If there aren't official alternate schemes, Hasegawa has been known to make up decal variants.

Now if only someone would do a YF-30.

Nousjadeul Ger would be nice. And can't forget we'll probably get more VF-0 gerwalk variants.

I know. I was just listing the ones that wouldn't directly compete if PLAMAX did a new max/miria TV kit. The Miria super is the exception.

In some ways Hasegawa is the most exciting because you have no idea what they'll do next. They certainly have plenty of gaps in their lineup all over the place, waiting to be filled. Is their next thing a Glaug? A 1/48 VF-1D, VT-1, or VE-1? Is it the Max super battroid that I want? Will they finally do a new fighter mould? VF-25 or VF-31 gerwalks? Who knows!!! 😄

True.... but the Max battroid was movie type and the max/miria fighters were from quite a while back.

Same. SAAAAAAAME. That's one that would probably prompt me to get extra copies. I'd love to have a whole lineup on display with the VE-1. VE-11, RVF-25, RVF-171, and VF-31E all together.

Right, forgot about the movie head being shown. As long as they come with movie hands, I'll be happy. I guess we may still see Max and Miria VF-1J battroids and fighters too.

They're teasing me with that Miria super battroid. But still no Max.

1/72 is what I want most, since most of my Macross stuff is 1/72. All I really have in 1/100 is the new Bandai partsformers. If I get the 1/100 destroids, I'd probably get the Wave VF-1s as well. If Wave won't do 1/72 Spartan, a Hasegawa one would be nice.

The Armored looks really nice! As for the tan colored one, glad to see they are following through on the variants teased a while back. Not sure what's left, maybe the blue-green one with Armored equipment, and the dish equipped type (please please PLEASE)?

Really frustrating that they skipped the Spartan in 1/72... and are now doing the Destroids again in 1/100 and STILL skipping the Spartan.

Interesting. From the info cards, it sorta looks like the VF-1A Max and VF-1A Kakizaki battroids will be separate releases, unlike the fighter kits. The battroids are more or less all TV versions so far - I wonder if they plan to do any in movie colors, since there are movie color fighters. Or if they are skipping those since the battroids really look more like TV version.

Yep, just got my payment received/added to private warehouse email today.

The VF-1D battroid required new parts too, and they did it so.... fingers crossed? Then again, Hasegawa never did a VF-1D battroid or 1/48 fighter despite doing a 1/72 fighter and gerwalk so who knows with these companies sometimes.

Odd that the VF-1D is missing from the fighter lineup though.

Thank goodness it was a Hasegawa release, not Bandai.

Yeah. I've had no trouble getting Hasegawa, Wave, and Plamax stuff through HLJ. Normally get my pre-orders for that stuff filled on the first delivery.

I dunno. I have a pre-order on the Bandai fire valkyrie which is still unfulfilled to this day. I just think it's a good idea to investigate other sources and not place all reliance on HLJ these days.

They fill pre-orders in the order received. So they must not have received enough stock to fill all pre-orders. You're in the queue waiting for 2nd batch delivery. Pre-ordering is never a guarantee that you'll get your order on release date at HLJ these days. I always try to pre-order as soon as something is posted, and this time fortunately I was early enough in the queue to get a batch 1 fulfillment of my order, It's probably time to start thinking about requesting shipment for me - in addition to the YF-21 w/ booster, I have a plamax VF-1J battroid, VF-1J fighter, 2 VF-1A fighters, a Queadluun Rau Max, and a YF-19 battroid waiting to ship.

Counting on it. Please Hasegawa, don't disappoint. (and I'm still waiting for a VF-1J Max Super Battroid to match the Miria release)

I see. Well that's fine, assuming they have a lineup of vf-0 gerwalk variants in the pipeline.

I wonder if this will include option to build as standard vf-0 gerwalk without ghost.

Oh I know. It's just frustrating. I'm sure HLJ would love to get more stock allocation if they could. It's just annoying to be able to get Hasegawa, Wave, Kotobukiya, Max Factory, Tamiya, and whatever else I want in a timely manner from HLJ, but I have to go back to how it was in the 90s and just wait and wait for Bandai stuff.

So far the only things I've gotten from HLJ were 1 YF-29 Max, 1 YF-21, and one set of YF-21 decals. Everything else I've picked up local. Pretty bad track record.
