easnoddy Posted November 28, 2021 Share Posted November 28, 2021 So we are finally getting the Tomahawk??? I'm divesting of most of my HMR, but will keep destroids and Zentran mecha. Hopefully we see Phalanx, Q-Rau and N-Ger in the near future. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We will do our best to prepare Destroids, including Destroid Phalanx, so please support us. To be released as a set so far. I'm hoping for TWE Blue Phalanx in the future!

I have at least 1 regular Regult with loose leg joints. For my display I rotated the legs outward and the Regult stood in place and didn't fall over. Looks so mouth watering.

TheLoneWolf Posted November 29, 2021 Share Posted November 29, 2021 Smart move on Bandai's part. Better to only have one SKU that sells like crap instead of two. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jvmacross Posted November 29, 2021 Share Posted November 29, 2021 I wonder if the "set" part was either removed because it was supposed to be a "surprise" when officially announced for PO or if it was not supposed to be sold as a "set" at all.....as far as I can tell that whole set wording is gone and had been taken down during the Tamashii event at some point.... Will be great if it actually is sold as a set.....finally Bandai listening to their customers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You really think they'll sell badly? It just seems that HM-R did decently overall and now we have all these pent up demand. Pl;us, original series stuff is the most popular stuff.

They might sell out fairly quickly but they likely don't make enough of them to be very profitable. If they make more, them they will shelf warm for a bit and they probably don't like that for such a small margin item. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All of the past Destroids have sold poorly, Yamato's 1/60 Destroids included. Even with sales and discounts, they'd still sit on the shelves for a little while before finally selling out. IIRC, the HMR Monster could still be found on sale in 2020, several years after it was released. Don't get me wrong, I love the HMR Destroids and have bought every single release. But most Macross fans seem to (ironically) consider the Destroids as a luxury, not a priority. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DewPoint Posted November 30, 2021 Share Posted November 30, 2021 It seems to me that they do indeed move slower than Hero figures. The prices stay low long enough for some fans to start army building. They seem to show up less often once they have finally sold out.

A couple Phalanxes would be cool, but I don't want 4 and I don't think I'd make back 50% of the set's value trying to sell just Phalanxes.

Big s Posted December 1, 2021 Share Posted December 1, 2021 I have this weird feeling that if it’s not a double pack then one of them will be put off for a while and possibly forgotten altogether. So double pack for me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sh9000 Posted December 1, 2021 Share Posted December 1, 2021 I'll definitely buy the Destroids as a 2 pack. I'd still buy the Regult Scout in a 2 pack as well but hopefully not with the DYRL VF-1S Roy. Make these releases TWE like the Missile Regults.

RDX17 Posted December 1, 2021 Share Posted December 1, 2021 Whatever gets them released at this point it fine by me, although I would prefer a solo Tomahawk release just for that sweet box art. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big s Posted December 3, 2021 Share Posted December 3, 2021 I’ve recently been building one of the power armors for Star ship troopers that wave put out. And I had seen a meme picture on the images of a cross between that and a tomahawk and now I’m looking at that above picture and I can see that there are so many similarities in the designs between the two, like the joints and the head Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

twich Posted December 6, 2021 Share Posted December 6, 2021 (edited) Is it me, or does that thing look to be the size of a Arcadia 1/60 VF-1 toy? Is it possible that given the size, we might get integrated landing gear? It also appears that the air brake might be articulated. I have high hopes for the Hi Metal R VF-0S Focker Use!

twich Posted December 6, 2021 Share Posted December 6, 2021 I did see that. It also looks like the landing gear bay doors open and the air brake opens as well. I am hopeful, but am just happy at the prospect of Bandai making this and other Macross Zero Variable Fighter and even destroids for those destroid lovers Twich Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
badboy00z Posted December 6, 2021 Share Posted December 6, 2021 I'm not a super fan of the VF-0 but this might be my first HMR. Seam lines are awful though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoping the cockpit canopy is integrated as well, like what was done for the HMR VF-4, so we will finally have a perfect transformation HMR Macross..

Podtastic Posted December 6, 2021 Share Posted December 6, 2021 Are we actually getting something other than another bloody valkyrie? I want the tan Phallanx.
