Sanity is Optional Posted September 6, 2019 Posted September 6, 2019 Very much so, I need at least one, and I know of a couple friends that want Warhammers. Quote
Convectuoso Posted September 6, 2019 Posted September 6, 2019 I hope they show at least one HMR, to be sure that the line is still alive Quote
sqidd Posted September 6, 2019 Posted September 6, 2019 When did the HMR's come out? Did they only produce them for a short period of time? Or do they continue to produce them? Quote

Check out anymoon.com for the various release dates. The most recent release was the VF-4, while the earliest releases were re-workings of the original Hi-Metal VF-1 designs.

Are they continuing to produce/produce again stuff like VF-1S Fockers w/ S&S parts from time to time? Or do they just release new models? Edited September 6, 2019 by sqidd Quote

Sanity is Optional Posted September 6, 2019 Posted September 6, 2019 Bandai rarely re-releases any of their figures, some might get a second slightly changed release (like VF-31F TV release vs 31F movie release), but actually releasing the same exact figure twice is rare enough to be newsworthy (see: metal-build evangelion unit 01).

Ok, so if I want stuff that is out there now. That's all I get to choose from. Got it. I need to snap some of these up. Thanks! Quote

I need to snap some of these up. Thanks! Nothing wrong with sitting and waiting on thing that have been out a while. Recent releases will probably get more expensive over time (HMR VF-4), but older releases like the Roy VF-1S HMR has been relatively stable. No downside to waiting for one to pop up on Mandarake or for sale on this forum. Edited September 6, 2019 by Sanity is Optional Quote
beatsing Posted September 6, 2019 Posted September 6, 2019 @sqidd look at the posting above about Mandarake with HMR under a certain price. The Spartan/Archer had a lot of metal in it and feels quality, but hasn't gone up in price much. The regults are similar in quality and metal, but have shot up in price. The glaug/marauder is good quality, but hasn't gone up too much in price. The destroid monster/longtom is good quality and heavy, if you have the space. The VF-4 is nice if you like the design. The VF-1 HMR are all variations of the same upgraded design of the HM design. These are very durable toys, and many peeps on this board have dropped them no damage. Kids can play and not break these. Much better quality than Toynami etc. Peeps like them because this line is extensive including enemy mecha and destroids, that aren't produced in the 1/60 or 1/48 scale. Those scales produce much higher quality and more expensive VF but fragile though. These scales and pricing isn't for kids.  Quote
beatsing Posted September 6, 2019 Posted September 6, 2019 The tomahawk/warhammer prototype in lavender grey has been teased at different shows. Just put it out already Bandai! Quote

Seems the only one you're missing is the VF-1S Messer (which is skippable, in my opinion). If we're talking future releases, my top most wanted would be: 1. Tomahawk 2. VF-1A Max 3. VF-1S Roy/Hikaru TV version 4. Q-Rau TV version 5. VF-1A Armored Quote
gerwookie Posted September 8, 2019 Posted September 8, 2019 Wishlist: 1. Vf-1a tv max 2. Yf-19 (!!!!!!!!) 1 is more likely as 2 would be a new mold and new engineering right? A more playable yf would complement the dx version. Quote
vlenhoff Posted September 8, 2019 Posted September 8, 2019 (edited) Nousjadeul-Ger TV and DYRL Queadluun-Rau TV and DYRL Phalanx Tomahawk Scout Regult I am going to side with @Ignacio Ocamica on this one. Bandai should sell stand adaptors and gunpods separately. How can we get Shapeways to do this? Did the HM armor they sold separately includes a gunpod? I want a gunpod for my extra VE-1, when in naked fighter mode.. Edited September 8, 2019 by vlenhoff Quote

Sanity is Optional Posted September 8, 2019 Posted September 8, 2019 I admire your restraint, in my closet all of that is packed tightly on a single shelf. Quote
rocketblast Posted September 8, 2019 Posted September 8, 2019 Mine spans across the top shelf and I have boxes with my VT-1s and VE-1s in various places in the room. It's nice to be grown up and be able to get all this stuff. When I was a kid, I was so young I didn't know what this stuff was called so I didn't know how to ask for it (what I mean is, the 1/55 Bandai valkyries and whatever else).

Sanity is Optional Posted September 8, 2019 Posted September 8, 2019 I have filled an entire walk-in closet with boxes. Half of it is my gunpla backlog through, so there's that. Quote
