I don't know... Almost half of what Bandai show for Macross these days turn out be blue balls items. Really takes you on high and lows..

Conversely, Arcadia hardly does that. What was the last item they majorly hinted or shown, but ultimately cancelled? Was it the VF-0 CF?

blue balls? Maybe its just too cold...

As for arcadia, they dont cancel, just make you wait for valks to be released..😆

New HMR stuff in the HMR thread:

HMR VF-0D

Other HMR stuff

[recon]

Finally the YF21. With the introduction of VF-19 fire valkyrie, will we also see the likes of emerald force, M&M VF-22 and also diamond force?

[Big s]

Bandai really dumped a bunch of teasers

[seti88]

quick side-rant:

1/ hah! A mechanic edition shld come with open panels and robotic repair arms!

2/ Am not impressed with your new plastic use bandai!

3/ fire valk needs to be glossed/semi-glossed up. Seems to matt-ish (or is it just the dang new plastic!?) for my taste.

4/ where is the elvis draken?!!

Note all the internal details, and complete engine.

This is how the first release Strike/Super Parts should have come from the start.

The leg packs do have the internal details but Bandai glued them.

[ValkAddict]

Wow. AWESOME news. But no release dates ... we'll see.

[nightmareB4macross]

Hold up.

This means Bandai will be releasing a new set of Strike Pack sets with clear parts. The original leg covers are glued on. And it also appears that they filled in the details inside the booster.

maybe they’ll decide to do a GBP set.

Bandai, please make it happen.

[seti88]

Dear mods, can the yf-21 thread be unlocked? Maybe someone might do comparisons on what has changed since a year plus ago..

Now that is the most interesting thing to come out of this!

Please don't be vaporware! And please make it 1/3000 scale!

I have little faith in Bandai though...

Uh… yes please

[no3Ljm]

With how much details shown on that size, it's definitely not a Cosmo Fleet size revival, right?

^ Ditto. I need this in my life Bandai!

So, I saw a video that was posted in the Bandai Spirits SDF-1 Macross thread, and it showed a VF-27y Fast Pack, VF-25S Super, VF-25F Super, RVF-25 Super with Ghosts, VF-25G Super along with the VF-171EX Alto.  Since I cannot understand what is being said, are these just for tease, or are these the tentative releases for WWM releases? They had revival printed on the cards, but I could not tell what the commentator was saying.   I would love to get a VF-25S, a VF-27y Super and a VF-171EX Alto brand new.  Also would really like to get a VF-25F Super.  I forgot how much I really like the VF-25 design until I got the VF-25 World Wide Macross release.

I believe based on the other thread that Micheal is being reissued as a super set, alto's PO as a super set came and went, and Bandai hasn't committed but is strongly implying more reissues.

[Bolt]

Wow, Bandai really overwhelmed it with the teasers. I'm loving the Red Knight . 

[seti88]

So, what's next bandai?

Did it seem, this year, like there were quite a number of macross pre-order's happening in the end/beginning of the month so far?

wonder if there would be an announcement this week and a pre-order in early May for an october release..

[Raikkonen]

I thought there would be more lined up for Zero seeing it's the 20th Anniversary...

They're going to focus more on Frontier's 15th Anniversary this year than Zero. Zero's 20th Anniversary was last year.

You right. I keep thinking 2003 as that's when I first saw it...

So far its only been 2 MFrontier releases, the alto and micheal DX. Do you think they would fit in luca this year too?

And maybe an OZMA DX christmas? Would be nice if it came fully armored! 

Otherwise, fire bomber DX....or sheesh the long awaited YF-21..

[davidwhangchoi]

what's next for bandai?

trash hi metals copying arcadia designs.

 

i hope for the dx yf-21

Yeah. They might add another Messiah towards end of this year. Based on what was released last year which is 3 Valks from the Delta movie. So hopefully 3 Messiahs this year in coincide with Frontier's 15th Anniv. And maybe in between they will continue announcing some HMR VF-0's from Zero's Anniversary last year?

[borgified]

Since that the Revival 25 are being done, does the 27 count (either Sterne or O’Conner/CF version) or not plausible at all? 
 

Edit: Still no love for the Elvis Draken, but Booger has his Flaming Hot  Cheeto Tempered version Draken as a teaser? 🙄
