    Too young. I still watch Top Secret for some nostalgic laughs, and The Saint, which is my wife's favorite Val movie, every now and then. I felt a little sad when I watched his documentary. RIP.

    Not really that excited to watch it myself. And I have no interest in rewatching the entire Seed and Destiny series before watching the movie. Just gonna watch it for the Mobile Suits, the action scenes and just for the sake of completing the series.

    I remember the first 10 or so eps were so tough for me... almost gave up on it a few times. loved it after all was said and done. After consuming mostly isekai and some other seinen anime and some netflix stuff the past year, I started to miss watching mecha shows so I've been rewatching Code Geass, Macross Zero, Mac Plus, Mac II, and just finished Macross Frontier TV (didn't take things too seriously this time around and just enjoyed the music, mecha action, and the copious amounts of nostalgia evoking callbacks and homages). Not sure if I want to watch the movies just yet so I'm moving on to Gundam 00 and maybe finally watch the new Gundam Seed movie.

    just when I felt a tinge of FOMO from the pics you posted... but then I quickly reminded myself of its face and those thighs, no space (and, honestly, no place) on my Mospeada shelf, and that I have to pay for the Tread and Legioss later this year. I'm sure it's a great toy from the looks of it (just like their Goshogun that I've been ogling) but just not for me given my current collecting habits.

    Surprised by the price. Wish they would include the decals to make it look like the PF... would be tempted if they did.

    I'm still waiting for mine (taking sooooo long for the local shop I preordered it from to get it). My fave looking bike and in armor mode too and really wanted another set of saddle bags and weapons. My original Yellow has cracks on both sides which I put a tiny amount of super glue in to fill the gap and covered with some unused grey decals. I thought the reissues wouldn't have this issue anymore since those parts on my Hoquet look different/sturdier and show no signs of cracking or even stress marks. Now I'm worried.

    Same. It's really been forty years ... and memory is a little fuzzy due to being older, but I still remember being able to watch a few SDFM eps. (and even DYRL later on) on some UHF channel on TV in the 80's. Of course it was in Japanese and I couldn't understand anything... and I was much too young to undersrand or care about anything else (plot, character development etc.) except the cool planes transforming into much cooler robots. And then there were the jarring images of those weird looking zentradi ships in space! But as a 10 yr old staying with my aunt in LA in the mid-80's, I was able to watch a good chunk of Robotech 1, 2 and 3 (and wanted to be like Rick and Scott, had crushes on Lisa and Dana)... good times. Of course life and growing up happened and I only realized the connection and the truth more than a decade and a half later. But the word Valkyrie had already been seared in my brain and had a meaning for me not connected to Norse mythology. I still find it amazing even after so long since Macross F first aired, that Macross is still alive and well in Japan. So much so that I don't really think about Robotech much. But it's good for the toy collectors here that there are now more Chinese companies making SDFM (and Mospeada) products by using the Robotech license. Man, that's the most times I've mentioned the word R*****ch in a long time

    Yeah, the artwork of both are very nice indeed. I appreciate them equally but I have a soft spot for the latest HMR releases coz they also feature characters from the respective shows, not just the VFs... I can just imagine Isamu on the box art of a HMR YF-19. C'mon Bandai, do it!

    Fortunate to have found one of these, esp. for less than $100, since this wasn't a retail release. Edit... took a quick peek and was surprised that this comes with those extra replacement bits for mounting the ghost and micro missile launchers, but Roy didn't get any.

    This...

    Would love to see those when you get them done. Good luck! Don't have Blurr (ugly arms) but Magnus and Kup didn't make the cut for the quick photo op .

    Another cool thing about these newer and reissued HMRs are the really nice box artwork, so much so that I've started wrapping these in clear plastic and "displaying" them on top of my toy display cabinets.

    Same. Exactly. Plus, I was hoping a 1/60 version would be a viable option for me. ...excited and can't wait too that I rummaged through my old stuff that's stored away to find my CMs Ishtar

    That looks awesome! Found a good use for one of my unused Riobot stands... as a flight stand to display Springer in helo mode.
