    Haha, yeah I still consider Arcadia the best in the game. It says a lot that their designs from decade(s) ago not only hold up but are superior in ways to new stuff coming out from other companies.

    Kind of, if he’s going to say: We all already know they are clearly different from pictures.
  3. Slave IV
    You’ve had the HM and HMR VF-19 in hand already?

    BTW, I didn’t think there is any difference in the US version. It’s just the allotment specified for the US market as far as I can tell. Only difference is you don’t get the brown box shipper for TWE releases.

    The only thing I’ve ever seen that makes more sense and works is SH Monsterarts specifically from awesomecollector. They are the only place I’ve seen any Bandai product that is regularly released in two versions. They usually list the Japanese version first at a typical price with the markups we’re used to seeing but then they will later list a US version that is discounted to the point where it is sometimes less than what I can buy direct from Japan for. They used to offer free shipping on all orders, which helped but now they are selective in what gets free shipping but depending on situation, their US release is usually comparable to buying direct from Japan.

    There are a bunch of comparisons in this thread including an interview with Bandai a few posts above that explain the differences. This is a completely new mold as apposed to minor updates like the VF-1.

    Thanks for posting this. I already knew myself but always wonder why people insist that “it’s about the same price” to buy from places like bbts. Even at heavy discount, at best I’ve seen stuff maybe come close to the price I got it for from Japan maybe in one or two cases they came within a couple dollars more or less but that’s hardly a chance worth waiting for.

    I like them both but I was thinking after seeing the comparison pics that I’d keep the HM in Battroid mode most the time and play around with the HMR but leave it mostly in Fighter mode.

    It doesn’t matter to me too much as long as metal is used where it makes sense to. Plus, metal is just nice material sometimes even if it doesn’t make sense to use. The funny thing to me is calling a line of toys Hi-Metal when it is mostly Lo-Metal. But yeah, I have every Macross release and most the others too so it clearly doesn’t bother me too much.

    Is the sound booster separate again?

    That headsculpt looks so real, it’s a bit creepy the way it’s hanging out in that box.

    Aliexpress

    I don't think so. I just recently cancelled my order for those two after about 4-5 years of being on hopeful preorder.

    Yep, the Skrull is on the FF shelf right above. Thanks! Yeah, I was happy to see that Buggy made and it brings back the vintage toys like the Spider Cooter that you can slightly see a little behind the Buggy by Leopardan. Thanks! I have a lot of figures I need to dig out of storage to finish these shelves off.

    You might not need to but you could...especially again when that's that the topic pretty much calls for. Anyways, I like seeing what people are getting and used to post in this thread more often but just not into sharing as much as I used to. Heres a couple of my more recent and notable purchases on display though. Mezco Doom and Gobby. Both fantastic releases.
