Yes, to have VF-1s become prolific is a good thing; even if many of us have all the VF-1s we can take (I'm not there yet, though).

Seeing some store shelf space occupied by Gundams feature more Macross would be wonderful to behold.

This right here: "Seeing some store shelf space occupied by Gundams feature more Macross would be wonderful to behold." This would be amazing and isn't asking much. Yes Gundam is popular but there's a hunger for Macross out here that isn't getting fulfilled.

HMR Megaroad when.

Nice! I may have to pick this up since I was on the fence about it previously.

Yeah no thanks. As sexy as it is I can get nice looking VFs/YFs for half that. LOL

Yeah, I only cited the KOs as existing and being a potential threat, but an Arcadia 1/60 is a must have. I'm glad to own a couple.

There are KOs of Valks? I mean I shouldn't be surprised, just haven't ever come across any online.

It actually doesn't. There are some popular items that sell out instantly and are in high demand but when we say "high demand" Macross, that number probably tops out around 10k, 20k maybe at most for the top items. While they probably have other items that can easily double to 10 times that amount. Obviously, I don't have actual numbers but I think I have a fair estimate based on how I've seen the market move in the last couple decades. I love Macross Valks more than any other toys but the passion of a relative few does not dictate business moves by one of the biggest toy manufactures in the world (Bandai is only 2nd to Lego last time I checked?).

Hmmm, I suppose I see what you mean. It just stinks that there's so much potential from all Macross universes for merch and hardly anyone other than those in Japan can get to it.

Of course not. The market for all the other franchises Bandai deals in dwarfs the demand for Macross. They aren't going to produce a bunch of shelf warmers and take up factory resources when they can get sell outs in higher quantities from other brands.

I'm not expecting them to line shelves at Walmart, but the demand for Macross merchandise far exceeds their supply. That's my point. Can they not do something about that?

Wow, not available until the end of the year? Geez. Oh well, still a good price.

Bandai Namco is bigger than Hasbro.

Seriously? So what keeps them from churning out Valks left and right to vendors? Do they not have the market to do so?

Man. I wish Bandai were as big as Hasbro and the like so they could churn out pallets of awesome Macross toys on a regular basis. 🙁

I haven't been paying attention on that but I think the WWM logo is on the box no matter where you buy the toy from, Japan or abroad. 

That would make more sense.

They're available at lots more stores so less pre-order madness.

Ah got it, thanks. And I assume the WWM logo on them is the only difference?

So can someone tell me what makes these WWM versions better than the others? Other than the fact they say WWM on them. 😛

It's a licensed work, not "Disney vault" fodder... it's much more likely that they'll be using the streaming release to promote the Blu-rays the way Crunchyroll has been doing for its subs/dubs.

This is most likely correct.

I want Bandai to prove they can De-Waldo Basara.  

Or how about a button that plays his most popular phrase? "Ore no Uta o Kike!!!" You'd have to wear it out for an accurate portrayal to match how often it's said in the series. 😆

That’s the best part of the dub. That and when Hikaru is so saddened by Roy dying that he calls Roy by his girlfriend’s name

It would be cool if Disney Movie Insiders has this poster available with their points.

If it didn't say Disney+ I'd love this poster.

He say it like “mEEEanmAY!!!”, but it was totally Roy

The Zentraedi at the beginning are pretty hilarious as well 

HAH! You're right, I hear it now. XD And yes, they were. Britai especially.

LOL!! So THAT'S what he said. I never understood it. 😆

yep, that's how it starts, some small streaming rights, but before you know it, little old Mickey will have his paw mitts all over Misa and Sheryl.  After all, how much is HG worth?  Probably pocket lint as far as Disney is concerned, and Disney needs content.  If they thought they could get away with it, they'd buy Sunrise too. 

They touch Misa they ded. 😡

Regardless whether you like him or not, DC has been right almost every time on everything. But no, he hasn't said anything on the Macross/Disney stuff.

Me sitting here waiting in the abyss for a PC version to release. 😐

Yes, Goofy is definitely Kakizaki.
