Expand Same here too. I only appreciate it if it's super cute. But I don't buy them. The only time I bought an SD is the Makurosu figure which I already sold it last year.

Big s Posted March 17, 2022 Posted March 17, 2022 Sd kits and toys don’t really do it for me either. I do think they have a roll in increasing the popularity of a franchise. There’s also that whole attempt at trying to get your girlfriend into your hobby, when she’s not into models, so you try something odd like getting her a hello kitty gundam kit and hoping that changes her mind. I guess they can be used as a gateway drug to the hardcore crack that is mecha modeling building Quote
Sanity is Optional Posted March 17, 2022 Posted March 17, 2022 I picked up the Bandai transforming SD kits, and I actually quite like them. Though I don’t think I’d ever spend the effort on building and painting an eggplane. Quote

Not that she's actually building Macross kits now, but I get far less crap about them showing up at our house and she occasionally asks really good technical questions about the build process. Quote

Expand That’s a pretty good example. Now you can show her some of the delta stuff and get her into the whole idol aspect of macross and some of those kits. Then eventually she’ll see a regult and think it’s a super cute walking egg and then she’s hooked. The downside will be that you’re gonna need at least 2 of every kit Quote
no3Ljm Posted March 17, 2022 Posted March 17, 2022 Just want to let everyone know that HLJ is having their HLJ Spring Sale 2022 sale on their Hasegawa kits: https://www.hlj.com/search/?q=macross&productFilter=manufacturer%3AHasegawa%3B%3BitemGroup%3ASPRINGSALE2022 Quote
Big s Posted March 17, 2022 Posted March 17, 2022 Thinking a bout the super vf1 set. The super vf1a battroid and the fighter and Gerwalk to go with it. Maybe that weapons set to go with it Quote
Bolt Posted March 17, 2022 Posted March 17, 2022 That's cool. But I've got nearly all those already and some doubles. I see they still don't have the SVF-41 Black Aces in stock yet. Too bad, that's the one I really need! Quote

Expand Maybe Hasegawa will repop an Angel Bird in either scale and pack in a resin Fan Racer as a limited edition release. I can really see them doing that. It's a tiny plane and they do limited release resin pack ins from time to time. Quote
Gabe Q Posted March 23, 2022 Posted March 23, 2022 I can't believe it's been 21 years since the release of these. Time flies! And we're just barely getting the GBP armor and Regult! Quote

TMBounty_Hunter Posted March 30, 2022 Posted March 30, 2022 Or in less than 48 hours? Hasegawa tweeted out that they're back to the usual thing of announcing June and July releases together to pre-empt Shizuoka Hobby Show. Announcement will be April 1st at 13:00 JST Quote
Big s Posted March 30, 2022 Posted March 30, 2022 Hope they post something cool. I do still think that an easy one for them would be the missile variants for the regult or at least add on packs for it. But I’d love to be surprised and see some of the armors Quote

Big s Posted April 1, 2022 Posted April 1, 2022 At least they announced something. Maybe since the last armored type had a regult following it, the missile types are comin up soon Quote
Bolt Posted April 1, 2022 Posted April 1, 2022 I would hope Missile types are coming. But i am happy they're working the armored valk mold. Hopefully they'll milk the Regult mold too ! Quote
electric indigo Posted April 1, 2022 Posted April 1, 2022 According to Digitamin, it has round fingered hands as bonus parts. I like the colors. Quote
