    Interesting. From zooming in it is textured paper, using the same illustration from the LP bag. Yes-that would be extremely rare to find, first it would need to have been bought from the Yamano music store, and second, still kept in the LP lol I would treat this like a specific store exclusive. Makes me wonder if anyone else did it. neat!

    I think we're making the same point, but about different markets. I'm mostly speaking from Bandai's perspective, so when I'm talking about the domestic markets, I mean Japanese customers. Everyone else is international customers. Maybe a weird way to say it, but it made sense in my head. But yeah, that's basically what I mean. Bandai's doing the stupid, and instead of making and selling products that they know would sell well both domestically and internationally, they're chasing the imaginary money of an international fanbase that probably does not even exist. Bandai isn't in the same financial position as Yamato by any means, so they aren't going to sink or swim based on this one franchise. But if you think of their product funding as a "Macross account," they're making the same mistake Yamato did. They built up a ton of profit and good will with products people really wanted (Frontier, Delta, SDFM, Plus), and now they're rapidly burning through it by making an entirely new line for the oddball franchise in the family. It's maybe over-generalizing, but I think Yamato burnt itself out making the Macross7 releases, because they were too expensive to produce, relative to the demand that existed. They hit the VF-1 out of the ballpark, but they over-produced it, and it couldn't support the rest of their production lines forever. The worst part is that now Bandai is doing a worse job at it than Yamato already did. Despite not being "allowed" to sell to international customers, nothing really stopped us from buying Yamato's releases, so while some of us will probably be suckers and buy everything anyway, I would expect a lot of the international demand for Macross7 is already "satisfied," and won't be motivated to purchase something that's either hilariously similar like the Fire Valk, or worse in pretty much every way, like Bandai's attempt at a "VF-17." And like you said, it sounds like even the Japanese customers are rejecting the line, so Bandai can't even count on the show's original audience to support it. The funny part to me? All of this is just making me think that the HMR route was the right way to go with Macross7 all along. Bandai's original 1/65 Macross7 line was absolutely a low-ball, but I think it says a lot that they were only willing to invest that level of development in those toys when the series was brand new. Granted, Bandai is coasting on Yamato's coattails with the HMR releases right now, since they already paid for the majority of the design work involved. But as much as I would love to see them develop a full Sound Force in 1/60, I'm thinking we'll probably be lucky to get them as HMR releases.

    Case is purely your aesthetic choice. You want the dual-chamber? Fish tank? Good-olde rectangle? This one is up to you. GPU and PSU kinda go hand-in-hand. With PSUs, overspec'ing is always OK. If you get up to a 5070 Ti or 9070 XT, the maximum you'll need is a 850W. Anything more is future-proofing. RTX 5080? You'll need a ~1000W. 5090? Get the maximum you can for a reasonable price. Minimum of 1000W, but get bigger. A 5090 can suck up all 600W of the 12V-2x6 plug. And be sure it is a newer model which has current protection. If the 5090 fries itself, you'll want the PSU to have protection.

    Picked up the Star Trek Enterprise D last night at midnight (EST). There was a 30min queue to get in. lol. In addition to the shuttlecraft 'bonus' there a mini knight kit, a chocolate holiday stand and some cards they're throwing in with the purchase.

    As I said I have already a mix of styles from the SHF Figuarts line where I have a good looking Chun-Li that fits to the image I have of the character in my mind (which is one part of what’s important). This is my issue with the Jada Fei Long. When I try to visualize Fei Long in my mind he looks like this: And the Jada figure looks nothing like this. The face, the cloths, the proportions: all wrong. The other issue is that he looks super gummy and rubbery in person (saw him once at a store) and the joint cuts on the elbows and knees look horrible. This is the other part that is important to me that the doesn’t look and feel like a Marvel Legends figure (sorry that I keep harping on MLs but the full soft plastic construction of MLs is not to my likings and best to describe what I don’t like). Ideally I would want Bandai to complete their line but that is not going to happen. However, I have a strong urge to complete the SSF2 roster and Jada seems to be the best way to achieve that. But depending how good the Storm Arena figures feel in hand I would prefer them over the Jada ones. Sadly Storm has the same problem of not completing a roster.
