sh9000 Posted February 28, 2017 Posted February 28, 2017 I'll try to do updated fighter mode pics as well now that I have 14 CF's. Quote
vlenhoff Posted February 28, 2017 Posted February 28, 2017 (edited) 14! oh man, whenever you are free. Yeah i was thinking all in fighter mode, black background, so it looks like outer space. I will photoshop it to look like outer space! I just realized that i am playing with your toys xD edit in: Hmm, maybe RoY and TV Hikaru. That's a lot of CFs, badass! Nope, just Roy.

RDX17 Posted February 28, 2017 Posted February 28, 2017 Looks like the next HMR release has been announced, and it's not Macross: Xabungle A bit bummed... Quote

As a matter of fact, there's already a dedicated thread for Hi-Metal R Xabungle. Anything NON-Macross stuff should be posted in the Anime or Science Fiction section. Quote

Still bummed though, as the wait for the next Macross HMR release continues. Edited February 28, 2017 by RDX17 Quote

I'm really not into the Hi-Metal R line but I really do appreciate Bandai for making effort on looking back on all those cool mechas from the 80's. It's the reason why I'm into those Robot Damashii Dunbines and L-Gaims. And for sure if they decided on making their own Votoms series either from RD or HMR, I will probably get some. If budget only permits, I will probably buy the Dougrams since they already announced Soltic and this upcoming Xabungle figure because for sure in a couple of months they will announce Walker Gallia too.

MikeRoz Posted March 1, 2017 Posted March 1, 2017 Sorry if this isn't news - just got an e-mail from N-Y saying that Milia was bumped up to March 25th. Quote
barurutor Posted March 1, 2017 Posted March 1, 2017 That's good news. At least it's paid off thanks to being a TWE. Quote
spacemanoeuvres Posted March 1, 2017 Posted March 1, 2017 What are the chances of securing a milia on/after release? I missed the p.o. Quote

I'd say your chances are pretty good, as long as you do so within a few days-weeks of release. It's very possible that N-Y will have some stock available, at MSRP if you're lucky, or more likely with a mark-up; then, there is eBay, etc... Quote

Make sure you enter your email add in NY's notification. Most of the time, based on my exoerience, they will send out email saying the item is available again days before and after it gets released. So there's a 70% chance that you can get it after release. Don't lose hope. Quote

Tober Posted March 1, 2017 Posted March 1, 2017 Are there any announced HMR Macross releases past the Spartan in May? Quote

Maybe Bandai's nice enough to give people enough time to inflate their wallets again before bombard us again with future announcements. Quote
Slave IV Posted March 1, 2017 Posted March 1, 2017 Even if NY restocks, they always raise the price from their super low preorder prices. Quote

Although I don't mind taking a few wallet hits for new Hi-Metal molds. Quote
neoexcaliber Posted March 2, 2017 Posted March 2, 2017 NY got the date wrong. Actual release date is the 24th. Quote

I don't see a place to sign up for notification on the milia product page either. Was able to setup a notification for big in Japan though. Quote

There is not a defined light source, so it is hard to make it look like they are in space. Also the resolution was too low. This is all i could do with it... for now. I did have some fun with it though If you noticed, i had to redo every cockpit. or Edited March 3, 2017 by vlenhoff Quote

These stands and figures can be finicky, especially when working in a cramped space but they are still a lot of fun! Poor lighting but it was the best I could do late at night. Also, while messing around with the figures, I noticed 1S Roy didn't come with covers for the upper shoulder area...is this correct or did I just miss them? Edited March 3, 2017 by Slave IV Quote

Zx31 Posted March 3, 2017 Posted March 3, 2017 I think the filler started with the VF-1A, but I could be wrong. Quote
sh9000 Posted March 3, 2017 Posted March 3, 2017 Yeah the shoulder cover started with the CF CF-1A. I still like how your background pics came out vlenhoff. Quote

vlenhoff Posted March 3, 2017 Posted March 3, 2017 (edited) ^ ^ ^ I was thinking about that too JVMacross, except i am missing Saturn's rings ^ ^ ^ That's a nice cell from that episode! No3Ljm, great idea, and/or collection, BUT, same problem with this picture. Too far and not contrasting enough. I prefer a picture shot in black, blue or green background with good focus, lighting and resolution. Also a solid source or light. One light is enough, in a very dark environment.
