I think this is probably the main reason for their current scarcity and price. The VF-1A mass production is in a similar situation. If we’re talking about the missile Regult set, those were originally a limited edition, making them more rare.
-
Agreed, fighter mode on the VF-4 is beautiful. That’s likely where mine will stay, since I’m not as much of a fan of it’s battroid mode. Interesting to note that based on @sh9000‘s photo above, the VF-4 appears to be the longest HMR valk released so far.
-
Does it feel like there may be a need to initially be careful so as not to break any joints? The VF-1 shoulders tended to be really tight and needed to be turned slowly until they loosened up a bit.
-
So is 60+ hours a fairly normal length of time for this game? Seems like a nice long game, especially with multiple paths to choose. I’m probably going to pick this one up — and add it to the ever growing backlog.
-
I’m also surprised that Max is the next DX VF-1, but glad to see that they are sticking with TV for now and working to build Vermillion. I agree with @Convectuoso that they should have already made this in HMR. They have to do a DX Roy 1S at some point, and I can wait.
-
@Gundam@EFSF - that’s a very helpful size comparison with other HMR VFs. I’m looking forward to getting mine. Thanks to @sh9000 for hooking me up.
-
^^ Packed in fighter mode as expected.
-
Agreed. It is pretty cool to look at. Personally I'd pass on buying, but I can't help but think that this is exactly the Super VF-1S set that I keep hoping Bandai will release in HMR. I still consider getting one of the original 1/55 sets (the Bandai reissue, not the Takatoku original).
-
I agree with your guess. I think there’s a chance Rondo and Symphony could be on there, since Requiem wasn’t released for the Switch. And given the Gameboy games, I think GBA could be a possibility. I guess it depends on how retro they want to go, and I suspect they’ll lean toward the older titles. Since I have physical copies of most console Castlevanias and Contras, the arcade titles are more interesting to me, since there hasn’t really been a good way to play those legally.
-
Having a PVM to play it on probably doesn’t hurt, either. I may have to check this one out.
-
Good to know. I'll have to keep that in mind. Cool. Have you ever played the original Front Mission for Super Famicom? That's the only one of the series I've played, unless you count Gun Hazard.
-
I noticed that, too. Whatever the motivation, it’s nice to see.
-
At this point, I’d be happy with just one Tomahawk. Please, Bandai?
-
Nice. I think you officially have more Monsters than the SDF-1.

I also really liked Adventure of Link and still do. I think it's mostly people who didn't experience it at first and look back on it now as being so different from practically every other Zelda game. It's still a bit of an oddball in the series. It also has a few things that make it rather difficult in parts, which I think frustrates people. Sunsoft also made Fester's Quest, which was (in my opinion) not a great game at all, but did have some amazing music. Yeah, I think that was me. I was trying to figure out what I might use for speakers if I got a PVM, which didn't work out. With my tiny space, limited budget, and interest in retro things, I'm currently using an old pair of small Sony SRS-67 speakers I used to use with my Discman back in the day. They're not amazing, but they definitely sound better than the internal speakers on my consumer CRT. I also have a pair of the smaller SRS-57 which are more compact but don't sound as full.
-
I’ll put it this way. When I got into Macross a few years ago, I bought one HMR (thanks in part to @jenius) then quickly realized I needed 3 for the various modes. Now, including the original Hi Metals, I have over 20. Their price and size make them so easy to collect, in my opinion.
-
@Lolicon — great work once again. It looks fantastic.
-
Zelda 1 and 2 remake would be great. The new Links Awakening remake gives me hope that it could happen, though I can’t see them doing it as a 2D 16-bit style at this point. There is the 16-bit BS Zelda Satellaview version of the first game, in case you weren’t aware. Zelda 2 was so polarizing that I don’t know if they’d be willing to revisit it. And @Black Valkyrie — Journey to Silius is a cool game, if a little on the difficult side for me. Sunsoft really rocked the NES era with some solid games and killer soundtracks.
-
Great, really appreciate it. I figured it would be coming soon.
-
The VF-4 box art looks nice. Partial gerwalk doesn’t surprise me, since it seems HMR valks always appear as close to battroid as they can get, but designs like the VT-1 and VF-4 are so iconic in fighter that they leaned toward that mode for the art. And isn't this the first HMR valk that doesn’t have a window in the box where you can see the actual toy inside? Maybe this one will be packed in fighter mode (makes sense to me) instead of battroid for a change.
-
I’ve heard of Mars Matrix, but haven’t played it much. My bro was the one with the Dreamcast, and he still has his Mars Matrix copy. I have Ikaruga, and it’s a beautiful game, though I never got that into it.
-
VF-4 available at NY for Y15500 https://www.nippon-yasan.com/26613-hi-metal-r-vf-4-lightning-iii.html
-
Great poses and pics, @sh9000 and @Darotower! Nice to see people having fun with their toys.
-
I really hope the 1S Roy is a TV version to go with the recent Hikaru 1J. Assuming it’s likely they will issue the valk with no added parts, I think it’d be odd if they make it a DYRL version but not include strike parts. I know Arcadia did it once, but a movie Roy without strike parts just feels wrong.
-
I have the same question. Even without customs, he has enough pieces to put together some impressive armies.
