  1. Fire Valkyrie is looking good. Glad to see HMR continuing to expand into more new models and more Macross series. Given Bandai's history with others like the VF-0 and VF-4, I expect we would see more versions of the 19. And don't forget this one, with a few modifications of course...
  2. Went ahead and ordered a copy today from CD Japan. Looking forward to seeing the visual improvement and the official subs. I would also like to know the answer to this. Given the fact it was first shown in 2002, standard definition (480p) was still very much the norm. HD video didn't really get established until a few years later.
  3. Whatever platform it actually lands on in the US, I consider it good news from an accessibility standpoint. Hoping for Disney since I have a subscription already, but agree that it seems like an odd pairing.
  4. Apparently all Macross shows and movies will soon be available on Disney+ (minus SDFM and DYRL). https://anitrendz.net/news/2024/03/18/the-macross-franchise-is-coming-to-disney/
  5. It's exciting to see this come to reality, especially at the level it did. Looking forward to getting my copy.
  6. Updated my shelf of "Hikaru's Rides" with a couple of the more recent releases as well as a custom.
  7. Both Gullwing and Great White look incredible. Many years ago, MASK was my favorite toy line, and I had almost every single vehicle ever released. I remember missing Gloria and Shark as well as customizing my Thunderhawk to make it a little more show-accurate. So cool to see these come to reality.
  8. I would second this, though I think it really depends if someone has the interest and talent for actual music. As a guitarist myself for 30+ years (and a gamer for longer than that) I somewhat enjoyed Guitar Hero, but not as fulfilling as the real thing. My kids are unfortunately not into it, but a teenage son of a friend of mine has really taken to it using the self-teaching tools out there. Thanks for mentioning that. I enjoyed the similar video he did on the Castlevania series, and will have to check this one out. Another Youtube retro gaming series I've been checking out lately is this one: https://www.youtube.com/@Nowinthe90s
  9. Anticipating that Bandai follows through on the red Q-rau they teased recently?
  10. Thanks for the complements everyone. Speaking of customs, I don't think I ever posted my Roy pilot in the HMR TV VF-1S:
  11. Here's my custom HMR VF-1J CF. Thanks to @sh9000 for the spare head. For anyone wondering, Tamiya XF-92 is a nice match for the HMR CF brown color.
  12. Here's the real clown force... @sh9000 That's a good looking Max. A true TV version of both Max and Milia's 1J would be nice to see.
  13. I believe the 1A space was specifically for Kakizaki. And they did the TV version of the GBP within the last year.
  14. That would be cool. Fext Hobby was intending to make this in 1/60 but supposedly didn't get enough preorder commitments at the time.
  15. Matching up colors with my OWL armors. Here's the 102 on Kakizaki, and the 101 on the gray VF-1J from the original GBP set.
  16. How about a Macross-lorian crossover with Grogu in a baby pod like Milia's?
  17. I would say the main disappointment with the HMR Tomahawk is its non-existence.
  18. Very nicely done. I think my favorite part was the end credits scene which looked very much like it would have been from the original show. And the VF-1 was a great little easter egg.
  19. Very cool! Is that in your possession? Or did you see it for sale somewhere?
  20. Those line art cards they're putting in recent HMR releases are pretty cool.
  21. Went ahead and PO'd a Max 1A. Not sure I need Kakizaki. Also, just got a payment notice from AmiAmi for the GBP, so hope to be seeing that one soon.
  22. I keep hoping that Bandai will eventually release a DX VF-1S combo set with TV Super Parts and Hikaru pilot, now that they produced one in HMR. Like the GBP set, it would also give those who didn't get the original VF a chance to grab one.
  23. Cool pics of Max. It's great to see someone just now discovering this line. Takes me back to 2016. One thing - it looks like you have the wings attached to the wrong sides.
