MB Astray Blue Frame with updated sculpt – it's a Tamashii club exclusive release.

What's updated in the sculpt I wonder?

Very fast to sell out as usual. I assume that there will be another opportunity with international release in the near future. Glad to see so many successfully got one!

HLJ hasn't been a great website for preorders for quite some time. The ordering method is also extremely user unfriendly.

Not to mention 7 was substantially more popular in Japan... it's the second-highest rated Macross overall based on fan polling.

I'd be interested to know when that vote took place. Really surprised that M7 beat Macross Frontier... although I like M7 music more I always thought that Frontier was in the Goldilocks zone with the music and mecha action.

Movie was great from start to finish. A movie that despite being a sequel, is bigger and better than its predecessors. No character was wasted either.

Feels like a missed opportunity to not have subs while having such a great set that people are interested in getting...

So I assume the re-issue has no changes to the original? Not even box art?

I like the effort they put in for their design works. Really wish they could chogokin some of those designs. The sea wasp comes to mind...

Normally I love to hear how Arcadia has something new in the works. But after waiting so long, I'm just wishing they get the PF YF-19 done soon instead. 

Wonder will there be a premium and standard or will they just with just 1 kind?

Mid-October and still no news on an October release? Might have to be Christmas before we get it! 😅

I have a spare one I think somewhere. But I'm in Australia so that may be an issue. Let me know if you're interested.

Anime-Export has been consistent.

Think I missed out on the HLJ order.

The Max YF-29 looks sexy AF, but how long will the hips keep that pose? Maybe 3 months? Then they become loose AF. 😐

 

Not sure if it will have the legs redone like the full set YF-29 Alto version. Perhaps they stand for longer than the original YF-29's?

Would love a VF-19 ACTIVE Nothung but I suspect that's more of an Arcadia thing than Bandai...

Does that mean we'll get Book 4 and 5 in OVA form?

I feel the 30th Anniversary YF-29 would have looked better with a green cockpit and crystals shown in the initial promo. But it just wasn't to be.

HLJ went through but took a while. Thanks for the link.

Thought there was another hour before pre-orders opened. Guess they're going earlier?

Anyone know when the Metal Build Hi-Nu preorder date is? Interested but the price... wow!

Is this the premium finish or is it the standard?

So far I think Marvel has stuck out this year.  0 for 3.    Honestly, I don’t think anybody could articulate a good argument that the Eternals was good or even decent.   

I don't know, Shang Chi feels far better than some of the weaker older Marvel movies that didn't get as much vitriol or mixed reviews from others. It has pulled an impressive sum without a Chinese market while in a pandemic. Definitely over here, didn't get much marketing over here at all but still managed to do better than Eternals which had a bigger cast and more marketing to boot.

Marvel this year hasn't reached its peaks of Avengers leading to End Game but that's a hard act to follow. I'm a 1-1.5/3 for the year so far. Will be interested to see how their other ones that have previously done so well will do after End Game.

Doesn't show Macross on their website.

I just don't understand how they can claim Macross worldwide and NOT have it available online for its other Bandai locations... 😒

I'm curious how many of us here are American looking for this? If you're American, would you be able to purchase this using US Bandai?

HLJ surprisingly easy...
