I will be sitting out of other HMR valks that's why I am not complaining of the lack of releases. Unless if they are from Frontier (Alto's) or Basara's or *shock* they make the Queadlunn Rau. In that case RIP wallet and savings and future trips. yeah, I hope they release by year's end. @Lolicon I never had problems with them but i see your point. Quote

No other retailer does this. But it's okay if NY does, because everything NY does is right and justified in your book. FWIW, the end of next month thing is a placeholder until they have the actual release date. Standard practice at NY, most other retailers don't list a day of the month until Bandai gives one (typically around the start of the month). Quote
Valkyrie Driver Posted January 16, 2020 Posted January 16, 2020 So, I just recently dipped my toe into the Hi Metal R pool with the VF-4. I love it. Now I want more. But first has to be the DX YF-19. Quote
sh9000 Posted January 17, 2020 Posted January 17, 2020 When is the deadline to pay for the VF-4G at NY? I already paid for my 2 there since I preordered after they took off the pay later option but I have no issues. Quote

Alphahorizon Posted January 17, 2020 Posted January 17, 2020 (edited) Speaking of the VF-4G https://www.nin-nin-game.com/en/macross/34113-macross-flash-back-2012-vf-4g-lightning-iii-hi-metal-r-.html For anyone who hasnt ordered,Nin-Nin has them for 99.00 right now on pre order.

DewPoint Posted January 17, 2020 Posted January 17, 2020 As far a NY goes, I only use them if I have to or if their price is lower than everyone else. The more people that boycott them the less competition I will have getting my fix of Collectables. I understand wanting things as soon as possible, but I can wait. So long as I get my orders. You just gotta beat down the envy/jealousy that wells up when everyone here starts to receive their orders. They are French owned (I believe), so expect French-like service? Whatever that is... Quote
Big s Posted January 17, 2020 Posted January 17, 2020 Ny has saved me a lot of pain over recent years. They do the web exclusives and when my favorite site decided to be the most difficult to figure out, they’ve been there. I have other preferences, but ny is more than just a backup plan for me. Quote

F360 Posted January 17, 2020 Posted January 17, 2020 I tried really hard to like the vf-4s scheme but looks like this is the first macross hi metal r that I’m not going to get . preorder is still available on amazon.co.jp Quote

Since I already have the first release I'm passing on this as well. Quote
Chronocidal Posted January 17, 2020 Posted January 17, 2020 I mostly picked this one up to customize, and for the alternate head. The HMR VF-4's parts are pretty easy to swap in and out, so I might mix and match components with the FB2012 version. Quote

It was gone last night around 10:00 pm to 10:30 pm PST. The Monster is up for grabs if anyone wants it for their collection. I'm sure that I'll end up paying the Customs Fee and it will cost my close to $250ish ( or more ?) CND for it in total. Quote
Guyffon Posted January 20, 2020 Posted January 20, 2020 I saw the monster at their nakano shop before and almost bought it, too bad I did not see the regult missile set there else that would have been a no brainer for me. Quote

Frankly, it's worth $250. It's a ........well.........monster! Quote
Big s Posted January 21, 2020 Posted January 21, 2020 The monster is totally worth that monster price Quote
vladykins Posted January 21, 2020 Posted January 21, 2020 I got my Monster for like $210 but I'd still pay that price. My shelf is getting a bit busy now- it's hard to take a photo that highlights anything. This next is especially hard to photograph with Lego Voltron dominating behind them. Also just got a Meptoys Breetai, so I'm likely gonna have him clubbing Hikaru's 1J in my next set of poses. Quote
vladykins Posted January 21, 2020 Posted January 21, 2020 And now my HMR purchases are done for a bit. Quote
Mommar Posted January 22, 2020 Posted January 22, 2020 It could be worse, you could have been charged a month early for the 0D and then found out it was delayed three months. Quote
borgified Posted January 22, 2020 Posted January 22, 2020 Regult on Manda for 13.5k yen or 14k yen both at Nayuta (different conditions for each) https://order.mandarake.co.jp/order/detailPage/item?itemCode=1127924706&ref=doc&keyword=マクロス&lang=en * * Just one listing here the other is listed as well * Quote

Bing0 Posted January 24, 2020 Posted January 24, 2020 Hey fellas, I also asked this in the newbie thread but I thought I can get quicker reply here, I’m trying to get my new hi-metal elintseeker to fighter mode but I can’t get the cockpit to seat flush even with the “hinge” connected. Help please.. been trying for the last 2 hours but can’t seem to figure it out. Thanks it’s my first time trying to transform one of these Quote
Sanity is Optional Posted January 24, 2020 Posted January 24, 2020 Can you take a picture of the underside? You're probably collapsing it in the wrong order, but it's hard to tell without being able to see the mechanism. Quote
Bing0 Posted January 24, 2020 Posted January 24, 2020 (edited) Hopefully this helps it feels tighter when I connect the intakes to it but still has a little gap, not sure if that’s normal. Edited January 24, 2020 by Bing0 Quote
Sanity is Optional Posted January 24, 2020 Posted January 24, 2020 Push up on the two double-hinges from below, near to the front. The ones shown in this image: Quote
sh9000 Posted January 24, 2020 Posted January 24, 2020 Looks like the fuselage is removable. Not all releases came this way out of the package but I have several VF-1s that also have a removable fuselage. Quote
Bing0 Posted January 24, 2020 Posted January 24, 2020 Tried pushing on the hinges but it’s not moving, unless I’m pushing on the wrong thing Quote
Sanity is Optional Posted January 24, 2020 Posted January 24, 2020 There's a second double hinge above the ones that are immediately visible, check that those aren't misaligned? Quote
