Arthurius

Oh sorry, fixed. I asked for the SAL registered. Isnt the difference between registered and non registered that there is just some tracking number vs nothing at all? Or are they changing totally the shipping method?

Lol, looks like i am not alone in feeling weak and helpless... Amiami doesnt have any slow ship method, or i couldnt see that option. I am also buying some used figma figure from them. @borgified, no, skipping the HMR VT-1. Yes, it looks fantastic in fighter and gerwalk, but for the Batroid mode, it just doesnt look anywhere near as nice as the Yamato 1/60th one, which had both the boosters higher so more visible in batroid mode, AND the antenna on the head could be moved away, not just be there straight, which made a big difference in the look of the Batroid. I'd rather save my money for some future Armour or for a TV Max for example. Too bad, cause i actually really loved the look of the VT-1 Yamato vf-1/60 v2 more than the VE-1 from the same, but just didnt carry forward for HMR.

I..... I...... I coulnt hold it ... I am weak .... I wanted to wait for potential Max goodies, but just too weak.... I hate myself.... Just ordered BOTH the VE-1 and the VF-1S Messer.... Not paid for yet, but, i will be once i know shipping. Yes, i said i didnt like the VE-1 much in Batroid, but... then i saw this asian youtube reviewer who was able to properly show off the toy, with the head tilting down and great posing in some instance, and well... i am weak... i gave in... after maybe 6 years of no official macross toys (basically since Yamato went under...). Then i was thinking, well, this VE-1 sorta goes well colorwise with that VF-1 Messer, and i could maybe use some (not all) of VE-1 armor at times on the VF-1 for fun (maaaybe), and i could give the stand of the VF-1 to the VE-1 for full stretched Fighter mode, and that I could always in the future maybe get one of those FEXTHOBBY armors if they turn out to be good for my VF-1S Messer. And so, I was stroke down by more weakness.... and I gave in again... I am just a weak old man, who needs to go hide in his cave in shame....

yea tell me about it, i can only fit 4 big Yamato valks comfortably in Batroid mode (5 will fit if i squeeze/tighter and no armor) on one billy shelf. I could fit at least a douzen more of the HMR if i wanted to probably... That said, cant live without them big yammies!!!

Does anyone know how much roughly that Nippon Yasan charges for shipping for 1 of these valks to ship to USA or Canada?

@ technoblue and Big S and hachi Oh man, just the thought of a MAX VF-1s AND VF-1A TV AND VF-1D 2 seater with miria drives me nuts with anticipation!!!! All things i missed with Yamato at the time which i really wanted!!! LOL. The Max VF-1S with super would be my #1 want right now, and then followed by VF-1A TV Max close after WITH the big glass eye. Oh man, and add that D (MAX), and we got the perfect trio. The J is good too, but i missed out, and it would be my 4th pick actually after the D max, lol But can these really happen??? ... and more importantly, can i wait?? lol

well, there is one version of the 1A i like, and that is the TV version of 1A MAX, and it should have the big glass eye like the standard brown / tan version had the second head option. Any plans for the TV version VF-1A Max? Also, on the new Super VF-1A Hi Metal R with super parts that is about to come out, i dont see the second head option with the bigger glass eye. Does anyone know if it is included? Unfortunately, the description of parts doesnt mention a second head, and no image shows it, so i have to assume NOT included. It would have made it look much better in my opinion, or at least the option would have been excellent.

Can someone help me, i am new to Hi Metal R, only had Yamato in the past... yes, it's been a while So i am thinking of getting the VF-1S Messer colors, as i found it for cheaper. It is missing armor though / or fast packs, but maybe i can wait for a future armor one day... My favorite is the VF-1s red stripe one, and then maybe super vf-1J Max (these both look the best by far), but those are now secondary market pretty much, not preorder cheaper price, so... i cant get those yet. Not interested in the VE-1 or VT-1 because i dont like their batroid mode, only their fighter / gerwalk modes. DO you guys recommend the messer repaint as only one purchase? Problem is, i aint got the cash to do a few, and have space for 1 that i want to display with my Yamato and figma figurines, or just keep at work What do you guys think are possibilities that Bandai might still do for original Macross, or that has been shown but not released yet? Or is it pretty much done after the VF-1A (dont like the head, otherwise, i would be on the new one coming out... Any help would be mucho appreciated.

Thanks, learned a few things from this, including this Super Valkyrie 2 i had never seen before, and now WANT!!!

I have been resurrected from the dead once i saw a bandai VF-2SS... Then i saw the price and died again... Been wanting a nice vf-2ss for long long LOOOOOONG time, and most i had was the bandai model. What are the repaint options? Just different stripe colors? Edit: I may have to repaint the FPs, i never like the accurate green colors, would have preferred dark blue or gun metal, at least that is what i had done with the model.

There was an ebay flash sale last night... ended up buying TW Cosmos and Badcube Grump.

Thanks, this sux for me, cause i would have liked finally giving mine an armor.

Does anyone know if the new reactor armor for Arcadia vf0 will work with Yamato vf-0?

Hey, can you pls compare this Megahouse to the Makudos from Master Made. That is the only SDF-1 i have. Built Quality, Details, value for money. They seem to be same size, and that is the size i want. How is it in ship mode together? I kinda would want to display them together in that mode. Thanks in advance

I don't have the money for this, but personally am really loving the blue they've chosen, even if not accurate.

cant wait, it looks fantastic!!! And only care about monster mode anyways, so getting exactly what I want here!!! Now the price....

Wish their facebook page was still up, so I can keep asking them questions and giving them feedback. Now, I don't know how to contact them. Anyways, I find 5" height to be on the large size, but will still consider. Would like the FPs though. Just gotta see price and if ok, decide if I get the 1S or the 1J, as I kinda want the Bandai 1/100 vf-1 too...

Looks great. Needs more guns though

Oh NOOOO, more things to bring me back into the macross toys, god damn it, I knew I should have stayed away from this website!!! Ok, so that Spartan, an armored VJ-1j maybe, a max or miria vf-1j, and maybe a regult. Would have preferred a vf-1D Max/Miria to be honest, as well as super ostrich more than the VF-1J.

Looking forward to more of these!!! I really like the little vf-1s included with the Makudos

For batroid mode, you can do like the promo pic, and split them to have them behind each leg, and problem solved!!! Anyways, i will consider this sd vf-1s based on price and reviews.

MM is still doing the Monster too for Macross. Curious to see what those 2 bots shown in shadow are. I was considering getting the Iron Factory small Magnus, and hoping Toy World was going to do Metroplex and Omega Supreme in small sizes, curious to see if this is Magnus and Metro too.

hmmm, thanks guys, so now Bandai DX line is more playable / less fragile than the Arcadia / Yamato, and yet still sleek and feels good to pose and hold.... very interesting, that seems like a win situation for Bandai.

Just curious, but is Arcadia still leaps better in quality / engineering, or are the new DX just as good? I am still in the old days of Yamato and early version of DX v2 of macross frontier after their design became much nicer looking, but no where near the quality of Yamato. Need to be updated.... Like is the VF-29, I hear a lot about it, but does it compare to Arcadia / yamato in terms of Engineering / quality / feel?

hmm, Bandai 1/60 VF-1..... hope they do the vf-1d....
