I do love the hmr as well, but I’m also more interested in kits than toys. The Glaug kit is pretty cheap for now from places like hlj or hobbysearch or any other Japanese hobby site. Some American sites might have it eventually, hasegawa macross stuff is kinda odd that some items show up and others are harder to find stateside

I think anything SDFM and DYRL is going to be harder to find locally due to licensing issues on those titles.

So the Glaug might be easier to find on japanese hobby sites.

Hopefully temporary. The other shipping services were suspended due to the tariff issues.

Man, yeh, that stinks!  I REALLY want to try the 1/48 Low Vis VF-1A Un Air Force kit as my ONE and only 1/48 fighter model from SDF Macross,  but I can get the Rickaru VF-1J TV version off Amazon for $43 free Prime shipping  and just do a low vis paint scheme I guess....

That sucks. Unfortunately things are crazy right now. The price on the Glaug seems to be only mid thirties just for the kit, but a lot of sites unfortunately seem scared by shipping and have really boosted that part of the cost or eliminated certain methods that may end up higher during the shipping process.

basically rough times for collectors and model builders, with a lot of uncertainty on the way.

I’m even getting emails from big U.S. sites like BBTS that they may have to almost charge triple for everything they get since most of their products come from places with tariffs or extra high tariffs

I'm gonna wait it out and pile up in my private warehouse. I'm also thinking hlj needs to extend our private warehouse time..

They were already complaining about the overcrowding of the private warehouse, I’m just hoping this tariff stuff ends before I get any thing else dropped in. It’s probably gonna be something they’ll be forced to discuss fairly soon though either way.

I shipped my stuff immediately, before the cost of shipping REALLY starts going up. I'm pretty sure it was something like 14000 yen for 2 Glaugs and 2 MP Eva kits. Oof...
