Always a pleasure!

Hi-Metal R VF-0D is back for pre-order from Amazon US.

Hi-Metal R VF-0D just showed up for pre-order from Amazon US.

Hello, my name is Eleanor and I am a Macross toy addict. After having finished my PhD, getting married, and having a baby, I hardly bought any Macross stuff for the past 3 years. I was doing really well, resisting the urge to buy. The pandemic slowing down the number of releases really helped on that regard. *cough* *cough* Then.... tragedy struck.... I discovered that Amazon USA now has a Tamashii Nations store.... with Prime shipping. *sigh* So, in the past month I have ordered the following from Amazon: * DX Chogokin Maximillian Jenius YF-29 Durandal (Macross Movie: Absolute Live!!!!!) * DX Chogokin Worldwide Anniversary VF-25 Messiah * DX Chogokin Hayate Immelmann VF-31AX Kairos-Plus (Macross Movie: Absolute Live!!!!!) * DX Chogokin Alto Saotome VF-25F Super Messiah (Revival version) From Amazon JP: * Hi-Metal R Roy Focker VF-0S Phoenix x2 * Hi-Metal R VF-4G Lightning III Fron RightStuf: * Hi-Metal R Shin Kiudo VF-0D Phoenix x2 Help! I think I have a problem. My addiction came back and is hitting hard! S.O.S. Shizuka the Cat

VF-0D still available for pre-order at RightStuf.... https://www.rightstufanime.com/VF-0D-Phoenix-Shin-Kudo-Use-Ver-Macross-Zero-Hi-Metal-R-Action-Figure

Is that an improvement... in terms of how they look?

Hello everyone! MEOW!!! After having been away from the Macross toy collecting scene for what feels like forever, I just dipped my feet back in. Also.... what the heck are Macross Frontier "Revival" valkyries, and how are they different from the "Renewal" versions? I am so out of the loop. Also... I miss watching @jenius do his Macross toy review videos. Did he retire from doing those? Anyways, much love! Dr. Shizuka the Cat

Came across this Macross fan film on YouTube today. I was very impressed!

I was noticing that as well. Still.... I could not resist. I ended up placing a pre-order thru Amazon.com. I had missed the original pre-order madness date for this, and after Nippon-Yasan stole my money 3 years ago for a pre-order that was never fulfilled, I at least trust Amazon.com to not f--k me over. I am kind of excited. This is like my first Macross toy order since the pandemic started.

Hello! I just noticed that Amazon.com has the HMR VF-0S Phoenix available for pre-order. Since when did the Amazon in the US start offering Macross pre-orders like this?

I am kind of in agreement with @jenius I love Macross Frontier. It's my favorite of the Macross shows. I loved the music, the spectacle, the story of the TV series. But the Macross Frontier movies? Umm... other than the spectacle, I feel like the movies did not live up to the TV series. It was so disappointing. Because of that, I am probably not going to see the Frontier movies at the AMC near me. *sigh* I really wish I could love the movies.

I wonder if this means Macross Frontier will get a US blu-ray release.... for A LOT cheaper than what I paid for the Japanese blu-ray imports.... sigh

Just saw this new article published in Forbes today. Love seeing Macross, especially Macross Frontier, mentioned in the news! https://www.forbes.com/sites/olliebarder/2022/05/22/the-macross-frontier-movies-will-finally-get-a-us-theatrical-release-this-june/

Thank you kindly. I hope to be around more often. Though, now that I have baby to care for, I doubt I can handle pre-order madness like I used to.... but we'll see. I already see a few Macross toys that came out that I am interested in.... like Armored Parts for the DX Chogokin VF-1J. But, then I think about how I need to save for Valkyrie's college education, and I just sit there staring at the Mandarake shopping cart and can't quite bring myself to click the checkout button. SIGH

Did you just say "Max's 29"? Max? In a 29? (*confused blink blink*)
