Hey guys, hoping someone could help; A buddy of mine has a HMR Max that snapped at the shoulder. He got it through NY and they're being no help. ANyone know of a way to get NYs attention? Or if not, is there a replacement shoulder fix out there?

Cheers up front fellas

N-Y will no do anything for user error, theres no replacement shoulder.  It would be good to posting a pic of the issue so people can suggest possible fixes.

If they release at least one Macross II enemy toy to go with the VF-2SS that would be cool.

I'm still waiting on the Nousjadeul-Ger and some Zentrans.  HMR all the things!

Hopefully after they do some more Macross they dive into Orguss.  It would be hope beyond hope to expect any Southern Cross.

[Boobytrap]

Woo Hoo! Yes yes yes yes yes. Super excited that this didn't end up as vaporware. Not sure why they went with such an angular chest but I can deal with it. I like the fact that the legs appear to be in the proper position for both fighter (maybe a little low) and gerwalk. Glad they added the split feet. While I too want to see the underside what I really want to see is the fighter profile. Getting it really flat and sleek is key to its appearance for me.

An HM-R Orguss? Oh no! Would love to see small version of the Megahouse one worthy of displaying it on my workstation. I didn't like those Palm Action version so I didn't get those.

But to be honest, the Megahouse release is already a good size for it to get a HM-R size treatment.

I hope they release the tomahawk before the VF-2. The VF-2 is cool but I need some HMR tomahawks!!

After I read this, got scared a little bit since all the photos they show in the post below are all angled shots again without showing what's underneath. Would love to see side profile again.

It'll probably still be better looking from all angles than those awful Evolution Toy releases.

My wish for Bandai is to continue to release every possible HMR Valkyrie variant, mecha, and accessory/effect part from SDFM and DYRL while occasionally releasing at least one Valkyrie from every other Macross series and then expanding on them later.

Oh and I'd buy HMR Orguss and a HMR Orguss Valkyrie.

Yes, I'll take HMR Hovertanks too!

[F360]

Instant preorder.

[Tober]

Hopefully it won't be another pre-order nightmare.

[jenius]

So is this a November release? Does that mean PO in like a week?

As for the HMR VF-2SS, its looking pretty good.  I'd like to get one maybe even 2.  I wanna see more pics.

Sad to say, B. I have to agree with you. You're right!

Oh. Knowing you, you don't need to wait for Orguss Valkyrie. Once HMR Orguss gets released, you can custom one.

Well, that depends, right? As long that they're share the same height.

Two? This is VF-2SS. You know you want three, right?

Well... you never know sir, if Bandai will push thru with the other color stripes. Atleast by having three already, you can just simply repaint the chest stripes.

Agreed . 

 

[derex3592]

I'm in for one assuming I can semi easily get one after pre-order madness, not....staying up late for it  

[spacemanoeuvres]

Orguss figures would be sweet. Those megahouse releases look awesome but so damn spendy!

Wait. How much do you spend on your Valk fix?

There's a cheap Olson one in AmiAmi. Also, HLJ put Kei's Orguss on sale last month. Just saying.

 

[F360]

If its standard relesse then expect preorder madness.

if its web exclusive then its take your time but pay more.

Well if I get three I gotta go the Spanner, Kicker route... one in each mode! 

My wallet will slap me, but I'll be equally stoked!

I think I'll definitely at least PO one VF-2 and then see how well they are received.  I have never actually seen Macross II but I do like that design more than other non-SDFM valks.  Plus I imagine the PO pricing will be easier on the wallet.

I have wanted one of those in some form or another for sooooo long I would literally 'squee' if they announced the release of it for HMR. Or announced the VF-2J, or the Zentradi valk, or...

 

Just too much good stuff

[Arthurius]

I have been resurrected from the dead once i saw a bandai VF-2SS...  Then i saw the price and died again... 

Been wanting a nice vf-2ss for long long LOOOOOONG time, and most i had was the bandai model.

What are the repaint options?  Just different stripe colors?

Edit:  I may have to repaint the FPs, i never like the accurate green colors, would have preferred dark blue or gun metal, at least that is what i had done with the model.

I'm hoping for a preorder for the VF-2SS by the end of this month or early July.
