  1. Yeah. Kinda like the first 1/48 boxes were. Before Yamato went damn crazy adding backgrounds and going multicolors on 'em...
  2. Also, I actually like the Black Box of the Premium. Wish it was a window-box, tho. Still, much better presence than the tacky ones of the regular editions. Heck! I much prefer the all-black over any of the yammies and arcadias.
  3. just received my premium Hikkie, so here's a comparo quickie... http://imgur.com/E9FC8VV
  4. I think it should just come included with the 0A as standard accessory, at no additional cost. Should act as an apology/appeasement for the 0A's kinda crappy build-quality for an expensive figure...
  5. I tell you what. Six months after Arcadia's re-release of their 1/3k SDF-1 DYRL version, they will come up with a Premium version (fancy LEDs and stuff) of it and call it wait for it, SDF-1 Macross Plus edition. Wallet obliteration complete...
  6. Since the 1/60 Max-S1J re-issue is scheduled for 12/2016 release, I reckon it's safe to say that this upcoming 1/3k SDF-1 re-issue won't release until at least spring next year. Maybe jit again for tax-refunds season or so. That said, wonder when the po will open up for both. Wish Arcadia re-issue the 1/12 Scopedogs alongside with it as well. With updated joints stuff and long-needed detailing.
  7. Maybe Arcadia's trying out the old mould to see if their current factories can at least successfully reproduce their old SDF-1 DYRL design. Then afterwards, they (hopefully) produce their SDF-1 TV mould. If they actually have one in the works and the license to produce it, that is. Meanwhile, most of us will just have to still put up with the current tiny cfs SDF-1 TV for now... http://imgur.com/3TihboH

    Hi-Metal R

    I got one at HLJ earlier. However, any of you guys successful paying at CDJ via non-paypal for this HMR? I am somehow unsuccessful with both my regular card and a newer card. WTF?! edit/update: Resolved! Finally got one at cdj and now I can cancel the hlj one. Guess there was some timing issue with the new system at cdj.

    Ask ET for a refund. If they refuse, demand trial by combat...
  12. Chachi of RPA finally got his long-overdue HMR Dougram review up and available:
  13. Not sure if there's already a thread for it, but trailer's out! 12/22/17 release Looks like tons of fun!
  14. I dunno. The upcoming Jumanji film already looks like tons better than any and every Bay movies ever made:
  15. "Playable" and "Poseable" can be almost a grail thing. At least with Macross stuff. The 1/55 are extremely "Playable". They're tanks. Of course, they're not that poseable since they're about 30plus-year-old designs. The HMR vf-1's are relatively recent, but you already know about the parts-forming and the tiny sizing. The 1/48 are huge, but can be quite cumbersome and sometimes fragile, as evidenced by your bp8 issue with it. The old 1/60 (v1) are way old and more partsforming than the HMR, not to mention challenging and quite ugly now in battroid-mode. So then your best bet from your size requirements and stuff will be the recent Arcadia 1/60 VF-1's for playability and poseability without the parts-forming. They're the same design as the older Yamato 1/60v2, but with a bit of newer materials. They're quite robust and solid (more solid and prettier than the 1/48 and the HMR), but they're heckuva EXPENSIVE nowadays. HLJ has the non-premium Strike Roy and Strike Hikaru for 21,800y already that does not include shipping-fees. Add another 10k-15k for the limited Premium versions (tampo markings). You can try to get the older Yamato 1/60v2, but those can get even more expensive than the newer Arcadia-versions from the scalpers. They're a bit less robust than the later Arcadia versions, but they have the correct colors and stuff.
  16. Yeah. Still looks awesome. I was kinda thinking you were gonna pair Yurisha with the Percival as an update on these sets...

    Hi-Metal R

    Very nice! A DX Chogokin version will be even much nicer, too!
  18. HMR Soltic Roundfacer now listed at: http://p-bandai.jp/item/item-1000115462/ !&I$#&YT#QHSEFHSF#%Y$*^%(&Y@& dammt, bandai!
  19. Guess this is one potential result of when Momo's all growed up... http://www.amiami.com/top/detail/detail?gcode=FIGURE-031043 PVC Pre-painted Complete Figure Scale: 1/6 Size: Approx. H280mm *Partly cast-offable 01/18
  20. I'm not really sure what you're trying to argue in here. Are you really trying to justify the KO/Bootleggers by using the lawsuit between BW and HG? You're really going off the rails if you're really just trying to do that.
  21. Anything HG-related is really a different subject matter altogether. It's ownership/trademark/licensing contention. It does not apply to this thread and does not apply to the KO/Bootleg manufacturers at all. KO/Bootleg manufacturers do not have any rights to do any contesting.
