  1. https://www.instagram.com/reel/DUn-mTjkoSK/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link&igsh=MzRlODBiNWFlZA== How awesome would it be if they did surprise us with a SS86 Unicron?
  2. The first picture has all three in the same frame.
  3. I keep seeing these 30 minutes mission things at the store I go to. I always thought it was a game or something. Are they supposed to be super easy models that take 30 minutes to build?
  4. I just noticed the different color straps on the gunpods. i thought it was the lighting but its clearly a different color from the on in Gerwalk mode.
  5. I got my Battle Pod through AliExpress from a third party. Other than the wrong version being sent to me at first, the shipping was super quick and inexpensive with tariffs already prepaid. I keep hearing about delays, is ordering from KitzConcept directly a bad idea?
  6. Kawamori’s design works has it though.
  7. Well that sucks, good to know though. I was planning on getting some pilots for the Battle Pod but it seems pointless now if it'll just get ruined.
  8. "Featuring highly realistic vehicle modes and intricately detailed robot modes, this line pursues a weapons‑grade mechanical aesthetic." I don 't know how realistic a truck carrying a big ass gatling gun on its roof is, but that helicopter looks pretty damn cool. It looks like it might be flimsy though.
  9. Doesn’t the figure or the Battle Pod interior just get scratched up?
  10. Mandarake does have an auction system as well as a standard store. When you visit their website, always click on the English link. Going in through the normal link and relying on your browser to translate it for you doesn't work too well. The only way to access the auctions is through a link on the landing page so if you want to buy from the regular store, just do a search for Macross and you're good to go.
  11. I thought preorders on AmiAmi was still available?
  12. I preordered one too... FOMO.

    Hi-Metal R

    I heard the same thing. I'm wondering if they actually upgraded the plastic quality.

    Hi-Metal R

    So is there a comparison shot of this new Roy 0S vs. the original one? Does it look like any other changes were made or is it the same?
  15. I’m a little surprised. I ordered the regular Battle Pod and I got the Heavy Artillery version instead. I can't say I'm disappointed as I still like the toy. I was planning on getting the artillery variants after i checked out the normal Battle Pod first to see if I liked it. I was also worried that the Heavy Artillery variant would be hard to stand up with the weight of the missiles but I'm happy I was proven wrong. Question, does the Heavy Artillery version come with it’s own instructions or the one for the original Battle Pod?
  16. I’m late to the party, but I finally got one.
  17. Those flaps that stick out behind the smokestacks are so distracting. Why couldn't they just have them fold in behind the arms?
  18. Maybe they'll reissue 1A and 1S Hikaru and Roy DYRL Hi-Metal R. Throw in the chest fillers, a new stand, and call it a day.
  19. I’m glad to see our fandom community growing. I always see questions or comments about first time viewing the series or advice on which toys to get.
  20. It’s interesting to see the contrast in reactions on this forum compared to the subreddit. I know most of us are old-timers that already have the original release are complaining of another reissue, while the Reddit community are generally happy to get a chance to buy one at a reasonable price.
  21. Good catch on the DYRL pilot.
  22. No missiles or exclusive stand. Just the TV hands it looks like.
  23. DX VF-1S Roy Revival incoming to general retail. Comes with TV hands now apparently. Preorder available Feb 2nd. "The "DX Chogokin VF-1S Valkyrie Roy Focker Special Revival Ver." has been confirmed for release as a product! https://tamashiiweb.com/item/15721/ Added various round-fingered wrist parts to recreate the TV version! Reservations start at general retail stores on February 2, 2026, with an August release planned!" Product page: https://tamashiiweb.com/item/15721/?wovn=en
  24. I thought they stopped manufacturing UHD drives? Isn't the aftermarket the only way to find one now?
  25. I saw that on @jenius video, but I was hoping for stand that would support it while it was still standing up. I’m curious, the Battle Pod has been out for a year now, does it still feel stable to stand on its own, or if it’s starting to become wobbly due to all that weight?
