    The guys above pretty much covered it. My son’s a tween, for the record, so not a little kid any more but not sure he’s ready for one of the darker, heavier chapters of Macross, especially when he hasn’t even seen the original yet. He’s also not real fond of reading subs.

    Maybe we'll get lucky and have Frontier and Delta dubs. My kid is 20 now, about 10 when we discovered Frontier as a whole and we expanded together from there.

    Yeah, that rapey domestic violence subplot is not something I want to try to decode for my kids.

    And don't forget the lyrics to Idol Talk when Yang hacks Sharon during the concert on Eden.

     Correct. And it's a great work by Wantanbe, but a strong work.

    16/17+, Not younger. I saw it in 1995 on VHS; I was 17.

    Other than the one shot, what is not kid friendly in your opinion?

    The wire bondage scene. Sharon is nude practically in certain scenes and is suggestive. Isamu and Guld's fist fights. Guld and Myune's scene fight scene with the mirror. The little guy almost shooting Isamu in the head. Isamu with the blonde on their date.

    I'm on 9. I agree it's getting better. 

    Vicious still sucks though. Super hard. The Kylo Ren description of him above is spot on.

    I wonder if their interpretation of his bravado in the anime was posturing and compensation. After all he wouldn't go up against Spike or Gren solo. Maybe they saw him as they portray him the show as a weakling.

    Do not fall into the trap of "GOTTA HAVE IT NOW".   I made sooooo many poor purchases that I regret in my first 6 months collecting.  Be patient, it will come up for sale somewhere and at a reasonable rate.

    Definitely! Thank you. I had them before for a tiny bit; now with Fuke coming out- sellers regret, but I'm optimistic reissues are abound.

    That's a challenging fix. If you had the dexterity, a small enough drill bit and same diameter brass/steel rod, you could reinforce the snapped ball-joint, but it would still be very fragile. Ideally, I would push-out the rivet that's still on the fairing, have someone 3D print the broken part in a tougher material and use that as a replacement. At the core, this is a materials problem that Sentinel needs to address, because as you can see from the pressed rivets, the toys aren't made to be disasembled and if someone doesn't have the skills to perform that kind of repair, it will only make the problem worse.

    Cool, thanks @captain america. So what if I heated a modded safety pin  Through both ends of the broken pieces let it dry and do it that way? 

     This is not my toy, btw; this is a piece I'm thinking about buying. I'm either gonna buy it or I'm gonna wait to see if there's gonna be another reissue. I appreciate your insights though.

    The mudguard might just be a matter of snapping it back into place.  Have to see the condition of the portions that connect to the wheel base.

    The grey joint that sheared off, you’ll probably have to ask one of our modeling experts here to give you the best advice on what to use.  Not sure superglue would be able to hold up to all the stress that part must go through.

    The blue headlight/shoulder armor I believe just needs to be popped back onto that grey part’s ball joint (the small broken bit in your pic).

    @Mog, TY!

    Hey all. How easy of a fix are these breaks, or should I wait for a reissue?Screenshot_20211113-151336_OfferUp.jpg.66b3aee1aaa94b6dc881c9bb7399fd20.jpg

    @captain america, hi can you make a fix recommendation please?
