Too much going on with that design. a dish that becomes a shield with a gun that looks like a lance. Oddly long and weirdly angled canards. Forward swept wings with guns at the tip? And it's wearing what looks like some kind of Aussie sports uniform/tracksuit.

Yeah, that too... Although I'm not really one to dwell on the unrealized value of any toy in my collection. And if I ever do sell anything, I just look to possibly get back what I originally spent and I would just as quickly spend the proceeds to buy something new to add to the collection. I've never really been a Max guy and back then I had to choose between keeping my 2 1D trainers (one in F-mode or Gerwalk and the other permanently in battroid with those seat accessories), which, to this day, is my favorite VF-1 variant... or give one up and keep the Virgin Road. But if 3Zero decides to make one, then all will be right in the world. IF I did have any kind of foresight back then, I would have invested in something, other than toys, that would make me filthy rich now ✌️ ... and a Merry Christmas to everyone here on MW

3Zero can only produce valks from Macross TV... what you can wish for is the Alaska Base green 1A that even Yamato during their heyday weren't able to get to (there was a prototype if I'm not mistaken). In hindsight, yeah I'm kicking myself . but to be fair that was during a time when Yamato were churning out valks left and right from both MacTV and DYRL, and I didn't have as much cab space and disposable income back then as I do now.

Aside from a 1D trainer, I hope 3Zero makes their own 1D Virgin Road... still regret selling the one I got in HK a long time ago.

Just a couple of quick pics in fighter

Love the paint job on the Robo Dou M&Ms. I was thinking the same thing... was there a dream sequence part that I missed where Ben got to finish his steak and became a squadron leader?

Finally received my Riobot Legioss reissue with Robotech branding at the back of the box. Very satisfied to finally complete the Legioss trio. Although I did it backwards... Iota, Zeta and Eta last . Just quickly took a peek to make sure it's the latest reissue with the golden eyes like the Zeta. Too bad though about the Tread. That Robotech branding may have something to do with it becoming a Japan-only release. My crazy theory is Sentinel either drastically cut their planned production numbers to only serve the domestic preorders and totally disregard all the confirmed international preorders... OR... they went ahead with their planned production run and somewhere (probably a warehouse in China) there's a ton of Treads just lying around waiting for whatever issues that came up to be resolved.

Yeah. Looks absolutely stunning and badass at the same time. I don't usually go for stylized reinterpretations of mecha/robots, but this one feels like this is how GL would look like if the show got a reboot and the animators gave this guy an updated look or design. I still have my old Konami Great Impact GL as the OG anime accurate version in my collection .
-
Well, it's only around a $20 difference 😅... what I'm more glad about is that I got this updated version, brand new, with what I feel are significant improvements to the figure.
-
In hindsight, I've never been so glad to have lost out on a bid I made for a used, first version of this a couple of years ago. Plus this one turned out cheaper than my final bid...

What Current Anime Are You Watching Version v4.0
m0n5t3r replied to wolfx's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
I remember that... it's really been that long, 20++ years. I remember watching that back then along with other stuff like Vandread, GTO, Initial D, Shadow Skill etc. 😅 -
Gonna wait 'til all final season eps are out. Been avoiding spoilers like the plague lol. Is it really necessary to rewatch the last season before starting this final season?
-
Nice looking stand, DIY? And are the original armor parts really that glossy?
-
That's on purpose. Tried it the right way but I kinda prefer my 19P to not look out-of-scale and out-of-place whenever I feel like displaying it with other HMRs. Not really a stickler for accuracy anyways.

If only the Kai had as good-looking a head . That green translucent visor really makes it stand out.
