Dear bandai, Please DO NOT release any HMR power suits. Thx.

 

[sh9000]

That looks cool!  If the N-Ger was a little bit taller then it would be great.  Come on Bandai release the HMR version.

[borgified]

I'm going to question you on that one @Convectuoso. 

Where did you get this image from? A version of this was shown at one of the Tamashii Nations Show at around last year, however it didn't make it into the HMR lineup yet.

[Convectuoso]

@borgified I took that picture. The N-Ger is the 1/100 model kit by Over Dard, which was built with custom articulation.

[borgified]

Thanks for clearing it up and good work @Convectuoso! 

Bandai still needs to release the Tomahawk. Phalanx, N-Ger, Q-Rau and the Regult Scout for the HMR lineup..

We know the Hi-Metal line is not exactly 1/100, but a bit taller.

Yeah I meant if your N-Ger was a little bit taller.  That’s why I’m hesitant to build any of the 1/100 kits that I have.

[Convectuoso]

@sh9000 I know, but model kits look like the only option to complete an interesting lineup in 1/100-ish scale. I can look past some scale inconsistencies if the figures and kits look good together. That's why I'm trying to have all my 1/100 kits built, and some of similar size (such as the Wave "Non-scale" VF-0 line)

I should have used the Strike parts on my VF-1S instead of Super parts

Unless you glued them on....looks like you have an excuse to play with it again and reshoot! 

[sh9000]

Yes still very good and close enough.

Put on the Strike cannon and recreate some DYRL scenes.

[Drad]

I haven't kept up. Is Macross Hi-Metal R officially dead? I hope not.

Where's my Max and Kakizaki TV VF-1A's? TV Roy VF-1S? Queadluun Rau? Wasn't the Tomahawk ready to go?

I'm only buying one DX because of cost/space issues, but I was all in with Hi-Metal R.

[Bolt]

Scroll up to @Roy Focker comment. It's the closest statement I resonate with, personally.

[borgified]

Not to be snarky @Drad, do you read previous posts? I think that we're all guilty of that as we read only the updated news and not the old ones.

I read a ways back. Saw Taps being played for Hi-Metal R, supposedly. Still didn't see anything that officially said Macross Hi-Metal R was done. If it is, bummer.

[easnoddy]

I'm sure its not completely done, but any Macross HM-R releases will likely be few and far between at this point.

Has there ever been an official announcement that a line was dead? Just wondering?

[vladykins]

I think folks are just speculating since nothing was shown in the HMR exhibit.

[vlenhoff]

I think we must face that our collections will never be complete.

[easnoddy]

I expect them to milk the HM-R VF-1 mold a few more times.  As for Q-Rau/N-Ger and Tomahawk/Phalanx...not holding out hope.  Perhaps they regretted milking the VF-4 mold?

I don’t remember seeing any ‘official’ announcements made by Bandai when a toy line gets cancelled. They just stop and move to the next thing. 

 

[frankell05]

Fwaaaaaaak yf-19 and yf-21 are never going to happen. It's still left up to studio half eye to have produced the only good ones at the 1/100 ish scale. 

[sh9000]

The R will stand for Returns for HMR Macross.

[Drad]

I hope the line picks up again. I'd like to complete my collection.

[derex3592]

So say we all! 

[no3Ljm]

It's a surely bet that when they [R]estart this line again, we're going to see another round of [R]efined VF-1's all over again to somehow [R]eintroduce the new line to the customers. Announce and show some prototypes of some obscure mechas that wasn't produced from the last line in events and whatnot, and during midway of the new line they will just set it aside the whole thing again.

But hey, atleast new collectors get to buy some new batches of [R]efined VF-1's at MSRP. Win-win again for Bandai, right? 

 

[DewPoint]

Are you sure that it won't be [R]enewed, [R]epaint, or [R]eissue? 

[seti88]

Dear bandai, please kill the HMR line for macross.

thanks.

And they will not be Hi Metal white or HMR grey but somewhere in between.............. so they don't match.

[rocketblast]

I was hoping Bandai would re-issue the VF-1S Roy Focker.  Guess that is never happening.  Weren't they also suppose to come out with Khakizaki?  I loved this line, very easy to place around the desk or on the computer.

Kakizaki is one of those figures that got displayed from previous events (definitely not last year's events) that wasn't produced... yet.

Especially since they already seemed to have a Tomahawk ready to go.  

Just release it already, Bandai!!

Let's not...

Or the Nousjadeul-Ger...

Or the Phalanx...

Or, dare I say.....

Stop playing with my emotions, Bandai.  Don't make a brotha go Big Worm on ya!

 

 

[Convectuoso]

From all those pictures, the Regult Scout is the one I want the most
