    I'd rather have a SDFM TV remake....

    I know Kawamori wouldn't do any follow-on to the original series because the voice actor for Hikaru (who was his friend) passed away. But I could see, and would love, for them to just redo the animation and keep the original voice audio.

    HLJ charged me $69 bucks to So Cal....2x Queads and 1x Max with the shipping discount.
    Geez rates seem high again

    That's about twice what I paid, but you got three kits delivered, to my one, so I think you are ahead.:p

    And mine showed up. Damn big box, which doesn't make it easy on shipping either.

    Lol. It's interesting to note that one of the longest Macross relationships was intertwined with having babies and having fights . :p

     

    :rolleyes:Heh. I decided to go with the slow boat option, even with the 25 percent off at hlj. I've waited years for a Hasegawa 1/72 Q-Rau. What's 2-3 more months..:lol:

    I almost did to, as I have no plans of building it yet, but the difference was only about 5 or so bucks, so...

    I'd actually be curious to measure that compared to the original Episode I kit I have, because that looks much closer to 1/48.  The pilots obviously are those little figures, which are probably a weird scale, but it's a really tiny ship.  The original kit was an incredibly disappointing size, and the price was astronomical for the time.

    Forgive the blurriness of the image. I do have an unbuilt AMT kit, so I unboxed it for a comparison shot. So, maybe a little larger than 1/72...

  5. She's almost there @SpacePirateNeko! A little tape and a little paint and all done.:good:

     

    And though this is not a model, I bought the Star Wars Micro Galaxy N-1. Eight inches long from the muzzles to the tip of the tail, it looks to be almost right on 1/72 and has some really nice detail. It includes Djin and Grogu, though Grogu is not removable, set in his high chair under the dome. Djin has a removable jet pack and can be sat in the cockpit. The only draw back is that, since it is a toy, there are screw holes on the bottom as well as trademark info stamped into the plastic. It does have gear too, though they almost disappear when retracted.

    Though it is a toy, I see it as a nice alternative to the new Revell 1/24, with the added bonus that it can sit comfortably beside the 1/72 Bandai range.
