    In general I can see some more firepower from Earth's neck of the woods, considering both of their Macross 13 units and the Battle Astraea, they most likely have their own fleet of Macross-class ships, which as 7 and Frontier show, is strong enough to send away branch fleets or similar sized attacks as debated here. (Sorry for double posting, forgot this bit and I couldn't edit this reply in the first message!)

    It's certainly a lot more off a bombastic reason to have 4th Gen Valkyries be developed, isn't it? That feels like an event that if it happened in official material, it'd probably hang over the heads across the galaxy. Arguably more so then the time it happened on Earth, since there's millions of humans all over the galaxy to witness and know of it. Which is funny to me because that's easily the biggest number given to a fleet by far. The Macross 7 fleet had 185 ships plus its liaison and civilian ships, and then there's the Master File's notion that the Frontier fleet had 600. The only Navies in our world that exceeds that size is Russia's and China's, with none of the population numbers they have. Makes me think that UN ships are made to be a lot more autonomous then conventional craft, and that's without factoring the widescale adoption of drones. Going through the VF-19 book again, it goes into detail about its Air Carrier Wings, in the next pages no less. Specifically the "Earth Mobile Fleet Squadron," which seems to be structured a lot like ours. It sounds a bit obvious, but it states each CVW has a base on the ground (some on stations on orbital satellites,) where they conduct the usual training and maintenance. This kind of arrangement seems plausible with the Uraga, less so with the space only Guantanamo. Although it seems their capacity are a bit more inflated, with the former being able to hold up to 105-120 aircraft carriers. Them being said to accompany immigrant fleets make sense, considering notable pilots like Timoshee was a captain of escort units of the Macross 3 and the fleet that made it to Eden, and Gilliam and Wilbur being enlisted to one for thhe 28th Ultra Long Range Emigrant Fleet. But it's also said by 2050 there's 140 of the Air Wings; 68 on Earth, 40 on the Moon, and 30 on Mars. Again...That seems pretty miniscule, especially compared to the 2550 ships Earth's defense. Though being a mobile fleet squadron, they probably do have more autonomy compared to the aforementioned. It does make me wonder how many ships from said fleets return to Earth and how many stay with the fleet when they settle somewhere. It does seem like a factor to the decentralization of the UN, with some being way too far to return back to Earth, and Gilliam mentioning that independent governments aren't given enough intel from the central UN and are forced to borrow troops from them, if not just applying military pressure against frontier planets with their own governments.

    I had the same confusion when I saw it the first time. And from that moment on my little kid brain saw Omega Supreme as nonsensical. [I still wanted the toy desperately, mind you!]

    Obviously the base is flying behind him just offscreen, like Optimus Prime's trailer.

    Same. I’ve owned G1 Skywarp before (my first Seeker), but all of the others are new to me. I’m certain the combiners will disappoint, but it’ll be a fresh, novel disappointment. 🙂

    Hot Rod is the only one I really want. It's showing limited stock not available for pickup at my store, and out of stock at other stores in the area. I'll swing by on my way to game night with my friends, if not I'll try and order online.

    I don’t know where to put him now.

    Thanks! I came up with a VF-1 Wolfpack scheme for the YF-19 that I want to build at some point as well. I like putting my own stamp on things.

    It's quite the surprise that Bandai made changes to the plastic to make it more opaque, but this can only be a good thing.

    Some of these I wanted so badly many moons ago! Especially the combiners..

    Is there a reason why images can be uploaded in forum posts but not DMs?

    Dunk & Egg isn't a serious drama. If you're expecting it to be like GoT and HotD, this might not be for you.

    Two years of Hi-Metal R! Not bad! let's see how this stacks up after 5 years ?... 🤗 Also there a slight colour difference between the (RSC) and the new, regular Scopedog! The one on left is slightly darker! Like the (STTC) And also a nice comparison shot VS the 1/24 wave Kit! which is very comparable too the HMR in detail! Pictures are from amble.jp posted by TAKI-chan.

    My workbench aka „the carpet in the living room“. Got an AMEWI tugboat for cheap. Build it with my kid and went to the nearby (still partly frozen pond) to give it a dip. Done after ~ 5min. Rather quick in the water. My kid also saw my new Plamax VF-1D. He demanded me to build it like the other two bare builds. So we explored the box. The box is rather full. Hasegawa would have used a 2x size box for this 🤣 I squeezed it into the „Todo“ stash after the F-14D.

    Oh absolutely, I wasn’t implying a robust delaying force wouldn’t be critical.

    I second your thoughts on the plastic quality. The new combo is brighter opaque white with little yellow while the first release is yellowish, translucent white. I took the old one out for a direct comparison side by side and I’d have to vouch for the new version.👍
