Welp, so much for hunting down those old Wave vinyl kits last year. Now it's gonna come in much more pleasant to work with polystyrene https://twitter.com/MXF_official/status/1707561072566374903

HLJ's "Discontinued" label is notoriously unreliable and is basically never a reflection of what the actual manufacturer states. Hasegawa has shown that their "limited" kits will eventually come back. Speaking of which, something that got buried in all the Queadluun-Rau excitement is that Minmay Guard Battroid is getting a re-release in December http://www.hasegawa-model.co.jp/product/65768/

http://www.hasegawa-model.co.jp/m32b/ Japanese twitter was begging Hasegawa to include a bottom half for Milia but doesn't look like that's happening sadly.

With the All Japan Hobby Show coming up Hasegawa is announcing their November and December releases: AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

October announcements have no new Macross, but we do have some returning kits 1/48 VF-1J/A Vermillion Squad 1/48 VF-1A Angel Birds 1/72 VF-1J/A Gerwalk 1/72 VF-0S 1/72 VF-1S Strike Battroid

Battroid comes out March of 2024 for 3,800 yen and that's really not that bad of a price for it https://www.goodsmile.info/ja/product/14346/PLAMAX+1+72+VF+1J+バトロイドバルキリー+一条輝機.html https://twitter.com/MXF_official/status/1656494838421024769

Still no date or price

I don't think so, but Shizuoka Hobby show is only about a month away so....

The hands on the original kit are on the G runner with the gunpod. I don't really see them redoing the gunpod so chances are you'll get the old one and a new runner for the new ones.

Look at it this way: If Max and Milia are separate releases that means we get TWO new piece of Tenjin Hidetaka boxart Seriously looking forward to this art.

Shizuoka Hobby Show announcements for June and July. Hasegawa is updating the 1/72 Battroid kit with a Milia TV version which features a new waist, head adjustments and round TV hands. http://www.hasegawa-model.co.jp/product/65882/ Aside from that a whole bunch of stuff coming back

Hasegawa May announcements and there's nothing new Macross. But guess what's getting a re-release? Reactive Armor VF-0S Battroid: http://www.hasegawa-model.co.jp/product/21-2/ So if you recently got the VF-1 Armored Valkyrie but have been missing the chunky "predecessor" now's your chance! Also getting repops: 1/72 VF-0A/S with Ghost: http://www.hasegawa-model.co.jp/product/65777/ 1/72 VF-1J Max & Milia combo: http://www.hasegawa-model.co.jp/product/65763/ 1/72 YF-21: http://www.hasegawa-model.co.jp/product/11/

That's the plan

I wished for it and they made it happen. 1/20 Ingram from PLAMAX. Same as the "nose collection" so only partial but that's enough of a starting point.

Street date is January 28th https://bandai-hobby.net/item/5215/

No new Macross kits in March, but they are repopping some 1/48s 1/48 YF-19 http://www.hasegawa-model.co.jp/product/mc01/ 1/48 Super VF-1 Max/Milia colors http://www.hasegawa-model.co.jp/product/65827-3/ 1/48 VF-1 photoetch http://www.hasegawa-model.co.jp/product/65793/ But in non-Macross news, they're doing a 1/72, full action Xabungle which might be a good indication of how any future all new tooling battroids kits from them might work

I didn't see it until now but Luca's boxart is absolutely fantastic
