  1. An updated version of the Fast Packs would definitely be nice. Maybe raise the main boosters a little bit and bring them closer together. Would also be great if the light switches were easily accessible. Curious to see what they say about everything.
  2. @jvmacross please let us know what they say about it. I am trying to put the Super Parts on my 1A standard now. The arm parts are difficult to get on because the tan paint is so thick. Also worth noting that the new leg tabs interfere with placement of the Super Parts equipped arms. The tabs are too long and too high...maybe even a little bit too far forward.
  3. I had a little better success with the Max. The various joints and hinges definitely weren't as tight as the brown one. Still can't get the backpack hinge to sit where it's supposed to. It always ends up with the back end up in the air too much. Overall looks pretty good though. I will run both of them through transformation again at a later time.
  4. My Standard and Max 1As arrived today. Very nice looking colors and they have definitely made some design improvements. The intakes attaching to the body tightly is a very welcome change. I also had some trouble with the hip joints in battroid mode as others mentioned above. Once they are in there it's solid. Unfortunately getting the brownie into fighter mode was a chore. There's a lot of binding issues where the chest plate and everything closes up behind the cockpit and I could not get it to all sit flush and tight (same with the backpack hinge). My original Roy 1S is like this but the gold and red ones were better. Going to try the Max and see if it's the same deal or a fluke. All of the paint means chipping could be an issue. I scraped a little off fiddling with transformation. Interestingly in this bright office lighting the brownie shows a few different shades of tan. Also, I really hate the neck. Overall though it's nice to see these figures continually improving. I appreciate the smaller, slightly simpler packaging too.
  5. Other than the horrendous looking neck on the 1A figures, they look great. Looks like each production run is making some nice improvements and I am looking forward to additional releases and improvements. I suggested they make Alaska Base 1A figures because nobody else has ever produced them. Thank for all the great pictures! Mine and stuck somewhere in the USPS quagmire along with some other packages that have been MIA all week...hoping they show up soon.
  6. Kitzconcept has exceptional customer service. They are always both friendly and helpful when talking to customers. This is a large part of the reason I enjoy supporting them. They also keep making improvements to their products which is great to see.
  7. I got an email this morning saying a factory problem is delaying the VF-1As another month or so. Wonder if we will even see them by summer
  8. I am not sure what the additional improvements they are describing are, but nice to see Max and Kakizaki 1A's!
  9. I got the email about the VF-1S Rick/Roy too and the balance invoice for them. Went with the surface Mail because I am not paying any higher shipping fees. Curious to see if these have further changes to them based on their Facebook page comments Looks like my reissue VF-1J and Heavy Armor just shipped too.
  10. I doubt we will really see them next year. Their releases are always 6+ months behind the initial dates announced. Maybe some prototypes will be shown in summer. That being said it will be cool to have these in 1/72 scale. They also said in some Facebook comments that the VF-1 has been modified even further. Curious to see what they have done with it now
  11. 5 total people in my Ohio theater. Me and my two friends and a couple sitting behind us. I have never seen the movie version so it added to the experience for me. I didn't realize how much stuff they added, removed, and changed from the OVA. It was definitely great seeing it on the big screen and the Kawamori message before it was a nice touch. I can't believe how many years ago it came out! My OVA version is a set of VHS tapes
  12. Is the pre-show for sure at 6:30? I can't find info on that anywhere Curious to see if there's any other Macross fans here in NE Ohio
  13. As somebody who wasn't collecting Macross when the VF-25s came out, I am excited for this one. It looks sharp and its a huge bonus if I am able to purchase it here in the US.

    Hi-Metal R

    Holy crap its so great to see news on Hi Metal R Macross stuff! The line isn't dead after all - or at least probably not dead. Count me in for buying all of the new things listed.
  15. Yeah same here. I would love to see this in theater but the single time on a Tuesday night makes it difficult
  16. So far it looks better than I anticipated and I am excited to watch it. Nothing can ever compare with the original anime, but it looks like they have put a lot of passion into it.
  17. I dig the addition of vehicles and updated paint jobs on these. Hoping we also get some new Combat Armors too. The Hi Metal R line is perfect for Dougram mecha.
  18. I added my two cents - asking them to finish the Hi-Metal R line, especially the destroids and Kakizaki + Max. Added that the non transforming figures were the best part of the line and something like a Queadluun Rau would be great too. Also told them I am looking forward to the DX YF-21 that was shown and hoping they do a DX VF-11B as well.
  19. Maybe it can include both TV and DYRL heads so it could be either one. Some of the markings would have to be generic or include stickers though.
  20. Speak of the devil ..Just got confirmation email with shipping fee request for the combo pack.
  21. I haven't heard from Okiniland about my preordered Armor Set or VF-1J w/armor yet
