hachi

I also used Elmer's Glue but it's just a temporary solution for me. That's why in my previous post the battroid got easily dismembered by the regult haha. When I get more serious about building the other Tomytec kits I'll get some 'proper' glue for the kits. My problem is actually the torso when it separates it's kind of annoying.

Is there a thread for Bandai MB figures? It seems Bandai has this Metal Build, then there's also Robot Damashii. I think there's also SOC but there's a thread for that already. (What's the difference between SOC and DX Chogokin? Me confused.)

So I did a quick check on my Max and looks okay...Will take a closer look this weekend. One thing I realized is it is small. Kinda wish it was a bit bigger but for someone like me who doesn't have the space (I have LOTS of books aside from the boxes of kits), it is quite appropriate. If I had more $$$ I would have gotten two. But as I am not rich, I'll make do with one.

Take it out. Check if it's broken. Don't wait a few months then find out you can't get a replacement.

OK, OK I'll open it...

Just return it back to Marvel.

Yeah, I'm never watching anything X-Men again if Fox does it. I got to watch parts of Apocalypse on cable and I was so relieved I didn't watch it in the theatre. It would have been a waste of my money. And I didn't like the focus on Mystique/Jennifer Lawrence on the current reboot.

Got my Max delivered today!

But I don't feel like taking him out yet...I would have waited for Milia if only she did not have to come out in March but much earlier.

I heard there will be a metal Build Wing 0 Gundam

Please someone let me know when it will go up for preorder so I can FHAWKING CANCEL MY OWN DEATH, MY SONS BIRTHDAY, MY WIFES ANNIVERSARY, MY PROJECT FORECASTS, MY CAR BRAKE TUNE UP

thanks.....

Do you think they're gonna do the other four? Would you cancel 4 more deaths etc?

I'd love to have all 5 Gundams from Wing but all 5 (assuming 20k yen each) would already finance me a trip to Japan or a shopping spree in Singapore...

Do they have concerts planned? It seems weird I feel there hasn't been any news whereas in Frontier there were several concerts.

Any VF-31A illustrations in this one?

As far as I can tell, none. The most attention for Delta goes to the VF31J and only for a few pages. The rest are mostly from Frontier and SDF Macross. You'll have to wait for the 4th sortie book five years from now.

I have to say the illustrations are really nice, and if I had money to burn I'd buy a 2nd one and cut some out to display on a wall or something.

When a cannon fodder meets a regult...

...it's not gonna be a happy meet and greet.

Send them to me, I'll make them for you.

And miss the suffering enjoyment in building these damn little things?

Anyway, I just ordered new nippers. I was actually using cheap precision cutters bought at a hardware store. I think they worked fine for the battroid (aside from the popping out parts) but for the fighters I don't think they'll do. I'll get Xuron cutters later if the nipper doesn't cut it. Haha

Just paid for the HMR Max and shipping. I can't wait to get my hands on it!

So I finally got to assemble the battroid over the weekend. Sad to say it took me not 30 minutes, but hours lol. Mostly I was being careful in cutting the parts from the sprues and then trimming it. It was my first time with such small parts, it was not so easy and my hands aren't big! Haha. Sometimes when I cut a part it would pop away and minutes are spent looking for that tiny part. I had several instances where I feared either I'd lose the part or I'd accidentally step on it. I probably wouldn't be getting another battroid unless it's a VF-1D. It's not a toy I can play with unfortunately. But I like the fighters for display purposes.

Not sure when I can start on the fighter as I can only work on it on weekends. And HMR Max is coming soon anyway, might make me even forget about the Tomytecs for a while.

From Tamashii Nation 2016.

Looks sweet.

What series is this from?

Oh never mind. It was just the weathered version.

I liked the movie a lot. I was thinking of seeing it again in 3D but I changed my mind when I remembered HMR Max is coming soon

A few more pictures of Freyja posted on Volks's blog!

I can't say I'm a particular fan of the faceup on this one. If pricing holds from the previous Macross DD release, she'll probably come in at 65k-70k jpy. I would venture to guess that the stage outfit will be the default with the travel/casual outfit to be an add-on (both Sheryl and Ranka shipped with stage outfits).

Freyja looks creepy.

My VF31C and VF31J fighter kits finally arrived. But I still have the SDF Macross kits to assemble so they'll have to wait for their turn.

I'm only 1/4 through and they sound really hyper talking so fast. Can't really say much as my brain is tired. Anyway thanks for posting this. I now have something more to listen to during lunch hour at work.

My Max order is in danger! My card got refused when I tried to pay for something I ordered recently--it always happens with Paypal!!

On the other hand, it's good to know I have this problem in advance. I'll have to use another card just in case. Or if the worst comes I'll have to order somewhere else IF another Max is available T_T

Now I want more Regults!! Somehow I am also hearing something whispering at the back of my head: You want those VF1EXs...You want those VF1EXs...You want those VF1EXs...You want those VF1EXs...Go get 'em

And here I thought I only wanted HMR TV Roy...

Wish List:

Tomytec 1/144 Macross Frontier Valks (all VF-25, VF-27, YF-29)

and a Vajra in the same scale

Is TomyTec owned by Bandai? If so, I want that VF-1D and those Frontier valks too.

I also want a TV Roy HMR, web exclusive or not. I missed out on the first wave (only knew about HMR while I was in Japan and by that time only the regults were left on display).

Macross 7 taught me how to enjoy valkyrie designs despite being in an awful show.

You now know it wasn't that awful as it seemed, even Gigil saw the light

Fixed.

Haha. Seriously, I was really excited when the first few episodes came up. And then things went slowly downhill. So the only one I cared about by the end was Mirage. She was always shedding a tear or two. I'm thinking of getting the 1/72 kit if I pass on the DX. Though my model painting skills are nil...

An unintended consequence of Delta's dismal 2nd half was that I wasn't drooling that much anymore over these. I imagine I'd be stressed enough not getting these if Delta met my expectations. But if they release Mirage's after I recover from the hit from HMR Miria I might reconsider...

VF-1J Max has a release date.

Good thing I made allowances for that. The trend seems to release these valks earlier. Now I was planning on having the 3rd sortie book shipped I hope they don't arrive at the same time. Last time I picked up my stuff from the post office I had to pick up 2 boxes but I was worried about getting taxed. On the bright side I only had to go just once to pick up the 2 boxes instead of twice.

I liked Emilia's singing voice more than Mylene's. Quite powerful. I think it would have been great to have more epic duets with her and Basara.
