derex3592 Posted June 6, 2018 Posted June 6, 2018 The new name of this website should be: Macrossworld -- Nice people fixing Bandai's mistakes since 1999. Quote

sh9000 Posted June 7, 2018 Posted June 7, 2018 That HMR Monster would have been nice for $160 shipped. Currently rewatching SDFM and on episode 11. Watching the show over again is making the HMR line even more fun. Quote

frogger88 Posted June 7, 2018 Posted June 7, 2018 (edited) Hi guys! Newbie here. Hope everyone is doing well... Can anyone point me in the right direction to get display stands for HMR VF (the basic type from Tamashi is what I am looking for)? Thank you in advance! Edited June 7, 2018 by frogger88 Quote

If you want to mimic the stands that occasionally come with HMR releases, then you would be looking for the Tamashii Trident stands or the Stage Act 5 stands. The Stage Act 5 stands come in 3 packs. I do not own any Trident stands but I believe they come as singles. The are both available in multiple colors. Quote
sh9000 Posted June 7, 2018 Posted June 7, 2018 The Tomahawk is coming real soon. Trust me. As for other HMR releases, I want Bandai to make a VF-1SR. Quote
ShinerTheBock Posted June 7, 2018 Posted June 7, 2018 (edited) I don't guess they sell super/strike parts for the HMR Valks, huh? Any indications out there that they might? Edit: looks like you guys discussed this a while back...still wondering if anyone knows of something that might be happening in the future... Edited June 7, 2018 by ShinerTheBock Quote

Yes, the trident stands are sold separately, and work really well with HMR. And I'll confirm that the Stage Act 5 stands are what you want. @sh9000, I agree that a VF-1SR would be cool. I have the game it's from and keep meaning to play through it. I hope you're right about that Tomahawk. Quote
jvmacross Posted June 7, 2018 Posted June 7, 2018 Not only do I no longer have a MISB HMR VF-1A......but to add insult to injury.... I also got Bandai'd!!! Desperately seeking the collector with two right calf armor pieces for a trade....PM me please... Quote

I don't suppose anyone has tried contacting Bandai directly about this have they? Seems like the longest of shots, but just curious. Quote
amptor Posted June 7, 2018 Posted June 7, 2018 Guys if my new valk has duplicate leg armors again I'll come back to here and trade Hopefully it doesn't. I keep coming back to see if anyone posts new photos of the upcoming valks Haven't seen any yet, but I saved the one photo that was posted previously. It's really cool that they are putting out all this stuff. I wonder if they are going to do all of the movie valks and all of the tv valks. It looks like they will. Quote

But that's doubtful since the VF-1SR is jointly owned by Nippon Computer Systems (NCS), not to mention it's such an obscure design. Our best chance of seeing one is through an option kit from an unlicensed third party. By the way, who made that model kit? It's definitely not the best looking VF-1SR, but I'm still impressed that someone made one. Quote

Customers outside of Japan do not technically "exist" to Bandai, especially when it comes to customer support....my error was not staying with HLJ for this particular purchase...I'll never cheat again!!!

As far as DYRL toys.....if you hold up Yamato as the supreme example of what a "complete" line of VFs should be....then Bandai's HMR is just 3 short (Max and Kakizaki VF-1A's and Max's VF-1S)....one short (Max VF-1S) if you include the Skull Squadron from the previous HM line.....if you include the Destroids....it has already surpassed Yamato's lineup...bonus points also for releasing the DYRL GBP-1J......I won't even get to the possible DYRL N-Ger's, Q-Rau's and green Regults!

locidm Posted June 7, 2018 Posted June 7, 2018 VT-1 is still available on HLJ, I wonder if it means it's really not popular! This blows the chance of ever seeing the 1/60 reissued..... Quote

SDFM TV is still a longshot for HMR.....I just don't see a Cavaliers or Angel Birds from them....heck...the VF-1D is still unknown really..... Yamato may still end up the King of all PT VF makers in the end....they still came out with M7, M+, VF-X, M0....and those are all just a dream in HMR.... There were just a handful of VF's that never received at least one interpretation from Yamato....and I am not including VF's made by other players...like the VF-25 VA-3 VF-9 VF-5000 VF-3000 VF-14 The Varauta VF's... Did I miss any VF types? So yeah.....Yamato is still king.... Quote
jenius Posted June 7, 2018 Posted June 7, 2018 Well the next VF1 can't be a 1D after the VT1... I'm going to guess it will be a Focker reissue or TV version. Quote
Sanity is Optional Posted June 7, 2018 Posted June 7, 2018 I hope the next release is a Desdroid or Zentradi/Meltran. After that we can do another VF-1. Quote
