It's Hasegawa though. It's not like them to miss out on an opportunity for an easy rebox. I'd love a bespoke VF-25A release to A) get a unique decal sheet for it, and way more importantly B) get some sweet VF-25A box art. More boxings = more box art. And I love the box art.. 😭

Yeah HLJ seems really slow to process shipments now. I just had the VF-0 gerwalk and a 1/72 VF-1 black aces shipped, but I have a bunch waiting in warehouse: PLAMAX VF-1S Strike, PLAMAX VF-1S Battroid, HG Fire Valkyrie, Glaug, 3 VF-1A Super, PLAMAX Fire Valkyrie, Mass Production Queadluun Rau, PLAMAX VF-1A Max, VF-11 Thunderbolt w/ Rocket Booster, VF-171 Rim World Model, and 2 issues of Macross Mechanics. I dread the shipping. Probably have to break it up into multiple shipments over time.

Unless I'm mistaken, the HG vf-31 is not released yet.

The new Rim World version is out. Got notice from HLJ.

FYI, it is officially out. I got notification from HLJ some days ago.

Yeah I have 3 of the 1/72 I think. If I remember right, the 1/72 has 4 version options. For sure, will want to do 1 of each scale as a non-super. The tail markings are very cool on these. Not sure what to do with the leftover super parts though.

I have 2 1/48 black aces, but the kit provides options for 5 schemes...🤔

I could maybe understand holding off on battroids since Hasegawa has the Miria and now the Max super battroids coming out. But even then, the approaches are so wildly different... But I do not at all understand holding off on the fighters since Hasegawa's Max/Miria set is so old now.

My habit of getting 3 of each release is starting to look... ill-advised.

Other than Super/Strike versions, I guess the only real thing left to do is VF-1J Max/Miria and maybe movie versions? Possibly an all-in-one combo pack like they're doing for the fighter. They haven't done VF-1J Max/Miria for the fighter kit though... which is puzzling.

Oh my! I've been waiting for this announcement for a while. I much prefer the Hasegawa styling and don't really care about posing, so this is a must buy for me. Good to finally add a VF-1J Max to the thin assortment of other Hasegawa battroids. Can't wait to see the box art!

Worth buying the mag for alone? Or is there other Macross stuff in the issue?

Haven't seen a mention of it yet.

What isn't a Bandai kit?

Well crap. I wish I'd known. I would have ordered two. Now it's marked discontinued at HLJ. I'll have to get a second one elsewhere.
