    Changed up my MacZero display a little bit. I'm really glad Bandai included stands with these and made them this dark brownish color, so any discoloration that might occur in the future won't be noticeable. The decals are a great touch too. I've sworn off buying any more of those overpriced clear tamashii stands after my old Stage Act 2 set eventually yellowed over time. Plus the connection between those tubular stand arms and the joints becomes loose over time and use. I did need to mod the battroid stand connector so I could mount the VF-0A on the sturdier main stand arm and get it that low and angled... plus I really don't like having to use the fighter mode wings and spread them open so they don't hit the stand arm.

    HMR battroids are more fun to pose than the 1/60s. It's odd that the battroid stand connector for the HMR VF-0 has a peg instead of a hole like with the fighter and gerwalk connectors. I had to clip off the peg and drill a hole and then use a Figma adapter for this to work.

    I'm jealous... still no sign of my threezero VF-1S arriving locally. I can't wait to get my hands on it.

    Finally secured my preorders for the Riobot Tread and 2 x Legioss ETA reissue from a local shop. Seeing as the preorder deadline is until Mar. 6, I wasn't in too much of a hurry. Came out to around $625 for the 3 with a $75 downpayment. This is gonna be a long wait...

    Thanks. Really loving the VF-4. Still have an extra one sealed... thinking about whether to keep it and display in Gerwalk mode which always reminds me of the original sketch. But my main motivation to display it in a flying pose in battroid is to be able to use the stand with Misa and Minmay on it. Tweaked it a little bit so it's mounted higher on the stand and more centered to the position of the 1/60.

    Very nice Saber and Alita figures. Would love to have an Alita (live action) in 1/12 scale. just received my Takara Springer to go along with its identical Hasbro twin... so I'd have another one to transform and display in alt mode/s.

    Only way I can see this happening is if Bandai decides to produce a new show (Mospeada: Frontier ???) and believe they can market their merch during its run. But then the characters and story would probably end up more like Delta than the original or even the genesis breakers side story.

    After being in GERWALK mode for the past few months, I finally transformed my HMR VF-4 to permanently be displayed in battroid with the 1/60.

    Which part? The movies or the losing interest in Macross? For me it's the latter. I only got sucked back in by the Mac0 HMRs and the reissues by Bandai. Buying new Macross merch made me want to rewatch the various Macross series (Mac+, Mac0, DYRL, Flashback, and I'm currently slow watching MacF. I'll try to rewatch Mac2 when I get the HMR VF-2SS reissue)... except Delta .

    I'd bet on threezero beating arcadia to it. I really regret selling the one I bought for cheap in HK long ago.

    I keep staring at Max's face sculpt and comparing it to the face sculpts of Hikaru 1.0 and 2.0 and I feel like KC took a step backwards and used the more cartoonish features (eyes, nose and mouth) of flight suit Hikaru instead of the updated face sculpt.

    Finally lucked out and found one of these for a good price. Didn't really want to pay full retail just for an accessory pack. Just really wanted the gatling gun.

    I thought I would be more excited to finally have a not ver. 1 Armored 25S in my collection after pining for it all these years. The valk I just couldn't get at a reasonable price and got me so pissed off at Bandai's shenanigans that I decided to quit collecting all those years ago. I am glad to finally tick one more box and happy that my copy doesn't have any qc issues, but I may need to rewatch the first part of MacF to get more excited about this.

    Hi-Metal R

    Don't forget HMR VF-25s. It's been a while since the crappy VF100s (used to have the armored alto)... about time to use what they've learned from refining the HMR line and renewal-ing and then revival-ing the DX chogokins.

    Been waiting for this reissue. Glad I didn't bite on any of the ones I saw on the secondary market.
