi-Metal R

    I can only hope and wish that this Regult goes down in pricing quickly like their recent SRC God Sigma. Bandai overpriced that SRC at 7500y a few months ago, but you can get it now for under 3000y. Amazon even has it under $28 now.

    Hi-Metal R

    The relevancy to this topic is that Bandai is overpricing this line compared to their other lines. It's more expensive than the SRCs and it doesn't even have significant metal-content or hard-plastic content like the SRCs.This HM-R line seems to be pretty much on par with the plastic content of the Damashii line, and yet the Damashii's are significantly way cheaper than this line. fwiw, Bandai makes and sell even more obscure robots than the Regult in their SRC line...

    Hi-Metal R

    It will be simply idiotic to compare this line to Arcadia, so that's a non-starter. I reckon you have no idea about the Super Robot Chogokins and Robot Damashii/Robot Spirits lines from Bandai, but maybe you should start. They are both quite a better value and quite cheaper than the HM-R.
  4. Wait, what? Since when any other valks supposed to be the same height as the VF-1 in battroid mode?

    Hi-Metal R

    Nah. I'll be good with just one if I can even get it at a lower preorder-pricing. 6800y is just too much for it. I rather get some SRCs or some Robot Damashii stuff instead. Prolly Bandai's plan all along to steer fans away from it and into their other lines by just overpricing the HM-R line...

    Hi-Metal R

    Well, that sucks. I was hoping it'll be around 3000y msrp only due to the simplicity of it, but 6800y is quite steep to do army-building with it.

    Charles/OptimusPrimeSG usually reviews Soul of Chogokins and metal Gundams, but he recently posted his video-reviews of this HM-R. Two parts. part-1: https://youtu.be/URWobIGKiOQ part-2: https://youtu.be/Pv3vKX6E2Is Enjoy.

  15. Yup. The 1J is event-exclusive. and Ami's only offering the 24pk set of the Go Nagai and Doraemon characters: http://www.amiami.com/top/detail/detail?gcode=FIGURE-013815 http://www.amiami.com/top/detail/detail?gcode=FIGURE-013823 Like I said, expect N-Y or Jungle to scalp offer the 1J variant after the show.
  16. oooo Lala... http://www.amiami.com/top/detail/detail?gcode=FIGURE-013937 ami's title says "1/6" , but ami's spec states "1/7 (approx 265mm)." Feb/2016 release. Don't seem like castoff-enabled, but she still looks nice and sexay and non-loli...
  17. The 1J seems to be limited to the Tamashi Nation 2015 event ticket purchasers. http://tamashii.jp/special/tamashii_nation/ However, expect N-Y and Jungle to gobble some up for regular gaijin-scalping...
  18. It's funny coz this statuette's torso is much closer to the 1/60 Yammies/Arcadia that actually transforms than to Bandai's own HM-R line... Seems to be diecast per http://tamashii.jp/special/katamari/
  19. I saw that posted at TD earlier, but I wasn't quite sure how to post it here since it's just a some statuette. As such, it's kinda funny how the torso on this is much nicer and non-elongated than the one they use in the HM-R...

    Hi-Metal R

    There were several threads here in MWF back in the days about the yellowing of Bandai valks. Mostly the 1/55 Hikaru (1A, Super-1S, Strike-1S ) and the G1 Jetfire. Iirc, the 1/100 Bandai Hi-Metal line were also reported as affected. Something about the white plastic that Bandai used on the Hi-Metal line that triggers yellowing even when stored out of sunlight and never taken out of the box.
  21. Totally #7 option. If the exchange-rate somehow goes at least 200y-$1 or better, then I'll reconsider getting any Arcadia offerings (macross and non-macross)...

    Hi-Metal R

    Well, prolly coz like the old 1/55 Hi-Metal, it will almost guaranteed to yellow quickly. See Renato's older 1J earlier. Could be also the reason why the newer "R" variant comes in grey now instead...
  23. hmm. Of the ones I kept, VF-1 is the most (13) I still have. Nine 1/60v2 Yammies and four 1/55 Chunkies. filtered by variant: Six 1A, six 1S, and one 1J. filtered by pilot: Roy (3), Hikaru (6), Max (2), Kaki (2).
