From others I've talked to outside these forums that live in Japan, Hong Kong, and other countries, yes, they are. That phenomenon isn't coming from over-saturation, or high prices. It has to do with no news. In just about every business, lack of news during a business acquisition, merger, or whatever this is, is usually never good news for the product if there's no updates. Maybe they don't know what they're going to do with the license, but that's something that should at least be mentioned. In any case, no updates makes anyone worry, not just the hardcore fans here.

I'm currently playing through the game a second time, and one thing I've noticed that bothers me about the transformation, is the tail wings, and how they just kinda stay attached by a small connection point. I don't know how accurate the game is, but if it is, the tail wings are oddly positioned in Battroid, and just stand out like a sore thumb. Front looks great, but the back of the battroid looks like a hot mess (insert Jack-in-the-Box Hot mess song here).

They should make a 1/60 Orguss. If this is the end for Macross toys, at least we can all admit, it was one helluva run. Still waiting for Graham's word back on this situation. It'd be nice if they (Arcadia) would give word on the status of the license. I think they're starting to lose faith from the fans for this franchise.

My one missing link. I didn't get one of these when the first versions came out, so I'm anxious to get it this time.
-
I just got the Mave last week. It is one loaded toy,,, loaded with awesomeness, and ordinance galore. I wish it was a larger scale, but I'm really glad I waited for this thing.
-
You may also want to watch Macross Plus, and if you want to get more of the major plot, Macross 7. 7 is a harder show to watch, but it does belong in the timeline. SDF:Macross and DYRL are supposedly in the same timeline, Zero is before that, but Plus takes place around 2040, 7 around 2045, Frontier in 2059.

Yeah, still looking for it. I haven't been looking as hard as I once was, simply due to the fact that I've been looking so long, I've just been a little burned out with looking. As of now, I'm also playing catchup to the new Mac Chronicles magazines. Kinokuniya is just now getting them in, but I'm a few short. If you do find a sketchbook A, let me know.

I'm sure a few people have ideas to make it work. I've been running a few of my own, but I've been a little lazy, and haven't pulled out my 11B. Can't wait to get the update. Quick question: will this be available for purchase on shapeways, and if so, are you going to hollow out the booster?
-
Looks great. I'll be getting one for sure.
-
Put me down for one. Looks awesome.
-
That's just a ridiculous price for that. Even at the 29000 JPY, that's more than the Gold book.
-
While I like the design, I'm not all that excited over the fact that they are putting out different models it seems every couple of months. I feel as though they (Bandai) is just throwing out all these new model designs just to sell them, not for functionality, or story. It takes a lot out of the beauty and importance of these new models. It's probably more of a way to just make money now. Well, that's my opinion.

I've put one together, and they are very time consuming, but I wouldn't say difficult. Then again, I have built quite a few different things, so maybe it's only easier because of that? In any case, you really need to make sure you do it right the first time. It's a pain if you have to dismantle any parts you put together. They aren't great for ful paint jobs, but if you're going to do one, make sure the white is the primary color and use any paint as just trim on less or non-moving parts.

Thanks, I'm a little flubbed, trying to find one to order, and I'm not going to pay over the top prices, like the blue costume Sheryl from a few years ago. It's a maybe $60-75 figure that is only sold for around $200, for no real reason. If that happens to this one, I'll be a bit angry, no doubt. Anyways, I appreciate the link. Thanks. I've never used them, but if they have some good stuff, I'll try them.
-
Do you have a link for that site? It's complete Order stop at hlj.
-
And won't acetone on that plastic eat it up a bit? I started making some custom decals for mine, but it will be awhile before it's ready and have them on.
-
Is it from the Gold book?
-
You can find it in the toy section, under collection display thread.
-
Shouldn't all this be in the toy section, in the display thread?
-
I get that. I truly do, but that's why hlj and ami ami probably sell out in a minute as well, even without the 10 quantity limit. If I could've, I would've gone there as well, but that's the way of the beast when it comes to merchandise. I had to preorder mine at NY, and while not happy about it, I'm OK with finances to be able to get it. My only other choice is not getting one, so it is what it is, and we all have to make choices accordingly.
-
This has happened over and over with Bandai over what, the past year? I'm not going to blame HLJ for anything, nor would I even bother writing a letter to them. While it's great and all that they will "redistribute" the large purchases, Bandai has made the choice to make so few. If anyone feels the need to let their nerd rage runneth over, do it with Bandai. I'm sure they care, like having a bullet in the head. I've always been late to the preorder party, and managed to get them all so far, so it can't be the end of the world because of it. Proves my point.

I think that ship sailed a long time ago. I think that was more of a bunch of false information by HG to make it seem as if they're actually doing things. Toynami wasn't really advertising it, just HG. That should be a telling sign.
-
Got my kit, but not sure if the helmetted face was supposed to come with the vacu-formed clear plastic. Mine came without it.
-
I can't stop looking at it. It's just so damn awesome! I haven't transformed it yet, as I have way too many other things of great importance to do, so it's in the box now. Even the box looks awesome.
-
Got one of mine today, and well, HELL YEAH!!! This toy is awesome! The weight, feel, and size of it is just amazing. The engineering is top notch. Great release from Yamato.
