  1. After watching that video, I'm now certain this is one of those toys I'd transform once, pose and display it, and never touch again.

    Interesting, I thought Toys 'R' Us was pretty much dead and only carried big brand toy lines like LEGO since they have that "shelf space rental" system. The only Toys 'R' Us located near me are in Macy's and take up a small space in the department store.

    So why do you think Hi-Metal R toys are shelf warmers? Is it the price, the size, over produced?

    Hard to say. I can see Zero, Plus, and maybe Frontier doing well here in the U.S. but I don't know if the general audience would of appreciated 7 or Delta since it focuses so much on idols and singing.
  5. Well that sucks to hear. I wonder if the quality is on a case by case basis or just the entire release overall? I kind of wish I had kept my Renewal version. I do like the flat sheen though...
  6. Such a beautiful mess. I really hope it has some improvements other than what we've already seen in previous Revival releases.
  7. I'm curious, did anyone get theirs with evenly flushed wings? The one I got is minor but not perfect. Did the weathered version have the same problem?
  8. I just got my first VF-0D too. Its not as big as yours though. 😀 This thing should come with a warning for sharp objects. I also picked up this guy from Amazon.

    Where are you guys finding these mass produced VF-1A figures from? I'm still trying to get just one!

    I don't know about cost effective, I end up just buying more figures.
  11. The more I keep reading this thread, the more suspicious I get with Kitz Concept.
  12. I don't mind it if it'll drive the price down and help grow interest in the franchise,

    I feel your pain. Sometimes I get gout on my wrist and it hurts like hell. At that point I can’t even pick up or handle anything heavier than a piece of paper.

    Yeah, I been buying a lot of HMR recently and I’m finding them more fun than the DX Chogokin for playability.
  15. Oh okay, I thought that was a slip cover since the picture was vertical.
  16. What does the back of the box look like? Anyone got pics?

    I'm digging the VF-19. Everything about it is pretty impressive. The figure is solid and even the box is is an upgrade to the older paper-thin HMR packaging.
  18. Thanks for filling me in. That's good to know. It's still strange that Bandai hasn't capitalized on it.
  19. It's weird, but how come Bandai has never released a DYRL VF-1S Max toy? I don't think I've seen Yamato or Arcadia release one either and yet it's involved in one of the most iconic scenes from DYRL.
  20. From the third picture, you can barely see a panel where missiles are supposed to pop out from its lets. I wonder if the shoulders will open up to reveal the speakers.
  21. So I took a break from collecting and am clueless to KitzConcept. I see a lot of talk about this Kickstarter project and preorders. Can someone fill me in on what the drama is all about?

    I kind of cheated and got the VF-19, a DYRL VF-1A Super, and a SDFM VF-1A Max. It was my delusional way of "saving" money.
  23. rsvictor1976

    Hi-Metal R

    You're right about that. I ended up getting the VF-19 since it's so cheap right now. Yeah, I plan on using the inevitable Amazon gift cards coming this Christmas for those HMR Zero mechs.

    Honestly, I just started watching Macross 7. While I appreciated Macross II, I usually just collect the mecha from SDFM and DYRL. I just wanted to add something different.

    So what's the general consensus on the Macross II VF-2 SS? I'm trying to decide whether to get the Fire VF-19 with Sound Booster or the VF-2 SS next.
