  1. ^ whoever bought that obviously didn't know about YJA.

    Hi-Metal R

    do you have a guide for doing the missile trails using hot glue?
  3. this one starts from around 14:30 of the video Shawn posted but has much clearer picture
  4. I've seen the 1/55 GBP in several members' collection photos on various threads.
  5. It's all here, take a look and decide if any of them are 100% alike
  6. I doubt any Macross toy would get past the final stage due to licensing. Even Voltron is still being reviewed, and that probably has a clear-cut licensing situation.
  7. Saw it last Wednesday. Ridiculous mash-up of the Avengers and Ocean's Eleven with cars. Enjoyed it well enough.

    Hi-Metal R

    POed 1 at HLJ. So easy!
  9. nobody knows so far, we're all waiting for a premium finish announcement in a month or so...

    Hi-Metal R

    I'm just thinking to myself, if Messer had a VF-1 EX for training delta pilots, this would probably what it would look like.

    Hi-Metal R

    Scheme looks nice on the VF-1. Definitely unexpected from bandai, possibly a rare bird in the future. Will probably pick one up (I still have the Arcadia NASCAR 30th anniversary 1J as well). And N-Y is preparing the HM-R missile sets for shipping!
  12. People who want 1/60 milia but didn't get in the PO and can't afford Yamato pricing...
  13. IIRC those replies by Mr. K regarding wastage % were about the Arcadia VF-0 series which was not a reissue but a new design.
  14. The robot spirits Q-rare might look undersized compared to Hi-metal R, they're more in scale with the revoltech battroids as seen from jenius' site: here's the 1/60 Q-rau compared to the 1/60 Yamato v2 in battroid (again from jenius' site):
  15. you could also try linking a bank account to your paypal and top up your paypal balance, then use that to pay HLJ manually (send JPY amount to paypal@hlj.com & quote your HLJ customer ID number & order number). but it will use paypal's conversion rate.
  16. preordered at HLJ
  17. shame they never reissued that for the 30th anniversary.

    Toy Manufacturing

    except the toy factories Arcadia uses aren't Japanese anymore... they'd probably repurpose the defective parts for KOs
  19. How can I pass on an extra Messer PO (I have amiami/HLJ POs) to a fellow board member?
  20. It says it's a hasegawa 1/72 0S, probably a model kit.
  21. Across the board decrease or just specific ones?
  22. a review's already been done, by forbes even. https://www.forbes.com/sites/olliebarder/2017/04/01/vf-1s-strike-valkyrie-hikaru-ichijo-custom-toy-review-better-than-any-jetfire/#14fe8c451c4b tldr; It's exactly the same Yamato v2 VF-1 mold apart from the bright white plastic, black hand covers and additional tampo (even the strike parts have additional markings). You can view this as a good or bad thing. Long time collectors of the old Yamato releases, skilled modelers, or anybody who doesn't like double dipping will say this is how it should've been initially reissued by Arcadia. Others without the skill or patience to apply the decals may find it as a worthwhile upgrade to their collection.
  23. lol so much lazy animation for M&M
