Can't think of any 00 units I'd want in my collection. Maybe Dynames. "Locku-won. Locku-won. Locku-won. Locku-won." -
Reminder for all interested in the upcoming VF-1S Hikaru PO. It's my list of all the retailers and their PO prices and open PO times for the VF-1A Max TV. This will help you plan your PO targets and back ups if you missed the bigger stores like HLJ, Ami, CDJ etc. Since I'm poor right now, my only option is to PO with Ami, CDJ or HLJ, so I can pay in Nov (the penalty is +10% AU tax for those stores), but AUD is pretty bad right now, so maybe it'll pick up by November and even out a little bit compared to paying upfront for the PO with another store right now (AE for example).

AE emailed to say my missile order is ready to ship. How long can AE hold items in storage for? It's not listed on their site anywhere.
-
Don't worry. Bandai has you covered with a TWE big Minmei background for your DX VF-1S.
-
I'll probably wait a long time to ship my missiles from AE. I'm in no rush and my 1Js are still not on display. Plus I need to allocate money to other purchases. The more pictures I see the more tempted I am to get a DYRL 1S Hikki and a set of FAST packs for that iconic DYRL scene, but if I have to pay up front I can't afford it right now so my only options are HLJ, CDJ and Ami. If I miss this then the decision is made for me.

A tough looking Sakura is better suited to the ARTFX-J line. Those more closely resemble the source material, whereas Bishoujo line accentuate the cute/moe look of the characters since they are all based on Shunya Yamashita's illustrations.
-
Agree! I hope they do bisho SFV Sakura and Karin. Both of those outfits are great!
-
Anyone excited for the Bishoujo Street Fighter Zero 3 (round 2) Sakura? It's on my wishlist. Looking forward to the sculpt reveal for Street Fighter Zero 3 Karin! These 2 will go really well together.

For all the added gimmicks, it's a shame some Yamarcadia gmmicks are not present. Removable covers to reveal inner detail on the missile bays and leg armor All the little added gimmicks added to the actual valk are fantastic independently articulate head lasers tightly tucked head in Fighter mode I didn't actually take noticed before, but the TV 1J and 1A canopy are not the TV design and are using the DYRL canopy design. Something that would be have a great addition. 1A head so you can display either 1A or 1S Hikaru. Extra head + ¥2000 - LOL! EDIT: Oh yeah and the DYRL HUD is different. I hope Bandai molded a new HUD for their DYRL cockpits.
-
Gorgeous, but lucky I'm not collecting DYRL. Hope TV Roy 1S and TV Super FAST packs will be following soon after.
-
Good chance this won't be fixed before they're released, since both USF2 Evil Ryu and Violent Ken had the same mistakes for the pants and top. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j-yKGPw2fa8
-
I think my fave part of these is the defeated screen face they come with! It's only a shame that these are USF2 and not world warrior. WW had some really funny defeated portraits.
-
I guess if they really want to be sprite accurate then both of them should have unripped gis. Haha. If Ken has the unripped pants then his top needs to be unripped too. You know Ryu should come with his red hadoken too since Ken comes with a hadoken and flaming shoryuken. A bit unfair.
-
Wow these are fantastic. They really captured the look from the in game artwork and mug shots. I'm also interested in their rendition of SSF2 Chun Li. Hope it's better than their effort with SFV Chun Li's face.
-
God forbid Bandai ever do a Perfect Finish version which just has the inclusion of Ejection Seat markings. LOL! or TWE decal sheet,
-
Very strange choice. The MB team do love to do derivative designs, like the MB Eva Unit-1. They're just not satisfied with traditional, which is evident in all their recent SEED releases which are super aggressively stylised.

Canon wise the super packs weren't deployed yet at the time that Max was still assigned a 1A. I have a vague recollection that he was upgraded to the 1J after he was married where he flew the virgin road 1D. The next time we see him in combat Max and Miria are both assigned 1J customs with Super Packs. Is that right? I'm still rewatching Robotech Vermilion edition and only up to when Max and Miria have their first encounter so only going off 25+ year ago memory. Either way I'd have to keep my 1A Max canon and not equipped with Super Packs for me. I just want 1 set of Super packs for a 1S Hikaru. I think I might actually buy a GBP if it was released. I did plan on displaying the 3x 1J Hikarus in each mode and passing on the GBP, but if a 1D was released (and I managed to secure one) it'd definitely be displayed in gerwalk so then I could have 1 of the 1Js equipped with the GBP.

I thought that was more so the Pringles slogan.

For all that you contribute to MWF with your site and reviews opening a patreon would be good, so we can all support you and the content you produce. That would help with purchasing all these expensive Macross toys. It'd definitely help take the sting off having to pay mark up price if you miss out during initial PO madness.
-
I'm actually glad I was cart jacked at HLJ. I ended up saving ¥1,780 ordering through Plaza Japan. And if I hadn't of preordered Plaza Japan and waited for AE I would have save another ¥470. Blessing in disguise. We have too much first world problem syndrome here.
-
If Okini Land end up being reliable I think they will be one of my go to places. Good price and no GST charge for Aussies. What was the shipping charge or is shipping charged later?

We keep blaming Bandai for not making enough or retailers for letting scalpers PO for the intent to make profit. We need to solely blame the scalpers for the PO shortage. Bandai only make enough for the local market. They're not producing Macross toys for Western markets. Retailers can't stop scalpers from buying all the stock. Even with a limit 1 restriction, scalpers know how to circumvent this limit, in the same way they do it for con exclusives and bricks and mortar stores in Japan. Using a solution of making more units would work in the short term, but in the long term it would be a problem for Bandai. The first few times the scalpers all get burned because everyone is able to secure a PO, so they end unable to make significant profit from their investment. If the pattern continues the scalpers stop investing. Once this happens Bandai will end up producing too many units since scalpers aren't buying. They then scale back production numbers and the scalpers return once minor scarcity is the norm, and it just terrible cycle begins again. I don't know why Bandai can't produce standard releases in the same fashion as TWE releases (made to order). Japan is so backwards in some things so it could even be logistical in nature.

Bandai Online are still taking missile POs https://www.bandaionline.com/dx-chogokin-missile-set-for-vf-1/

someone should 3D print missiles for the tail fins to mimic the Max animation error.
