What type and brand of top coat did you guys use on your VF31s? If I can find one here locally I might do the same treatment on Mirage's valk (assuming I get to PO one of course.)

It should be interesting to see statistics on those who purchase Macross toys/collectitbles nowadays. I wonder how many would be in the 15 to 20 years category. These valks are rated 15 and up after all. It should also explain the direction Kawamori-san is taking with the anime franchise.

Sorry to hear that you haven't gotten a Messer pre-order yet Graham. Must be all the young and tech-savvy millenials finding ways to exploit the pre-orders while we old farts are stuck hitting F5. >-D

Good to know a lot of folks are older than me hehehe...In several years I'll be in that age bracket, this Macross stuff (and online shopping) is making me consider moving up my 'early' retirement.

On topic I wish Arad was next that gives me more time to save up for Mirage.

P-Bandai has a survey specifically for overseas customers. Here's your best shot at eliminating those pesky third-party fees.

Guys don't forget to put Macross in Other category of stuff you like

I think I bought 3 items from the sale. If I had some more extra money I'd have bought another item or two but then again they're not really a want to have item.

My dream come true, Diamond Crevasse by JUNNA!!

Really curious how JUNNA sings it.

Oh nice, I hope I can find another one from a JP shop when released. I already have one on pre-order with BBTS, but would like dupes if possible. I also need another F91 Metal Build preorder or maybe when released.

Question: Does BBTS ship from Japan or from US?

I want all those 1/20 Votoms but I lack space and money T_T

Maybe next time, maybe next time...

I'm ok with Messer being next--the more -31's as a whole they sell, the lower the demand for each successive one---thus easier for me to get Mirage's.

Yeah, I hope she's the last one

I'm thinking of getting the Tamashii stands. Will those work or is it overkill?

I'm not a Ranka fan but I hope she does better this time. She should focus on music. I feel that when you sing your own songs you can escape being locked in to some anime. I think May'n has done wonderfully (though not so enamored with her latest album), Nakajima should just get some more good songs under her belt.

Will it come with a canopy that has a sniper hole in it?

Haha if it doesn't I wanna see someone do a mod on the canopy for it.

I got my Roy VF1S today ...looking forward to the photo shoot on the weekend.

Now a Hikky is not a must-have for me, but I'll probably think about it seriously next year when Milia is out. (Can you release new stock Bandai? Please? Haha) Maybe the reason I'm not so hot on Hikaru is that he's not an ace pilot. I mean he's a good pilot but his exploits aren't on the same level as Roy and M&M.

By the way the Max on HLJ is now Low Stock so those who haven't got him yet better hurry.

Finally done with the brownie fighter. What a big difference a modeling nipper makes! It was a much more pleasant build than the battroid. Unfortunately on the landing gears I put too much force and split one of the covers on the front. So now I have to use the stand but I don't like the included stands that much I think they're too fragile. Anybody knows an alternative stand that can be used for the fighters?

it doesn't look like naan to me it looks thinner. to me it looks like prata since i got to taste one a few years ago. in the discussion others say it's roti but what do i know about roti...

thanks for the updates by the way. i haven't gone to AFASG i'm too busy buying stuff online lol. one day i hope to attend a concert of hers in japan since from the videos they look awesome.

I'm lucky I still have a backlog of kits (have trouble finding space for them). I don't have an urge to buy anything Gundam but next year might be a different story...

When is the 31S coming out? I want one but I want to time it such that I could ship it together with Figuarts Zero Mirage.

Its true.

I bought 3 regults cause reasons. Then i bought a two VF1A cause it was cheap enough, then when max was available again i got a second one. Then milias poped, got one but when i catched my second max i said " hey max need his match" so got another.

Yeah the one I wanted to have multiples of was regults. It actually started with regults! I was in Japan and I had never heard of HMR but I was looking at this HMR Regult in Yodobashi. I didn't buy one immediately (bad move) since I wanted something bigger. And in my research I stumbled into MacrossWorld...and that's how I found my way to the rabbit hole!

I've been having so much fun and enjoyment ever since falling in the rabbit hole.

You're on another level...You went into a black hole, together with your HMR fleet

You already know the answer to this. Get three.

The answer scares me. I just wanted a second opinion maybe I can still avoid falling into the rabbit hole

Had my VF1S Roy shipped. But now a voice in the back of my head is whispering that I need a Hikky. I'm just imagining it, right?

Is this a glitch?

Roy on HLJ with discount btw

thanks! got an order in!

I'd be so disappointed if Mikumo dies. Her singer is the only one I like among the Walkure. Freyja's singer is ok but I wonder if she can have a successful career with her voice. Remember Megumi Nakajima? Where is she now?

I want that VF1S Focker and VF1D too

That's so cute!

I wonder what they do while the concert's far away. Does Walkure have an official blog or Twitter?
