    not that I live in California, but I too never thought I would live to see the day that Macross was on the shelves in a store in the USA! Twich

    Won’t be getting the YF-29 in 1/72 scale, but they are releasing it in 1/100 from Bandai High Grade. They already released a YF-19 and have teased a YF-29 Max Custom and a YF-21. Check out the model section for more details. Twich

    China Post United StatesUSPS Destination - Sync Time: 2023-06-14 10:48:23 (GMT-07:00) Origin Post is Preparing Shipment -> We have received notice that the originating post is preparing to dispatch this mail piece. Origin - Sync Time: 2023-06-14 10:48:23 (GMT-07:00) 2023-06-14 05:21 Airline departure 2023-06-11 22:37 Airline departure 2023-06-09 08:43 Guangzhou City, has been handed over to the carrier for transportation 2023-06-08 16:45 Guangzhou, leave [Guangzhou International Exchange Bureau], next stop【Guangzhou International Exchange Station】 (via transfer) so, this is my tracking info for this item, so it seems that they are legitimately sending me *something* from China. Does not include the weight of the package, will probably have to wait until it is stateside to see. Hope this helps, as I really want a Valkyrie Factory VF-1S, not some scammers version of “F U” Twich

    As an update from that same eBay seller with my order for the 1/60 VF-1S Hikaru, mine says on flight for tracking. I am still holding out hope that I will receive a Valkyrie Factory 1/60 Valkyrie and not a Lego man! Twich

    the very obvious F-35 image with the main engine and 2 sub engines is an interesting take......I do not know of any variable fighter that has 3 engines....but I guess they were going for a "sci-fi" look. Interesting aircraft carrier with tattoo's, ala the Mandalorian captured capital ship as part of their fleet in the Mandalorian show. While the original Macross and all of its derivates will always be quintessential transforming robot show for me, I am one who always loves to see different designs, and if it means more transforming toys, that might possibly be of good/high quality, then I believe everybody wins in that scenario. Just my $.02 Twich

    Sorry, to clarify, I was referring to numbers of employees, not necessary a larger amount of talent, then Arcadia, whom we know to be a small outfit. Twich

    I guess I didn’t see the TREAD in that perspective. I didn’t look at the link, just the image. Looks pretty cool though. Twich

    Is that like a some sort of interceptor, 2 seat version of the LEGIOSS? It reminds me of the larger wing area of the VF-0C/D. I have a question, why is the landing gear out, and why is there a landing gear right there? It should be on the legs and the nose, not the crotch. That is weird. Twich

    I saw it yesterday in the theatre, despite 2 power outages and the sound being gone and several rewinds of the film, but I really enjoyed it and my 14 year old son was in awe. I have some reservations on some of the statements and themes, but in todays society I guess it is par for course, and I want to avoid political conversation like the plague. As someone hinted, there are definite signs that this could be the beginning of a larger cinematic universe. Which, if it gets us more transformers movies. Twich

    Just remember that the member Xiegfried made a 1/60 VF-9 variable fighter in resin, and that was nicknamed the origami fighter. With the vastly superior monetary and work force that Bandai has, it would probably be an easy job for them. Heck, they already went to the trouble of prototyping it. As for Arcadia, they also do what others have suggested and improve on the existing mold from Yamato, granted that they purchased that mold. Twich

    It looks like the Armored VF-1J has too many joints in its legs……I agree with your statement of that picture….whoa! Twich

    Animego did the SDF Macross release from the early 2000’s, didn’t they? I still have a copy. What does HD transfer mean? It was made in early 90’s, was HD even a thing then? Twich

    I received shipping notification, so who knows. I have my fingers crossed, last time I tried to buy a Valkyrie factory Valkyrie, I got a Lego man instead. Twich

    I took the plunge! This is the best price I have ever seen. Twich

    I am impressed with the ability to get those tiny little stickers/waterslide decals on to your toy. I am old and my hand is not steady enough, nor do my eyes possess the acuity to be able to see that small detail. That is indeed a good looking VF-25F Messiah! Twich

    I am very excited about the prospect of New Macross Animation! It has been 7 years since the last series and 2 years since the last movie release from that series. The thing that I would like is for there to be more mecha! Of Course!, but give information about those mecha. I don't know if I am in the minority, but I would like full mechanical briefs on the mecha! I am still waiting for a conclusive breakdown of the mecha from the last movie, the VF-31AX Kairos Plus, SV-303, Super Ghost Boosters/drones. Also, I know this was a part of Variable Fighter Master File, but if it is cannon, give information on what the plans were for the VF-31X! What sort of performance and stats would we see by adding 2 more thermonuclear reaction engines to the VF-31! Also, since it is going to be tied to Bandai, Dont be stingy on the releases of the DX Chogokin/Hi-Metal R releases for the series! I like the physical representations of the valks! Twich

    Oh my goodness, I thought I could detect some Zeta Gundam designs in there! It is as if a VF-1 and a Zeta Gundam had a secret love child. Then there is the other 2 variable mobile suits from Zeta Gundam.....the gaplant and the Messesla(sp?). that takes a great deal of time and dedication to do that, is this a magazine publication, or is this a customizer doing custom add on parts for a VF-1S?

    Sv-303 Vivasvat

    I too would rather enjoy a SV-262Ba Mirage Custom, might as well dream and have it come with the Lil’ Drakens too! Twich

    They teased the Bogue SV-262Hs Bogue custom, but it hasn’t been officially set for release. Twich

    Sv-303 Vivasvat

    twich replied to sjoebarry's topic in Toys

    I would like both a SV-262Ba and SV-303 to be made by Bandai in DX format, but I would even settle for a Hi Metal R version, as long as it is made! Twich

    Some people’s skill with CAD and 3d printers amazes me! Good Job! Twich

    My Alto VF-25F from BBTS arrived today. I am impressed with it and really enjoy my initial experience with it. I have a confession, I have never had fast packs for a VF-25 before. I don’t understand why some of the things that come off to be replaced by the exact same thing have to happen, but I can now say that I have. With as fidgety as it was to get the legs, wings, arms and friggin shield to play nice together, I cannot imagine trying that with an armor pack, though if they release a box set with the VF-25S and Armor Pack, I will definitely want that for sure. sorry for the ramble, just happy about finally getting this Macross Jet! Twich

    oh my goodness, this just makes me want to rush out and buy all of these kits to satisfy my fixation on making Gundams and collecting Macross jets! The best of both worlds! Twich

    you are most likely correct sir! Twich
