That "new" info is on the previous page of this thread :P

Oh god, is it finally happening!? I need to lube up my wallet....

Remember they did announce the vanilla Valk development first. Gerwalk didn't show up until over a year later. Parts breakdown on runners accounted for different modes from the very start and at this point the Valk should be ready to go whenever their contract factory has the capacity as all the design work seems finished.

Best Girl release date has been set for March
 

I have a suspicion that due to the massive size of the molds needed Max Factory couldn't use their previous maker in China and instead had to go to someone with much larger injection machine. Larger injection machines are usually used for stuff like appliance cases and dashboards, where it's one large part with no spues/runners left attached to it once the product leaves the factory. While those guys have the necessary machines, maybe asking them to do model kit molds with lots of interconnected parts wasn't the best idea.

So while we're getting delayed again, could they at least post the manual online so that we can plan our builds better?

I ended up going back and looking through all the available pics of the runners so far. They've actually shown runners for pretty much everything by now except the arms and hands. Unless I missed those. Would very much appreciate if someone posted pics of those runners.

Another interesting thing I found is a pretty massive mold redesign for the wing runner over the years of development

Just sitting and waiting for that shipping email....
 

toco toco channel put up a video profiling Max Watanabe and in it we get a brief glimpse of the landing gear bays of the vanilla VF-1

The blog shows CAD of a VF-1A battroid....hmm. 

Which blog?

Link?

The VFG future seems bright

The standalone Hikaru figure looks pretty amazing judging by these test shots
 

Huzzah, the Reactive Armor VF-0S is coming back! Also Minmey Guard

According to the All Japan Hobby Show pre-announcement, the twins are getting their Draken, plus the Lil Draken

Should be pretty easy, considering that "digital recasting" is already a problem these days. If the pirates have no problem doing it then should be much easier for the actual creators.

Gerwalk is due to come out at the end of the month.

Still no date or price on fighter kit.

Newest VFG is VF-31A Kairos, and she's a catgirl

Aoshima is teasing their WF showcase on the blog, and one of the pics is a VFG with bigger boobs

New hair runners

That would probably be better up Wave's alley. If Hasegawa has limited time to spend on Macross then I'd prefer they spend it on what they do best, which is the fighters.

I think we just got a 1/20 scale preview of how big the box will be at the latest Macross Modelers stream

You can finish your EVA 01 while we wait... ;P

Wait, which one? I have like 4 of them in progress....

Still waiting for a Hasegawa VF-27....

So it costs 800 yen more than a regular VF-31 because of the mobile game AR crossover?
