    So they are really vintage stuff... Awesome to see that design in 1988, and the size of those jets! Something we'll hardly see today unless it's some Haslab or kickstarter-type release.

    Haha ok I re-read my post, it sounds like I was really stating the obvious on the VF-19, but I was having the Yammie v Arcadia YF-19 in mind when I wrote that. It's just I met some casual collectors who thought they are the same molds & only insist on the DX YF-19, and I can see their confusion even if Arcadia's have already been out a long time. I brought out my Arcadia YF-19 once and the look on one's face was priceless when they realise how the new mold was superior in every way to the Yammie.

    Very cool, at first I thought the one the right is a Darkstar from Top Gun Maverick. Threw me off because of the pseudo-F-14 beside it lol. After looking it up, am only realising now it’s an X-19. Are these the same as below video & really vintage items?

    The differences between the HM and HMR reminds me of the Yammie vs Arcadia YF-19. Individually they look similar but look very different side by side. And all doubts on differences immediately dispelled the moment one picks them up in hand.

    Thanks for the comparison. Ace Toyz weight being much more substantial is quite surprising, seeing how Bandai's already pretty heavy. I don't have Ace Toyz version, just Bandai's. I keep thinking Ace Toyz version is smaller even in the second comparison video, but on rewatch, the size is actually the same. I too am leaning to the light up features, which I'm usually impartial to as electronics in toys are usually more trouble than they are worth. The good thing is the on-off switch can be accessed easily. And now learning about the weight also tips me over to it as well - nothing like a good old school gokin-type feel sometimes. I didn't plan on getting this, but now I just might!

    Don't have a Switch, but got this just for the Terry figure.

    Ace Toyz' was out since middle last year, and it felt like they were only available mostly in Asia. Sold out at most places but here's one from Hong Kong that shows in-stock: https://robotoybase.com/index.php?route=product/product&product_id=7024 Comparison between Bandai's and Ace Toyz:

    Of all the Bayformer movies, original 2007 bots are the ones that make the most impression to me.

    Not sure when it started, but KC is having a spring sale. Many of their valks and figures are on heavy discount again. https://www.kitzconcept.com/index.php?route=product/special

    He’s on a roll, this time with a VF-25F: A few pics from the link:

    In the same interview with Mr. Tsutomu Terashima of the HMR VF-19 Kai, here is the part where he discusses the Tiny Sessions YF-19 & VF-19 Kai (please use browser translation): https://hobby.watch.impress.co.jp/docs/interview/1577662-2.html

    https://hobby.watch.impress.co.jp/docs/interview/1577662.html Interview with Mr. Tsutomu Terashima, from Bandai Spirits Collectors Division (apparently also involved in the DX Chogokins) - please use browser translation. I find it interesting because there never was any interview with anyone within Bandai before for our Macross toys, at least not in recent memory. Couple of notes: 1. It will be matte, instead of glossy like the old HM. 2. New sound booster is likely to be made, but not actually confirmed yet.

    Love the way you did this pose. Based on what you are saying it came out really well! BTW, what's that blue ship on the shelf below, at the bottom right in the 2nd pic? Looks interesting..

    Got one at Nin-nin due to best price & flexible payment + shipping. Site was laggy as heck though, had to keep adding & re-adding to cart, but finally got through.

    Didn't order one, as I have no modelling skills.. but can't help feeling excited for folks who have ordered; it's been a most requested item for very long time. Congrats to @captain america for the good response.

    Yamato Priss & Motoslave metallic ver is the best toy to me, and I do wish they Yamato had updated the rest to metallic versions as well. They are not perfect, but those are the only figure + bike toy sets that were released, and so far Arcadia hasn't mentioned a peep about them. They come up very rarely over Mandarake, but somehow they do show up semi-occasionally at YAJ (that's how I completed my sets not that long ago). Perhaps check over at Suruga-ya JP as well as an odd set might pop up now and then. At this stage, it's safe to say the Figma ones that were previewed something like 5 years ago are dead.

    Congratulations & it is a very nice toy. I've not transformed it yet, but from reviews it is one of those rare toys where the judicious use of diecast doesn't seem to compromise sculpt, stability or strength of the joints. Perhaps move on to get the Proto-Garland as well...
