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. -

Same as this other one I just found I don’t even have a GoPro but it was too cool/unique to pass up.
-
There is that Kitz Minmay figure that just came out...

I don’t think I’ve seen this before Not sure why it exists other than it compelled me to buy another Hot Wheel.

Ooo, nice! -
Also, they have already done Zentradi Mecha...
-
In the end, it’s only a couple bucks difference at most but just a fun “game” I play. Any savings just help towards more purchases. Basically like playing the stock market. Another reason why I never pay up front if I don’t have to. That’s basically handing out free loans. Even if I lose the exchange rate game, with the typical amount of time between preorder and actual release, I can make more than that amount back in other markets.
-
I just wait to see when the exchange rate is most favorable. Hopefully it will jump to over 111 again and preferably 112+
-
I dunno, it’s grey and white...I think it will go fine with anything. Plus, I don’t really care about colors being fashionable on a war machine. I mean, the official armor doesn’t match right?
-
I’ll take them all! Just wondering if I somehow missed the 1A TV Max mentioned but I know it’s impossible.
