Bandai TINY Sessions SD Macross toy line

[Anasazi37]

I couldn't sleep last night and happened to be up when the PO opened for these three, so I went to HLJ. Wow, that was a terrible decision. Not sure if it's because a ton of items from a lot of different properties went up for PO right after the Tamashii Nations event, but their site was getting absolutely hammered starting at 4pm JST. I tried to buy them for 30 minutes, but couldn't get to the payment screen (it would keep crashing). I finally gave up and tried again early this morning, remembering that these don't sell out instantly like the DX valks. Completed the order in 10-15 seconds. The experience reminded me to NOT use HLJ when PO Madness is a real concern. Their system can't handle the traffic.

These are so cute.

[nightmareB4macross]

If the newer versions or the DX VF-25 re-renewals are finished like this, we’ll then, count me in.

Bandai has their hooks in me.

[nightmareB4macross]

Too awesome!

Can’t wait until I get the full squadron.

Sorry about the homemade stand.😅

[twich]

I really wanted these, and my wife convinced me to get them for my two youngest kids for Christmas.  They arrived today from HLJ and I didn't open them, but I will have a smile on my face on Christmas morning when my son and daughter open them up on Christmas morning!

You kiddos are going to love opening these up on Christmas.

Mine wants a nice chess set and the other wants, well, not sure yet.

They, 11 & 16, saw these and all they said was “Cool those are cute.” My 11 YO played with it and really liked it.

[twich]

The boy is 14, he is getting the VF-25F and my daughter is 12, she is getting the VF-25G, because it is blue!

how is the build quality? Is it light, or does it feel substantial in the hand?

they look well put together.

They are very solid figures. The joins are stiff and the quality build is top notch. Great material used and paint apps are crisp. The mini figures are all kinds of adorable.

That heat shield better be integrated! 

[Zx31]

The figures are neat. The stand adapter is not. A bit of a bummer for figures as solid as these.

[Anasazi37]

Clicked the "ship" button this morning at HLJ, so I should have mine early next week. Had to wait until the Nendoroid Denji reissue was available so I could ship everything in my Private Warehouse, which includes an Arcadia Tomahawk. I'm debating if I should make decals for that. Not enough hours in the day and every time I use my ALPS printer I'm basically gambling that it won't break. Discussion for the other dedicated thread.

Those VF-1S are going to be fun! Hopefully we get all the pilots for DYRL and SDF-M.

That really makes me happy and a good way to share my Love of Macross toy collecting with my kids!

I drew the line at these SD valks, but something tells me I’m gonna regret not getting them in coming years…

I haven't had mine ship out yet.  I'm waiting for other items from AE to be available to ship everything together.

Yeah I regretted not buying them about a minute after declining to buy them, so I turned right around and ordered them. All of them.

I got Michaels V25 and let me tell you, this thing is way better than a $25 toy has any right to be.

I wanted to get at least the Frontier valks, but I had to prioritize some things this month to stay within my toy budget.  There're just other things I wanted more these days.  Hopefully they'll be available a month or 2 from now, and I'll pick them up then.

Budget?

What’s that?

🥸

Hopefully, they will be. These are very nice figures. Who knows, maybe Bandai will offer separate armor packs or bundle sets in the future.

I’m still resisting.. and it’s been slowly getting cheaper on Amazon JP for the existing releases 25F & 25G. Please, sell out soon.. please

The VF-25's arrived from HLJ today. These are awesome!

[The Sum of Zero]

As great as these are, I can't be the only one who finds the stands to be absolutely god damn frakking infuriating, right?

Like jesus christ.

I agree. There's no way to lock the VF on the stand
