Wait, you want tires on your DX VF-1???? That'll be a web exclusive for 10,000Yen 🤣

At this point with the DX VF-1 series, I'm surprised that Bandai doesn't sell us the FAST packs piece by piece or the missiles, missile-by-missile as Tamashi exclusives, LOL😅

Peasants......Just count yourselves lucky that we actually get a pilot figure with the Valk, not as a paid web-exclusive, limited edition extra! Hahaha

I really shouldn't be giving them ideas.😂

Living in Hong Kong, I'm kinda worried about the "excluding China" comment.....sigh.

Any VF-5000 toy is welcome, but I'd personally prefer a VF-5000B, rather than a VF-5000G.

I gather you mean the YF-19, which wouldn't make sense as it was still a prototype? 

Yes, and edited my original post.

TH VF-1S has more HP than the YF-19 and a better rolling stat......hmmm?

Delta also had the downside that 9  in a row (after episode 13) had no mecha or almost no mecha scenes.

I love Frontier, it's my second favorite Macross TV series after 7.

I used to love playing Philosoma on the PS1 back in the day.

So it's good news for me if this game plays like Philosoma.

I think it will be interesting to see how Sunrise handle a Macross show.

As long as it is better than Delta, I'll be happy. But that is a pretty low bar, so it shouldn't be difficult.

Hopefully there is a decent budget allocated to it and we get some good animation quality and and a fair amount of mecha action.

I'm fine with Macross animes always being based on the standard 3 pillars of music, mecha and a love triangle, but at least give me 5 minutes of mecha action per 20 + minute episode.

The thing I hated most about Delta is that after Messer died in episode 13, we had no mecha action at all until episode 24 IIRC. I remember week after week hoping for some mecha action, but there was nothing.  Heck I'll even settle for just 2 minutes of mecha per episode as long as it's well animated.

My guess is that Sunrise will go somewhere back in the timeline, rather than do a post-Delta show. 

Hard pass, not digging the sculpt.

Given that I missed out on the original Bandai DX YF-19 release (although I have the VF-19 Advance), I'm looking forward to this new reissue of the YF-19, even if it is missing most of the accessory parts.

But I really hope that Bandai have tightened up the wing joints, or got rid of the high-speed mode. As I hated the loose wings caused by the high-speed mode mid-wing hinge joint.

After 6 years away from Macross (for various reasons), I'm just stating to get back in and collect some of the toys I missed during my hiatus.

I picked up the VF-31AX Kairos Plus last week and I have to say I'm pretty happy with it.

I haven't transformed it yet, it's staying in Fighter mode so far, but looks great in my opinion. My only complaint so far is the gap behind the cockpit, which can be massaged away to a certain extent, but tends to open up again once you actually pick up and handle the toy.

I love that it is a more heavily armed, combat-oriented version of the VF-31 with micro-missiles instead of drones in the leg bays and larger arm-mounted rail guns and a beam gun mission pack instead of the drone charger.

I wish Big West would offer the option to purchase high-resolution digital downloads with English subtitles of all the various Macross animes, internationally

To be honest, given the limited storage space I have and also the fact that from my experience in the country I live, DVDs and Blu-Ray discs tend to either scratch and become unreadable or deteriorate due to the heat and humidity here within a decade of purchasing and become unreadable.

These days I far prefer buying digital downloads, rather than expensive and relatively fragile physical discs, with their limited lifespan.

Hopefully, we'll get a release date soon and information on whether this will be released internationally, outside of Japan.

Hopefully, there will be a digital download version to buy, available outside of the US. I haven't bought a Blu-ray in years and really don't want to buy physical media anymore.

Annoys the f*ck out of me that Amazon US/UK will sell and ship me any Blu-ray/DVD/CD disk I want, but try to get the same movie/TV series/album as a digital download and it's "Oh no we don't sell to your country".

Sweet news. I'm going to cross my fingers that there are fewer hiccups this time.

I haven't been checking Hasbro Pulse every day this entire month to see when this gets released :

 

Extremely disappointed these are not 6" Black Series figures.

My son and I gave up collecting 3.75" figures about 7 years ago. 

Now we only collect Black Series 6" Clone Troopers, Stormtroopers and Mandalorian figures.

Cuz of the helmet, a stunt guy could play the Mando through the whole show.

A read that a lot of the time this is actually the case and Pedro Pascal is not actually in the suit that much and mostly just does the voice work.

Dunno how true that is though.

May have to buy that I do like the Destiny design.

What's that Stormbringer from? I'm presuming a manga or game.

I thought there was already a Metal Robot Spirits Freedom??????

Or maybe that was a Strike Freedom.....not really a fan of the design so never paid much attention, but pretty sure saw a Metal Robot Spirits toy shelf warming in a nearby toy shop.

Definitely not based on an M41A Pulse Rifle.

The pulse rifle props still circulate in hollywood. Last I saw them they were being used as tasers in Godzilla King Of Monsters with the grenade launcher removed.

That looks nothing like an M41A Pulse Rifle
