    C word?  Oh COVID.

    The problem is Bandai's desire to branch the line into other series, which they always do (except the DX Macross line). 

    Had HMR been a Macross-only line, it may have continued for a longer time.  Unfortunately the poor sales on the Xabungle, Techroid Blader and now L-Gaim figures will likely kill the line for us Macross fans.  The Dougram sold well enough to warrant a re-release and I think both of the other Dougram releases were web-exclusives.  The HMR Dougram prices have been falling also.  That's the only other line I would have kept collecting.

    As it is I sold my duplicates and the Messer VF-1.  I may not keep the HMR Elintseeker, will see.  I have the Arcadia PF one and I really do not need 2 representations of it.  I wonder if collecting is hitting a contracting phase again in general.

    this was my exact fear. once they started putting these other mecha into the line it was a bad sign for me. they just need a ben dixon, finish the destroids, and the 2 zent power armors and id be in heaven. cmon bandai!

    Just picked up my CatsEye yesterday. Nice little bugger! And to think I passed up the original Bandai /Takatoku mold many years ago (always searched but always failed to get a VF1S)

    wheres that from?

    Max arrived today...and I'm a bit underwhelmed.

    Maybe my Max excitement level is only high when paired with Milia. The last 3 releases have all been the VF-1. I got a nice VF-1 squadron forming but each new VF-1 released in a row lowers my excitement level by 5%. I love pizza but even I get tired of having pizza 3 nights in a row. After the 2nd night I want to have meatloaf on the 3rd night. That way I'm excited to have pizza again on the 4th night. They really need to start adding some more variety to the releases again.

    i agree 100%. after swooshing my cf around for days i only opened my max to check for defects and put it away. time for some destroids!

    From the very first post in this thread.

    Seems to have been a very reliable source.

    i think its been edited as time went on to keep track of the line.

    i think this thread is fine the way it is.

    i would support a new thread in the future for each new release though. no new releases coming for quite a long time so its a moot point.

    I'll get to my TV 1A Max when I get the chance. The chest plate is now white with no more red paint stripe. Removing the red paint is taking time. Painting it blue should be pretty easy.

    Just saw these pics. Damn that's Hi-Metal R-some!

    I understand the point of buying 14 regults, or several cannon fodders, but what is the reason to buy 3 VF-1S Roys or 3 vf-1j max? I do not understand ...

    maybe to customize them into different colors? if i had talent i would have bought another cf to turn it into kakizaki/ben dixon

    Has anyone tried the Amazon.jp otaku thing? I keep seeing posts about it on Facebook but haven't really looked into it. Supposedly, you can shop certain Japanese sellers with reduced shipping and stuff.
