Entertainment Earth had the Aoshima reactive ingrams on sale for $51 USD so I cleaned them out of all 3.....

These kits are are a lot of fun. Now to build units 1 and 3 and then paint / decals

HMA Garage is working on more expensive stuff

 

I'm assuming the AV-98C MK III is that ingram that's in the Zoid's artwork a few posts above?

We've got tons of flea markets in New Jersey and once in a while some people are selling anime goods so it was a super lucky score lol

I found an Aoshima ACKS 1/43 ingram on sale at a flea mkt and picked it up. The kit is surprisingly good and a better build than both the 20+ yr old 1/35 MG Ingram and Moderoid's 1/60 entry.  

Unfortunately Aoshima has only done ingrams and they've already released the most common variations, except for TV Ingram Unit 3. They're last entry for Patlabor was the Reactive Armor units in Dec 22 and nothing else has been announced afaik so despite being amazing kits it's a hard-sell to have just ingrams in an off-scale (1/43) That said I'm hooked on these now and am going to go and buy TV unit 2, 3 reactives and the double car set because I'm an ingram addict.

i was never a fan of AGE but hot damn that looks so cool

We all know the answer

so I assume we're getting the YF-21 full set first, and then 3 years later they'll release the barebones version for 1000 yen less?

This just popped up on taghobby

thet Max VF-1s Should come with two sets of wings so you can model the snapped off ones after he rolls

I just nabbed the last set of Hazel + Hrududu parts on AE. $240 ain't bad for the entire set. Just have to pay shipping in April.

It'll by my 4th metal robot Hazel but can you really have too much Hazel? I think even with shipping the exchange rate makes it cheaper to buy from Japan since Bamco still tries to charge ~ 1usd = 100 yen in P-bandai US

The Exchange rate is so good you can now buy Metal Robot Hazels for cheaper , after shipping, from Japan than it costed to order locally from P-Bandai USA O_o

If any of you US based collectors are still wanting to preorder locally USA gundam store has a flash sale on preorders, like 20% off today 

I bought the yf-19 full set at release and sold eveything outside of the fast-packs and foldildo for $70 bucks and I stil have more than what this renewed YF-19 comes with O_o

I nabbed a copy of Macross Chou hyoka while I was at Kinokuniya in NYC. was pricey but it was just 5 bucks more than amazon jp after shipping

No worry. Macross won't become gundam until there's an Angsty Teenage kid who hates adults and is forced into a super powerful valkyrie to survive. And then the kid slowly spends the show realizing he has to fight a war he hates and the best way to solve the problem of adults killing eachother is to just kill all the bad guys

introducing Macross Builders! Brave middle school kids customize their own valkyries and fight virtual battles... 

*cringe*

I hope the show cuts down on the number of idols to 1-2 and introduces a new style of Valkyrie that isn't based off the yf-24 or yf-30 styles.

Gib valkyries that don't have tons of back-kibble, much like teh old-school valkyries

Yeah definitely sunrise. Hope it turns out well 

The official Macross account just posted this vague entry on twitter

It says "A new Macross Animation is in the works. The animation studio will be Sunrise"

Now the spectulation Begins

firesale yamato V2 prices aren't my baseline for macross anymore

Did that red stand come with the Hikaru standalone? I got one at release and I don't recall getting one of those stands O_o

The way Hasegawa could steal all my money is if they made 1/48 battroids because building an army of 1/48 battroids at ~$50 usd a pop would cause hasegawa macross backlogs to explode

If anyone still needs this Amazon.co.jp has somebody selling it for ~131 usd shipped at this time

Really looking forward to those econo ingrams. I actually even went out and bought both color sets of the hercules and boxer just to support the line.

really hope they bring out more schaft stuff like the saturn and phantom. surprised the brocken hasn't been announced tbh
