What are your expectations for this year?

Well I can tell you right now that I worked on some new items last year which i will post sometime in the next couple of months. I'm not sure how they fit - or whether they fit at all - into the categories above, but I know some people will be happy...

As for what we got from Macross last year, we can't complain. In fact, it was an embarrasment of riches!

Some of the highlights for me include the Captain's Cat's Eye, and Wave's incredibly well engineered destroids. They were perfect, apart from some proportions.

The big surprise, however, was Hasegawa's VF-11. Beautiful kit, and an unexpected release. I had just finished most of the clean up on two resin kits of the same. Once I received the Hasegawa version, I had a look at it, compared the resin ones, and promptly boxed them up. They were a pain in the arse to build, but I'm keen to put together the new kit... later this year!

No idea what 2012 holds in store. Wouldn't a VF-4 from Hasegawa be appropriate though, for this year?

That's what I'm waiting for!! to re-iterate FAM56; 1/72 scale forever!

That would be fantastic.....and I'm just about finished my 1/72 kit too :p

1/48 Hasegawa battroid would be really a good run!!

This is something i am really hoping for as well, i do have a fear that the 1/48 line did not do well in Japan, I don't really have anything to base that on, just my fear. I think a 1/48 battroid would be the next step in the line, or at least after superpacks for the fighters...would love to see that as well!

Perhaps the larger scale does not fit well into the smaller Japanese living spaces. It would be very nice to hear from someone at Hasegawa on whether to expect any more 1/48 Macross kits....

I would love to know more from Hasegawa 1/48 line too, but we never get fresh news until a few weeks before from the release date :( .
