sh9000 Posted October 20, 2020 Posted October 20, 2020 I’m going to order the 3rd party Transfomer Kalavinka and see how it looks next to my HMR. Quote

Wow the other listings are also close to that number. Mine doesn't have a stand though. Quote
RDX17 Posted October 20, 2020 Posted October 20, 2020 Seems strange not having any pending HMR releases at the moment, even if they're not Macross related. As of October there have been five released this year, one of which was Macross (VF-4G Lightning III). It looks like there were only four released last year, two of which were Macross (VF-1D and VF-4 Lightning III). Here's hoping they've got some good things in store for the future. Quote
borgified Posted October 20, 2020 Posted October 20, 2020 We might see a glimpse of a few (?) HMR that will be on display in the Tamashii Nations Show next month on November 6-8 virtually. Most likely the DX YF-29 Alto Full set and the DX VF-1s Roy and the Supers (both TV version) will be on display. Quote

Hopefully, Bandai pulls through with more HMR. Slowly loosing hope for this line. Maybe there’s hope after this exhibition. Quote
HardlyNever Posted October 22, 2020 Posted October 22, 2020 The line itself is still doing pretty well, it's just they aren't making Macross stuff right now. Hopefully, that will change in the future, but I'm glad the line still exists, even if they are making other franchise products atm. Can't get more Macross HMR if the line is completely dead. Quote

I just grabbed him. My HM-R set is almost done now! I started this summer with the Monster. $800 latter, I've got everything I want except for the GBP armor. Hopefully the line continues and I can get them as new releases now. Quote
borgified Posted October 24, 2020 Posted October 24, 2020 Hopefully that we might see a glimpse of a new HMR next month on the 6/7, but you know how that goes sometimes. Quote

DewPoint Posted November 6, 2020 Posted November 6, 2020 So some time later we will get Hi-Metal Double R or Hi-Metal S? Quote

sqidd Posted November 6, 2020 Posted November 6, 2020 24 minutes ago, Anasazi37 said: Soul of Hi-Metal Double R DX I think the Superbikes have the system down. The Superbike designations go (for the most part): -R (race) -RR (really racey) -RS (Race Support). Customer versions of the Factory/Works/Corse team superbikes -F (Factory/Works/Corse). Unobtanium.

Felix Posted November 6, 2020 Posted November 6, 2020 Macross Hi-Metal R might be dead, but there are a lot of fantastic Hi-Metal R bots coming from Dragonar, L-Gaim, and Votoms. Also, what looks like a neat vehicle set to go with the Dougram Hi-Metals. https://hobby.dengeki.com/event/1110285/ If you haven't picked up the non-Macross Hi-Metal line you are missing out on some of the best robot toys of the past few years. I just recently got the Bat-Shu frum L-Gaim and it is a thing of beauty. I hope we do get some holes filled in the Macross line, but just think of the amazing stuff we have gotten already. Quote
Corrinald Posted November 6, 2020 Posted November 6, 2020 (edited) That's nice to see the Dougram Hi Metal R line sort of continuing. The vehicles look good but they come with a straight up reissue of the Soltic? They should have at least changed the unit number Edit: Eh Maybe the Soltic is just there for reference and the vehicles are a set. Edited November 6, 2020 by Corrinald Quote
Ignacio Ocamica Posted November 6, 2020 Posted November 6, 2020 Yes, there are other great HMR lines, but it will be a crime if we don't complete the Macross Destroid line. Quote

I agree 100%. Also, still want Max and Kakizaki 1A's from both SDF and DYRL. Those seem like a slamdunk seeing as they already have the tooling. As a matter of fact, Those 4 VFs and the remaining 2 Destroids would make the Hi-Metal Macross line complete in my book. Well maybe Milla Power Suit and a Zentradi fighter pod..... oh oh and a fan racer..... Ugh! I just made myself sad. Quote

Well maybe Milla Power Suit and a Zentradi fighter pod..... oh oh and a fan racer..... Ugh! I just made myself sad. There are Max and Kakizaki DYRL VF-1A's in Hi Metal. That's what I did to fill the DYRL squad out. Looks like I'm going to need customs to fill out SDFM. Quote

RDX17 Posted November 6, 2020 Posted November 6, 2020 Glad to see that the HMR line has future releases lined up, as its keeping hope alive for something Macross related in the future. :) Quote

sh9000 Posted November 6, 2020 Posted November 6, 2020 I’ll just hope that something that was already previewed in the past will be shown again later with a release date and price. Quote
easnoddy Posted November 6, 2020 Posted November 6, 2020 The Dougram vehicle additions are cool and promising. I want that line to continue more than I do HM-R Macross. Blockhead, Ironfoot and Bigfoot are crucial. Quote

ScrambledValkyrie Posted November 6, 2020 Posted November 6, 2020 Yep, so much Macross potential remaining in this line. Bandai seems to be putting all their Macross focus into DX these days. This has been a bit of a tight year for me financially, so I'm glad for the break in that sense, but would really like to get my hands on some new HM-R! Quote
seti88 Posted November 7, 2020 Posted November 7, 2020 Yea ditto for me! HMR’s have a nice footprint ... Quote
sh9000 Posted November 7, 2020 Posted November 7, 2020 If it came down to it then I would want to have at least one Macross HMR release for 2021. Quote
