  1. yup. my mind is telling me (tricking me?) that there's a white nose cone, grey blotches that could be super packs, red body. If this really is super vf-1j milia, im throwing money at it so fast.
  2. Milia vf-1j? That's about the only VF-1 variant i'd be happy with.
  3. I'm surprised at all the people that think it's an SV-51. The Yamato ones sold like garbage, and interest in non-hero valks isn't very high.
  4. I kind of miss the days of Anime Magic. I feel like the Valkyries we get nowadays are very AutoCAD.
  5. I posted this in another thread back last summer when I picked it up - I stumbled across this at a 2nd and Charles in Atlanta back in the summer. The tab that hooks the back into the underside of the nose in battroid doesn't hold that well but look at how white this thing is! (slight leg discolor but otherwise amazing). Even came with original decal sheet and the little bio card! It was only 70 bucks too.
  6. I think if you order from someone who received the product through bluefin USA channels, the box is going to be Voltron. Bandai did two boxes-GoLion for asia, Voltron for the West. Edit: looks like the VOLTRON box art is a sleeve, and under that is the GoLion box.
  7. If this is gonna be a Delta sequel, please reveal Lady M and PLEASE let it be Miho-Miho
  8. Nobody has gone after anyone else though. At least not that I've seen (edit: ok, i see one angry guy). Saying something was "crap" is simply someone's opinion, and posters shouldn't take it personally. People can dislike things other people like, people shouldn't be starting fights over it.
  9. At the very least I wish they could get away from Satelight, but since Kawamori is their managing director, that'll never happen. Satelight really is garbage.
  10. Yeah. I gave Delta a bit of a chance but dropped it like a rock. I'll buy the toys and kits, though. That's about it. I imagine this new thing will be much the same. I know it will probably be bad, but I'll at least give it a watch or two just to make sure.
  11. Well, the thing is that for some of us (i know i'm not alone), Macross has been taking a dive ever since Zero. MacF was bad, and Delta was horrid. I know not everyone shares that opinion obviously, but there's some of us that feel that way. Personally, I don't really look forward to more Macross honestly. I don't think Kawamori is all that competent at anything other than designing mecha. More mecha and sometimes the music is good, but everything else lately I can do without.
  12. I don't know anything about Macross the First other than its a retelling of SDF Macross. I have no idea if its good or not. Whatever we get though, we can be sure it won't be competently animated. Satelight sucks.
  13. I was thinking that "Superdimension" project might wind up being a Macross: The First animation
  14. Im not surprised. I dont know about now, but back in the day (very late 90s/early 00s) HLJ cultivated a lot of good will in the modeler/anime hobby communities by engaging customers on newsgroups, forums, by email, etc etc. I had several conversations with Scott T Hards myself back in the RAAM (rec.arts.anime.modeler) days. Such things have not been forgotten, and HLJ has a legion of fans as a result that will go to bat for them. There used to be several MW posters from RAAM days that probably remember this as well, although I havent seen their nicks in years i'd like to think they are still lurking somewhere.

    Bandai DX VF-31

    Pass on the 31s, save, and get the best DX Chogokin instead - the VF-19 Advance.

    Bandai DX VF-31

    I ended up cancelling my 31J. I just picked up two valks today, both of which i'd rather have over the 31J any day of the week. Spending too much money lately on this stuff, had to put a stop to it somewhere and the 31J didn't make the cut. I can always get one of the others later I guess.

    Bandai DX VF-31

    Man, this thing looks like it will be impossible to display in battroid without a stand
  21. i mean, it is a really crappy toy that no one wants thanks to a decade and a half of yamato and arcadia and bandai releases, but i figured it was worth 5 bucks. And it never got above 3.25!
  22. Just got a DX Chogokin VF-25A in. Second DX Chogokin after that surprise yf-29/yf-30 shipment at HLJ the other week. I really love these. Way more than the yamato/arcadia toys. Was only about 11k yen or so at Jungle.

    Hi-Metal R

    non vf-1 valks probably dont sell as well. i think that if they do stray away from vf-1's, it'll be to the yf-19 and -21
