KOG Water Dragon

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.

I want it for the Kakizaki decals and the box art. I'll pay extra if I have to.

Seems to be the case.

I'm a little worried, no private warehouse notice for the VF-1A Max I pre-ordered yet...

Japan only web exclusive or something.

Do we know if the Kakizaki unit is out as well, assuming one can figure out how to obtain one?

I ordered 3 decals along with 3 of each kit. When the kits and decals got released, kits went straight to backorder and i got nothing, but the decal order was fulfilled. A little while later, kits still backordered, but decals sitting there in stock. So I tried ordering another 3, to see what would happen. They went ahead and fulfilled the order, despite my other 3 sets still sitting there in private warehouse. So if they were ok with it, I feel clear conscience

I did. I did order the VF-22s on day one. I actually got 6 sets of the decals from HLJ, but 0 of the kits. 🤣

Ordered one of each. Which isn't super helpful as I like to get 3 of each. But I'm likely to get all mine local since HLJ rarely comes through for me. I still haven't gotten any of the Max/Miria VF-22s I ordered.

I'm thinking it was designed with close quarters combat in mind, for dense urban environments. I don't know if we ever really see it used that way, but it makes sense.

Really wish they'd put work into a Spartan, now that they could use the design for both 1/72 and 1/100 scale kits.

Man I really hope the YF-19 battroid is making money for them, and that they are encouraged to do more battroids. At least VF-11 and YF-21!

Welp, I guess i need to get those wave vf-1s to put next to the 1/100 destroids and the bandai hg 1/100 stuff.

So we're getting all 5. Nice. Maybe all 4 from Frontier after?

I prefer SDFM Supers over DYRL Strikes... Really want a pair of Max/Miria Supers in 1/72 since Hasegawa never bothered.

Still need max/miria vf-1j in both forms.

Not a big deal about the stickers since it's mostly color corrections which should be painted anyway. But the lightning bolts on the head could be a pain. I'm disappointed there's no caution markings/stenciling.

Imagine my pain as I have 15 things I need to ship waiting at HLJ. Some in pretty large boxes. Glaug, 1/48 YF-19 w/ fast pack, VF-0S gerwalk, VF-171EX Armored...

Hopefully temporary. The other shipping services were suspended due to the tariff issues.

I think anything SDFM and DYRL is going to be harder to find locally due to licensing issues on those titles. So the Glaug might be easier to find on japanese hobby sites.

Has anyone EVER released a Tread kit? I want one.
