Nice!  

By the way, Cap. Quick question. Would you be able to make another version of the Gallant with the buttstock but without the muzzle just like what Ley carries? Assuming that the muzzle part is built-in rather than removable. Thanks in advance.  

Funny that this is the first time I'm going to receive 2 brand new DX Valks in a month. Even though one of them is already 4 months old. 

Just waiting now for NY's shipping notification.

YESSSS! Preparation in progress for me too!!! Woohoo!!! 

Curious. I don't have any Calibre Wings plane models. But looking at this VF-1's prototypes, is that how deep the panel lines is on their other releases?

He used the saddle-bags from the Imai 1/12 plastic model.

Thanks Captain!

If you look father down the thread posted for the zeta, you will see saddle bags for the new ride armor.

This is not official, right? It's someone's custom saddle bags?

I dug around a few proxy services, and I found that they will help you get an item only if the item is from an ONLINE shop, which the Gundam Base unfortunately doesn't have (I think).  I haven't read up on Buyee, however.  I'll definitely look them up, and I'll keep on digging.  Thanks for your suggestions!

You're welcome. Don't lose hope though. Japanese people usually put something (everything collectible related esp exclusive) on Yahoo Japan Auction that offers those services. Though you have to search thru Buyee or FromJapan.

Gundam Base Keyword Search for Sazabi at Buyee and FromJapan:

 http://buyee.jp/item/search/query/ガンダムベース サザビー

https://www.fromjapan.co.jp/en/item/search/ガンダムベース+サザビー/

Right now, there's two available with Buy it now option for Y21500 and Y21600. Good luck!

Is this the one you are looking for?

That one is kind of confusing since the picture is Sinanju and not Sazabi.

And it’s gone. People are really thirsty of Kairos.

Let me guess. The setting is probably Budapest.

I felt like watching something non mecha for a change so I watched the first season of City Hunter. It's one of the most 80's shows I've ever seen, the episodes can get a little samey at times but it's a good show overall. City Hunter is good at riding the line between silly antics and serious drama. I'm not feeling up to watching another 50 episodes of season 2 right now but maybe I'll watch a couple of the movies.

Are you also planning on watching City Hunter starring Jackie Chan? 

This is the first I think I’m going to share on this thread. I’m currently watching Lupin III Part V series and Captain Tsubasa (2018).

The first story arc of Lupin III Part V is great. The characters doesn’t feel old esp when they incorporate current trends and tech gadgets. They show how powerful social media is right now in the first arc. And I still love staring at Fujiko.  

I liked Captain Tsubasa since 1983. I read the manga and watched the anime series. Though I didn’t get the chance of continuing the series when we left Japan in 1985 but I do get to watch the updated (remake) series back in the 2000’s with the Road to 2002 series. And now watching the 2018 remake series, makes me wonder. If Captain Tsubasa can do remake with new artwork for new generation, why can’t they do it with Macross? I’m pretty sure I know the definite answer to this but it does really makes me wonder.

After all picking up all those Metal Build Gundams recently, I decided I needed an RX-78 to go with them. Not having one would be like having a Macross collection without a VF-1! 

Nice! Now you're making me want one too. I know this is the best solid RX-78 figure to collect but I'm still not sold on the overall re-design of it. Guess I have to wait until he finally shows up in the next Gundam The Origins installment.

By the way, does this one comes with a stand like the Metal Builds figure? Or it only comes with a platform kind of base?

Could anyone share some tips on how to get a limited kit from the Gundam Base?  I'd like to try getting the new candy coated Sazabi that was released this month, but the usual retailers can't help me this time.

Is this something you have to be in the physical Gundam Base store in Tokyo to obtain it, correct? Probably it's best to ask members who's in Japan at this moment. And just pay their service fee. Or email proxy site and ask if they can get it for you like CDJapan, FromJapan, or Buyee.

Just when you think you got them all and is ready for the armor pack.

BAM!, 5 sets of armor packs shown on the blu-ray cover. 

Bandai, are you telling us to be start saving!?  

Nah. Bandai is just telling us how screwed we are for their plastic creations. Hahaha!

Sorry...but that's what Tejin $ortie books are for...

Where's my Fouth Sortie book??? 

That's true. In all its full color glory sans logos, labels, and whatnots. 

So even though I don't collect HMR besides the few I have, there's the Sortie book to fill my Macross addiction. 

Point taken. And I do agree. It's just a wonder why they need to put it in the artwork even though it's not featured in the movie.

Checkout the armor parts on the Blu Ray cover 

Wonder if we’ll get DX versions of these. Would def order some woot

Looks awesome! Even though I still don't get that 'ring holder' wing design.

Anyways, at this point I'm not sure if I'm going to get every Armor. I'm pretty sure I'll get one for Arad's 31S. If there will be no Super Parts for 31A and it will be just an Armored Pack, I'll get the Armored Pack instead.

It is a black and white photo of the vf-1a

Yeah, the black and white strip is a neat artsy box art design used for most of the HM-R Valkyrie releases. Props to @jenius again for the images.

Messer's VF-1S, Sylvie's VF-2SS, the HM-R Destroids, and all the non-Macross HM-R releases (I think), have full color box art images.

Thanks guys! I didn't notice it at first that it was a black and white photo of the item itself. I do agree that it would be nice if the whole Tenjin image bleeds to where the black and white image is.

I finally got one of my favourite Hi Metal R figures in the mail today, took me 2 months to find one at a reasonable price, thankfully all the super parts are correct.

 

 

Nice!

Regarding the boxart, I’m curious. Is the image behind the window panel area a black and white photo or a pic of a black skull squadron heat shield VF-1?
