I really don't mind the high skull, and yes it's tampo and not a sticker, I don't rage over the small things and I'm done with yamato forever. I personally love these hi-metals, I probably won't get the DRYL valks but if they do well I will be buying the eventual TV releases.

I was truly on the verge of getting on of these because I really would like to add a monster to my collection, but I really don't like any mac frontier stuff, I'd rather hold out for an original macross monster, oh and I just ordered a full hcm gundam 00 line lol.

Having kids and these expensive toys seems quite dangerous I really don't know how you people do it.

Wow really? I love Macross but they're just toys, I'm down to 5 valks now and I'm selling two on ebay as we speak because I'm broadening my collection to more than just the same valkyrie over and over in different sizes and colors. That said I HAD finished the Mac Zero line until now, I'm selling my Nora and CF SV-51's and keeping Ivanov, aka my favorite valk ever! I know the Mac+ line is small but I hate pretty much all of their designs except for the 11B, the 11C just isn't attractive to me, and the pilot looks really dumb.

Mine should be here by Tuesday, I gotta say I think I'm selling my 1/60 TV Roy and my 1/60 1D trainer. I like these things a LOT more, I have no use for 2 yammie 1/60's.

Are you implying because I don't like this I have bad taste? A bit ignorant me thinks, unless you're joking, I can never really tell on this site, many people nerd rage over the stupidest stuff.

Some people on this site would I'm sure, I might be in for a 1/60 VF-19S Blazer though....

I think the little perks on this thing are shaping up nicely, but three words for it, ugly, ugly, ugly. I still can't get past that Ronald Mcdonald/Megazord face, and the red scheme is tacky to say the best.

SWEEET

Anyone know an official release date other than just a vague November?

Hell yes I can't wait, one more month, but now I need some stand alone fast packs to get released so Hikaru's 1J isn't naked any more, oh and a TV Kakizaki and Max 1A please!!

It looks nice, but I really prefer the original monster not the frontier version, I don't like the transformable monsters look.

Sounds like the 1/144 MIGHT be okay, I'll have to read the descriptions closely, thanks for the heads up.

I just saw some fairly cheap exo-squad robotech destroids on ebay, what scale are they I can't find any info on them, with a good repaint and some weathering these guys might work if they're the right size.

That's fine, I'm not one to nerd rage over a figure being one or two centimeters too tall or too short.

Hm conversion kits? Do you mean you swap parts on them to make other destroid models, like you swap and you can have a defender, or a tomahawk? Any pics, if they're roughly 1/100 I'd like to get a few. Oh and the bandai models how are they, I looked up the arii models, but I've heard bad things about them.

So basically I've drawn and photoshopped together a really nice city battle backdrop, then built by hand and painted some wrecked buildings out of posterboard, and created a city scene for my 1/100 battlepods and my to be collection of hi-metal VF-1's. What I'm wondering is are there any good 1/100 or roughly 1/100 scale destroid figures or models out there? I've got a good hand full of battlepods and only 1 valk so far, but the glaug is on the way and my roy comes out in November, but I need some cannon fodder destroids, help please!

Hm a hi-metal YF-19 that would be as good a quality as my iJ does sound quite awesome.

Hm, maybe it was just me, but the figures I had I used to create scenarios I already knew, but I just wanted to recreate in any way I could, I didn't have starship troopers figs but I had big bugs and Gi Joes. So I guess some imagination, and at the same time no imagination, just pretend play. On another note, anyone have any details or releases for the hi-metal DRYL valks?

I just sold a good majority on craigslist, I now have an 0S, SV-51, and a 1/48 1J, 1A, and 1S. I sold all my figures that are repaints of the same model and kept my favorite color schemes for one of each, oh and the hi-metal 1J I guess, I plan on expanding my collection with more than just repaints of the same macross figures.

But a toy is just a replica of something from a previously created show or form of media, no real imagination there just playing with a figure. Games these days have options, RPG's are much more imaginative then an action figure or huge over-priced toy, I'm in the game industry, I just couldn't stand by.

You mean after the DRYL valks get released? I'm hoping to see 1D, Max TV 1A, Kakizaki TV 1A, a little full vermillion action with my toynami battlepods and upcoming glaug, hell yes.

The hi-metal comes with 2 sets of wings, one completely flat for battroid, and one set comes with hardpoint holes for the missiles. I don't really believe anyone would be picky enough to make the second set of non-missile attachable wings necessary, but, oh wait......

The transformable reviews, I was suckered into a Roy, damnit!!

I just got my friend's SV-51 Ivanov in, it seems fine, granted I'm not transforming his figure. Everything is tight, I unplugged the thighs and they're nice and tight, no wing sag but I didn't put on the boosters, it's still up for grabs on this guy, I'd say go for it if you want one because the price is only going up and they are getting harder to find, and it's pretty obvious they're not re-releasing this guy.
