Lonely Soldier Boy

I wouldn't mind a second one for an Urban Camo custom.

Paid for my 2 pack. Been waiting for these since Bandai first announced the normal Regults. Now the Scout is my new Holy Grail of HM-R toys.

Awsome! Different markings!

Monday as in tomorrow? Where's a good place to order it, or should be available at the usual online sotres?

The girl that was doing the promotional overview of the Sideshow booth at the SDCC, completely ignored this Deckard figure for some reason. This was the best screenshot I could take, since the camera just blurred over it all the way to Jack Burton. It's not listed in the SS site either (as of now), but it's the most exciting thing from the Con for me so far. After all these years, finally a decent 1/6 licensed Deck figure!

Yeah, not biting. The guy that did the toynami sculpt lacks aesthetic eye and good taste. The lighting is also tacky. Looks like a chinese KO. This one is gorgeous, I'd give an arm and a leg for a toy that looks like this and close the SDF-1 chapter for good.

That EVO test shot seems to be made from the same cheap plastic they used on their VF-2ss. The 1/60 has me slightly more interested. What's the point in having a High End toy if the landing gear is useless and ugly anyway? This way they'll only have to concentrate in making sure the toy is sturdy and locks together well. Cheaper and fun to fiddle with is also a bonus.

Thanks. I knew there was a reason I was hesitant of ordering with them. I guess their price is not the worse out there, so I'll just stick with them this time. Mykombini also has a history of taking a few days to put up their Hi-metal preorders up, BTW.

Still waiting for NY, but preordered at Amiami last night just in case. Can you cancel on them without trouble or will they punish you somehow?

Nothing from NY yet.

I'm refreshing on the Hi-metal search myself.

Ah, cool. Thanks, Slave IV.

Sold out on eBay. Was 155+ shipped a good deal? Where can we expect the best price?

So is the 1/35 confirmed for next year?

Thanks for all the replies. I assumed that much. Too much new Macross stuff out there already, so this may not the best moment to sell these out. Ebay sellers are asking quite a lot, but I guess I'll have to lurk around to see if they're actually selling.

Hi, everyone. I have a modest 1/48 collection that I'm thinking to part with, but I'd like to gauge the current interest on those first, since I don't want to list everything only to sell a FAST Pack set in the course of two years. I'm willing to take the risk of course, but it doesn't hurt to gather some information first. So. Are 1/48's selling these days? Or is everybody focused on DX's and HM-R's? Thoughts?

Nobody hates it either, I think it's a thing of affinity really. Me, I would've pick at least two Cavaliers, or an Enigma (talking about non cannon). But I feel no love for this one.

I'll take the wallet break, Bandai. Thanks. Weird. I can think on so many obscure variants of the VF-1 that are actually cannon and would love to see made (This guy for instance). I guess anniversary releases are for shoving in whatever new stuff toy companies can come up with.

Bandai should make a new one in the HMR line.

Bike mode is clearly a solid prototype. Are these photos new? I believe they were posted before. Anyway I'm sure the actual toy will look great, being die cast and all, and I even like the redesign, but after the inicial hype, I had to cancel my preorder. That Shogo figure and the long torso were the real deal breakers for me.

I just got the payment request from Mykombini for the missile effects set.

Armo Soldier is growing on me, but yeah, reviews first. Judging by the size, I'm guessing ET is going the High End route with this one (like when Yamato released the big a$$ Ingram and Scope Dog toys), but to pull that off, you really need to be willing to swim the extra mile. Engineering wise, I'm still waiting to see something different than what Toynami and CM's did. For example, there's no indication that the tail fins wont be swinging freely in and out the moment you pick up the toy.

I'm getting one of each destroid, except for the Spartan, since it seems to be the only one that has two combat modes: hand to hand and artillery.

LOL These kids look so excited yet they have no clue what those toys are about.
