    I'll admit I'm a heathen who kind of isn't going to complain one way or another about the VE-1. If we get it, great, if not, I think the PF Yamato version is plenty for me. I think my interest has always been the relative rarity of it, rather than actually liking the design, and I'm much more a fan of the VT-1 for the orange trainer scheme. I also collect the M&Ms out of impulse more than anything else, so if we get them, great, but again, I've got enough of them. I really just want to complete the DYRL Skull Squad with Max and Hikaru 1As (and maybe Roy if they ever get around to it, since I already made my own ), and pick up at least a couple brownie VF-1As. I'd love to see them do a combo TV/DYRL pack for those, but if not I think I'd prefer DYRL versions so I can use all those spare fast pack roundels to decorate them with some of the other squadron patches we've seen in the DYRL artbooks.

    The only VF-1 I want from the DX Line is VF-1S Max. Never had one of those and I don't even know if one was ever made before.

    For me in the DX VF-1 line, if I could only choose 3 more to be released it would be: VE-1 (DYRL). VF-1A Hikaru Super (DYRL). VF-1A Cannon Fodder (TV).

    don't take it personally I said Bandai loves taking advantage of dumb people. Nothing wrong with buying multiples. i usually get 2 or maybe 3 of a release i really like. I have every Yamato 1/60 release and variant being a completionist. However, Bandai loves taking advantage of completionists. they become very exploitative, it's obvious. They love reprinting the same Metal Build Exia many times over without finishing the 00 series lineup. It's been over a decade. Bandai's trick is they come out with a tiny new tampo marking with the same suit then calling it a new gundam edition. Bandai tries to exploit us by excluding missiles that came standard for every vf-1, on a design they pretty much copied. Give us a mechanic edition with fastpacks that had features already standard on every Yamato. They removed features sells it and then re-sells it with the features re-added. Nothing new engineered, just copying a toy and taking away items and including them later. and have the nerve to correct the "001" by giving a different tailfin instead of admitting they misprinted it. it's comical but yes, it's Bandai being Bandai.

    Oooh thats something to look forward to if true. Still I prefer a DX virgin road this year if ever there was going to be one... Or a DX CF...which would be tough to stay away from just 1..

    There's nothing wrong with that. I enjoy watching The Mummy (Brandon Fraser's version) for that very reason! However, Star Trek is... well, for certain fans like me, it's known as the type of show that I watch to be challenged and use my critical thinking. (Yes, I stopped watching Nu-Trek after the first Kelvin timeline movie and the 2nd season of Discovery. On the other hand, I'm currently rewatching the 4th season of Enterprise, and thoroughly enjoying it.)

    That's honestly a pretty mean comment since a lot of collectors buy double or triple of a release just to have backups! If we would have been able to have the fore site of the Hi-Metal 1/55 releases back in 83-85 lots of people would have bought more then one! but collecting wasn't a big deal back then! But you learn from your mistake and adjust!

    About the choice of terminology, certainly... but unlike NuTrek's usual fare, I feel like there's actually some method to their madness on this one even if it's a good deal less clever or subtle than Trek's better-woven Aesops. The War College wasn't a thing in Star Trek: Discovery or any other prior Star Trek series or movie and it doesn't make a lick of sense in context for Starfleet to have two separate, rival service academies with radically different educational priorities. That means it was almost certainly created for the series with a specific narrative purpose in mind. The obvious, ham-fisted, explanation being that the War College is meant as a vehicle for examination and deconstruction of the wildly unpopular decision Discovery, Picard, and Prodigy all made to go and sh*t on everything Star Trek stands for by rewriting the Federation and Starfleet as militaristic isolationists. At the very least, it suggests someone at Paramount understands why audiences hated Discovery, Picard, and Section 31. ... and the Star Trek 2009 reboot trilogy, and Picard, and Section 31. If you're watching Star Trek and you're not thinking you're either not watching real Star Trek or there's something wrong with you. This franchise made a name for itself as cerebral sci-fi that taught moral lessons and examined complex social issues through allegorical space adventure.

    I did mention the first prototype release back in November, actually a day before they showed us the next upcoming releases! I guess they were setting up the display while I was writing about the 5th anniversary of introducing us the the Hi-Metal R V.O.T.O.M.S. line 🤣 But ja, the Beserga WP was finally intruduced as an upcoming release... and I'm sure it will be another great release! 🤗 And was really hoping for the ATM-09-GC Brutishdog, with the ATM-09-ST MELQUIYAN close behind!
  12. Graham
    LOL 😂 But, I honestly woudn't be surprised.
  13. davidwhangchoi
    agree, need the movie version with yellow arrows. not buying this for round hands lol only dumb people keep re-buying copies they already own. bandai loves scamming dumb people. see it all the time with metal build repeats.

    Awesome that we get a Zero in this line. Seeing that they did a Cutman I wonder what the possibility of MDLX Mavericks are. I would love to have a Storm Eagle but all the Mega Man X Mavericks are great designs. I don’t think there is a bad one unlike X2 and X3 where most of them are a miss for me (although Neon Tiger and Overdrive Ostrich are rad).

    Bandai gave the impression that they were kinda following the HMR VOTOMS release-cycle via the tv/ova arcs sequence: Uoodo arc: RSC Last Red Shoulder ova: TC and Bloodsucker Kumen arc: Marshy, Berserga, Beetle Then, after some big delay bordering on line-cancellation, they released TC and Bloodsucker but went on and upended the scheduling by following it up with the Space Dog and Space Fatty instead, which was in the Space Arc following Kumen. Furthermore, they've only recently revealed the Brutishdog alongside the Regular and Melquiya Dogs, which are in the Uoodo arc. The Round-Mover being in a separate accessory pack now. Conspicously still missing are the Snapping Turtle and the Snapping Tortoise reveals (Kumen arcs). So Bandai just gonna keep on Bandai'ing... I had also posted these here and the HMR thread back in the day: https://www.macrossworld.com/mwf/topic/38846-votoms/page/58/#findComment-1555672

    Sometimes I really like to under think things. That’s the only way I still have fun watching Jurassic Park sequels these days. Gotta turn the brain off and just enjoy the dinos

    It’s already sounding better than the newer Trek shows

    Ah, I'd completely forgot they had shown the Berserga WP previously. So, I just did some web searching to remind myself and saw these pics on Facebook and X from Tamashii Nation 2020 of Hi-Metal R ATM-09-WR Marshydog, ATH-06-WP Diving Beetle, ATH-Q64 Berserga WP.
  20. grogall
    This would be the most logical! But the Berserga WP looked like it was further along! after all they have been working on it for almost 6 years! 🤣 But a ATM-09-WR Marshydog could also be next to start of the Kummen arc. They do sometimes like to surprise us in-between releases like they did with the ATM-09-ST (Space Assault) version which was never shown with the Turbo Custom and Bloodsucker although it was released between them! But I'm sure we will know by the end of next month! 🤗

    I've thought about it and I know the next DX release... It will be the Hikaru VF-1J anniversary edition arriving in December with new flight stand that says "8 Years!"

    I would much rather overthink something than underthink it. That's how we ended up with Discovery and Dave Filoni's take on Star Wars.

    I'd do a clearcoat to protect it; even after it's dried, paint can rub off after a while and you also don't want the paint to pick up dirt and grime.
  24. Graham
    My bet is the next Hi-Metal R announced will be the Brutishdog. However, I'd quite like either a Diving Beetle or Standing Turtle / Standing Tortoise. I'm currently rewatching the Kummen arc of the TV series. 😅 A Marshydog would also be OK. However, my number 1 most wanted AT is still the Burglarydog, closely followed by a ground type Fatty.
  25. pengbuzz
    Thanks! I wanted to develop a new adversary for my pet project, Star Trek: Alpha Centauri. It was getting to be a "one-villain show" if you know what I mean.
