  1. Yeah, original series, DYRL and MD7 not available here in HK. All others available. I could have sworn we had MD7, but apparently not. Which is a shame, as I've just finshed rewatching M7 and wanted to rewatch MD7 nex
  2. Can confirm no English dubs available on the Macross releases on D+ in Hong Kong. Audio is only Japanese and for subtitles we have the choice of English, Traditional Chinese or Korean.
  3. Yes, Disney+ is available here in Hong Kong and we have all the Macross animes on Disney+, apart from the original series and DYRL.
  4. Me too.
  5. Decided to take my Macross Fighter Collection 1/250 scale fighters out of storage today and give then a clean and play with them for a while. Haven't touched them in 7 or 8 years. 😅 I no longer have the stands, I got rid of them to save space when I packed the toys away.
  6. So happy to hear that we're getting Macross II also. Hopefully we'll also get the Macross Plus arcade game later then also.
  7. Yay! Created a Japanese account, got the card from PlayAsia, bought the game and been happily playing it on my PS5 for the last hour.😊 All I can say is thank god for Google Translate! No idea how I used to do stuff like this back in the day. 😅
  8. I think I'm gonna buy the VF-31D Skuld next, as I really like the VF-1D inspired colour scheme.
  9. Can anybody confirm if the game will play on a PS5?
  10. A couple more quick pics.
  11. Finished building the VFG VF-31A fighter mode. Applied the stickers, a few decals, panel lined it and sprayed on some Mr. Hobby matt top coat. Haven't built the cat girl or the parts for Gerwalk mode or Battroid mode yet. Ignore the stand in the photos, just using it temporarily for the photos.😅
  12. I'll probably pass on the Arcadia VF-0A. Happy enough with my HMR VF-0A. At 1/60 scale the Arcadia takes up a lot of shelf space.
  13. I'm not really a model builder, but the sculpt and articulation of the Max & Kakizaki TV VF-1A actually look really good. I might have to pick one up, just to mess around with, especially as they look like they won't need much if any paint, just some panel lining to look good.
  14. This looks awesome. It think it's the first time in a great many years that I'm actually excited about a DC movie.
  15. Those are so cute. I've asked a friend who is currently visiting Japan to try and get me a set.
  16. Interesting.
  17. So, I just picked up the VFG VF-31A from one of the hobby shops near my office It's my Christmas present to myself and gonna be my Christmas holiday project build. I've never attempted one of these VFG kits before.
  18. Looking great in that video. I'd forgot how good the VF-25 looks with Tornado Packs.
  19. I will say my 2 x Revival VF-25S have nice tight hip and shoulder joints. Of course, I'm sure these will gradually loosen after time, especially with the extra weight of the attached armor. But out of the box, they are nice and tight.
  20. I'll check tonight when home.
  21. I'm not going to dismiss GQuuuuuuX out of hand. I'll at least give the GQuuuuuuX anime a try and watch the first few episodes (or the movie (?) they announced) and hopefully it will draw me in. But to be honest I'm not digging what I've seen so far of the mecha designs. Each to his own, but they don't appeal to my personal taste. So, as of now, I can't see myself buying any toys or models from this show, based on what's been presented so far. But saying that, despite not initially liking the mecha designs from The Witch from Mercury, I actually ended up liking the first cour of the series and buying some of the toys. However, I lost interest in the second cour of The Witch from Mercury. Not a fan of this recent anime trend of splitting anime into two cours with several months break in between, There been a few anime recently where I liked the first cour, but by the time the second cour was released, I'd moved on to something else and lost interest, either due to the long break between cours or just because I felt the second cour was subjectively worse. This happened to me with both The Witch from Mercury and Kyokai Senki. Anybody else have that issue with split cour anime?
  22. To this day, the Bandai 1/65 VF-17D/S toys, both original release and reissue are still among my favorite Macross toys.
  23. It's a fairy big box, but from the two I bought and carried home, the actual weight is definitely not that heavy as 2.6kg/5.73lbs. But you have to realise that many shipping companies/couriers, such as UPS, DHL, FedEx etc., calculate shipping charges based on volumetric weight of the shipping box, not on actual weight. Volumetric weight (depending on box size), will often be higher that actual physical real world weight.
  24. Just picked this up at lunch, as an impulse buy from the new hobby shop that just opened near my office, for HK$1,680 (approx US$216). Is it a reasonable price? 🤔
