    31A Arad would be nice, but at this point I'd rather have Chuck, and some Armored packs. Need all the Radar birds. (Arcadia re-issue VE-1, and new VF-11C Radome when?)
  2. Sanity is Optional
    We can hope it gets made, since it's the only VF-31 that hasn't yet (other than Arad's VF-31A, or VF-31A #2). Who knows, maybe we'll just see armored and super packs every couple of months for a year...

    Nevermind, though that was the Tomahawk in the back, rather than the defender.
  4. Sanity is Optional
    The tomahawk is also in that pic.

    Cool, I hope they keep using and improving the tech. I'd be totally in for a multi-color injected Macross valkyrie kit that didn't need massive sticker/decal sheets. Probably won't work due to bonding between the two plastic colors, but I can dream.

    So, the big deal, as I recall, with the Fumina figure was the multi-color injection tech used to give different shades to the skin. How good does it look in person?

    Looking good, always a fan of military paint schemes.

    It helps that some of the reissues are legitimately cheaper than secondary market prices. Like the VF-0S Premium. Funny enough, I think part of the complaints about gouging on the Premium SDF-1 and Max/Milia could have been reduced if they'd waited for aftermarket prices to spike above the expected sales price, rather than effectively competing with themselves. Yet we piss and moan about it.

    That and the scene where she charges around the school in an Ex-Gear after her stolen panties.

    Just this one? https://www.amazon.com/Theatrical-Feature-Macross-Shudisuta-Japan-4924897011/dp/B00HHLI1PG Bleh, even on Amazon Japan it's like $100 before shipping.

    Not sure if this is the correct question thread, but anyway. Does anyone know which editions of Frontier and the Frontier movies have English subtitles included?
  12. Sanity is Optional
    Or option 3: it's the cheapest available HMR VF-1.

    Yup, you can order from Amazon Japan direct to a US address, and with a credit card. https://www.amazon.co.jp/In-English/b?ie=UTF8&node=1094656 If you use Chrome, you can use the browser to google translate the pages as well.

    Note that Amazon Japan, and Amazon are different companies.

    Convenient, I've already got the Delta movie DVD and the Bandai DX VF-1J on order with them.
  16. Sanity is Optional
    Any updates on when this month the kit's releasing?
  17. Sanity is Optional
    I guess I need to start ordering more things from Amazon Japan. Cheap 3day shipping to Cali? That's a definite incentive.

    I'd suggest Hi-Metal R, or non-renewal VF-25 figures if you want something affordable. Alternatively the Bandai 1:72 kits for the VF-25, VF-27, VF-31, and SV-262 are pretty good (and fully transformable) if you don't mind putting in some time to build them.
  19. Sanity is Optional
    Something about that expression and the itty-bitty head on the giant body is hilarious.
  20. Sanity is Optional
    At least it was just an anniversary scheme, rather than something like a VF-1J Armored pack or VF-1S Strike Roy.
  21. Sanity is Optional
    Picked myself up a VF-25F super (non-renewal) at Mandarake for 15,000yen in 2015. Actually my first Macross figure ever, not counting a beat to hell chunky monkey from a garage sale decades ago.

    Decided to tackle one of the larger boxes in my backlog. Nothing that requires too much skill, but it's satisfying none the less. Perfect Grade Astray Red Frame Kai. No other plastic kits I have ever seen beat Bandai's Gundam kits for sheer mechanical intricacy and moving parts.

    Easiest method I've found is to buy pour-type Gundam markers (GM 301, 302, 303, etc...) and touch them (after getting them started) to a panel line, and let capillary action do the rest of the work. Clean-up with isopropyl on a swab, or a pentax hi-polymer eraser.

    I'd just like to point out that Bandai's stuff tends to command one hell of a premium after release. $500 VF-31A $160-$170 HMR Strike VF-1S Roy/VF-1J Armored $350 VF-25G Renewal The used VF-25G you got was probably not the renewal version, and got seriously reduced in value by the release of the renewals.
  25. Sanity is Optional
    I'm expecting: VF-1S (Roy& Hikaru) VF-1J Hikaru (Possibly Max/Milia) Armor for VF-1J Super/Strike for VF-1S Maybe Max/Milia VF-1J (and supers). Maybe VF-1A Hikaru (lower probability for CF, Max, Kakizaki). Probably not VE-1, VT-1, VF-1D.
