I think it comes only with one set of hardpoint wings as default installed. Amiami does let you change shipping method when they invoice you as the item comes into stock, so you'll be able to judge which shipping is better for you.

Some Fighter-only very preliminary comparison pics from William Wong of FB. He mentions that the joints feel tighter, the triangles look exactly the same design, it doesn’t come with non-hardpoint wings & there are more tampo markings. From his pics I’m noticing: 1. New ‘no step’ markings on the wings. 2. Both sides wings are now flush against the LERX (hope I’m using the right term), with no varying degrees of gap that plaque the old versions. This issue was a very pet peeve of mine. 3. Is the gun bigger now? Can’t tell if it is or it’s just due to the camera.

I had mistakenly thought more of these CM's figures and their bikes would be available as and when Sentinel released their ride armors, but that didn't really turn out to be the case. Also thanks (again) to @Jenius' site mentioning these were pretty low production numbers to begin with anyway, so that in a large part made me accept it at current aftermarket price. KC seems to be best bet now for any civilian clothes Mospeada figures, but looking at their pace of releases, their prices would be double MSRP what they are asking for Dana now lol. Those are pretty nice customs, and matches the aesthetics of the current figures.

This set of CM's figures were always a bit of small grail for me, they are so hard to come by! So am pretty stoked to have scored this, even if I haven't completed the basic set of CM's bikes yet.

At a recent HK toy show.

It just occurred to me there might be some hope yet for a YF-30 reissue, since Bandai have been slowly reviving Frontier valks. We have this and the VF-27 molds left, so perhaps Bandai will move on to either of these next. (Although I hope Bandai forgets that YF-30 is technically not in Frontier)

Your most recent Macross or toy purchase! General thread.

Received my first Jada Toys Street Fighter 2 figure. This is one of those rare toys, which I would be entirely happy to leave in box & display it as it is. It is not so much the packaging having some fancy shape or clever gimmicks, but just the overall presentation being just so satisfying to look at. I had wanted to unbox & have some in-hand feel to compare with the SHF SF2 figures, but I think I'll leave it in the box for now.

I think the reception around the 171EX is pretty tepid by usual DX Macross standards, many adopt a wait & see on what quality improvements Bandai makes for this release and we should have some early reports by next week. The YF-21 PO event was really like back to the PO madness of the old, pre-WWM times lol. Kinda missed the whole adrenalin rush of it haha, but one only can say that if they are successful in securing a unit or two. I think this is the first PO in a long time that even Amiami didn't have additional PO slots open up every few minutes or so - I only saw it opening once at the allotted time and that was it. That said, its great many who missed out initially could eventually secure one almost immediately after as and when the POs go live outside JP. That said, I just have a feeling that more PO's will be available from here on till release at the Jap webstores due to WWM factors. Just keep a closer eye on CDJ, HLJ and Amiami..

@Mog @Big s It's sometimes a bit of revelation, but not surprising, how so many songs have very different origins. The version of Beggin I was introduced to was this: Which was used specifically for the movie Step Up 3D:

I recently got Ryu Player 2 in, and am quite persuaded to get the other Player 2 schemes so P2s Fei Long & Chun Li will be nice additions. Not so convinced on Violent Ken though, or even the previous exclusive Evil Ryu as I've no familiarity with them in the more recent Ultra SF2. They actually look more like King of Fighters characters to me than SF2 lol.

@Perxion Love the extra weapon and the awesome pose of the Legioss! I hope you don't mind me borrowing your pic and making some edits..
-
The Tread has been in what an unusually long tease now for a Sentinel product. I hope it doesn't become vaporware though, although still pretty optimistic at this point it will still get a release.
-
Using the Y-adaptors like that is pretty ingenious haha.. I would have never thought of it.
-
No idea what scale are they, information on these is pretty limited. Up till this pic which showcase the actual items / prototype, I wasn't even sure if it was under HG licensing (worldwide) or Big West (Japan-only). But now we see its Big West, although there have been web stores around Asia accepting preorders for couple of months now. Perhaps someone more familiar with Tomica items can shed more light on this..

3 variants offered; VF-1J Hikaru, VF-1J Max & VF-1S Roy. Price: Yen 1,430 (includes JP domestic tax 10%) Release: April 2024

A very nice scheme, and reminiscent of the Yamato 1/48 Stealth colours.

Slight addendum to the yellowing discussion earlier: I just noticed Mandarake has recently started to add remarks to Frontier v2 valks that yellowing may occur (in addition to the possible nose hinge crack) for unopened ones.

1/48+fp's, 1/60+fp's, 1/72, 1/2k, 1/3k,1/100 and now 1/144

The Strike version looks like a winner, and agreed that the details are pretty sharp. Never really noticed that before with the non-Strike ones, because the legs hanging down at the rear were always just too distracting. -

If the scalper-ish price from JP is almost the same as local, might as well go local as after-sales support should be better, something that was inconceivable not too long ago. The longer wait times for local stores having items in stock can actually be an advantage, as after release in JP we have a bit of time to decide which way the prices are trending. If it goes down, as some of the WWM items do, then cancel local and pick up import. Again, something also very inconceivable for Macross toys not too long ago as well lol.

Something like this has happened to me before in the past for Amiami. Clearing site cookies from browser solved it (but too late).
