    I have same issue with HLJ tried a dozen times over a month, three different browsers, 4 different devices, customer support says they fixed twice.i had a preorder for a Darktail and could not cancel as I just bought from Plaza Japan instead. I had same issue with AliExpress I can create an account and use it then never be able to log back in. I've tried every trick online others have to no good result. I'm somewhat savvy for my needs in software having been a programmer in the past I'm very familiar with Python, Java ,C+. Your not alone in the issue but just Google search what you want and buy from someone else imo. Lots of smaller stores offer good deals too and fast shipping.

    I forgot to mention what would be really Awesomes would be if they did offer white fast pack armor with color highlights to match the Angelbirds. well it might not look cannon that way but it would be eye caching Imo.

    I really don't mind the yellowing myself ether if its uniform as well, I know many can't stand to see it, but for me its like a patina of being vintage. alot of vintage clear toys from the 70's/80's sadly they yellowed inside and can never be cleaned and do not look so well uncordially .

    I'm looking forward to the reviews and if they ever offer them complete with fast packs. I might pick one up, but I'm still concerned by a toy without an official scale size. I've had my Arcee on preorder forever and they were passing out review samples in the early spring. not sure if they are going to be any faster here.

    Thanks, I bought 2 of the J-Heads to display in fighter mode and robot mode. Strangely I've signed up for the newsletter, but they never send one. I am impressed they are starting to move into fan favorited variations, they made a mistake with the god of flame both in changing the limited amounts numbers and trying to court customers from a different genera who have way different expectations and who are already somewhat spoiled with 3rd/4th party offerings. I've seen the GOF going for as low $75 on the bay and many will never even get half what they paid for it as of right now and feel burned.( I still think in the future these could become for desirable) but that's ok to me its still a nice toy to display and I still like it,, we can't always win on everything. I would love to buy a KC SuperOstridge & EliteSeeker and even Metallic paint ones too

    I've had the thoughts and BBTS never got any yet as well.

    I cheated, it's in a dark room and I put an industrial flood light to get decent pictures

    Thank you, I just looked and found that the one you mentioned was in my area, but closed down, from a lack of sales because of the Sniffles Pandemic two years back. Kinda of a bummer

    That's Based! I thinks it might be because its part of the Milton Bradley Universe were Optimus Prime does not exist and Jetfire is the Autobot Leader. my 86 one has a trace of that on the back in Dutch it states " Lieder Van De Autobots " that translate into " Leader of the Autobots " . you probably already know about the MB version coming with a wild mini comic with G1 Jetfire fighting Megatron on the cover. I'm thinking any good deal on finding one was grabbed up long ago, but I hold out hope.

    Has anyone ever Invited the PR person from Arcadia to the Forums to discuss things?

    I'm really not a big cinephile. it's been so long since going to theaters, is the Imax the best? is there a brand of movie theater I'm going to get the best experience watching Minus One?

    I had to look at my grandfathers picture on the wall and smile , it was taken a year before my family was deported from Georgia to Oklahoma in 1934 after the state seized the reservation. in all fairness I think he would have liked this toy . not defending the CCCP it's just an old saying he told me was anytime I pointed one finger at someone I always had three fingers pointing back.

    Waiting for someone to do a masterpiece scale of the Hindenburg Blimp or WW1 Biplanes. loving all the Ship Transformers and the giant railgun one.

    I've just back back from the toy convention with a new horse for my stable 1986 Hasbro 1/55 Scale Jetfire European Edition! ... this is Much Rarer then the 1985 Milton Bradley European Edition(That one I'm still looking for as it's still rare) what makes this one special is it's complete, almost unused contents and box is not totally worn out. I really got lucky with this as not many even know they exist or that they made a 1986 Jetfire.

    That's mostly true out of the heat and sun light but also in a room with dehumidifier to remove the water in the air and temps at between 65 to 70. moisture/Water is a solvent that creates the surface of the toy a chemical reaction that helps start the yellowing process combined with oxygen in the air. might not hurt to use a food grade vacuum sealer on some things that lets moisture out while not letting it back in. food for thought

    Its made by Cangdao, the Vermilion Bird, its based on the four holy beasts in Chinese lore its a modern interpretation inspired by Gunpla Design. Its a limited run that once sold out its going to be 4x the costs on secondary markets as the other beasts already are. you can find it on Gundammit/ShowZ or BBTS Next year its likely they will be doing a dark phoenix's version(Nemesis Version) and that will a limited as well. What i find most interesting is no matter what ethnic group and no matter how remote from others they were going back almost 10k years, they always had a phoenix/thunderbird type god/goddess written down, painted or passed down orally.

    Been watching Be Brave(Brave Series) & other foundational Anime. seems to be a lessor known influence of bigger well known later series.

    I ran across about a dozen or more private issue or college made robotech comic's on Ebay in the last year or so. they all seemed very low population and were none cannon mostly. they were professionally done and would be hard to tell they were not done by a big licensee name. not sure if they were worth much but rare indeed to see in the wild.

    My Gundam Goddess came in Saturday. I was super Excited!🫠 Really happy with it, really has a high quality feel to it and its's a work of art in it's own way.

    Yeah Chipzilla is the king of refreshes but I've heard 15th gen is a big leap ahead but Imo more likely a skipped gen(outside of laptops) strait to 16th gen. I just upgrade my graphics card last night from a 6800xt to a 7900xt as I'm getting back into graphics design/3D modeling and preparing to get into 3D Printing and wanted that extra boost in acceleration from AI accelerators. my current system i would like to last until 2027/2028 everything inside is all mature stable hardware based on AM4/ PCI 4.0 all tucked inside a Lian Li case.

    Really excited for this movie! will be the first time visiting a movie theater in over a decade for this one.

    Would be a good thing Imo if someone comes out with a custom 1/55 style head for these. to me it looks more akin to a VF-2SS face profile, that's perfect because Imo its the best looking Valkyrie ever made.

    Looking into working with a customizer to bring out a Jetfire w/ Fast Pack converson kit. I'll need to buy one, send it to him as a template then he can offer them to others

    They have the new Blitzway KO on preorder at ShowZ for $180 Link
  25. Spark-O-Matic
    The way everyone is talking here these are going to be the modern versions of the Toynami Masterpieces or the 1992 Bandai VF-1? all the proportions are off/nothing looks correct? nothing compatible with anything else that's been made? not even an official scale? ....to me they look great, but, these are not transformers were the visual standards are very different when it comes to Macross exact series detail is the very most important thing. ThreeZero is a great transformers Brand, I'm just uncertain they could be a great Macross/Robotech Brand outside of the initial releases for the long term.
