    It seems HMR and the DX line are the only ones getting Macross PT toys released within these lines. So any release of a non-Macross toy within these lines is simply one less Macross release within that scheduled slot. Not sure why that is so hard to understand for some?

    Almost 2 years ago......no complaints from me though....we got a VF-4 and VF-1D coming....plus we got the VF-2SS, SuperO and Elint....I can wait some more I suppose, they'll all get released eventually...would have been quicker without the non-Macross HMRs though! One shrunk to 1/48... I wouldn't mind a 1/3000 TV SDF-1 though....but I'll take a 1/3000 DYRL TV from Bandai because I know it will put the Arcadia version to shame...both in detail, gimmicks, and price
  3. Yeah....more like USA size M

    Huh? No ever said there would be non-stop HMR Macross releases every month....never was that way even when the line was just pumping out Macross series toys....all I said was that in the absence of all the non-Macross toys....Macross toys would have taken those release dates....as @technoblue stated....we could have had 7 additional Macross HMR toys by now.....so we definitely would have had the 3 already teased...tomahawk, phalanx, and N-Ger....and who knows what other 4....most likely the remainder of vermillion, skull, or the q-rau....
  5. Don't forget South Atalla Islands!.....but seriously this type of "Engrish" is nothing new...it even shows up on the tampo printing of recently released toys, right?

    Laughable....the non-Macross HMR releases would have just simply been Macross releases
  7. Macross City...at the intersection of Kakizaki Way and Focker Ave
  8. Honestly, other than possible Macross the First character illustrations....it will probably not have much that hasn't appeared on previous Mikimoto collected works books or other publications....
  9. If you are a US L or smaller.....and you ordered one Japanese size larger....you should be good to go.
  10. At least we get 2 nice books in the same month.....but wouldn't be surprised if that Mikimoto book gets pushed out further yet again.... And probably the VF-11 book too!
  11. Guess we better cut back on the Macross-nald's and Humburger PoPo's!!!

    Until they sadly introduced other anime lines into it....then it became the 80's-ish anime toyline If that never happened, maybe we would have been talking about the VF-1A Alaska Base, Q-Rau and VEFR-1 by now.....

  14. Available sizes are my issue....Japanese sizes seem to run one size smaller than US sizes....bought a COSPA tshirt at XL and it was more of a L..... Seems like it would be easy to get one done at some tshirt store....not sure if they would be able to print on a similar jacket
  15. MF VF-11 pushed to 3/9/2019
  16. Cool....have a link?

  20. With Bandai HMR almost being done with the "Macross" portion of the line, I am not sure if this will cause any market share issues....If you haven't been collecting HMR, not sure if you would want to dive in now with the higher prices for the earlier stuff...if prices are a concern that is. If you just want Macross, I think the KC line is a very good option, especially if they come through with things like the destroids and enemy mechs as they claim to want to release at some point. And they did also tease that big "TV" SDF-1. I think they are able to tackle it and produce something good....hopefully they listen to their fans about the color and fact that it was essentially a Hasegawa type hybrid...that we need a 100% TV version. To be honest, I think the biggest danger to KC is the HG license and wether or not we get "Bandai'd" with a right-sizing of the DX.
  21. The earliy prototypes and demos for the KC 1/72 VF-1S had much more heavy-handed panel lines and thicker panel lines in general. I believe they actually delayed the release due to this problem. I think the final version's finish adds a look of "high-end" to the toy that appeal to me, as someone who does not have the time or skill to do this type of finish myself. I generally am not a fan of any panel-lining, but this toy has just enough for me to consider moderate. I think standing the KC next to your typical Yamato/Arcadia/Bandai makes them look too plain for me now. As for what I would choose if I did not have the means or desire to own both...I would go with the HMR.....at least until all the "initial release" quirks are ironed-out from the KC VF-1S. For me, the draw is for a complete line of "MACROSS" TV VF's, Destroids, and Enemy Mecha. However, I think the Monster may prove to be too much for this line, as it has been for every other Macross toy line until the HMR. Time will tell. For now, I am still all in on the KC 1/72 Macross line....could care less about the Mospeada or Southern Cross, which is also an area of concern if KC strays to far away from the Macross part of Robotech.

    The only "alien" mech toy ever made outside of SDFM or DYRL is the SV-262.....this would be an awesome release if Bandai continues on their Macross Plus run...DX or HMR would be ok with me...
