I've seen these go well with 1/60 Valkyries.

Seems like it will! Was planning to stick the extra isamu figure in there, but havent had the chance to. Thanks for the heads up

It fits Yang figure from Arcadia's 19

Me. I'm actually waiting for all the Destroids stocks to run out so I can regret later so I can punish myself.  I really wanted to have these Destroids since I didn't have any before. But I just don't want to start a whole new line. 

Oh come on ... there is no "harm" dedicating one shelf in the display cabinet for the HMR releases ... all it takes is just. one. baby. step and....

Cool stands.  Those tubes would be useful especially for Battroid poses.  I wish HMR came with more tubes.

I didn't get to paint or work on anything today but here's a current HMR pic.

wow thats one hell of an army!

Those are copies of Tamashii Stage ACT.4 for Humanoid Clear

they use to sell those for 1050 yen for a set of 3

http://www.amiami.com/top/detail/detail?gcode=TOY-IPN-1623

They should hold fine if you use the hi-metal R adapters and angle it just right.

The stage act 5 is the ones that they released witht the roy special along with M and M.

Thanks for the info. Will be using this to hold/display the SDF-1 mini

Quick assembly. The details on this are amazing..

Anyone use this for their HMR? $3 shipped, way cheaper than tamshii stand.

Bought tamashii trident for $11-ish on Amazon (price went up now), but saw this on ebay the other day and bought one.

Just helping. Miriya 22 for $200

I was reluctant at fitst but finally caved in.

Preordered two (hlj & amiami)

Amazing build....

• my VF-19S right leg just randomly falling off not too long after I got it, while it was displayed in battroid mode
• one of my VF-171's missing a multitude of parts in addition to the exploding shoulders
• tip of the VF-19Advance head laser was broken off and missing out of the box
• VF-0D head laser hinge cracked out of the box
• folding hinge for sliding neck plate of YF-29 Alto disintegrated. worked out a fix for it.
• SV-51 Nora leg swivel part disintegrated over time. Was able to repair with glue.
• VF-22S Gamlin thighs weakened and split apart

well to be "fair" with your predicament, the last two issues are pretty common.

my ivanov 51 suffered from hip breakage, which I suspect because of brittle plastic. they crumbled into several pieces & it was one hell of a job to glue them back.

my 2 x gamlins cracked their hips, but were easily repaired with plastic cement.

Ooppsss. I didn't know there was a purchase limit and yahoo auction items are not included. Sorry about that. 

Yeah, I missed that too. Was excited and about to cherry pick macross stuff on buyee when I saw the clause that excludes Yahoo! Auction

Or you can purchase it via Buyee. They have a 50% off EMS shipping cost promo. Check it first which one is cheaper for you.

Good luck on the purchase. 

Major got the picture from Buyee : http://buyee.jp/item/yahoo/auction/v482927518

50% off EMS only for purchases above 45,001 Yen : http://media.buyee.jp/campaign/shippingfeeoff161201_buyee/en/

well in fact, Yahoo! Auction is NOT included in the promo...

Try edit your post and click the image and delete. If that doesn't work, click the cursor towards the end of the pic and select delete or backspace. I'm using iPhone and when I 'quote' this I clicked the images and deleted it. Hope that helps.

*figured how to delete the picture attachment* there is a faint "trash" icon on bottom right of the thumbnail once you uploaded a picture ...

Ok, that's it, I'm getting a copy of the Arcadia just to put an end to my misery.

You wont be disappointed. Im sure I wasnt.

Well...its a pseudo Macross

Seeing that there is no thread on Macross toys on Amazon, well here it goes :

Amazon has the tamashii trident plus stand (dark blue) for $11.79 + tax with FREE 2-day shipping if you have Amazon Prime :

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00JECLKOU/ref=olp_product_details?_encoding=UTF8&me=

Stand can fit 5 Hi-Metal R figures! Note that price on Amazon changes pretty quickly, so get yours now! They have 10 left in stock when I bought mine.

Current other cheapest price I've found online is HLJ, $11 + shipping from Japan : https://hlj.com/product/BANN07984/Sup

Hello! Just joined the ranks of HMR owner, awaiting my Roy/CF/Regult to arrive soon! 

Was surprised to see the MSRP for spartan is upward of 7k Yen! Prolly will end up scouring secondary market after release

And since the trio destroid (tomahawk/defender/phalanx) are yet to be seen, could Bandai actually plan to release them as a combo like the oldies?

Hi there I have one available that I want to get rid of. PM sent!

from youtube :

hmm decisions...decisions...

mykombini is offering VF-1A CF for $75.20 on ebay, with coupon it works out to $60 shipped.

Is it a good deal? Havent been paying attention on the boards nowadays.
