Ah, being a PO just posting today, I naturally thought to ask here first.

https://www.kitzconcept.com/index.php?route=product/product&product_id=108 Who here is psyched for this?

I'd love to see the other modes!

Just saw the Knight Rider KITT and KARR 2-pack in Target, and picked him up.

Ah, but 1/48 is my wheelhouse right now. Need that to come.

Boy, do I wish that had sound clips.

I paid a tad more for a 1/48 set, but agreed. They were on the level. I also find their grading to be quite conservative (ie, condition is usually better than they state).

Forgive my ignorance if there's something closer, but is that design the closest Macross has come to the fictional MiG-31 Firefox? It surely looks inspired by it.

Those would have been my choices...and as I'm apparently a Johnny-Come-Lately, reissues of the Movie Kakizaki 1A and the 1D with or without the fan racer. I just can't swing the late fees of today for those now.. Ran out of likes today, but everyone oughta like this post even though probably 90% here know this in their sleep by now. I need it beaten into me for what I've missed, to be honest.

Yeah, got the same email. Same question as in another thread: Which, AE, BIG, H-G, etc., is likely to be the most reasonably priced in the end shipping-wise? (Are some known for charging more than others, etc)

BIJ just said they have it back. Still, vs AE, which is likely to be cheaper in the end? Does BIJ charge more shipping than AE, less, or the same?

Well, now I'll never know...as I have.

I thought so too, but last refresh shows OOS again.

As of this second, it's live again. ...and gone once more.

AE's live again. ...and gone again.

Via AE? Is that less or more than what BIJ usually charges?

What's the AE shipping even likely to be?

For those in the USA, what's looking to be the least expensive after shipping? I assume there's no way around Bandai not shipping to the US on this if you can't see it normally, yeah? So, BIJ, AE, etc...what's going to hurt least?

I need that. We all need that.

Thanks! Yeah, the dark red of the Axoid with black head and clear visor has more presence for me, but this ain't bad. I also saw this green J head custom, but I can't make the price work for me. https://www.ebay.com/itm/165345844017 If it was the head alone, I'd grab it though.

Can we see more of these?

I saw this, and love it, but I gotta get a G1 Jetfire though. https://www.tfw2005.com/boards/threads/the-macross-thread.101574/page-3623#post-20419604

I've prayed for a similar opportunity. I STILL don't have him!

Oh boy, growing up in New York City every turn brought something new. I remember seeing some of the Bandai and Takara as early grey market exports before some were folded into the latter Transformers and Go-Bots lines. Then Matchbox's Robotech stuff too. What was great, was that the dollar stores and closeout liquidators were full of KOs, even brand name stuff closeout from stores folding, and I was able to score some real oddities and bargains before I knew how lucky I was. Sadly, the old story holds true for me too. Mom, or rather Grandma, tossed out most of this stuff when I got older, and when I came to realize how lucky I was, discovered they were trashed. That included some of the early Revell Robotech kits (remembered I actually did get those), plenty of ExoSquad bots, and the aforementioned Transformers and GoBots too. These days, such finds just don't happen but for maybe garage sales, thrift shops, or estate sales/storage auctions. The latter category I just don't frequent for it would make me feel like I'm benefiting off someone else's unwilling loss. Garage sales though? I drop everything if I can to stop because you never know...

Thanks. Yeah, I'd said earlier that I wasn't sure those are being distributed via the same channel as the HMR/DX figures, but just googled the Bandai hobby-level releases, and looks like it's Bandai Namco as well now. https://bandai-hobby.net/global/index.html That bodes well all-around, as I'm sure the better the hobby stuff sells, the more likely BN would solicit the HMR/DX stuff to shops too; even if Hobby Town or other craft-specific stores won't take them. Target has carried Gudam kits, so that door is open. Hell, I may stop into Michael's just to ask if they have them available.
