Oh yeah. I'd prolly buy a whole crew of Destroids, too. Always wanted a full squad. The Tomahawk is my favorite, I think. If Hi Metal R really takes off, I hope Bandai will give us a TV SDF-1. That'd be icing on an already amazing cake.
-
Wholeheartedly agreed.
-
We would need Bandai to commit to making DX chogokin VF-1 Valkyries before they'd start thinking about Glaugs and Regults. So far the only DX VF-1 on the table is the monstrous 1/35 scale. I'd like to see a slightly smaller scale, personally.
-
It looked to me like they're planning to do pretty much everything that a Macross fan could want. Okay, maybe not everything but a lot. My list: Focker TV VF-1S Hikaru TV VF-1J Hikaru VF-1D Max TV VF-1A Max VF-1J Millia VF-1J Millia Queadlunn Rau Kakizaki TV VF-1A Glaug Regult x 2 VF-2SS w/SAP Here's hoping.

I'm going all in with Hi Metal R because of the lineup and pricing. Finally I'll have a shot at getting most of the pieces I've always wanted. Pricing is decent and with these it looks like they'll stand up to handling better than my more expensive ones that are more or less display pieces. Availability remains to be seen. I hope it won't be too hard to get these.
-
Looks like Bandai is out for blood.
-
This line seems to be much more affordable so I'd like to see it continue. I'd love to be able to get all of the TV Valks eventually. Destroids would be great, too.

The Unlicensed Third Party Transformers Thread

Wow, that actually looks really nice. He does need his red shoulders, though. -
All this news of stressed plastic and breakage is making me consider buying another VF-25S while they're still available.
-
Funny how we went from not being able to find a single one of these things (for a reasonable price), not even being able to place a friggin' preorder (sold out instantly) to "Anyone still want one?" Good times.
-
Wow, that's a great shot. The Renewal really does kick the old one in all kinds of uncomfortable places.

Still waiting on my 'Bee from Nippon-Yasan. Anyone get their shipping notice yet? -
I feel your pain. Same happened to me.
-
All this talk about Play-Asia not coming through is starting to bother me. My order has been listed as "Preparing Order" and the item itself "Pending" for a few days now. I've contacted them and my credit card company. This had better not turn into a crapfest.
-
I haven't opened my Ozma yet, either. I'm just lazy. Still waiting on a tracking number from Play-Asia for the other one.
-
Yeah. Thanks so much for that; it helps me out a lot. I find it funny how Play-Asia has allowed some people to cancel their orders for this yet they wouldn't allow me to cancel mine. It's not like it's gonna be hard to sell off the cancelled units. Sheesh.
-
If anyone wants an Ozma Renewal, let me know. I have an extra one coming because I forgot to cancel one preorder.
-
I'd like it if the VF-1S head design was tweaked a little more and the insignia on the heatshield was lowered a bit. Otherwise these look great. I'm just hoping they're not comparable to the Yamato 1/60s, pricewise.
-
I have attempted this. Hopefully it works. Thank you.
-
Me too. Can't wait for it to get here!

Just got Kotobukiya's Bishoujo Starfire (Shunya Yamashita) from AmiAmi. She's probably my favorite out of all the Bishoujo figures I've got. Wonder Woman V1 is a close second. 1. Starfire 2. Wonder Woman V1 3. Christie Monteiro (Tekken) 4. Psylocke (X-Force) 5. Huntress 6. Rogue 7. Psylocke V1 (X-Men, first release) 8. Emma Frost 9. Mystique Kinda sucks that the Marvel ones changed scale right in the middle somewhere. At least they got bigger instead of smaller though. Also received Tsume Art's Ultra Street Fighter IV Chun Li a couple of weeks ago, from BigBadToyStore. Really dynamic and I love the blue whirlwind and stone-tiled base. The blue whirlwind is a fantastic contrast to Starfire's blazing orange hair whipping around her body, when you have the two figures side by side. I have to say, Tsume's Chun Li is the best that the character has ever looked in figure form. Outstanding!

I think 'Bee looks great. I wish they'd just sold him on his own at a lower price, but it's not a dealbreaker for me. I ended up paying about $55 shipped. I can't wait to have him on my shelf alongside his Autobot brethren. It's been a long time coming. -
Just ordered from Play-Asia. Wow, I haven't used my account there in ten years. So I guess I'll just let my preorder at Nippon-Yasan slip; $215 N-Y vs. $183 P-A. Is there any penalty at Nippon-Yasan for cancellations/non-payment of preorders? I have Masterpiece Bumblebee preordered with Nippon-Yasan and I'd hate to lose it due to backing out of another preorder.
-
Jumped on the Nippon-Yasan boat for the VF-25S Ozma Renewal. Yeah, I saw the slightly inflated price but I figured it's better than what it's been going for the last two years since the initial run. Plus I have no idea if other sites are going to be opening up more preorders or offering Ozma at all. AmiAmi flat out told me they were done. Does anyone have experience with Nippon-Yasan? How are they compared to the usual outlets like AmiAmi, HLJ, Hobby Search, CDJapan, etc? Should I be worried?
