Ah, thanks!

Just a quick question: The magazine exclusive version came with the fan racer (though I'm not sure if it was a separate package or in the Angel Bird's box.) Does this Angel Bird has it?

Personally, I'm one of those who hate exclusives because they normally cost an arm and a leg to get, so I'm very happy the HK sellers and HLJ managed to get a few to sell to us poorer souls who can't otherwise afford it.

I had the same problem with the version 2 tips reacting with the paint. This happened when I put my V2 1/60 Super VF-1A Hikaru on it. At that time I thought it was because the paint job wasn't exactly cured complete and the pressure on the silicone caused it to liquefy somewhat. Seeing the posts now, maybe not, but rather the tips reacting with teh paint. Anyway, since have placed the tips on non painted parts and so far so good.

It wasn't a blink and you miss it thing. The PLUS episode is a backstory of Gamlin's training before he made it to the Diamond force. Millia was the instructor with her red VF-11 for Gamlin and the rest of his cohort. Only appeared in this episode though I will buy it if it comes out, but I could wait for this to come later though... The main Mac 7 valks should come 1st (VF-19 F/S/P, VF-17, even the whaling VF-1A and VT-1C from Mac 7 Dynamite! lol~!)

Paid for my invoice from hkcollectibles! Can't wait for it and the Angel Bird to come!

Nice. Totally digging the pilot, though and additional version of him in his band outfit would be icing on the cake

:D :D :D :D Fantastic!!!

Pre-ordered both this and the Angel Bird

As always, nice job!

Pre-ordered from Hkcollectibles.... missed the 16% off, but 12% ain't too bad too.

Grabbed the 1/24 Patlabor CLAT... at 65% off, it is just too good of a deal to pass up. Also grabbed (an extra) 1/60 CF

Nice.... though as with the Regult, its a shame it won't see mass production

Looking real good! I believe this is the 1st time I am looking at a fan render of a GBP-1, and it looks really nice too!

Regarding Yamato sponsoring a Macross anime.... well, I always thought this should be the way for Yamato: Best form of advertisement for Macross toys.

What he said. However, I would vote yes, just to get it for novelty's sake. The main factor would be price actually. On a related but separate note: I would be be all over "Macross the 1st"'s 1D just for the nice head sculpt

Seems it won by a landslide too! Quoting from the site: "Apparently the SDF-1 is so awsome it couldn't be contained to winning just one category of voting. You the readers not only voted it best Macross/Robotech toy of the year it also took Best High End and the Best of the best, Toy of the Year 2010. WE found the fit, finish, quality of materials and painstaking detail to be well worth the price tag and apprantly fans and collectors around the world agree as Yamato sold out of all of its stock of this $330 toy within days of being released."

I haaaaaatttttttte you!

Yes, to me, a TV accurate red is best, but since it has to be different, then the darkest shade available is preferred.

I prefer TV version or the darkest shade of red shown.

Looking good

Nope, you seriously don't need the 1st ever TV Roy VF-1 complete with the 1st ever TV Roy 1/60 figure

The fact that some of these guys are repeatedly going on sale, means there are problems clearing current stock. Thus reissue will seem very unlikely, at least not in the near future. Your judgement call.
