Slightly off topic but does anyone else find it a little funny Sylvie's VF-2SS is used so much in promotional images and merchandise despite only appearing in the first episode?

https://www.hlj.com/1-60-scale-macross-ii-lovers-again-vf-2ss-valkyrie-ii-silvie-gena-custom-evt57191 Sylvie's VF-2SS is on sale at HLJ right now for $71. I'm reaaaal tempted to get it. I know it's crappy for a 'premium' figure but is it worth for $71 or no?

So that's it? Just a Scout Regult? Well, that was a huge disappointment. I'm happy for everyone else but I was really wishing for a new VF mold. Maybe next year...

What's even the difference between DYRL Roy's VF-1S and TV Roy's? Just the pilot suit?

What if they just announce a DYRL version of the Regult but in olive green colors?

Macross 7 VF-11C with Protect Armor is a webshop exclusive. Calling it now.

Seems like Bandai has been going in anime production order with their VF releases so maybe the next new VF mold will be a VF-11 or maybe YF-19? I hope both of those figures Bandai finds a way to fold in the handle for their gunpods. I can excuse having to swap the canopy/heatshield for the VF-1 and the landing gears too, but I don't see why we have to plug in the gunpod handle every time. Surely Bandai could've found a way to make it collapse.

I know exactly what you're talking about. I own Hikaru's VF-1A and I had the same problem. The legs just won't push in behind the head because there isn't enough clearance due to the 1A's long head design. So what I do is tilt the nose slightly upward before pushing the legs behind the head. It gives just enough clearance to make it through. I think even the instructions mention this too.

Didn't the Destroids sell poorly? Maybe Bandai cancelled it.

Been a while since I've played with my VF-1A. Good to see the black paint still rubs off easily. The VF-1 looks cool with the missiles in Battroid mode although I wish Bandai made the micromissiles either a little smaller or moved the hard points a little more over towards the edges of the wings. Makes posing them in Battroid a little awkward. Really hoping Bandai announces their VF-0s soon. I like the VF-1 but the Phoenix was always cooler to me and plus it'd be great to not have to pull out the heat shield every time you want to transform to Battroid!

Your recent posts have you bragging about your 'high end gaming PC' and getting two new job while casually insulting those with low paychecks and having children early. I make $250 a week and am barely getting by so spending $100+ on a toy is not something I can do on a whim but I saved up and bought my first Hi-Metal R VF-1A recently and I was happy with just that. But your constant bragging about being able to buy 10 Valkyries at a time, insulting people like me that are barely making a living, and trying to make yourself out as some kind of victim in this hobby really got on my nerves. You're not respectful at all, you're an arrogant ass.

This is a little ironic coming from a huge Macross II fan like you.

That's really tempting. I was really looking forward to this release until Bandai screwed up and gave us the wrong pilot. I know it's a very minor thing to be upset about but I just really can't stand Hibiki lol.

Considering how little fan art it has and it's only real animated appearance was in a 30 minute music video, I don't see how it could possibly be the most popular Valkyrie. I mean it's certainly more popular than some more obscure designs like the VF-14 and VF-3000 anyway...
