jeniusornome Posted May 20, 2019 Posted May 20, 2019 (edited) I dig the livery pattern on the VF-1EX. Would love to see them do it, although it's probably have to be a TWE exclusive. Can't imagine there being enough interest in them for a wider release. I'd like to see them finish out the Destroids and bring the Noojadoo and Quadlanoo suits along, but if they space them out and it means they bring other figs like the VF-2SS and VF-4 that would be cool. VF-2JA, VF-11, VF-17, VF-19, VF-22... a whole variety of HMR VF-25s and 31s... Sound Force exclusive retools... Ugh, the hurt that would put on my wallet. Edited May 20, 2019 by jeniusornome Quote

Sanity is Optional Posted May 20, 2019 Posted May 20, 2019 Just realized, it's been a looooooooong time since any VF-17 came out, HMR would probably be a decent line for them. Quote

vlenhoff Posted May 20, 2019 Posted May 20, 2019 Ha, I knew I've seen that Breetai with the bent pipe somewhere. I would also like some HMR Angel birds and Fanliner [Hikkie's aerobatic plane], with a proper stand included [dreams, dreams] Or a HMR stealth livery... Or just give us HMR TV Max and Kakizake to finish the darn Vermilion. Have you all noticed they rarely give love to the vermilion squad! Please don't say some local Japanese stores release is a normal 1/48 Yammie release. It isn't, because then i would have them. Yes, I know bandai might go through with it with the DX Vermilion. [crosses fingers] [yes i do own the Yammie 1/60 vermilion, but it is still boxed] [yes, i am having a crisis] Quote

Duymon Posted May 20, 2019 Posted May 20, 2019 I would totally buy a VF-1EX set. I love the look Quote
jeniusornome Posted May 21, 2019 Posted May 21, 2019 Was browsing M2 for some reason or other and hey, since we're talking about it, I didn't realize that the 1EX color scheme is a fairly close match to the 1J from Macross the First: http://www.macross2.net/m3/sdfmacross/variant-vf-1j-mtf.htm Neat! Quote
David Hingtgen Posted May 21, 2019 Posted May 21, 2019 I didn't make the connection until you pointed it out---but very much so. Probably because I haven't actually looked at the scheme in years, but have liked it since the moment I first saw it. A (rare) great update/improvement to the original. Quote

sh9000 Posted May 22, 2019 Posted May 22, 2019 I’d probably buy an extra to make a custom HMR Jetfire with armor. Quote

Probably just a slight "mistransformation" on my part. I like it with the head slightly down, looks like a futuristic IRST. Quote

DewPoint Posted May 25, 2019 Posted May 25, 2019 I hope there is a Macross HMR announcement soon. My CDJapan points are going to start expiring next month. Quote

Hmm, i might look into some of these 1/100 real world fighters. i would not mind an F-14, an F-18, or an F-16. I'll be expecting your PM. I've been saving for this Quote
Guyffon Posted May 26, 2019 Posted May 26, 2019 (edited) Am in japan now, and just to let people know that they are selling the act 5 stands for about 1015yen before tax here at the tamashi nations shop in akihabara, Also found a single regult at the amiami store here going for 15k, is that a good price for it? Edited May 26, 2019 by Guyffon Quote
vlenhoff Posted May 26, 2019 Posted May 26, 2019 BBTS has a preorder for 2 tamshii clear stands for 10 bucks. I got a few sets to suit my growing HMR collection. Quote

I wasn’t planning on getting a YF-23 but now I’m going to see if there’s a good one that I like in 1/100 scale. Put a HMR pilot in the F-35A. Edited May 26, 2019 by sh9000 Quote
vlenhoff Posted May 26, 2019 Posted May 26, 2019 Ooooh a Fokker WWI plane, gotcha! Do you ever try dry brushing? A little metallic or gunmetal dry brushing could bring the instrument panel on your F-35A to life. Either way it is really cool, these planes allow you to sit the pilots like that. The scale feels right! Did you say those 1/100 planes are diecast? BTW, sent you the payments for the VF-4 and Milia a few hours ago. Quote

The 1/100 planes are diecast. Your Valkyries will take off this week. Thanks. Quote
vlenhoff Posted May 26, 2019 Posted May 26, 2019 ^ ^ ^ Now, that's what i call a group shot! ^^^ So much Variety! I like them all, but that F-15 is just sexy to me. Great collection SH9000! Also, thanks so much for a fantastic deal! Quote
