RDX17

HLJ shipping notification received. One step closer.

That color difference between the molded plastic and painted parts is really unfortunate. I know there have been other pictures where the difference isn't so noticeable, but it's still disappointing to see it...particularly the divide between the cockpit and the fuselage.

Say what?! :)

HLJ payment confirmation. Just waiting for that shipping notification, and then on the way...

Only 30 minutes in, but it's been quite a listen so far... "The SpeakerPODcast Crew is back from Wonder Festival 2018 Summer. In a word, it was MOSPEADASTIC! So many Mospeada toys and kits. And of course, we’re here to talk all about it this episode. Hope you guys like your toys, because we talk about a lot of them! First, though, we need to catch up on all the recent Macross news and announcements – and there’s a lot to discuss!" http://www.decultureshock.com/speakerpodcast-ep-111-wonder-festival-2018-summer/

VT1-Super Ostrich incoming and Nex's VF-2 on the November horizon. If this is it for 2018, there will only have been 4 Hi-Metal R (Macross) releases for the year. Not sure what this means (if anything) for future HMR Macross releases, but I do hope they keep 'em coming...even if it's at a slower pace. Just trying to keep hope alive for that Tomahawk we keep getting teased with.

Nice avatar you got there.

^Not cool dude. I get that you're frustrated with MyKombini, but I don't think these types of comments are relevant or appropriate here. I didn't down vote you, but I think you should consider editing your post.

Patience, patience...all in good time.

It's always those non-Macross releases that throw me off. It'd really be interesting to know how many each of these releases were produced and/or sold.

So, we've got the VT-1 scheduled for an August release (from an April 2nd pre-order), but nothing beyond that at the moment. I wonder if we're going to get an announcement this month? In the later half of 2017, we had the Defender released in August, the VF-1S (35th Anniversary - Messer) in September, the VF-2SS in November, and the Regult Missile set in December.

SpeakerPodcast is back! *And congratulations to Creative Sphere on the English Translation job for Passionate Wakure. Keep up the great work guys!

No issue with my Hikaru VF-1A leg armor. Sorry you guys are having to deal with this, and I hope if you're reporting it back to the vendor it's in turn being brought to the attention of the manufacturer. I think this line has had quite a good run with quality assurance, and here's hoping they can keep it up for the duration.

I'm going to have to re-check mine tonight to confirm there's no issue, but I didn't notice anything when it arrived.

Hikaru's Super VF-1A has arrived. No issues to report, although I just realized I need to pick up more stands.
