Well since the two figures by the tent, look about the same size as the others, I'm sure they will fit!

Did anyone notice the Minmaii is holding a helmet?

And Hikaru and Misa are holding hands. 🥰

I can totally see myself place an LED light inside the tent to relive the bow chicka wow wow scene from the movie.

IIRC, they don't get it on until after they play house in the sunken city.

Thanks, all, for the replies.  I have always liked the design, and I was interested in getting this new release.  I will take a wait and see approach. Hopefully, it'll still be available upon release.

Out of curiosity why are some of you guys rushing to buy this knowing that there's a good possibility that the leg joint will explode?  Having read through the thread I didn't come across anyone mentioning that it has been fixed on this upcoming release.  It's what prevented me from buying it the first time around.

I noticed they're up for pre-order on Amazon US.  I wonder if they'll have any kind of price reduction at some point?  Ranka's listing has the release year as "2025"  I assume it's a typo.

I drew the line at these SD valks, but something tells me I’m gonna regret not getting them in coming years… 

I wanted to get at least the Frontier valks, but I had to prioritize some things this month to stay within my toy budget.  There're just other things I wanted more these days.  Hopefully they'll be available a month or 2 from now, and I'll pick them up then.

I'm at a point in my life where I need to spend more time enjoying what I have and less time going on the hunt.  Personally, I think the internet, in several ways, pretty much killed the hunt.

In case you were wondering.

Found on FB.

I prefer the SD Inifinity proportions better.  The canopy needs to be really bubbly and the head huge.  LOL!

I hope this is the start of an entire M7 series of valks.  Bring them all on.

Yeah, I hope they decide to a least give us repaints.  At least a Max, but I really hope for some other versions as well.

Ok, you win. It's perfectly line art accurate. Enjoy the rest of your day.

I think some of us didn't catch what you meant the first time.  You said "main guns" so I took it as the four big guns on the side.  Apparently you meant the main gun, as in the front part of the ship that splits apart to fire the main cannon.  It's one big gun.

I hope it will have an opening cockpit.  Wish they would come with little pilots like all the VF releases.  Ditto for the Regults.

Another 1/18 Ferrari F50.

1/18 Ferrari SF90 Spider x2.

1/18 Lamborghini Sian FKP 37.

1/18 1971 Datsun 240Z x2.

Did you find those at Costco?  I guess it's that time of year again.

I did find it cool that they were advertising product before the movie.  Hopefully, some people discovered merch they didn't know about before.

I think the biggest let down for me personally was the sound in my theater.  It should have felt like being in a concert.  Instead it felt like I was watching it at home with the TV speakers and the sound turned down so as not to wake up the family.

There was only 5 or 6 people in my theater.  I suppose it would have had better attendance on a weekend perhaps.  Also, there were 3 theaters in my general area screening it.  I'm hoping that had something to do with it.  In contrast the 80's Transformers movie had a pretty full theater, but that's to be expected.

While I was glad to see the Frontier movie in a theater, the movie theater yet again screwed things up a bit.  They didn't have the sound going for most of the pre-movie content.  For some reason they didn't dim the lights as they normally would for the entire viewing.  I even had to close the doors to the auditorium myself.  The sound only seemed to be coming from the front speakers, so I guess it was only in stereo.  A lot of the song scenes sounded muffled/muted, so it didn't have as much impact as it normally would.  I might make pre-emptive move and talk to the manager prior to the view of the 2nd movie.

Oh, yes!  Finally!

I asked to continue the Hi-Metal R line and complete the Zentradi, Meltrandi, and Destroid characters.  Also, for diorama type sets with stands.

I want a trailer for my Jada Nano Optimus Prime.  More Jada Nano G1 vehicles would be cool.

I would definitely buy a whole line of G1 vehicles if they were released in 1/64 scale.

This is coming out in the premium line

I just came across this image highlighting what should have been some 2020 releases.  I hope it's a covid delay and not licensing issues.

Did anyone get a response for the 1/12 consoles?  I order combo set C+D via e-mail but haven't received any response.  Is their another way to order besides going through e-mail or Facebook?

I inquired via e-mail about a total price with shipping on March 17th and he replied on the 18th.  I paid via PayPal on the 18th and he replied again on the 19th with an order confirmation.

I'm curious if anyone has some of these for army builders?  Do they fit in somewhat aesthetically and scale-wise with HMR valks?  At least for background fodder?

So currently is it only up on BBTS? I can't find it on the Caliber Wings site or Flying Mule.

Same.  I just preordered it so that I won't forget later. It's easy enough to cancel an order on BBTS if it pops up on Flying Mule which may be a better option with a preorder discount.
