  1. I'm giving Hobbyfan until 6/14 to send a notification or update... if nothing shows up from them, I'll go with my NY order. I find it hard to believe that retailers have no idea how many units of something they're going to get?
  2. Anyone receive a notice from Hobbyfan yet? I got my NY notice, but if Hobbyfan comes through, it'd save me a good chunk of change going with that pre-order instead of NY. ... something tells me HF won't be able to come through though.
  3. Yeah, that was me... I always had it in the back of my head that if I needed to sell any of my VF-1's off, the Max VF-1J would go first, but I'd keep the super parts and slap them on my Virgin Road. Personally, I don't feel I like I lost anything out of my collection after the sale.
  4. Depends on what your goal is... if you like to handle and pose your toys like I do, I wouldn't recommend it compared to a 1/60 V2. If you're more of a "curator" type who sticks them in a display and is done with it, the 1/48's display really well. I picked up the 1/48 Stealth VF-1J because I love the color scheme, but the overall unwieldiness of the toy with the super/strike parts on it just blows. But, like I said, boils down to what folks like to do with their stuff.
  5. Funny... on one hand we have the pre-order that never opens (HLJ), and in the other we have the one that never closes (Hobbyfan), with both hands likely to end up slapping Macross fans in the face either way. lol
  6. I own one 1/48 valk, and while it's cool and all, it is just way too frustrating to handle. Got to the point where I ended up using quake putty to actually firm it up enough so that stuff wasn't always flying off or flopping around whenever I picked it up. Was that typical of 1/48's in general? Or did some valks fare better than others in that scale? Oh, and fk missiles on the 1/48's too. So so frustrating. lol...
  7. Haha... the DYRL SDF-1 never made it onto my list of Yamato "to do's". Cost and lack of space made it one of the easier ships to pass on for me.
  8. Well... it'll suck if they drop the Macross license, but my Yamato hunt ended with the Cavalier, so I'm good. GG's Yamato...
  9. It's actually just a matter of changing interests... I've just gotten way more into action figure collecting since Hasbro and Diamond Select have been stepping up their game the last few years. Valks will always be "nice" to own for me, but they aren't as "fun" to own for me due to their price point and difficulty to acquire. I'm having way more fun chopping up and modding $10-20 dollar figs than I do chasing down $200-400 valks that I handle maybe twice a month and am too afraid of scratching paint or loosening joints to fully enjoy. I had set goals going into Macross, and after the RVF, they'll be met.
  10. I was planning to make additional effects for it, but my attention has shifted primarily to customizing action figures nowadays. After the RVF-25 arrives, I'm out of the Macross collecting game for good... thank god. lol
  11. Depending on the type of cabinet you're using, it usually helps to ditch the stock display stand if you're cramped for space (especially if you have detolfs). I was able to maximize space on my Mac F shelf by making a fighter mode storage rack... I can actually fit 4 VF-25's on it including the Armored VF-25S in fighter mode (on the bottom of course due to its weight). The RVF-25 has a reserved space waiting on the rack right now.
  12. Yamatos, battroid. Bandai Mac F's.... fighter, if only because battroid and gerwalk take up so much damn room in my display, especially with any kind of armor parts on them.
