  1. Bub....Any recent pics of collectible treasures from your travels to Japan?
  2. LOL....I do happen to have multiple copies of books and other printed materials, but mostly due to forgetting I already had one copy in the collection..........but as for new release type books...just one will do for me....
  3. Yes, Star Wars was also the last thing I mainly collected before I got into Macross....
  4. But that's just continuing the "Robotech" conversation......just let "it" die
  5. Can we just convert the thread into a "favorite movie lines" thread?.....here's another one from Aliens....
  6. Macross collecting.... New Macross production is announced.... First images of mecha and characters are released....... Toys and merchandise hit the market..... Merchandising begins to fade and period to recoup before new series is announced.....(this wallet recharge period seems to now have gotten a lot shorter after Macross Delta....) Repeat.....

    Hi-Metal R

    You hate HM-R compared to how much I like them!
  8. Looks like it is from a doujin....at this moment I couldn't tell you which one....perhaps one of the Macross doujin collectors can help ID the specific one....
  9. At least there is no mandatory "one to read....one to keep mint and unread...and one just in case"...rule on Macross book collecting right?
  10. If I had something else to be delivered from HLJ in October I may have went that route....looking forward to it!
  11. Dunno....but have yet to regret any Macross book purchase.....just PO'd at Amazon.jp!
  12. Display Only..... Formerly "Display Only"....
  13. We already have a "DX" VF-1.....it's currently produced by Arcadia..... If you follow the history of Macross VF-1 toys....we are due for an all-new "DX" scaled VF-1.....we just do not know who will release it...so far the "evidence" indicates it may be Bandai.... The 1/35th VF-1 could be either a massive thank you to the fans for 35 years of supporting the franchise (or a middle finger depending on your point of view/finances)....or simply Bandai giving us a taste of what's to come in a "DX" scale.... Yamato used the knowledge gained in designing their 1/48 to release the 1/60.....Bandai could be doing the same with the 1/35 but instead will skip its release and go straight to the "DX" scale version...only time will tell...
  14. I'm thinking summer or late 2019 for the DYRL 1/35th Anniversary VF-1......which means no DX-scaled VF-1 until after 2019.....I'm guessing it will be a limited run, in terms of model types....VF-1J and VF-1S Roy or possibly the VF-1S Hikaru with SSP..... This means more HMR VF-1's to come so as not to cannibalize on other Bandai PT VF-1 scales... The HMR DYRL VF lineup will be close to completion by the time the SuperO is released (if you count the HM VF-1A's).....all they would need is a Max -1S (websclusive?).... The SDFM HMR lineup will need to catch up quickly...so Bandai has possibly until 2019/2020 to finish up.... Guessing we will see a VF-1D (VR?) and the rest of Vermillion Squadron...in-between the Tomahawk, Phalanx, Q-Rau, N-Ger and possibly a Scout Regult.....at this point I think we may not get the Alaska Base -1A, Cavaliers, or AngelBirds (hoping for websclusives)....instead they may finish off the HMR VF-1 lineup with the Macross Delta VF-1A Hayate and Mirage set.....
  15. Congrats! Where did you purchase from? I have one on PO with AmiAmi but they keep pushing back the release....I am tempted to cancel it if I can get it somewhere else...
  16. Will probably go with Amazon.jp.....shipping is fast and reasonable... https://www.amazon.co.jp/マクロス-ヴァリアブルファイター-デザイナーズノート-GA-Graphic/dp/4797393696
  17. Proxy service
  18. The release date appears to be sometime in December....between the 8th and 22nd.... http://www.shop.post.japanpost.jp/shop/g/gCS7970009011 I have some coming in so it should be a very Merry Macrossmas this year!
  19. If Bandai decides to expand the Macross segment of their HMR line into say a "VFs of Macross" line in the same scale (1/100-ish)...then they would, in theory, eventually get to the VF-31 and SV-262....but that may be some years from now.....several years.....it would make no sense for Bandai to cannibalize their Macross Delta DX line at this juncture with "HMR" type editions..... If you just want the Messer and Keith VFs from the Delta show, then find a good deal and just get the DX versions...... Welcome to MacrossWorld, you don't come here to get advice on saving money by being patient!!!

    Hi-Metal R

    I wish it could.....actually....that would be a great custom accessory.....extra pilots and a canopy modified to allow headroom for the pilots......
