    Hi-Metal R

    Fingers crossed for an HMR Super/Strike parts kit. Was looking online at the previous HM Strike parts since I'm interested and they are around the $100 mark, can't justify that price, plus I prefer the new color of the HMR parts.
  2. I need this.... would settle for HMR or 1/100 kit or somethiinggg .. haha I know its not going to happen since this never reached animation...but a guy can dream

    Hi-Metal R

    I hate having to wait always to throw money at HLJ... haha.. its like they don't want my money. I get antsy whenever I hear everyone get their's shipped out and mine is still in processing, happens a lot you would think I'd be used to it by now. EDIT: Just got payment request for Hikaru's J
  4. Those hands look about half as big as they should be. I was certain they were going to fix that prior to calling it done since it was so obvious?..

    Hi-Metal R

    Caught a wild 1J that popped up available on HLJ after I read your comments. I assumed maybe someone would have their order cancelled at processing time due to too many of the item on the order so I decided to check. Seems I was right, just waiting on the request for payment and I'll be a happy camper, its back to order stop too.
  6. Its possible but its not a fun experience which I would constantly do. Basically after I did it once I decided to not try to parts form them again out of fear that in the handling and disassembly process the pegs will break. Which is why many have suggested getting multiple sets if having all forms is a must. The have to do SuperPack versions. BRING IT! And after that, some VF-25 love!
  7. Yeti, I'm about to get a Yeti Beta stand engraved with a few accessories, looks great and I have a few Valks that I want to prop up on it. I also build a lot of MG Gundams, I saw that on your site what you offer for Gundam are limited to metal builds and PG. It would be awesome if you could provide an adapter that has the same top recessed square connection as the Bandai Action Base 1 which then would allow any MG kit to be propped up on it as well. It would also open up possibilities for the 1/72 Macross kits as well. Example of the peg I mention: - This base isn't that bad but its very basic and doesn't provide the freedom that yours does.
  8. Damn is this available for print anywhere? This would make a killing poster.
  9. This. I was cautiously optimistic that it had finally started to get better and more in tune with what a macross series should be, even if I still didn't like the whole idol group thing... but turns out thats where it peaked.

    Hi-Metal R

    Just got my payment request as well for the VF-1A
  11. Did you apply any sort of softener or anything like that or just water? Sounds like you might still have the film on it.
  12. Not a fan of Delta. Not a fan of the idol group thing either. BUT. There were a few songs which were rather good. I do need to give big big credit on their rendition of "Ai, Oboete Imasu ka" (DYRL) in their latest album release. It might just be tugging at my nostalgia strings, but I was afraid it was going to be butchered. They pulled it off really good, staying mostly true to the feel of the original while incorporating new elements and well 5 voices. Congrats to all who worked on this particular song.
  13. This... Trim Walkure to a duo (if you can't erase it completely lol) and bring back Yoko Kanno. One of the issues with Delta is it's cast is too big. A movie wont fix that as realistically they can't just cut out a part of the cast without severe public outcry and negativity towards that very action. Even if it helps the story massively. Even a retelling cant touch Walkure as thats their money making machine out of all this. Boom 5 semi-lead characters right out the bat again. I'm hoping to see a movie production come out just to see what happens. Would I want it to actually be good? Sure. I think all of us would. Will it actually be any good? Strong reservations.
  14. That canopy/cockpit looks like its shrunk down to like 70% of what its size should be relative to the plane..... :/
  15. I wonder if SATELIGHT and Kawamori are like "YEP. Nailed it!" .... I really hope thats not the case and the glaring shortcomings of the series are painfully obvious to them, only then can we hope to expect something better in the future out of the franchise whether it be movies/ova and/or any newer series altogether in the coming decade. Saw the RAW, but waiting on SUBs to understand some of the dialogue a bit better. (omg talking heads on EP 26?? really) I guess as a money making machine in the end it is extremely successful. Look at how many copies Walkure discs are selling, so this in the end turns out to be just a 26 episode commercial for Walkure Idol group merchandise (no pun to the ones who consume it , I myself will likely get a figure or two in the future because I like the character design though not really the characters themselves) and to a lesser extent mecha toys/model kits.

    Macross figures

    Well looks like it's a given that SH Figuarts is happening for Delta... If previous Idols (the real idols *ahemm*) could piggyback off the success of that line I can't complain. As a figma semi/collector the thought of Macross coming over would be amazing.

    Bandai DX VF-31

    Frontier spoiled me on armored and super packs as most of the time the VFs were seen rocking them, I love the VF-25 on its own but they just looked so war ready with the packs on. I just couldn't get my fix in DELTA.. 2 episodes with super packs.. :/ well, that's just one more thing to add to the list of the many things wrong with delta but that's another matter entirely. Can anyone make an educated guess at what are the chances of this new Hayate VF color scheme to be sold together with the super packs at a later date?

    Macross figures

    Macross Figmas... That would be pretty cool. Sheryl and Minmay would be amazing to have in Figma version, I'd even spring for a Mirage.. well one can hope.
  19. Nice, confirmation of VF-31C battroid mode/gerwalk combo. Also I assume that custom colored VF-31 is just that and wont be sold in any capacity? Looks interesting.

    Macross figures

    Glad to see Sheryl finally.. but.. not sold on that face sculpt... we'll see how it looks in color.
  21. Wow I thought it was part of the summer sale until the 30th... Maybe the fact that buying the VF-31J on sale + super packs was cheaper than buying the kit thats bundled together had something to do with pulling the sale?
  22. So glad Extra-Thin worked. Was hoping not to have to use anything heavier than that. BTW, just got a payment request at HLJ for the Super Pack set for the VF-31J. I think I'll hold off completing this build till I have the super pack kit in hand.

    Macross figures

    Hi. Its Sheryl (at least I hope since she was announced) I have the Plamax Minmay in the Private Warehouse at HLJ waiting for a few more things before shipping. Also preordered Ranka. From the pictures and reviews they look very good for being snap together model kits even without paint they seem very decent. Ideally a dab of paint here and there does help though. I actually like that they went with Ranka's style from the movies, helps her not look like a total child when placed beside Minmay and Sheryl. --- I will add that mock kits of PLAMAX Delta Walkure characters have been shown while none have been shown for Sheryl.. yet.. Fingers crossed we get Sheryl first but with the Walkure merchandise money making machine at full steam, maybe they push those out first. Hopefully not.
