  1. Ugh... of all the HMRs the Red Shoulder Custom and now this Turbo Scopedog are the only ones I haven't been able to get. The RSC disappeared online instantly and then never showed up on any of the US sites, and the Turbo being a P-Bandai release is going to make it damn near impossible to get.
  2. Look, if getting Disney involved is the way we can finally get all the Macross (well, almost), I am okay with it. Now we just need them to lean really hard on HG. If anyone has the material clout to wrench the rights to SDF and DYRL away from HG it's Disney. Now let's all make sure to watch everything multiple times. Send the message that we want the whole story. Let's not drop the ball folks.
  3. Anyone have an idea on a preorder date for these? I think they would look good next to the DoYusha ones I have.
  4. I will say that if anyone has missed out on a VT-1, give the sites a few minutes to catch up and process credit cards. I have on more than one occasion managed to pick a pre-order up on the rebound a little bit later by camping and waiting for someone else's credit card to get bounced.
  5. That is why I said done and done. I was sweating it as the payment screen was loaded, but when it went from "Confirm Not Paid" to "Awaiting Stock" under "My Orders" I finally relaxed a little.
  6. Done and done at Anime Export. I'm headed to bed. Good Luck to everyone!
  7. So 2:00 EST, thanks! Gonna need some coffee.
  8. So the VT-1 pre-order is tomorrow. What time local Tokyo time should we be looking for it to go up for sale?
  9. I would love a legitimate way to pay for and watch 2205 online in English.
  10. I believe that the listings on most of the sites are place holders. I remember reading somewhere (TagHobby maybe?) that the preorder date is November 10th. Has anyone had any trouble getting any of the non HMR releases? They have been readily available through most sources. The only one I think I have missed is the Zakaal from SPT Layner, and that is only because I was waiting to find one discounted.
  11. That's great. I hope this opens things up to a release here in the States. I have the previous releases, but would love to see the continuation of the story.
  12. I will buy any Combat Armors they want to produce for this line. I like everything about this line. Just need more of them! Anyone have any ideas about how well these are selling?
  13. Got my ship notice. Now let's see how long it takes UPS to get it here from Japan. I have really enjoyed the photos I've see of the GBP and can't wait to dress up my naked VFs.
  14. You have my attention. I assume it's an exclusive.
  15. While I do lament the fact that there hasn't been a Macross release in HM-R in over a year, I will say that the non Macross releases in this line are fantastic. The L-Gaim releases are amazing and as close to a Mortar Head release as we are probably ever going to get. The Xabungle, Walker Machine, Layzner, and Dougram releases are pure real robot goodness. Also, who knew that the Dragonar series was going to get such perfect toys. The #2 and #3 machines aren't out yet, but if they are as good as #1 then I believe they represent the best possible versions of those machines that have ever been made. Really looking forward to Votoms as well. Yes, I'd like more Macross in the line (finish the Destrioids already) but if Bandai's focus is elsewhere then I'm cool with it. There is not a single dud in the whole line. As a matter of fact, and this might be sacrilege, but the VF-1 Valkyrie might be the least interesting of the whole lot.
  16. Got the same email. I assume you simply reply to it as there doesn't seem to be a confirmation in the "your orders" section of their website.

    Hi-Metal R

    I just received both of the Hi-Metal L-Gaim bots. Needless to say, they are amazing. Thought I'd look around the internets and see what's shaking around the Macross Hi-Metal R world. Turns out it is just a ghost town with a couple of tumbleweeds bouncing through it. I know the DXs are the new hotness, but in a way I prefer the Hi-Metal R versions. Oh well, all good things...
  18. Like everyone else, I ordered my SSP back in June of 2019, paid my money, and started waiting. After a year I submitted a ticket and was told that they were not available from the manufacturer at the time. They offered me store credit if I didn't want to wait. I told them that I would just wait it out. Then about a month ago I received a message that my shipment was being prepared and then another e-mail telling me they shipped via UPS (or was it FedEx, I can't remember now.) Anyway, less that a week later they were here. It took forever, but they did get me what I had ordered. Would I use them again, possibly. I don't really believe the lack of product was their fault. Did they oversell? Feels like it, but who knows. The times I emailed them it took at least 24 hours to reply, but that reply was always courteous and apologetic. I have used them many times in the past and have never had a problem with anything until this. YMMV though.

    Hi-Metal R

    True, but those are the original Hi-Metal line not the R line. I forgot all about those.

    Hi-Metal R

    I agree 100%. Also, still want Max and Kakizaki 1A's from both SDF and DYRL. Those seem like a slamdunk seeing as they already have the tooling. As a matter of fact, Those 4 VFs and the remaining 2 Destroids would make the Hi-Metal Macross line complete in my book. Well maybe Milla Power Suit and a Zentradi fighter pod..... oh oh and a fan racer..... Ugh! I just made myself sad.

    Hi-Metal R

    Macross Hi-Metal R might be dead, but there are a lot of fantastic Hi-Metal R bots coming from Dragonar, L-Gaim, and Votoms. Also, what looks like a neat vehicle set to go with the Dougram Hi-Metals. https://hobby.dengeki.com/event/1110285/ If you haven't picked up the non-Macross Hi-Metal line you are missing out on some of the best robot toys of the past few years. I just recently got the Bat-Shu frum L-Gaim and it is a thing of beauty. I hope we do get some holes filled in the Macross line, but just think of the amazing stuff we have gotten already.
