That's the spirit! Now I can feel safe leaving the Bandai in battroid, since I'll have the Hasegawa for fighter. And big 1/48s are always cool. Though we need the YF-21, VF-1D, and VF-11 a lot more. Do we think VF-0 is too insanely big for 1/48?

I'm kinda more interested in these.... 1/48 VF-19EF/A Isamu Special Macross Frontier 1/72 VF-25F Tornado Messiah Macross Frontier (Atmospheric Specification) Are they rehashes of existing moulds? Yes. Was the Isamu Special already released in 1/72? Yes. Am I excited to have a 1/48 Isamu Special and a Hasegawa Tornado Messiah? YES. Gives me a little fresh hope that they might do an Armored VF-25 or Armored VF-31 if they want to milk the base moulds as much as possible.

I really wish Hasegawa would do VF-27 and YF-30... or just like any new fighter at all really.

pre-ordered!

I'm mostly interested because it's small enough to display 3 each - 1 per mode. I have the Hasegawas for fighters and the Bandai 1/72s which I would leave in battroid, but I was never going to get another set of Bandais for gerwalk.

Still waiting for mine.

Kinda surprised they haven't at least announced the final VF-31 yet. Hopefully that's coming along with the other two VF-25S

OK... I had ordered this before I started asking about the Frontier and Delta JP releases... just yesterday I received a copy of the 4K DYRL from Amazon Japan. I am so beyond happy. I've wanted a good quality official subtitled copy of DYRL for a looooooooong time. It plays fine on my PS5, the subtitles seem good, visual quality is fantastic, and the package art is just lovely. Looking forward to investing in some more JP releases, starting with Delta (since it has subtitles). A lot of the JP releases seem to have really really nice packaging.

Pre-ordered. Despite feeling like I prefer the movie version in regards to the leg packs. Maybe now is the time for Miria/Max versions? I keep hoping. What are the best bets for further releases in this mould series? Movie -1A with decals in red/blue/green? Movie VF-1S Roy? Or -1J in Miria/Max colors?

Waiting for HLJ to confirm they got one for me. Stock status on the item page shows it as still pending. At least it hasn't switched to backorder.

Sorry, I meant to say I was asking specifically about Macross Frontier and Delta releases that aren't the main TV series for each. Like I don't know what Macross Frontier Galaxy Live Final 2025 and Macross Frontier Galaxy Live Final 2021 are. And I guess there's at least 2 movies for Frontier, and maybe 3+ movies for Delta? Are the movies new material or made up of TV clips?

OK. I'm trying to collect various Macross media on blu-ray. I got the Macross Plus Ultimate Edition from Crunchyroll. I will hopefully be getting the Macross Zero collection soon. I am signed up for the Macross II kickstarter and will get that when finally released. I just ordered the japanese DYRL 4K with english subtitles from Amazon. I was excited when they announced Macross Delta and Frontier getting officially released in the US. but that seems to have stumbled. So my question is, what is it like to order Delta and Frontier content as japanese release editions? They seem to all be region free so they will play OK on US region A players? And it looks like most Frontier media has no english subtitles, while most Delta content does? Is that fair to say? And how is the quality of the english subtitles on the japanese releases? And I'm not too familiar with the additional materials released outside the main TV series... can anyone tell me which additional blu rays would be recommended beyond the main series?

Forgot about VF-11MAXL. It's battroid version right? Would be great if they also did VF-17T, and other stuff from M7 like max/miria VF-22S and assorted VF-11, VF-19, VF-17 variants. Probably too much to hope for though.

So the only pending PLAMAX Macross kits are the Armored VF-1J, VF-19P battroid, and a Nose Collection series item? Hope they announce some new stuff soon. Fire Valkyrie fighter would be nice. Or the missing Max and Miria units. Or more varieties of Super/Strike battroid I guess.

Wee.... just got 2 of these in at HLJ thanks to reissue.

Got mine sitting at hlj as well.

Sure, the VF-2SS with blue stripe, the VF-2SS with red stripe, and the VF-2SS with yellow stripe. I kid, I kid. A plain VF-2S would be cool. I don't care about VF-2J one way or the other. Metal Siren I can do without. Would love the destroids but I don't think anyone's touching those.

Ya it would be bizarre to skip F and only F, when they're doing E, which is the one they DID skip in 1/72. I'd love VF-31A but it means new parts so I'm not counting on it. The real thing is, I wonder if they have anything planned once VF-25 and VF-31 series are complete? Almost anything else will be a downstep in recognition and popularity compared to what they've already done. I guess they could do SV-262, but does anyone really want to buy a bunch of slight marking variations for those? The best option is VF-0 with lots of variants to do, but they may avoid it because of the Wave kits. My hope would be a VF-11 series and some one-offs like YF-30, but they may not be seen as profitable enough. Or, hear me out..... VF-2SS. 🥰

Didn't they show prototypes of all 5 vf-31 heads a while back? I doubt they are skipping the vf-31f.

OK so the HG VF-31S is out.... And my HLJ pre-orders for the regular kit, deluxe kit, and decal sheet have all gone straight to back order. What a surprise.

That's weird. Mine are still in place.

This.

I asked to get notified when a Death Stranding kit was back in stock. I've been getting an email to let me know the item has come back in stock every day for like a month now.

Oh I know. Most of my Bandai stuff is bought locally now. I just wish HLJ wouldn't open pre-orders until they're sure how much stock they're getting. It seems like they just guess how much they'll get. I'll keep using HLJ for non-Bandai. They've been great for getting the new PLAMAX stuff, kotobukiya stuff like Ikaruga kits and Legend of Galactic Heroes ships, moderoid stuff like the Horizon Zero Dawn kit, and Hasegawa in general. I also get my hobby mags there.

I also just got notice on my Kotobukiya Steel Haze. So I guess it's still mostly a case of HLJ having problems fulilling Bandai orders. And maybe a chance of delay with other popular products.
