Pro stands already sold out? Been refreshing periodically since last night and they all say sold out.

Hip plates still painted wrong.

Hmmm not enough Delta valks to fill out the shelf...

Been on the fence on this one for awhile now. As much as I love Xenogears and the mecha designs from it, the price is pretty steep for what is essentially an 8 inch non-transforming action figure with no accessories whatsoever. Is the build quality top notch, with diecast used where needed for strength and stability? If we go by the previous Play Arts/Bring Arts/Whatever Arts version of Weltall, then no. That thing looked nice, but felt really cheap and flimsy once I had it in hand. This impression was only cemented when one of the "backpack" parts snapped clean off while I was adjusting it. That was some crappy, weak, & brittle plastic they were using. It did have diecast feet for stability IIRC, so that was one point in its favor. I'll wait till after release and see what other people think of it. If it's actually good and still available after release, then I might get one. Otherwise, I'd rather not get burned by SE's questionable level of quality again.

Speaking of missiles that cost as much as the valk... https://order.mandarake.co.jp/order/detailPage/item?itemCode=1277685811&keyword=マクロス&lang=en

I wish Bandai would rebuild the Frontier line from scratch and tampo the hell out of it like they're doing with the 1/48 line. I know they tend to go a little overboard but I think it would be worth the price hike over buying a 10+ year old toy with a matte finish and practically non-existent improvements.

Finally opened my copy now that I'm setting up my Delta shelf. In person the colors aren't bad at all. But the parts fit seems even worse than Hayate and Mirage's. The gunpod won't even stow properly in fighter mode; it just falls right off no matter what I do. Some of the panels under the wing won't stay flush at all. And the wing tabs, instead of being too big to fit into the leg slots, are now too loose and don't really plug in securely. You suck, Bandai.

Man, with the weak yen this reissue will be a good deal cheaper than the original release, barring any crazy retailer mark-ups. I might actually pick one up for the hell of it.

The modex is printed backwards on my 1J.

I do know of a way to fix the sagging wings on the tornado packs.

Delta is the worst Macross series because it was both incredibly boring and had no idea what it wanted to be. Was it supposed to be a mecha series that happened have idols in it? Or an idol series that happened to have mecha in it? I don't think even Kawamori knows (or cares because he already got a dump truck full of money from Bandai). Anyway, hope they fix the issues the "renewal" 27 had, like the improperly painted stripes around the hip armor. Though they botched the chest stripes on the revival 25 so I'm not counting on it.

Hope they fixed the sagging when the wing attachments are on. Anyone who has the renewal tornado packs knows.

Still the best Delta valk.

The little rubbery feet on the stands have indeed yellowed over time. One entire row is more than enough to house all the Delta releases. The new cases will allow me to split SDF and DYRL and allow me to display the rest of Frontier and 7. Then there's the HMRs and 1/48 DX to add to that... I could rearrange everything into in-universe chronological order... but Delta would still end up on the bottom shelf.
