That would help keep hope alive a bit more for sure. :)

Glad to see that the HMR line has future releases lined up, as its keeping hope alive for something Macross related in the future. :)

Fingers crossed!

Seems strange not having any pending HMR releases at the moment, even if they're not Macross related. As of October there have been five released this year, one of which was Macross (VF-4G Lightning III). It looks like there were only four released last year, two of which were Macross (VF-1D and VF-4 Lightning III). Here's hoping they've got some good things in store for the future.

Thanks for the update on this year's Super Dimension Convention. Bummed that it won't be happening, but obviously understandable. Here's to next year!

Cool toys, cools pics, and cool people. Man, I love this HMR thread. :)

^That's awesome!

^Nice! Now HMR just needs to release a VF-0S to help fill out the line up.

Yeah, I think that's the best option. For what it's worth, I think the VE-1 is the only release that I've personally had an issue with. I know there have been other issues with folks getting two right or left leg armors, some grumbling about matching orange paint/plastic (including from me), but for the most part I think the HMR line has been fairly solid in terms of quality control.

I had the same issue with my VE-1. I don't recommend pushing too hard on the fuselage because the piece of plastic that attaches it to the body is actually incredibly thin. I decided to remove the fuselage, however it was a frustrating and nerve wracking task. I recall using an x-acto knife to slice through as much of the adhesive attaching the fuselage to the body, however due to the tight fit I couldn't separate the pieces entirely. So, I ended up removing the nose cone and splitting the fuselage down the middle in order to loosen the remaining adhesive. Splitting the fus

Absolutely genius!
