Mr Bomber Posted October 15, 2016 Posted October 15, 2016 Max - November 2016 Millia - March 2017 Can you guys imagine that with millia release it mark the end of macross hi metal r run? Quote
no3Ljm Posted October 15, 2016 Posted October 15, 2016 Can you guys imagine that with millia release it mark the end of macross hi metal r run? I don't think that's going to happen since it always goes out of stock on most Japanese Online Stores. The only concern here is that are they going to make all those 'Monsters' since most of them are ending up 'on-sale' compared to the main Valkyries. Quote
hachi Posted October 15, 2016 Posted October 15, 2016 With the deluge this year of Macross products I imagine people will be picky about what they buy. I am picky as I have limited funds. I did try to buy the monster from CDJapan when it was on preorder but there was a problem with my card (or the way I ordered) that I didn't figure out for a while. So I sat out on the monster. Perhaps in the future I can buy one (hopefully it's still in stock and my currency's value goes higher). Quote

derex3592 Posted October 15, 2016 Posted October 15, 2016 They need to drop the 2 seaters!!! They would sell like hotcakes! VF-1D, normal and Virgin Road, Elint and Ostrich! MIc drop on Arcadia re-releases! BOOM! Profits! Quote
hachi Posted October 15, 2016 Posted October 15, 2016 And black Friday deal may be in your future. I don't know. The Philippine peso is being battered currently in the currency wars, it's really dampening my appetite for international purchases. And I already spent my budget on the monster for other stuff. If only that CDJapan order pushed through I might have had a monster by now. Quote
F360 Posted October 15, 2016 Posted October 15, 2016 Yeah, it's on the list but there is nothing to click except a box to either save or cancel the account. I actually just talked to PayPal Customer service and they said the feature no longer exists. They can manually change the currency to Yen but then everything I use the card for will be in Yen untill I call them to change it back. hmm, maybe it has something to do with discover cards too. My friend setup his just a month ago with Visa. By the way, here is a guide with steps and pics direct from paypal-community https://www.paypal-community.com/t5/About-Payments/where-is-the-currency-conversion-option/td-p/920926/page/2 :PayPal offers two ways to convert currency when you purchase from a seller who uses a different currency than yours. The PayPal currency conversion process The MasterCard and Visa currency conversion process" yeah , it seems more like it does not suppport discover card Quote

no3Ljm Posted October 15, 2016 Posted October 15, 2016 I'm just waiting for the announcement for both VF-4 Lightning and VF-2SS. Quote

jvmacross Posted October 15, 2016 Posted October 15, 2016 I'm just waiting for the announcement for both VF-4 Lightning and VF-2SS. I'd put up waiting a little longer for the rest of the HMR destroids for a HMR FB2012 VF-4 and a properly designed VF-2SS with SAP.... Quote

I'd put up waiting a little longer for the HMR FB2012 VF-4 and a properly designed VF-2SS with SAP.... so I can replenish my budget that went to Setsuna's Metal Build Gundams. Quote

If they release the HMR FB12 VF-4 lightning..you can bet the pre-order would be faster than lightning for the one true unicorn! Tho i wouldnt mind a HMR virgin road too! Quote
fenrir72 Posted October 15, 2016 Posted October 15, 2016 (edited) Remember the 1st Valkyrie Hikaru used in Booby Trap? I'd buy one HMR version of it in an instant! Also, just paid for VF 1J c/o hlj. Edited October 15, 2016 by fenrir72 Quote
technoblue Posted October 15, 2016 Posted October 15, 2016 My Hikaru TV 1J is waiting on two other orders at amiami, which is a-okay as everything should ship closer to the end of the month. Can you guys imagine that with millia release it mark the end of macross hi metal r run? I could see Bandai finishing this first wave of Macross HM-R figures, rolling out the Spartan to complete that diorama they teased, and then pausing to focus on some HM-R Dougram releases before announcing another Macross wave later next year. But stopping Macross completely? That I can't imagine. The more likely event is that we will get Macross HM-R releases mixed in with "other" HM-R releases throughout 2017. What really surprised me is that I am now looking forward to Bandai's HM-R announcements more so than Arcadia's announcements... The times, they are a-changin! Quote
ayaxr Posted October 15, 2016 Posted October 15, 2016 Fingers crossed for an HMR Super/Strike parts kit. Was looking online at the previous HM Strike parts since I'm interested and they are around the $100 mark, can't justify that price, plus I prefer the new color of the HMR parts. Quote
sh9000 Posted October 15, 2016 Posted October 15, 2016 You mean the HM Super Parts set. I saw one for $50 and passed on it. In any case a HMR Super/Strike Parts set would be cool. I wouldn't mind a separate HMR Armored Parts set as well. VF-1A's look pretty nice in that armor. Quote
Duymon Posted October 15, 2016 Posted October 15, 2016 The original hm fast packs were like 1500 yen. I bought 3x sets at retail. I hope then price is the same of they do them again Quote
Bolt Posted October 15, 2016 Posted October 15, 2016 What really surprised me is that I am now looking forward to Bandai's HM-R announcements more so than Arcadia's announcements... Same same! Quote
00Geass Posted October 15, 2016 Posted October 15, 2016 I wouldn't be upset if Bandai paused on SDF for a while and moved on to plus or 7 or FB2012. I'm still waiting for that YF-21 they teased all those years ago. I also wouldn't mind an HMR Layzner, Ideon, or Scopedog Quote

mickyg Posted October 15, 2016 Posted October 15, 2016 Looks like the chest stripes are as we'd all hoped. Very nice! Quote
Roy Focker Posted October 15, 2016 Posted October 15, 2016 Well Hikaru shipped. Sal registered just like VF-1A which had a head start but spent 10 days stuck in Japan. I'll see who makes it here first. Quote
F360 Posted October 16, 2016 Posted October 16, 2016 review of the VF-1J is up. http://blog.livedoor.jp/hacchaka/archives/51991228.html#more Quote
ScrambledValkyrie Posted October 16, 2016 Posted October 16, 2016 I'm glad to see that they did make Hikaru's 1J more true white than gray. However, it does seem to include the "wrong" super-parts fighter mode stand adapter... Quote
treatment Posted October 16, 2016 Posted October 16, 2016 review of the VF-1J is up. http://blog.livedoor.jp/hacchaka/archives/51991228.html#more The translucent blue(or teal?) canopy is very meh in his pictures. Quote
jenius Posted October 16, 2016 Posted October 16, 2016 Interesting... helps conceal the terrible pilot sculpt. Quote

barurutor Posted October 16, 2016 Posted October 16, 2016 ...so they've included TV and DYRL hands with the 1A and continue the practice with the TV 1J. Quote
sh9000 Posted October 16, 2016 Posted October 16, 2016 Just like how they were included with the original HM VF-1J. Quote
fenrir72 Posted October 17, 2016 Posted October 17, 2016 Interesting... helps conceal the terrible pilot sculpt. With its scale, is it possible make it any better? Quote
jenius Posted October 17, 2016 Posted October 17, 2016 With its scale, is it possible make it any better? Yes... they already did with the "DYRL" style pilot. Quote
Mr Bomber Posted October 17, 2016 Posted October 17, 2016 With its scale, is it possible make it any better?Probably, but most likely it would be more expensive. Quote
