    Hi-Metal R

    Finally arrived. Mine is missing two spare cannons but I love it! Here he is with my yellowed 1J and toynami's tactical battlepod.

    would Noa Izumi from the 1/24 Yamato Ingram 1 fit in the Regult cockpit?

    My original HM 1J has yellowed. It sits on a shelf in my office which gets indirect sunlight.

    got my second regult from CDJ! Thanks!! And it is still available after 12+ hours?? wonder what happened.
  5. Mikumo = Sivil + Basara offspring ??!?? By the way, I haven't heard the podcast and have missed it elsewhere in the thread, who is the music director?
  6. the only thing that I really hated was the one scene when the valks were dancing. I also didn't like the Walkure, the way they fight seems too unrealistic (head on with fully loaded regult and no harm done? come on). They do too much "fighting" in my opinion. Leave the fighting to the valks and just sing! The songs were great. Love the destroids and regults, The setting was good. The two main characters seem interesting so far. the enemy mechs rock.
  7. let's face it, the armor is released in 2017 so that it'll get to spend a good year in our display cases "naked" before being entirely covered in armor permanently.
  8. He's the Kakizaki in Delta! Let's see if and how he dies in battle.....

    the only reason i got the Roy was so that these enemy mechas have someone to shoot at. Anybody finshed the Macross Factory kit (1/100 scale from Bandai)? Wonder how they look with Hi-Metals. I got the kit but haven't had time to build and won't have time to build for a loooong time.
  10. if you go through the sales page you'll find it still discounted. http://www.hlj.com/scripts/hljlist?SaleGroup=SALE1512SCI&DisplayMode=images&Dis=2&Sort=std&qid=CGXBK0ICJEMLMEQ&set=1&Price2=30000|39999

    they should always make things available through Tamashii (like the exclusives) that are built to order. That way when the online retailers run out of stock ppl are still able to get them at slightly above MSRPs instead of letting scalpers benefit. I really want to get into this line but my lifestyle does not allow me to sit in front of computer and hit F5 in the middle of the night.
  13. man orguss looks good..... hope there is a re-issue followed by massive discount. one can wish.
  14. is that the megahouse orguss, didn't know its about the same height as 1/60 VF-1. I always thought it's smaller.
  15. Thanks for the update Yeti. This had led me looking into glowforge, and it is very impressive in its ability! The price is not bad either considering what it is. I was looking into its FAQ and it does say orders will ship in first half of 2016 and into 3Q 2016.
  16. i think i'm finally ready to get one of these stands, but they appear out of stock on your website. Will they become available again in the near future?
  17. anybody grabbed a VF-0A during this sales? Seems like a pretty good deal and lowest I've seen.
  18. Not sure why HLJ would ever repeat the discount off preorder sale again. It only happened the one year but the expectation since last year should have been it would never happen again.
  19. does the poll require you to own both 0D and 0A to vote? I only own a 0D with no issue but was not able to cast vote. Just wondering if it's because I didn't answer all question. I didn't answer all question because there was not option for 0 when asked about how many 0As I own.
  20. Wow bought no question asked. Was gonna buy it before I knew it'd transform and now a even bigger no brainier.
  21. Thank you EXO. It sounds like a lot of people are not happy with the price for what they get with the ET VF-2SS. Regarding Evolution Toys (ET), their product has always been priced very high. However, they almost exclusively produce obscure figures/characters that has either NEVER been done or hasn't been done in a long time. Their target audience is therefore fans who will pay to get the obscure characters/figures that they have always wanted. However, I don't believe they have much (if any) experience with perfect transformation toys, as many of their products are parts forming. The sculpt of some of their products have been spot on, while slightly off on others. I own their Albegas (Voltron III for those who don't know) figure. It's high priced and all plastic save the magnets, but it's the only modern Albegas out there. My point is, the reason ET's products are high priced is because they are always niche products with likely low production numbers. That has always been the case with this company. There is a price to pay for a niche product. We like to compare Bandai and Arcadia on their price vs. what you get. It's the similar comparison with ET but perhaps a little more extreme version of it. At the end of the day, one more company is doing Macross, and one more entirely new bird, with possibility of a SAP coming down the line. It's a good time to be a Macross fan.
