  1. Ah, @Shawn Having a bad weekend? 😂 I can understand somewhat about the size of the tail-fin, but honestly the DX version isn't all that bad! the wing lights would have been nice to mach the other Valk's... But what really bugs me about this Bird is that the went ahead and did the mold for the "Mech-guts" version and then just left it unpainted!? like WTF!? Although I did see that someone on FB did paint it, sadly I don't us FB so I wasn't able to download the pic... Ok found it picture from Atto Kempler FB account...

    Hi-Metal R

    Yes, would be great getting all someday.... But I want all of these in 1:48 and these in Highmetal-R 🤪 And a Splatoon of Scopedogs to make it look good! 🤣
  3. Who or where did you order from that it's taking so long?

    Hi-Metal R

    Just ordered a HWR-00-MKII from mandrake! So it looks like I'm joining the HM-R side as well....🤪 Hope it comes in good condition!?
  5. @tekering Thanks for the picture! Although this bird doesn't do it for me either...🤔
  6. Thanks! I saw that @jenius reviewed some Takara's a couple of month ago which where the ones I had when I was younger.... Maybe he'll get some HM'R and let us know how they are!?
  7. Since I hade some Scope Dogs when I was younger, I was wandering how good are the Hi-MetalR versions from Bandai? Are they worth collecting or is there something better out there?
  8. Bandai 2002 Chunky Monkey reissue there where 7 different versions released between 2002/4 The one on the left is an old Takatoku/Bandai and the one on the right is the rerelease....
  9. posted over 6 years ago on page 43...
  10. So a question for those like me hoping for a VF-1A or J Mass Production version, Would you prefer the lighter or darker version of this bird? The series wasn't very colour consistent back then, with pictures of darker or lighter brown versions... Since the original 1/55 Chunky Monkey was pretty dark, the High Metal R is light in comparison I do hope they do the Brown Thrusters/Feet on the DX version when they release it! What are you're thoughts on this?
  11. I second that! 😉
  12. Mandrake will probably be your best choice at the moment! you can get notification per email for the one you want! https://order.mandarake.co.jp/order/listPage/list?keyword=dx chogokin&lang=en
  13. Well we are almost there..... and you know what we say...
  14. Although this year has been eventful with VF-1 releases, 3 for 2024. Its sad that other then the Ostrich we got basically two remakes and one was a fantasy model, this year could have been better! but at least it was better then 2022 where we got nothing at all! Hope they hit us with something at the Tamashii event on the 15th of November, Still think the Elintseeker might be next!? and then get back to releasing new stuff in 2025! 🤔I'm also hope full to eventually getting a Cannon Fodder sometime soon...
  15. I honestly think they didn't think these things through in 1982-84, they just wanted to get the show with all the episodes needed out there! And could finish off the fine detail. Today you would do things differently since a lot of people have internet and can do some research to look things up. but a lot of mistakes with numbers, names, and small details where made back then.... Would have also thought that since it's the 40th Anna of D.Y.R.L. Bandai would have used it to finish off the Skull Squadron at least!? But the love to torture us! 😈
  16. So according to this, the Macross Bandai DX Chogokin 1/48 VF-1J Valkyrie (Hikaru Ichijo) "Macross Since 1982" edition will be available on the 15th, of November and come in a red box...!?
  17. I also have the VT-1 mounted without the backpack brace, the boosters will hold onto the backpack with the pegs in both the backpack and middle backpack booster. I wouldn't pick up the the VT-1 using the boosters though!
  18. I think the design idea for the 2 seat in step up seating position was taken back in 1984 from the Suchoi Su-27 wich was the only fighter that had this kind of seat configuration back then.
  19. Figure King 319 isn't bad either, almost 40 pages on D.Y.R.L. 40th Anna, with some nice interviews and toy info.... Sadly nothing new presented though.
  20. It doesn't really say Anniversary on the stand, but just since 1982, Although it would have been great if they included a chunky monkey for comparison! and yes they could have done any other Valkerie, too celebrate Macross since 1982! Instead of the third release of this bird!? But I think Bandai just wants to torture their customers at the moment! 😈
  21. There is always a Teese... 🥵
  22. Someone posted a video of the 40th Anna. Macros Vf-1J, from this I can't tell a difference too the launch version!? other then the stand or AMM-1's guess we will see in November?
  23. Oops, That's 1 zero too much, meant 36,000 yen 🤪
  24. Thanks for the picks! Ordered a copy for myself so I'll enjoy it when it comes....
  25. So I caved and got one for 36,000 Yen.... But not opening it since I don't have gloves. 🤪
