    I really would spring for a 31C Gerwalk mode most likely... and I know that would force me to get both modes again haha but whatever. Lets see what happens. I really hope this line is successful and that it opens the door for more VFs.

    That looks really really good. They really need to get into making the VF-25 as well, surely they can get a Frontier licence!

    The VF-1 can be parts-formed after assembly of the main models. Unless you glue the connections that are meant to be able to separate in order to get Gerwalk. Though it is a certainly an "event" which I would not like to reproduce constantly. I would think these VF-31s can be executed in the same way. I'll probably end up ordering another set to have all 3 modes separate of each other without needing to parts-form at any point.... *sigh* my wallet.

    Cool! I'm gonna have to wait for a month or so now, cant justify shipping these alone, and just last week I had to ship out a big load....bummed these didn't get released sooner. Oh well.

    Agree with your comments. Though I guess in the end everyone is entitled to an opinion. Frontier was not perfect, but it wasn't bad either. Not to mention the composer/songs/singer combo for it was about as great as you could ever hope.

    Finally got my payment request for the VF-31s

    Well it goes in line with the other PLAMAX Macross releases.

    That fan service episode was really out of place. it wasn't even sprinkled on, it was a plot on its own for the "hacking" or whatever... meh...

    Pretty sad this is what we're seeing from a Macross series. I think you described it best... Always scissors in the sky, with the corny "wind/music" effects tacked onto the fighters... I don't necessarily want the mecha to be the one and only center plot for an Macross anime, but it sure as hell should play an important role. To be honest save for a very small number of scenes this whole story can be done WITHOUT the need or purpose of transformable mecha.

    I'd be interested in a PLAMAX 1/20th Mirage if it ever happened, though chances are low I guess.

    Just got my figinstock alert. They are now available at HLJ. I have not yet gotten a payment request for my orders though. Maybe the system automatically moved the expected month out based on the fact it was nearing end of month. Nevertheless good news.
  12. ayaxr
    HLJ has now changed the release date for the TomyTec Delta 1/144 VF-31J Hayate and VF-31A and VF-31C to September... :/

    So glad I preordered the PLAMAX Minmay! That packaging and poster looks great. Cant wait for Ranka and Sheryl. Now I want a PLAMAX Sharon, heck give me the black box on a stand if you want I had high hopes from PLAMAX ever since I took the plunge on their Machine Caliber kit a while back. It is amazingly packaged, the box is great, the additional material included is very nice and the kit is really good with water slides included... all in all top quality product.

    You know I thought about that, it would have been "easy" from a writing perspective. To say, ok they have rocket panties, but they only last so long and they were ejected from a too high altitude so they wont be able to make it on their own.. something like that.. At least you play into the script the technology you've previously shown but include the limits and how the team has to deal with it. I mean is this crazy to think? To me it sounds like something completely plausible and actually worth more than what we saw.

    OMG such a cringe moment as well for me. I was cautiously optimistic thinking "Ok so now these guys need to nosedive like crazy or do something "so typical" of Macross in attempts to save a falling damsels to add a real sense of danger and stakes".... and you know what I'm totally OK with that... but guess what... nothing.. it was just a simple pickup by the guys, I mean....come on..at least try to fake to me that there's danger even though I know they will get saved.
  18. ayaxr
    Gotta say, glad they went with the movie version, Helps her look less loli when placed against Minmay and Sheryl, I think Sheryl will also be based from the movies, that one I'm not so sure about. These look really good even without paint and at a nice price point. The PLAMAX Minmay just went on sale today also but is already close to running out of stock at several sites from what I can see. HLJ Link for Minmay http://hlj.com/product/MAX01028

    Waiting on HLJ payment request here as well, got the Hayate VF-31J 2 Mode set and the VF-31A. Also waiting on the request for the PLAMAX Lynn Minmay from DYRL also due out in August.....

    Wow. They keep raising the bar in poor writing and rehashed animations from PAST SERIES.... so saddening to see this. And now knowing that this was originally supposed to end at episode 13 with a followup movie, it provides a logical answer for the train-wreck we're seeing, though it is not excusable by any means. If you expand a series to double the length does that not mean you get more budget? more staff? more of whatever is needed? I mean if in theory its a big enough cash cow to provide a case for a second cour, then that means you can devote the resources necessary.... The only thing you can never work around is time or lack thereof. But what we're seeing here doesn't feel just "rushed" in addition to that its pretty bad overall on all fronts, the scripting is made in such a way as to use as little resources as possible seems like? Did they dump all the money into just the idols and their songs knowing that would be a key marketable product? So onto this episode in particular.... After spending the better part of 3 episodes or so having the MC Hayate have this huge issue of going berserk from Freyja's singing, the fallout of that, now we get the "fk it just go into battle again" and all of a sudden its like "Hey guys, its OK.. It wont happen again, you girls are awesome, I'm cured cause I say so.. YEAHH!" I was thinking we we're finally gonna see the 2nd space battle (yeah only 1 in the whole series, only one instance of the super packs) but no.... We're left to assume they just skate on by the battle of rehashed Frontier animations right into the planet. Funny how a whole star system is under war, yet we only see 6/8 mechs fighting it out among each other time after time. *yawn* In the end I guess the series succeeded from their point of view as a commercial success and maybe thats all they care for at this point? I will certainly not be picking up the BDs. But I have already dished out healthy sums for model kits from Delta most likely DXs too, and I'll enjoy those for the mechanical aspect purely but they wont really have that feel or connection to the series I get from some of my other models. I'll end my rant here, sorry if I'm being overly critical.. I've posted similar thoughts over at reddit on previous episodes and got completely flamed for thrashing this "wonderful" anime.. But to be honest Macross is close to the chest for me, as I'm sure it is to all of you here, and its just a bit unsettling to see it unWIND so negatively May your winds blow true... yeah.. no.

    Thanks, I'll keep an eye on them.

    Thanks guys.

    About to preorder at HLJ. So there's just one version that's both in English and Japanese right? Or are there separate versions in their respective languages?
  24. ayaxr
    The lil drakens do look a bit bulkier in these shots than in the lineart (3d work). In the series they seem to integrate a little bit better into the overall look of the vehicle and maybe don't look as tacked on. But could be perspective.... Nevertheless they do look like a cool addition to the kit. I think I'll wait until this form is avaialble as one kit altogether.
  25. ayaxr
    That actually might have been a good side story project or something like that. Or they could have used that setting as this series and leaned more on the military aspect thru the creation of Walkure and given us the healthy mecha dose thru there... At episode 21 I don't really care how Walkure was formed anymore, its exposition for the sake of exposition and feels like a filler. Its something that could have easily been tied in early on in the series when Freyja joined and then we would have learned Walkure's past alongside the MC..I mean it makes sense that way doesnt it? At this point we should have been well into the final arc to get it to the home stretch with the stakes rising and rising. And surprise surprise. Next episode features more "character development" with lots of talking and talking.
