  1. I bought 2 of the Revival Version. One is staying in fighter mode on my bedroom shelf and will never be transformed. The second one I transformed to battroid mode, which took me about 30 minutes. It will stay in my display cabinet and never be transformed again. 😅
  2. Here's a question.......... So, I've already had the Japan version of Macross Shooting Insight for PS4 pre-ordered for a long time. But, I also want to order the physical international PS4 version. Any links to where I can order it? Preferably somewhere that will ship here to Hong Kong where I live. I had assumed that Hong Kong physical game shops and also the Hong Kong Playstation online Store would be getting the international version, but seems like we are not getting it here due to some licensing related issues, at least according to some local game shop staff here that I've spoken to. So, I'm suddenly scrambling to find a way to order a physical copy of the international PS4 version. I've done a Google search and looked on Amazon.com and Amazon.co.uk, but I'm not seeing it. Or at least it's not showing up when my address is set to Hong Kong.
  3. Every time I see there's a new post, it gets my hopes up that it's some actual news about the new series, but nope.😅🤣
  4. I've always thought calling the VB-6 a "Variable Bomber" is kinda silly as it doesn't carry any bombs, so can't drop any bombs. If you are going to keep the "VB" designation, it would make more sense to call it a "Variable Bombarder", as it's basically a highly mobile artillery piece that solves the problem of the extremely limited mobility and speed of the original Destroid Monster, by being able to rapidly fly to any point required in the battle space in a short period of time. Thus making the VB-6 much more tactically relevant and useful compared to the original Destroid Monster.
  5. I got rid of most of my Yamato V2s years ago, so I'm super excited about this Bandai 1/48 VT-1 DX. Got 2 on pre-order.
  6. Not really familiar with Crunchyroll. Obviously heard of them, but I thought they were some US only anime streaming service. Never realized they sold toys also,
  7. Picked up my 2 yesterday from my local Valk pusher. Only opened one so far and not yet transformed. I just put it on the display stand in fighter mode so far without the super parts attached. I only attached the missiles and the gunpod. Missiles attached very tightly to the wing hard points, which is a good thing in my opinion. No obvious issues, apart from the rubber head lasers are not straight. But that's normal and anyway it comes with a spare hard plastic set. But I've only spent about 10 minutes with it so far, so there may be hidden issues. Happy to report the wing pegs didn't pop off in the short time I handled it....LOL.
  8. Just picked up mine from my local addiction facilitator. 😅

    Surprised they didn't show the HMR Q-Rau that was shown last time.

    Hi-Metal R

    Yes, so far it does. Definitely looking forward to this one.
  11. If Bandai make the SDF-1 TV version toy, then the shoulder rail guns better be able to hinge downwards in Cruiser mode, so I can recreate the iconic Yoshiyuki Takani art. 😅 This is probably my all-time favorite piece of his artwork.
  12. While I'd love a Bandai DX VF-11B Super, VF-11C Super and VF-11C Full Armored, I think the chance is very small. Somewhat more realistically (maybe 😅), I'm hoping for at least a few of the following to be released by Bandai in 2024: DX 1/60 VF-31AX Arad. DX 1/60 VF-31AX Chuck DX 1/60 Tornado Pack Reissue for VF-25F Alto. DX 1/60 Tornado Pack Reissue for VF-25G Michael. DX 1/60 VF-25S Ozma Reissue with Armored pack. DX 1/60 SV-303 Vivasat (one can hope). ❤️ HMR Destroid Tomahawk. HMR Destroid Phalanx. HMR Nousjadeul-Ger (DYRL version). HMR VF-17S and VF-17D (my favorite VF from 1994 to 2008). DX 1/48 VT-1 Super Ostrich. DX 1/48 VE-1 Elint Seeker. DX 1/48 VF-1A Cannon Fodder, DX 1/48 VF-1A Hikaru (DYRL). DX 1/48 VF-1A or S Max (DYRL). DX 1/60 YF-30 Chronos Reissue (mine became so yellowed 😭). DX 1/60 VF-22S Max. DX 1/60 SV-262Hs Mirage or Bogue Red Knight.
  13. I've still got a couple of Yamato Tomahawks (the original release and the green one), which are still fine and not broken. So the Arcadia is an easy pass for me. But yeah, also hoping that Bandai eventually releases an HMR Tomahawk.
  14. As someone who studied the lineart extensively back in mid-90s when Plus and 7 came out (and also from my many discussions with Yamato, back when I was friends with the CEO), from what I remember, it's pretty much nearly every part of the VF-19Kai/F/S/P that is different from the YF-19. You cannot reuse the same molds/tooling. From what I remember, it's maybe only the hands, biceps and feet that are similar (and the gunpod for the F, S & P). Every other part requires completely different tooling. Basically, there is very little comonality between the YF-19 and VF-19Kai/F/S/P.
  15. Unboxed and transformed my Hi-Metal R VF-1A Kakizaki yesterday. Happy to report, none of the problems reported in the above post. Mine fits together fine.
