sh9000 Posted April 16, 2022 Posted April 16, 2022 If Gamestop, Target, and Walmart carried this and I was only able to choose between those stores I’d get it from Target with their 5% off but favor Gamestop because they package items much better. It is surprising that Gamestop isn’t carrying this since they get some of their items through Entertainment Earth. Quote
Sildani Posted April 28, 2022 Posted April 28, 2022 The more I see it, the more I like it. The first fruit of all our collective longing, hatred, and so on. Quote

Can't wait to get this....yes its like what about a decade old valk (the renewal version is about that old right?) from an anime from 14 years ago thats been given a new deco but i'm excited because A. it looks awesome and B. world wide release is kinda awesome for a macross toy Quote

To be fair, it was a pretty sweet toy for its time. Hopefully this release will have better hip joints and a matt finish. It is unfortunately that the three copies I have of the VF-25 are so floppy I leave them in fighter mode. Quote

I think everyone is just more concerned on the hip joints since this is a matte finish as they established it during the last Tamashii show. The hip joints however, not sure if they made it better, but then, I believe it's fixable. I tighten up my mine and along with my Isamu's YF-29. You can read some of fixes in the Macross Maintenance thread. Quote
sh9000 Posted April 30, 2022 Posted April 30, 2022 I think I'm going to put one of Yamato's Max pilot figures in mine. Quote

Special Sauce Posted May 2, 2022 Posted May 2, 2022 The box is very classy looking. I love it. Much more sophisticated than the usual. Quote
General Rasp Posted May 3, 2022 Posted May 3, 2022 Looking good! Hopefully the joints aren't loose and this is a solid start to worldwide Macross sales. Quote
Sildani Posted May 24, 2022 Posted May 24, 2022 Very nice. Glad I have this coming. I just hope the white doesn’t yellow over time! This’ll be the whitest Valkyrie I own. Quote
jenius Posted May 24, 2022 Posted May 24, 2022 Ugh, I was hoping to ship this before the new rates go in place... gonna be cutting it close! Quote
jvmacross Posted May 24, 2022 Author Posted May 24, 2022 So I wonder what WWM translates to in real world time...will Bandai ship out stock outside of Japan for a unified release or will everyone outside of Japan experience the first ever official WWM release a few days or weeks later? Quote

nightmareB4macross Posted May 25, 2022 Posted May 25, 2022 Would have been cool if Regal theaters and Bandai had these for sale at their concession stands during the LA Live screening on June 16th at 7p for Macross Frontier: the False Songstress. I’ll be going, so if anyone wants to meet up…see you there. Quote

I don’t see it to be any different than current Local distribution , local P-Bandai. Japan will release first , then other places will get it depending on how long it takes for the Boat to get to their dock . So weeks later in Asia and months later for USA , Europe , Canada , etc .

Sildani Posted May 25, 2022 Posted May 25, 2022 Yep. I ordered mine from BBTS… I’m settling in for a wait. Quote

Really was surprising to see BBTS have it on pre-order again. I was only able to get one 25 Alto back in the day so super excited for this one 🤩 Quote
