    lol hlj limit is 1 per customer... i'm not sure who wants 2. BBTS is $299... i won't criticize BBTS for this, perhaps that is the msrp price for the US that is set by Bandai, someone must be smoking rocks or out of touch setting that MSRP

    Thanks @Graham this is illustration is the cleanest image of the VF-17. esp. the underside of fighter, seeing how wide legs could be stored underneath...

    @PointBlankSniper @Chronocidal Images of the VF-17 and VF-171 from the same video that claims the legs are the same. I can't understand Japanese so you'll have to re-confirm if you can understand native Japanese or if it's possible it was misunderstood (as i can't confirm it one way or the other with the link you provided). Anyhow, the scale comparison in the video displays the 17 and 171 vall side by side and i found a video just for the 17 and screen grabbed further images.

    Thanks @PointBlankSniper, really appreciate the link. i remember watching this youtube channel and may have posted another one of the channels video on here in the past.

    we're digressing, the whole point is what it looks like in the anime. I was responding just to one point of your comment to Chronocidal. I agree with some of your points but I wanted to debunk just one specific point. You brought up a point of the 171 and 17 have the same leg sizes and it's the CG vs. M7 art style the reason the proportions look different. I was responding that it isn't the reason the 171 looks thinner than the vf-17 by comparison of a CG VF-1 compared with M7 and SDF-1 TV/DYRL Macross depicts the VF-1 consistently, CG or not. Kawamori at the helm of all these shows he's going to make sure the VF-1 are proportionately the same CG or not. So the 171 being done in CG is not a great reason for the difference in leg size between the 171 and 17. if you can link me to the source of the material that says the 171 and 17 legs are identical in size, I'd appreciate it. (i'd like to read up and crappy General Galaxy designs) but yes, I agree with you, Bandai sucks with this one.

    I haven't looked up the 171 lore so i don't have a dispute with you there, but comparing the CG valks found in Frontier/Delta vs. M7, I'm going to call B.S. on this specific point. the VF-1 in Frontier and Delta that is done in CG looks exactly the same vs. M7, specially, the legs of the valk between Frontier, Delta and M7 are drawn identically. If that's the case in point I would think the vf-1 would be more chonky or see a difference between M7 and the later CG models. for reference: M7 Ep. 14 MacF Ep.1 Delta Ep.3

    yes, i will wait for Amazon clearance for this one... Bandai with Frontier and Delta series had good original toys designs that were created together alongside the new show from ground up to market. Good or bad, those designs were original as they were created with the anime. -designing toys retroactively for past anime, Bandai steals the majority of the designs improvements of the VF-19 and VF-1 off Arcadia's engineering revisions. -(19's sweep wings, everything off the VF-1 ver. 2 ) VF-0D's hi-metals. Bandai seems decent at copying and making it a bit better. -the Dx YF-21 didn't really have a revision to steal from and came out a mixed bag. I guarantee Arcadia, if they are still alive and had a budget, would do a much better revision of the YF-21. M7 is pretty much looks like a Redeco line up. TF generation 2 toys. Minor alterations to the 19 to make a fire valk. and the laziest Redeco, slap on a new head and some arms on a 171. WTF Bandai... this is a frontier valk. At least the isamu YF-19 was a closer cousin to the VF-19. the 171 is not even close to a VF- 17. Bandai should make a DX SDF-1 out of the Macross Quarter

    What's disappointing about the 1/28 scale is with all this talk about Robotech/Mospeada lore with the included sword for the dream episode. There is not one container of "protoculture energy" canister attachment to insert. We just see the openings. they don't have any place for it but we got a dumb sword... The coolest part of the show was the heist of the energy cells via balloons during yellow's concert. I want some balloon attachments and energy cans to trade with Jonathan Wolf.

    i had a friend who was so drawn in by the beta he, didn't come out of his room the entire weekend. He said it was amazing.

    Like the Isamu YF-29 Durandal Custom, they should've marketed this as a 171 in M7 Diamond Force custom color.

    I'm glad i ended up buying one of those high priced Yamato 17D that never went on sale from sabrina_skimpy from China.

    imagine if they sell the parts separately? like the sword striker pack? I'd get the feet and legs first and maybe the chest next...
