    Chill. Everyone has different opinions and experiences when it comes to these toys (Bandai, Yamato and Arcadia). Some of my DX Renewals I love, others I really hate. The same can/could be said for Yamato/Arcadia items I've purchased. And people have favorites based on their experience, nothing elitist or snobbish about it. Apples to Oranges is pretty apt though when comparing the two companies currently making transformable Macross mecha. -b.

    Yeah, for sure our own personal experience will color our perspective on things. I want to say give it a go again somewhere down the line now that you know what to expect (adult-vision vs. my childhood nostalgia-vision) - I thought it was cool that despite the interaction between Death and Thanos that he was able to still put a beat down on the entire universe. -b.

    LOL 5 (or however many) years later Bandai is still making toys from the series, movies and games. So regardless of whoever had the "say" in Isamu's cameo, Bandai as the series sponsor gets to capitalize on that appearance by making a toy. That tons of people are currently clamoring for off of just a handful of pictures. -b.

    *insert why so serious meme* Glad I read this as a kid, I just thought it was a cool comic book story centered around a pretty kick-ass bad guy. Sorry you didn't like it Mommar. -b.

    Nice pics! I've decided to keep mine boxed (well, once it arrives) - for one I don't have the room to display it and two it's not that appealing a design for me to box something up to make space (like the RVF-25 or Alto's 171EX or anything else). -b.

    That's not cynicism my good sir, that's good business sense. Cartoons/Anime/Whatever are produced these days to sell additional merchandise - Macross is no exception. I agree that it will be nice to have this to display next to Isamu's YF-29. Really looking forward to seeing some Fighter pics and getting solid details on how this is going to be released. The 19 has always been one of my favorite Valkyries (so much so that I still have a MISB copy of Yamato's v1 1/72 YF-19 ). -b.

    ugh -b.

    Well when you put it that way... -b.

    Agree, I like the promo shots and the dynamic poses that Bandai chose. BUT There is no way on Earth I'm ever going to pose mine the same way, more often than not the DX Chogokin Valkyries have had their joints loosen over time. And it didn't matter if they were displayed in Fighter or Battroid (static or dynamic). Hopefully Bandai is able to correct that issue with this release, especially with the emphasis on pose-ability in these pictures. -b.

    Probably meant, non-transforming and non-Valkyrie releases. Most recently Display Stands. I guess. -b.

    !!!!!!!!!! -b.

    For sure this one will have a brace and some other head-scratching feature. That being said, to be fair so does company Y/A with their releases. I'm down for two on general principle but I am incredibly curious about how Fighter mode will look followed closely by price and availability. *And I agree with you arrow that there is a need for at least one other re-issue in the form of a VF-25G along with adequate stock of the upcoming VF-25S -b.

    Yeah, that is weak sauce, enjoy Thanos Quest though. I now feel the need to go and track down M/NM copies. My biggest fear for these movies is that Ultron will have set the bar too high w regard to movie-verse villains. That trailer is so creepy and does such a good job establishing him as something to be fearful of that I already have more "fear" of him than I do of movie-verse Thanos. -b.

    Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines wasn't a horrible Terminator movie, IMO the ending was one of the best of the series. I just really hated Nike Stahl as John Connor and it ruined the movie for me. Silly enough reason I suppose, but casting the main protagonist is kind of a big deal. Terminator Salvation from beginning to end felt like one big gigantic missed opportunity. Even the extended edition from the home release, which was much better than the theatrical release couldn't alleviate the issues with the movie. Namely how relatively clean the future looked *and there was way too much Sam Worthington. My expectations were just way too high for the movie, hence my disappointment. I really do hope this one will be good, but I'm not going to hold my breath simply for not wanting to be let down. -b. *edit for grammar

    Nice shots Murphy. Parts removal for sure on this. Also, I just now clued in to the fact that this is a VF-19 vs. YF-19 (duh)... -b.

    BBTS just processed my pre-order for the Hasbro Asia MP-10 Prime re-issue. -b.
  20. Kanedas Bike
    Ha! Nice analogy sir. Depends on the release, as that's certainly not always the case. -b.

    Honestly, I don't want a straight up head-to-head competition between Bandai and Arcadia. They can both have Macross but each company brings their own flare to the table and the thought of a Bandai-only Macross market gives me shudders. And an imaginary Bandai DX VF-1 would have to be flat-out amazing, inexpensive and easy to acquire to make me entertain the notion of replacing or buying the same VF-1's that Yamato released. In the same vein as if Arcadia came out with a v3 VF-1. Could be what's used to attach the shield to fighter mode, some sort of gimmick or both. Hey, one never knows. And it doesn't cost a thing to "hope". -b.

    You know would be even more incredibly amazingly awesome? Is if Bandai offers this thru the US Web Shop; http://shop.tamashii.jp/ Original thread here; http://www.macrossworld.com/mwf/index.php?showtopic=41822 Edit* Ok, Tamashii Nation had an event (Pics at TAG Hobby http://www.taghobby.com/9-0/9-2/2014%E5%B9%B410%E6%9C%8831%E6%97%A5-11%E6%9C%882%E6%97%A5-tamashii-nation-2014%E7%A7%8B%E8%91%89%E5%8E%9F-%E5%B1%95%E5%93%81-dx%E8%B6%85%E5%90%88%E9%87%91super-robot-%E8%B6%85%E5%90%88%E9%87%91/) which featured this DX Chogokin YF-19, the new DX Chogokin Renewal Monster and a few other items. Is it a correct assumption that we don't know if this will be "event only", "web exclusive" or "regular release"? -b.
  23. Kanedas Bike
    LOL! -b.

    First reaction: WHAT THE ACTUAL WHAT. Second reaction: I can't wait for someone to take my money for this. The same thought crossed my mind as well. Dollars to donuts there won't be a clear-cut winner. There will be some pretty obvious pros and cons with each release after it's all said and done. Advantage Arcadia for ease of purchase (see below and/or pre-order madness). So...this means this is an event only item? Confused... -b.

    www.imdb.com Edit to add, if you haven't seen Edge of Tomorrow it's well worth your time (IMHO). Exactly, she was amazing in that - acting ability and the ability to handle action. It'll be interesting to see who is actually cast and then even more interesting to see the various reactions to that choice. -b.
