  1. Is the new version up for pre-order?

    HMR VF-19P

    Making it have more parts so a DX is more appealing later.
  3. I'd buy a missing link chunky monkey.
  4. It's the perfect release really, it's made for the Japanese market. Very few people outside Japan are going to buy Mac7 merch.
  5. Probably a lot of metal in the feet.
  6. That was usually the case but the latest announcement dropped the de minimis exemption because they're so paranoid of companies working around the tariffs creatively. Of course, none of us know what the final shape of any of this will look like so hopefully things like that exception are brought back swiftly and we can all go about our collecting with a sigh of relief.

    Bandai has done white landing gear on prototype before and then they don't end up that way so we will see.
  8. It seems the Japanese manufacturers have a pegged exchange rate that is working against US dealers. I don't believe BBTS is buying these retail, I think they're just getting and awful price from Arcadia. Manufacturers don't want to assume any currency risk.

    More info in a week right? Not released in a week.

    Not April fools huh? Cool!
  11. TZ put up preorders for their brutishdog, looks good but tough to compete with HMR.
  12. Oh, so we're really doing Channing Tatum as Gambit huh? I gave up on Marvel after T:L&T, BP2, AM:Q, were the tri-fecta of "we don't even have to try anymore!" style of writing but I've had enough recovery time to give GoG3 a chance and that was fun so sure, I'll watch this one (on Disney+).
  13. It was a test shot of what became the blue toy.
  14. That is a level of professionalism I can't even imagine these two license holders having. BW makes nothing on the Robotech toys and Robotech toys have almost no penetration in Japan so not much reason for them to change what they're doing based on HG.
  15. They're having too much fun with minimal change reissues for Frontier to do anything new. I wonder if the marketing guys are expecting a swell of interest when the new show hits so we're in a lull period where they're just trying to make sure people who want the existing toys can find them.
  16. As much as I'm not a fan of the CM's Legioss, their Tread was much better. Of course, since half the fun is connecting the Tread to the Legioss, the CM's Tread was handicapped. Oh boy, I must have had a lot more free time when I dug everything out to take this picture! Needless to say, I am REALLY looking forward to the Sentinel.
  17. CM's is these little guys, 1/18 scale: They're pretty small: I don't think we need to delve into Robotech shaming in this thread... leave that for the Macross thread where HG has done far more substantial damage.
  18. Looks like those would be from Roots of Ambition.
  19. They should do an appendix including the damaged parts from the assembly kit, 1/3000 vf-1s, and laser cut detail parts.
  20. That's interesting, I never thought about that head being complicated. I'll have to take a closer look.
  21. Okay, so one change and that's the plastic used for the antennae.
  22. Shameless plug, if you're going to buy from HLJ, use my campaign link! https://www.hlj.com/?utm_medium=affiliate&utm_source=scorchedearthtoys
