jvmacross Posted April 29, 2015 Posted April 29, 2015 (edited) Almost everything makes Toynami pointless heheh...I'll give them some credit on releasing the 1/100 Regult vinyls...but I guess now they are pointless too....poor Toynami Granted, it WILL be more expensive. But so much better. yep....you get what you pay for I suppose... At 1/100...is this also possible??? Edited April 29, 2015 by jvmacross Quote
CF18 Posted April 29, 2015 Posted April 29, 2015 There hasn't been a Glaug toy since.....well....this... I think the Bandai gashapons were newer than that. Quote
jvmacross Posted April 29, 2015 Posted April 29, 2015 I think the Bandai gashapons were newer than that. Yep...forgot about those.....I guess depending on what you want to classify as a "toy"...you can also add these little fellows... Quote
jenius Posted April 29, 2015 Posted April 29, 2015 Don't forget the Matchbox toy, it's even a decent scale Quote
jvmacross Posted April 29, 2015 Posted April 29, 2015 Don't forget the Matchbox toy, it's even a decent scale I had...until now.... Quote
Guest davidwhangchoi Posted April 29, 2015 Posted April 29, 2015 if kawamori improves the sculpt to include a slidable heat shield i'll definitely grab a few valks. i really like bandai's colors for max and miria. but so far, the enemy stuff is looking good. Quote
Frogze Posted April 29, 2015 Posted April 29, 2015 Ooops... Looks like that feature was already there... I was just to afraid to transform my 1/100 because I noticed the head laser is starting to break off... sucks! I wanted to believe it so bad... made me see thing that weren't actually there! Looks like they added a removable nosecone tip though, as Jenius said, to fit the armor parts à la 1/48. I might be the only one here who hopes the grey part on that gerwalk joint is going to be metal since that piece has hair-thin cracks on each of my Hi-Ms. Looking forward to the enemy mechas too, Glaug ftw!!!

He's not an industrial engineer. Any body styling change he may suggest will have no bearing on integrated heat shields. That's up to the Mechanical and Materials guys. Quote
EXO Posted April 29, 2015 Posted April 29, 2015 Everyone that wants a smaller 1/60 should just stick to the 1/60s... shrinking them down to 1/100 would just make them brittle. You'd think those people would know that by now. Plus Enemy mechs FTW! I wonder if we'd get launch arms for display stands... lol. Quote
calubin_175 Posted April 29, 2015 Posted April 29, 2015 Damn, people are really hyped up for this line. Despite being 1/100, there WILL be pre-order madness. But then it also depends if people really want to buy the destroids as they aren't too iconic. The Glaug and the VFs will definitely get pre-order madness though. Quote
Mechapilot77 Posted April 29, 2015 Posted April 29, 2015 please lets hope there is no preorder madeness! i mean bandai makes TONS of popular stuff without preorder madness. let's hope this is one of them. i relaly feel like i "need" everything in this line. Quote
Chronocidal Posted April 30, 2015 Posted April 30, 2015 (edited) Problem with Macross in general is that the people who can buy these KNOW that the rest of the world is starved for decent Macross merchandise. The scalper market will latch onto that as a way to make a profit, and regardless of how high demand may or may not be for the actual product, they'll drive the demand through the roof trying to make a fast buck on Ebay.

I hope to heck there is a preorder madness. I hope the scalpers get all of it. I hope to see the very high scalper-pricing on these at various auction-sites and stuff. I hope to heck none of the non-scalpers buys any of it from them. I hope they get stuck with boxes and boxes of these stuff that they can't move coz nobody wants to buy it. I hope to see boxes and boxes of these linger on auction sites for years with no foolish takers. I hope these rot, loosen and yellow quickly inside the box without being purchased from any and every scalper(s)/scalper-stores. I hope Bandai gets unsold inventory-glut of these for many years to come, too... Edited April 30, 2015 by treatment Quote
jenius Posted April 30, 2015 Posted April 30, 2015 Destroids, cannon fodder valks and battle pods is all that I'm looking forward in this lineup. Hopefully the can give us a Daedulus attack storage bin. OMG yes on the storage! It should be an exclusive where you have to send in 20 destroid UPCs Quote
calubin_175 Posted April 30, 2015 Posted April 30, 2015 Not trying to jack up demand, but is this guy worth getting for the 1/100s? http://hlj.com/product/BAN977905/Sci Quote
DarrinG Posted April 30, 2015 Posted April 30, 2015 TWO GREAT IDEAS The old factory kit will go awesome with these! AND A Daedulus Storage Case for your whole set of Hi-Metals . . . n i c e . . . Quote

barurutor Posted April 30, 2015 Posted April 30, 2015 pre-order page up at hobby search http://www.1999.co.jp/eng/10324464 Quote
jvmacross Posted April 30, 2015 Posted April 30, 2015 (edited) Closed!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ***edit.....placeholder? " *Hi-Metal R VF-1J Armored Valkyrie preorders will start at PM4:00 of 1st May, Japan time[GMT+9] (Completed) Edited April 30, 2015 by jvmacross Quote
Raya1823 Posted April 30, 2015 Posted April 30, 2015 pre-order page up at hobby search http://www.1999.co.jp/eng/10324464 Wait, is it already closed?? Or has it not opened yet?? Agghhh I hate the PO madness, lol!!! Quote
jvmacross Posted April 30, 2015 Posted April 30, 2015 It was probably just a placeholder...but yeah...I have a bad feeling about this one..... Quote
chyll2 Posted April 30, 2015 Posted April 30, 2015 what? so this means pre-order madness again? i think it is just a placeholder though, when a macross toy sold out, it usually is included in top 10 list Quote
Mommar Posted April 30, 2015 Posted April 30, 2015 I simply don't believe there will be a rush for these things. Quote
Zaid Posted April 30, 2015 Posted April 30, 2015 Nah, these things will likely stick around a bit. I wouldn't sweat it for anyone expecting preorder madness. Quote
xrentonx Posted April 30, 2015 Posted April 30, 2015 Like I've said before, if it's preorder madness then I'll probably ignore the entire line. I'll put up with it at my preferred scale but 1/100 is not worth it to me personally. I hope it's easy enough to get within reason since there are fans who are super excited and I'm always down for mo' Macross Quote
jvmacross Posted May 1, 2015 Posted May 1, 2015 More news at the end of May perhaps.... http://tamashii.jp/special/tamacolle_2015/exhibition.html Quote
treatment Posted May 1, 2015 Posted May 1, 2015 :sigh: I gave in and got one at ami. Still think it's stupidly small and expensive for a 145mm figure. Maybe I can use my points to drag down the pricing... Quote
Garfinkel Posted May 1, 2015 Posted May 1, 2015 Yeah, i managed to get one in my cart, then it lagged and turned into trying to buy 4 it then crashed and died, was sold out by the time i got it back on track. Quote
Old Man Posted May 1, 2015 Posted May 1, 2015 I think I managed to snag one at amiami...we'll see if I get a confirmation email... Quote
