seti88 Posted June 4, 2019 Posted June 4, 2019 (edited) Just keep on wishing on HMR. If calculations are correct any indications on new releases would be September or wait till the tamashii event in end October... Edited June 4, 2019 by seti88 Quote
easnoddy Posted June 4, 2019 Posted June 4, 2019 What have we had, 2 HMR Macross releases this year? The VF-4 and 1D? That and the Korchima Soltic are the only ones I have tabbed for 2019. Quote
HardlyNever Posted June 4, 2019 Posted June 4, 2019 4 total HMR releases in 2019, according to the site. 2 of which were Macross. There is generally around a 6 month gap between announcement and release, so it's not looking great for more HMR in 2019. They could maybe squeeze in one more. Quote
Sanity is Optional Posted June 4, 2019 Posted June 4, 2019 At least the VF-4 was an entirely new transforming VF design in the line, even if they cribbed from Yamato heavily. Quote
ScrambledValkyrie Posted June 4, 2019 Posted June 4, 2019 It would seem that with so much focus on the new DX VF-1 (and related add-ons) that Bandai hasn’t had the resources to devote to HMR lately. Quote

Sounds like it's going to be a long summer of waiting for those of us solely on the Hi-Metal R Macross train. Quote

vlenhoff Posted June 5, 2019 Posted June 5, 2019 (edited) ^ ^ ^ pretty accurate depiction of what happened on pre-order night.^ ^ ^ @jvmacross @sh9000 , the head laser mechanisms, in the DYRL version is awesome, so for now it will remain there. I took this picture in a hurry, so i didn't change hands or anything. I'll take a few more pictures soon! And again, thanks for the link! @Ignacio Ocamica Both the brownie, and the 1D are one of my all time favorites, enjoy yours! @kkx I know nippon Yassan has it for 130usd. I’d check Jungle, and Mandrake for better prices. Edited June 5, 2019 by vlenhoff typos Quote

That and the Korchima Soltic are the only ones I have tabbed for 2019. Yes looks like its only 2 Macross HMR's this year, unless bandai squeezes in a HMR TWE in between the 1/48 Max and 1/48 hikkie releases... The HMR releases this year, VF-4 FB!! and VF-1D!! were iconic in macross fandom terms though. 5 hours ago, ScrambledValkyrie said: It would seem that with so much focus on the new DX VF-1 (and related add-ons) that Bandai hasn’t had the resources to devote to HMR lately.

Yeah the 1/48 DX train is taking over....which i wouldnt mind too much but the pre-order madness is nuts.... 2 hours ago, vlenhoff said: Finally got this little bugger! Congrats! I got mine when FEXT came out with their armors, which made me source a HMR VF-1A! Love it to bits! 2 hours ago, jvmacross said: HMR train.... DX VF-1 train... Nicely compared!!! Arcadia train...Lots of admirers taking pics but not actually boarding... and toynami train... Quote
vlenhoff Posted June 5, 2019 Posted June 5, 2019 (edited) lol @ toynami... All the wagons should be detached though... i have two... one boxed, so it doesn't fall apart by looking at it. Edited June 5, 2019 by vlenhoff Quote

Will check Jungle and Mandrake. NY is my last resort. No urgency since I have some many new things coming in. But I love CF. I am waiting for a 1/48 CF to arrive. It has a set of woodland armor waiting for him. Quote

Making of post here if you're interested I'm pretty sure this one looks accurate than what HMR has. Love that stand, @kyekye. It would be nice if Bandai will include a DYRL themed display stand for the upcoming DX Hikaru VF-1S. Quote

Seconded. 130 is about double the original MSRP. I know they’ve become more valuable, but I think you could get one for 8000-9000 yen via Mandarake eventually. @kyekye - That is a great looking stand! Quote
vlenhoff Posted June 5, 2019 Posted June 5, 2019 ^ ^ Monster love^ @sh9000 changed the hands and the head, for you. It is crazy how hard is to pull those hands off. i don't want to break this thing! I had some fun with Brownie! Quote
kkx Posted June 5, 2019 Posted June 5, 2019 Nice effect @vlenhoff, the second one is my favorite. Quote

I think I would feel less optimistic for a Monster if we had already received all 4 other Destroids and had now been waiting 4+ years for the Monster shown in those glorious early promo shots to be released... For now, I still feel the release of the last 2 Destroids is just a matter of (more) time...right? Right?!?! Edited June 5, 2019 by jvmacross Quote

vlenhoff Posted June 5, 2019 Posted June 5, 2019 (edited) Wow, if i would have seen those commercials back then, I would have pooped my pants. In my area there was nothing macross at all. Jetfire introduced me to macross. Yeah sorry about the shaky cam, I was trying to shoot a Baymovie Gif... Just kidding, yeah i need to use my tripod, and time. I've been planing to do stop motion for a while. Edited June 5, 2019 by vlenhoff Quote
