Bandai included the wrong stand adaptor for the VT-1 Fastpacks. I need to find my Hikaru HM and use that stand. I do like Minmei too, but she is only in my mind, when the fast packs are on... Quote

I find that having the Fastpacks on also helps hide the orange issue. Congrats on your new Max as well! Quote
sh9000 Posted May 16, 2019 Posted May 16, 2019 Looks great @vlenhoff. I’m going try to take some Fighter mode pics this weekend. Quote

With the wrong colors, but yeah, a thing of beauty! Looking great. Will wait for a more complete group shot with Milia in there too. Quote
vlenhoff Posted May 16, 2019 Posted May 16, 2019 not gonna lie... I got a thing for fighter mode... Nice trash compactor Luke BTW. That's very cool! Quote

Slave IV Posted May 16, 2019 Posted May 16, 2019 Nice @vlenhoff! Now you just need one of these Quote
vlenhoff Posted May 16, 2019 Posted May 16, 2019 (edited) ^ ^ ^ absolutely! ^ ^ ^ I hoping to find a nice deal on Milia. When i get my VF-4 from @sh9000, i'll take more pictures! BTW, I noticed the 1J head is really exposed in your picture. Was that on purpose? @seti88 Thanks so much seti! Edited May 16, 2019 by vlenhoff Quote
jeniusornome Posted May 16, 2019 Posted May 16, 2019 @vlenhoffMandarake has Millia's VF-1J for Y12,000 right now. Pretty good price IMO. Quote

I don't remember if I did that on purpose as that photo was taken the day I got the figure which was right when it came out. Probably just a slight "mistransformation" on my part. Quote

vlenhoff Posted May 16, 2019 Posted May 16, 2019 (edited) @sh9000^ ^ ^ You know i will buy your Milia! ^^ ^ [and your VF-4!] i Do have a few black series myself, and i think they have improved their printing methods, face etc. @Slave IV yeah, the HMR are really cool. I was able to tuck in Max head in fighter mode you can tuck in the lens in the little gap, if the neck part is rotated properly. Like you said, that was a first time transformation. I am surprised how good these things feel with the fast packs on. It is a dense little thing. I missed all the cool 1S-1J-1A FP releases, but i think i have enough to represent the scales among the fighters. I see now why people are crazy about this awesome line.

Well once again, welcome to the craze. There isn't another line better than HMR when it comes to display and playability factor. Quote
vlenhoff Posted May 16, 2019 Posted May 16, 2019 (edited) Yeah, they are amazing little works of art. I am in the craze indeed @Slave IV Edited May 17, 2019 by vlenhoff Quote

It's a little easier on the wallet at least. That and we actually get enemy units. I will probably spring for the Bandai DX 1/48 VF-1S Focker, though. Gotta have at least one of those. Quote
SpaceCowboy Posted May 17, 2019 Posted May 17, 2019 "I will probably spring for the Bandai DX 1/48 VF-1S Focker, though. Gotta have at least one of those." You and everyone else in the 30 seconds that it is available for pre order. Quote

Yeah the DX VF-1A PO was so demoralizing lol Have to remind myself these are toys and I won’t die if I don’t get one (pssst... I WILL die if I don’t get one ) Quote

Yep, I resisted the HMR line for a while but after getting one (Regult), I realized it was too good to pass up so now I have them all except the first Hikaru 1S release and I will continue to buy any and all that come out. As for the DX 1/48, yeah...that will be a must have (as are the others to me, lol). I still love 1/48 and 1/60 as they are the pinnacles of toy collecting to me but HMR is just plain fun.

Like I said, I was resisting the line when it first came out. Figured I had no need for smaller, partsforming figures with barely any metal from a line called “Hi-Metal”. By the time I was convinced, the Hikaru 1S was already way out of my price range. No matter how good and how much I like the line, $200+ for it cannot be justified. I almost missed the GBP too but luckily found that for a reasonable price. Quote
atreyu2112 Posted May 19, 2019 Posted May 19, 2019 So, the VF-1D... is that it for Macross Hi-Metal R? No Phalanx or Tomahawk? No N-Ger, Q-rau or Regult Scout? TV Max/Kaki 1As & Roy 1S? The releases have been fewer and fewer. And now we're down to the last few. Honestly, I'm quite shocked/disappointed that the destroids & valks arent already released! I mean, going back to the launch of the "R" line, wasn't it their point they were making ALL of what they initially showed on that poster display? I don't think I would be as upset if they never showed that stuff off & then displayed painted prototypes ... multiple times. Does anyone know, honestly, if we're ever going to see the line completed as per their initial advertisement? Quote
jvmacross Posted May 19, 2019 Posted May 19, 2019 Bandai released an HMR Monster....a VF-2SS...twice....a VF-4 Lightning, FB2012 no less!.....and just recently a VF-1D........but all of them were teased in some form or other by Bandai at some point... I think waiting a bit longer for the Tomahawk and Phalanx in exchange for a VF-4 and VF-1D was a fair trade.... The Tomahawk, Phalanx, N-Ger and more will come......eventually....but apparently not on any of our schedules I guess if HMR was the only line of Macross you collected, it could be frustrating waiting for any particular mech... Solution........just collect other Macross stuff to pass the time inbetween Macross HMR releases! Quote
Convectuoso Posted May 19, 2019 Posted May 19, 2019 I think we may see just one more Macross HMR this year. Not more than that. But I hope we get at least one. Quote
vlenhoff Posted May 19, 2019 Posted May 19, 2019 (edited) Bandai could have included all the Zentraedi faction within this scale. A Breetai [spelling?] with a bent pipe. Zentraedi soldiers, so you could army build. They do S.H.Figuarts, so you know they can make a badass figure. Meh, dreaming is free i guess. Yeah, i really want a Tomahawk. I have been trying to avoid the Spartan*, but i might cave one of these days. Edited May 20, 2019 by vlenhoff typos Quote

Since the last HMR 1D was just released last month, there isnt any indication of HMR macross releases stopping. But I suppose you would be impatient, if you only collected HMR macross. With other 1/60 and 1/48 macross releases, i don't mind Bandai taking their time. My wallet can only absorb so much at once. Quote
