Ummm.... I have a question. I had pre-ordered the DX Chogokin VF-25G Super (Revival version) from Amazon.com (with the seller being Amazon) and my order info used to say it would be delivered November 16, 2023.... which never happened. Now it gives no expected date and just says "Not Yet Shipped. We will email you when we have an estimated delivery date." So I was wondering.... when was/is the actual release date for the VF-25G Revival? Did other people who ordered from Amazon.com have the same issue? I guess that was 2 questions. Anyways, thanks in advance, and Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

Must... resist.... Argh! I just placed an order with AmiAmi.

I wonder if this will show up on the Amazon US site, like the DX Chogokin VF-25 Worldwide Anniversary version, the VF-25G Revival version, and so on.

Nice! Any noticeable difference between the Revival version and the original release?

Oh wow... does anyone know what scale this is? How does it compare to valkyries made by Arcadia, Bandai, etc?

Wait... wait... I just got an email from BBTS talking about the DX Chogokin YF-19 pre-order. Didn't that come out years ago? (looks in closet) I own it.... and the Arcadia version.... and the Yamato version. So.... umm.... can someone fill me in on what is up with this DX Chogokin pre-order? A reissue? Any improvements over the original DX Chogokin release? Sorry for the inconvenience. The baby keeps me pretty busy and I am not keeping up with Macross toy releases very well. Thanks in advance! -Shizuka the PhD Mommy Cat

The VF-25G pre-order from Amazon.com is no longer available.

DX Chogokin VF-25G is now available for pre-order from Amazon US for $280 with free Prime shipping. Now I really regret my BBTS pre-order.... sigh.

Very true! Definitely removes some of the stress that "Pre-order Madness" used to bring.

Just showed up on RightStuf for pre-order.... Darn it... now I regret the pre-order I did at BBTS... sigh. RightStuf is $18 cheaper and does not require a $29 non-refundable deposit the way BBTS does.

Thanks! Just placed my pre-order, since I missed out on pre-ordering thru AmiAmi, HLJ, AmazonJP, CDJapan, etc.

YAY! I have missed these! Is this Renewal or is this Revival version?

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/
