The last hobby related prayer I did was a few years back for Cap to reissue the Inbit kits. No wait...it was the one that all Zentradii warship classes be available for purchase. Couldn't hurt I guess. Quote
Felix Posted February 15, 2020 Posted February 15, 2020 I got my notification for payment from AmiAmi yesterday. Now the waiting begins. Quote

Did you place the order direct with Amazon, and not with a 3rd party seller on Amazon? Amazon Japan G.K. 2020/02/19 - 2020/02/22 It's just a day but it's an odd difference to have. Quote

Draykov Posted February 17, 2020 Posted February 17, 2020 (edited) Speaking of Bandai teases...how often do they display stuff at shows that never sees the light of day? Because I'd be into this two-pack: Edited February 17, 2020 by Draykov Quote

Monsterarts Vajria for the Froniter display, however the Vajria never made it up for production. @David Hingtgen wanted a Figuarts Rain Mikamura as it was teased, it never got made. A teased YF-21 was presented in the OG Hi Metal lineup, got scrapped after the line got cancelled. No telling if the YF-21 will get the upgraded treatment and made in to the present HMR lineup. Even some of the 1/6th companies made teasers for the large show (Comic Cons and Trade Conventions) and it never got made due to production costs. TBL teased a Ninjak figure, got cancelled due to lack of sales (possible reason why). Quote

They have piles and piles of SH Figuarts Star Wars figures alone that have never seen the light of day. Quote

For whatever it's worth, I just did a quick survey of 4 other HMR Macross boxes and they all said "Illustrated by". This one says "Photo & Illustrated by". Thank you Quote
sh9000 Posted February 17, 2020 Posted February 17, 2020 (edited) I want a HMR VF-0S, VF-11B, YF-21, YF-19, and VF-17S to go with my other Fighters in my detolf shelves. Edited February 17, 2020 by sh9000 Quote
borgified Posted February 18, 2020 Posted February 18, 2020 Jungle has HMR VF-4G Roy for grabs at 13.2k yen (limit 4 and not including 5% surcharge for fees) https://jungle-scs.co.jp/sale_en/products/detail/354047 *Still priced on the high side* Quote
chyll2 Posted February 18, 2020 Posted February 18, 2020 meanwhile, Mandarake has dropped its first (I think ) VF-4 roy at 9k yen. Sold out now though. Quote
505thAirborne Posted February 18, 2020 Posted February 18, 2020 Just arrived Via AmiAmi, for the size of these HMR toys the detail work is quite impressive. Even includes a display stand... nicely done Bandai! Quote

Thanks @Lolicon, I missed out on Hikaru's VF-4 so I'm glad I got this one. My 2nd VF-4 Roy in the Private Warehouse with HLJ for now. Those few month will fly by when you get yours. Quote

It'll have to stand plain next to it's VF-4 sibling. Quote
sh9000 Posted February 18, 2020 Posted February 18, 2020 I plan on making a version 2 chess board with each square being 8”. The finished chess board will be a 5’ 4” square and will accommodate the HMR Monsters for Rooks. I’ll probably take a picture of the setup on my living room floor or a parking lot or something. HMR love! Quote
Sanity is Optional Posted February 18, 2020 Posted February 18, 2020 Picked up mine, just about the fastest I've ever seen from DHL. Shipped at 4pm on Monday in Japan, ready for pickup before noon on Tues in California. Quote

sumyumgoy Posted February 19, 2020 Posted February 19, 2020 Just got mine as well, of all the places to put the damn sticker...thankfully it was one of those that are easily removable. Crisis averted! Quote
Sanity is Optional Posted February 19, 2020 Posted February 19, 2020 Same spot on my box, and yes thankfully these ones don't leave goop behind. Quote

505thAirborne Posted February 19, 2020 Posted February 19, 2020 Thanks @seti88 , I feel you, I live vicariously through MANY of the pics here! One quick shot for the night, I'll let @Saburo handle the HD quality pics. Quote
Guyffon Posted February 19, 2020 Posted February 19, 2020 I just realized that the number on this vf-4S is 101, does that mean it belongs to hikaru? Quote
Sanity is Optional Posted February 19, 2020 Posted February 19, 2020 Obviously it's the TV version VF-4, where Hikaru has the black+yellow paintjob. Quote
