sh9000 Posted September 23, 2018 Posted September 23, 2018 There was a HMR non Macross figure just advertised so I’m sure a HMR Macross figure will be advertised soon. Here’s a HM VF-1S Roy available. http://jungle-scs.co.jp/mobile/sale_en.cgi?action=productdetail&id=2451086 Quote

I recall that @jeniusdid a list of the upcoming releases for the remaining year and with the LIl'Draken and the clip add on for the re-issue 31F for end of January/beginning of February of next year. I would like to see teasers for the upcoming HMR release (as for who knows what's next on the list, we don't know), as it's mostly likely that the year will end up with the DX VF-1J release. Tamashii nations event from the 26th to 28th Oct... Quote

That was when the DX VF-31J Kai and the HMR Nexx VF-2ss was shown. The VF-31J Kai was a hot release and the ones that couldn't get it, had to wait for the lottery option.. I have a feeling that the DX VF-1J will be shown and possibly with a new DX/HMR teased. Quote
seti88 Posted September 24, 2018 Posted September 24, 2018 Hopefully there will be some hmr news as folks are hoping. Am expecting the armoured parts to be shown for the dx. my wild out of nowhere guess would either be a yf-21 or perhaps super/strike parts for the 1/48th vf1.. on the hmr front hoping for the nger or a vf-4g...

Lonely Soldier Boy Posted September 25, 2018 Posted September 25, 2018 A YF-21 to gauge interest on a future DX version is a possibility now that we have a Mac+ DX YF-19. I'd get both, but that's me. Quote

Then later on release a DX YF-21 and then a HMR YF-19. That would at least cover both lines with Macross Plus. Buy more HMR so that Bandai can make more HMR. 17 hours ago, seti88 said: Hopefully there will be some hmr news as folks are hoping.

seti88 Posted September 25, 2018 Posted September 25, 2018 Oops I forgot to add I meant DX yf-21 and not hmr 21. If any plus hmr’s would likely be out in the future since the DX line for plus is lit right now.. Quote

Yup I do have the correct armor pieces. I have to say transforming this for the first time was quite an ordeal. I spent a good half hour just trying to get from GERWALK to fighter mode. The legs just weren't pegging into the arms at all. Or when they did the legs would be crooked. Also do I need to disconnect the cockpit area from the chest plate before I connect the legs to the main body? There doesn't seem to be enough clearance to get the swing bar underneath the head. I think it's because the VF-1A head is longer than the others. Quote
Karaoke Ninja Posted September 25, 2018 Posted September 25, 2018 The paint is so crisp. I didn't notice any real imperfections besides a little sliver of black paint missing near the front of the cockpit but it's an easy fix. Quote

Karaoke Ninja Posted September 27, 2018 Posted September 27, 2018 (edited) I noticed what looks to be a stress mark near the root of one of the stabilizer fins. At least I think it's a stress mark. Has anyone's fin ever broke on them? Edited September 27, 2018 by Karaoke Ninja Quote
sh9000 Posted September 27, 2018 Posted September 27, 2018 @warrhead has a HMR Regult with box for $45 in the for sale section. It is missing the extra set of chin guns and stand mount but still a good price if anyone is looking for one. Quote

Axelay Posted September 27, 2018 Posted September 27, 2018 I finally unboxed my VF-1S Messer, and I am highly annoyed that the flight stand mount doesn't seem to fit correctly. I saw in one of Jenius' reviews that the included stand was intended to be used with FAST packs attached and thus doesn't tab in properly. Is there any way to get a correct non-super parts stand? Anybody maybe Shapeways one, or wants to part with an OEM one? Quote

Anybody maybe Shapeways one, or wants to part with an OEM one? I don't think anyone has put one up on shapeways. The recent HMR VT-1 release has a display adapter that works well with non-super part fighter mode valks. I believe before that, the Mass Production VF-1A was the last HMR to come with the "correct" non-super part fighter adapter. I could be wrong on that, though. As far as getting one stand-alone, yeah, you'd be looking at buying it off of someone willing to part with it. Quote

I’m pretty sure that before the VT-1, the only HMR that came with the true non-super fighter stand adapter was the original VF-1J armored. The brown VF-1A included one for super parts. All the original Hi Metal VFs (except the strike Roy) from several years ago also included the correct fighter adapter. Quote

sh9000 Posted September 27, 2018 Posted September 27, 2018 I put all of my HM and HMR stand adapters and clear parts together in one container. I’ll need to sort through it to separate the different adapters when I get the chance but whichever adapter still works for me. Quote
Karaoke Ninja Posted September 30, 2018 Posted September 30, 2018 Earlier today I was having trouble getting the legs tabbed into the arms when I noticed some of the black paint on the arms were beginning to rub off and now I hate myself. I haven't even owned this for a week and I already ruined the paint job... Quote

Arthurius Posted October 1, 2018 Posted October 1, 2018 And my small macross shelf comprised mostly of Hi Metal R almost comes to an end. One more Valk or destroid to replace my Iron Factory Jetfire (Placeholder), and then it will be complete, but no rush, considered complete for now until something new and exciting comes out. Oh, and waiting for a few more Diaclone mini Mechas to come in, i think they go well with these for my personal taste / shelf preference. Quote
