Steve68 Posted October 11, 2006 Posted October 11, 2006 Has Bandai ever re-released the old Imai 1/72 Regult? If so when was the last release? I've got my fingers crossed that it will happen again next year for the 25th anniversary. Steve Quote
HWR MKII Posted October 11, 2006 Posted October 11, 2006 Bandai seems too buried in Gundam to even care about macross anymore. When was their last release of any macross kit of worth? Quote
cobywan Posted October 11, 2006 Posted October 11, 2006 There are resin recasts of this kit on Hobbyfan.com and E2046.com. Quote
Steve68 Posted October 11, 2006 Author Posted October 11, 2006 Not to hijack my own thread, but has everyone seen this? http://www.g-system-shop.com/cp-zlk/160_1-...20Cruiser/1.htm They also sell the 1/48 Vf-1S Club-M recast, but it's way expensive at $370. I know it has the metal gear, but I think you can get one with plastic gear from Hobbyfan for $100 off that easy. I saw the group buy from last year. That would be fun. Steve Quote
mechaninac Posted October 12, 2006 Posted October 12, 2006 (edited) Your best bet for getting your hands on a 1/72 Regult, or a Glaug for that matter, is eBay. However, they command a sizable sum when they show up... around $90.00 before shipping. Or, you could get lucky and grab one of the iron series models (not the Glaug); they are the exact same kit, decals and all, shot in a dark metallic color, and include a display base. I got one a couple of month ago for $39.00, shipped. As previously mentioned, I would not hold my breath for Bandai to re-issue any of the rare stuff any time soon, if at all. So old plastic kits and resin recasts on eBay, and/or making a request in the wanted thread, are about it. Edited October 12, 2006 by mechaninac Quote
tetsujin Posted October 12, 2006 Posted October 12, 2006 Bandai seems too buried in Gundam to even care about macross anymore. When was their last release of any macross kit of worth? 2004. The re-issued a bunch of stuff from Macross, Macross II, and Mac 7, including the 1:100 Destroids and Zentradi machines (apart from the Regult, anyway). Quote
captain america Posted October 12, 2006 Posted October 12, 2006 The Imai Glaug was just terrible. I will likely reissue mine next spring if there are enough takers. Quote
big F Posted October 12, 2006 Posted October 12, 2006 The 1/72 Glaug recasts sometimes show up on eBlag. But youre probably better off waiting for the Captain to reissue as his is better than any previously made plastic or resin. (I want one) Quote

MechTech Posted October 13, 2006 Posted October 13, 2006 Contact "Ranger565" and he might be able to get you the original 1/72 styrene kit at a good price. He said he was going into business selling the classic kits. - MT Quote
Mechleader Posted October 13, 2006 Posted October 13, 2006 Theres one on E2046. Not a bad price. Quote
Steve68 Posted October 13, 2006 Author Posted October 13, 2006 Mechleader, Forgive my noobness, but what is E2046? Thanks, Steve Quote
TSP Posted October 14, 2006 Posted October 14, 2006 Take a lookhere Looks like their workshop is going to recast the 1/72 M-Club Ostrich Valk. They really should stop producing uncomplete kits. I bet the cockpit hatch is still missing like all the M-Club 1/72 Valkyries they sold the past few years. Quote

I bet the cockpit hatch is still missing like all the M-Club 1/72 Valkyries they sold the past few years. They do have a large ammount of kits. Has anyone bought stuff from them. whats the quality like and sales service etc Quote
007-vf1 Posted October 14, 2006 Posted October 14, 2006 They do have a large ammount of kits. Has anyone bought stuff from them. whats the quality like and sales service etc I did once a couple of years back and bought a 1/72 VF-4 or the VF-2ss they did a pretty good job shipping the item quickly just like Hobby search 1999...

Mechleader Posted October 15, 2006 Posted October 15, 2006 Yes I bought from them recently. No problems. They take about a couple of weeks to get to your home but well worth it. Here is a reg version on pre order from hobbyfan which is another good company. http://www.hobbyfan.com/product_info.php?p...+Regult+Soldier Quote
cool8or Posted October 15, 2006 Posted October 15, 2006 The Imai Glaug was just terrible. I will likely reissue mine next spring if there are enough takers. Do you Made a Glaug John? or did you refer to your Regult w/cockpit? Quote
Maxtype Posted October 15, 2006 Posted October 15, 2006 Oops, sorry. I meant Regult. Cap,let me know if you release the Regult. Quote
azrhino Posted October 16, 2006 Posted October 16, 2006 With new parts to make a scout??? Please???? Quote
cool8or Posted October 17, 2006 Posted October 17, 2006 With new parts to make a scout??? Please???? Yeah! We need a "complete" collection of Macross mechas in 1/72!!! Quote
captain america Posted October 17, 2006 Posted October 17, 2006 I like the idea of a Scout Regult. It goes on my "to do" list. Quote
