Just got my armored VF-1J in. What a figure. Question: Anyone know any 3rd party folks out there who have made a "missiles firing" add on like some of the larger Armored figs have?

Anyone know how to open the Flashlight that comes with the Advanced Rick figure? Even the unboxing video guy couldn't figure it out. I am stumped as well.

Still available at Nin-Nin Games btw - which is weird as they are offering the cheapest price at 10% off MSRP https://www.nin-nin-game.com/en/hi-metal-r/83982-hi-metal-r-the-super-dimension-fortress-macross-vf-1j-valkyrie-revival-ver-bandai-spirits-.html

Oh wow! I messed up on calculating the conversation time from JST to CST and slept through it. Was still able to snag one off Anime Export when I woke up. Are they pretty good on shipping prices? The shipping calculator isnt working.

Luna Park question - I've seen several people remark about how their shipping leaves much to be desired. If I don't want to go through PO Night Madness and don't care about the condition the box arrives in, is Luna Park a safe option to pre-order an item? Or do they have other reasons for their reputation such as taking people's money?

So, I'm a total newb. Started collecting HM-R line during the pandemic. Caught up on stuff on second hand sites. For the reissue for the Armored VF1J, the front page says preorders start on Jan 12 - but I don't know what sites I go to on that date? Or is there a reliable proxy service that handles preorders? Any info is appreciated!

Apologies if this is off topic but I've never preordered anything before. Excited for the reissue of the Armored VF1J. How do people know when pre-orders go live? Are there some sites more reliable than others?

Dont forget, it's been awhile since those last figures and inflation is bad now. Wouldnt surprise me we get some sticker shock.

You really think they'll sell badly? It just seems that HM-R did decently overall and now we have all these pent up demand. Pl;us, original series stuff is the most popular stuff.

Both lines are really good. I think the question for you is - do u want to get into this scale?? If he won't fit anywhere else, u may regret the purchase. But if you feel 1/100 would be a great scale, do it. I feel 1/100 is a great display scale when you want to display more than a handful of pieces together

Ahh, it looks like I need to position the legs standing more up and angle him more for a detolf - thanks!

So, right now I have all my HM-R's on 1 shelf together in a Billy bookcase. Can someone help inspire me on where to put my Monster? he doesn't fit in a Billy or a detolf. I need some inspiration to hopefully display him with his little destroids!

Thank you! I just grabbed him. My HM-R set is almost done now! I started this summer with the Monster. $800 latter, I've got everything I want except for the GBP armor. Hopefully the line continues and I can get them as new releases now.

I never thought I would spend $70 on an accessory set, but I got the missile pack and am just in love with how they look. Wish they were cheaper so I could pick up another set!

It took me an extraordinary amount of time just now to figure out how to get the gun and stand adaptor on in fighter mode for the Super valks. I had the arm-armors switched.
