Amazing times indeed. I feel quite lucky to have re-connected with Macross right now. Here's hoping the Hi-Metal R line keeps going.
-
Oh no! Well, I hope it turns up.
-
I found this earlier topic related to the original Hi-Metal line quite interesting (HI METAL LOVE THREAD - 8 pages): http://www.macrossworld.com/mwf/index.php?showtopic=36587&page=1 The last topic related post in the thread was July 2014: four months later the Hi-Metal R line was announced.

Received my VF-1S (Roy) today. The Gerwalk thruster cover was attached, however one side had popped out of its socket. It will stay firmly locked in position when completely opened/closed, but when in the process of opening/closing that same side pops out. The peg on the side that pops out appears to be just slightly shorter than the other side. A minor issue for me, but one that seems to be affecting others a bit more significantly to be sure. Also, it's the same gray as my VF-1S (Hikaru).
-
That's too bad. I know there are a lot of pieces to these things though. Hopefully it's not too prevalent an issue on this or future releases.
-
Yeah, unfortunately that's the risk some of us take with importing these. Definitely some pros & cons to be weighed. Hopefully it all works out for everyone though. Yours is only the second mention of this missing piece I believe. And, out of curiosity, how is it your fault?
-
Thanks for grabbing the picture and throwing it up here, and for the reminder to refer to jenius' site (so much good stuff there). I guess that's what I'm curious about is if the Hikaru and Roy VF-1S are the same gray or if the Roy is even darker. The promo pics from Tamashii suggest the Roy is a bit darker, but of course those are just promo pics, and the Hikaru is definitely a bit more gray (at least mine is) than their promo pics suggest. I should hopefully have my Roy in a day or two, so I can compare them then.
-
If possible, would you mind sharing a picture of the two of them side by side? I'm most curious to see the white/gray comparison. Thanks!
-
Excellent point!

Here's some info on Japan's Golden Week (essentially a national holiday for a week): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Golden_Week_(Japan) Thanks for the NY return/exchange info too. That's always good to keep in mind.
-
Their response may be delayed as it's Golden Week. Just something to keep in mind if they don't get right back to you. Also, thanks again for sharing this information. Something to keep an eye out for on future releases.

Macross Δ (Delta) - Mission 5 - READ 1st POST
RDX17 replied to azrael's topic in Movies and TV Series
Something is definitely going on with Messer. He was clearly affected by Heinz's song in episode 4 but doesn't mention it when the Walkure and Hyate discuss hearing it. I don't think he's a spy, but maybe he'll be infected with Var Syndrome as others here have said. This could lead to his death at the hands of Hyate or Mirage or he could alternately be saved by them and the Walkure and perhaps find himself a bit humbled by the experience. Whatever the case, I'm on board for the rest of the series at this point: solid animation, interesting characters and story, along with some fun music. -

Pure speculation of course, but my guess would be Arad or Chuck. I think if someone does end up a casualty it will be used in order to focus Hayate. -

RDX17 replied to azrael's topic in Movies and TV Series
I was wondering about that too. I assumed Heinz's song was causing the Var outbreaks. Maybe it's something in the translation? -
Sorry to hear this as well. Why is it that you can't contact NY and return/exchange it though?

Looks like I'm in the minority here. Definitely interested to see how the characters will change (if at all) throughout the series. -

Macross World Podcast - feedback & comments
RDX17 replied to Tochiro's topic in Movies and TV Series
Thanks to everyone involved with these Podcasts. They're truly appreciated. I've returned to Macross from a long absence and it's great to hear about all the references from earlier series/movies throughout these Delta episodes from those who have been keeping up through the years. -
You can still place a pre-order for the Glaug at MyKombini (13,990Y): http://mykombini.com/en/may-2016/3858-hi-metal-r-glaug-the-super-dimension-fortress-macross-4549660040903.html Or just keep an eye on the Hobby Link Japan page, as they might have additional stock once they've been released (13,000Y): http://hlj.com/product/BANN04090/Act

Oh yeah, temptation is already at work (looking at the new VF-1S Roy 1/60 and Delta releases). I'm definitely going to be a bit bummed if the HM-R is discontinued after this first wave though. I know the DYRL VF-1As (Hikaru, Max & Kakizaki) were previously released as Hi-Metal in 2011 or so, but a re-release would be great...in addition to the other one's they've teased.
-
Yeah, just the HM-R releases for me, so I'm hoping they keep them steadily coming.
-
I can definitely see this becoming reality if they start releasing my wish list items. A couple months between releases is probably a good thing now that I think about it.
-
That I definitely understand.
-
Thanks for the additional information. I just need to keep my anticipation in check now.
-
This is great, thanks so much. I pre-ordered a Glaug, but decided to skip the Monster and the Brownie, so I'm just trying to get a sense of what & when to expect next.
