Each time I see a new entry I'm hoping it's an update on the series...

This mad scramble to secure issues will be over soon as supposedly only 5 more issues left.
However I'm thinking the issues with the controller box might be in high demand as they might have a sound chip installed.

#105 was up but I certainly missed it

I wanna thank @sumyumgoy for telling us when issues are available.

Nine more issues to go, I need to step up my building, got lazy and stopped at six.

Wow, this person added fiber to all the anti aircraft guns:

Got it thanks dude!

The DX stands are made to hold up the weight of the fully decked out plane (unless there is a hidden manufacture defect on the stand itself).

Other option us to use fishing wire as backup and don't put it up too high. 

If your so paranoid about taking it out then leave it in the box and choke it death as there is no fresh air. 

I guess I'm more concerned that over time the plastic will bend or even worse fail.

The lock point at the base seams a little thin and I can already see a tiny lean to the right.

Love this thing otherwise though....

Do you guys trust these things in fighter mode with all the weapons/armor on the stands.
I keep looking at mine in the case and swear it's gonna take a nose dive some day.

I'm just as unsure of displaying on landing gear.

Hachette Issue #092 is up on HLJ.

https://www.hlj.com/space-battleship-yamato-2202-1-350-yamato-weekly-magazine-092-hsjwym092

 

Thanks again, I would have totally missed it.

Compilation movie or rerelease of blu-ray series?

Hmmm, issue 85 is still unavailable on Hachette's e-shop.
Mind you I don't check every day, but this issue should have been an easy one to produce, just injection plastic with inserted fiber and stickers.

Glad 85 came in @oshanmacross!  How long did it take HLJ to order the back issue?

Hachette issue #91 is up on HLJ

https://www.hlj.com/space-battleship-yamato-2202-1-350-yamato-weekly-magazine-091-hsjwym091

I ordered it same day it went on backorder so maybe a month total?

Why don’t you first put the arms in the correct position so they tab into the legs and tail fin section?

Good call, that helped them tab in with little effort.

Any advice on getting this tab to insert, don't wanna break this thing.

My backorder for #85 just fulfilled from Hobby link Japan

Here is hachette's mail order page for the issues, might be of some help. Getting nervous about issue 85

Thanks much

I'm still waiting on backorders for 084, 085  

But everything else is secure.

I wond3r if scalpers are buying up later issues knowing that the demand is very high for them.

Maybe?
But from what I see issues 1-5 available
Issues 5-10 Hard to find......

Can't give a build diary but got the parts secured

The seller i use has canceled/ refunded several of my orders recently. If they were  posted at the same time/ date every week like a macross preorder id be good, but its way more random than that. As it is I'm reliant on hlj backorder for issue 85.

Damn, I think our/my assumptions are right
Hatchette might be running out of resources to produce.

Side question if I may

How do you tag a user in a thread here on Macross World?

  I've been tag teaming with a friend to keep up with the issues so I can spam the thread with each new release as they come.

 

If you are willing to post the links here that would be swell
