Ended up nabbing a Japanese copy for under 35 bucks shipped. Not having SDFM content was a dealbreaker for the local release

I just consider these HG's and the 1/72 perfect transformation series the MG's and it all kinda makese sense.

Those are interesting. What company is it for and for what game 

These are for Heavy Gear by Dreampod 9. These two suckers here have already been announced but I've already completed 7-8 other designs that are just waiting to enter the marketing pipeline XD

I've been busy making 3d models from scratch for a small tableop gamemaker. 

It's been a joy to see stuff I made come to market but it's also pretty much killed my desire to buy most miniatures now that I know how to make and print them from scratch

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

About half the mag is macross with buildups of Hasegawa yf-19 and Bandai HG Yf-21 among others

A very stripped down windows would theoretically have much better compatibility than the proton layer that Steam OS uses, but we'll just have to wait and see. Proton and Anti-cheat don't get along if the gamedevs are lazy.

They had better make it do stop'n'go as well as Steam OS, because that's the one huge downgrade I experienced when I went from a Steamdeck to the Rog Ally. Losing a few minutes everytime I had to put the game on hold makes playing games during my commute awful; a problem the Nintendo Switch or Steamdeck never had.

If the Xbox Ally fixes that stop'n'go issue and the Z2 extrene offers a significant upgrade in performance over the Z1 extreme I'll definitely nab one.

Model Graphix July 2025 has a beautiful build up of the Plamax battroids Vermillion Squadron

Dang so Aoshima did update their ACKs line with 2 new entries, but they're just Ingram 1 & 2 repacks with the special command vehicles, as they should've been from the start instead of separate kits XD.

I really want to see TV ingram 3 from Aoshima plz plz plz >_<

I'm not entirely sure what direction they're trying to go with this new legioss design but it's just not for me. Adding the gundam head and all the janky gundam bulk underneath in fighter looks really ugly. Also who blocks off half their front intakes by slapping large guns on the lerxes. 

I'll pass on the overstylized design and wait for my riobot stuff to ship and hopefully there's not crazy tariffs in the US at that time XD

You can tell if you got a valk or a just parts by the shipping weight that fedex emails you. if it's less than a pound you just got parts. If it's 2.50lb it's a valk. 

Sadly I only got parts . my shipping weight was. 0.45 lb and I got 1 antenna and 2 canopies 

Just remember to add another 10000 yen + shipping and tariffs for the eventual TWE Sound booster pack 😁

Honestly I'll just wait to get it for WWM release if I really want it. If anything it'll prolly get sold for a nice discount on Amazon 6months or so after release

Probably a lot of metal in the feet.

So what you're saying is we need to order a new bottle of joint glue cuz Metal and metal ball joints have worked SOOO well for the last 14 years of macross toys since the Alto YF-29 😅

Gamlin should have been a normal release meanwhile Wright Immelman's VF-22 should have been the P-Bandai change my mind

Imagine Bandai made Mospeada Models and made them as cursed as their Transforming 1/72 VF-1 line 💀

Very Meh I wanted more Mac7 like the Vf-11, VF-19 Emerald Force and the Vf-17

Hasegawa pops out another color variant of the same mold.

People are surprised.

I'm surprised people are surprised that Hasegawa does Hasegawa

inb4 they move to Queadluun Rhea instead of giving the Boys a power armor 🙃

It's still the same VF-27 Ver 1.25 that came out in 2017 and even then that renewal was just a tweaked version of the original 2010 vf-27. Just now it has a matte coat.

At least release the damn toy in different colors like the Macross 30 version and maybe I'd bite

So... uh.. what's up with these normal looking Unix Square Figures that were just announced? They look as if Bandai made a Robot Damashii Ver Anime of the 1J, but it's from Unix Square?!?

BTW it's three different figures they do not transform.

There's gotta be some weakness or tolerance issue because it looks like everyone, including me, has the cracked canopy on the right front-side tab

hot Dayam that was expensive. Couuld care less about missiles I'd never use

Thank god Amzn JP doesn't charge until shipping like everywhere else

i just hope the fire valk is popular enough for Bandai to go ahead with more Mac7 stuff like the VF-19 emerald, VF-19P and maybe the VF-11 and VF-17, though I'm scared of a Bandai VF-17 because if it's any good I'd want to buy multiples (looks at 18 DX VF-171's)

Expect lots of stripes and FIRE BOMBER plastered over the wings in huge letters.

don't forget to have one backwards / mirrored because it "looks better" (looking at you 001 tailfins)

I could care less about highspeed mode I care more about if Bandai manages to overengineer and screw up the VF-19 when they've already got a hi-metal R T-rex to work up from
