Your most recent Macross or toy purchase! General thread.

If I recall correctly, he was involved with the Masterpiece version. -

Yep, that Boba Fett figure is pretty much the most well known and sought after Star Wars collectible ever made. I think that one guy in Northern California who has one of the biggest SW collections in the world got robbed by his friend, who tried to sell one of those and got caught. it was something like that. -

Nope, this is the Walmart retro reissue I just got today. And if you look closer att he picture, there are two missile types there and I just learned that because of child safety laws, the fighter mode missiles were elongated to avoid choking hazards. And yeah...after opening this and messing with it, it reminds me of why I quit collecting Transformers in the first place 30 years ago. They are a joke compared with what we got from Macross at the same time. Yep! -

I'm not a fan of any Seeker mold made so far but I saw this today and couldn't pass it up I don't remember the fighter mode missiles being too long on the original. Lol, wtf?!

Got my 31S All looking good! It’s nice to have missiles under the wings (I haven’t taken any of my other missile bearing 31 toys out yet). Now, just need armor packs.

Got my 31S too
-
Didn’t think so. Either way, pretty cool stuff. It’s going to be nice having a bunch of weapon options.
-
Now I’m wondering...does the entire pod for the SPP-8 and LPP-12 launch and then deploys weapons from front once closer to target? Have we seen this process shown up close in detail in the anime?
-
Ok, that would make a lot more sense. Thanks for clearing that up!
-
The only confusion I have with the big green one being the LPP-12 is that missile is not mentioned in this description: The CHM-2 is listed and by deduction, I’m assuming the fins we see on the following image of the CHM-2 diagram are folded in on the big green missile the toys come with. Plus, this same missile is described and shown in the Macross Mecha Manual for the YF-19. the rest of the payload is easy to figure out since they match descriptions and pictures very closely.
-
Haha, I just read all that too so yeah, Macross gunpods are a decent upgrade over the GAU-8. The amount of nerd data analyzing the comparisons on that manual is impressive! I just love that gun and the A-10.
-
Haha, I forgot that in Macross fiction, the firepower of the gun pods is much greater than an GAU-8 so I guess that works. However, specs and physical limitations mean they carry a lot less ammo but that doesn’t seem to be a big issue in the cartoons.
-
A-10s don’t just have any Gatling gun.
-
Looks like a 5%er. I get those once in a while.
-
NY with discount code since mine was 23750 without discount. And yeah, NY with shipping is regularly cheaper than other places without shipping as long as you can get an order through.
-
I want that display more than anything else on it!
-
Haha, it really is just a couple bucks but every penny adds up! Hopefully it stays around 111-112 for a while because I have a big shipment I’ve been meaning to pay for but caught up in paying for preorders.
-
Looks like the exchange rate is close to 112 like I had hoped last week. I just paid for mine and it’s probably a good time to do so if you are playing the exchange rate game. Or wait a bit to see if it does crack 112 (or hopefully more).
-
It’s fine if you don’t see the relation, it really doesn’t matter to me either way who gets it, why or what Bandai is doing with the HMR line. If they make more, great, if they are done, oh well. I was originally just joining in the conversation because people are worried about it so I suggested some possible reasoning. To me, the DX Mazinger Z release is very similar to the current situation we have with the DX VF-1.
-
While they might be mutually exclusive, it doesn’t make sense for a company that is about to release one of the biggest deals ever for a franchise to dilute the market or use resources towards something similar but lesser. When DX Mazinger Z came out, there were no SOC releases within about 6 months near it and two years before they released another Mazinger Z, which was a reissue/repaint.
-
That was technically Takatoku, right? This will be the first time we get an original Bandai designed release...it's a super big deal!
-
Yeah, I thought about the YF-19 too but that is nothing compared to the first, large scale VF-1 ever originally released by Bandai. Anyways, I'm all for more HMR but my wallet can certainly take a break...not like I won't have them when they do come out and even if nothing comes out, my HMR collection is still the most complete Macross display I have with in scale Destroids and enemy Mecha all on one shelf. It's hard for me to complain about that.
-
I agree it’s too early to worry. Bandai is probably focusing on the DX VF-1 release, which is basically the biggest deal in original Bandai Macross releases ever.

Yeah, I was talking about the blue. I have a bunch of black ones and maybe grey. Thanks for the site link. Never even thought to check it out before.
