  1. Chobham Armor set now available at NY: https://www.nippon-yasan.com/figures/26932-robot-damashii-side-ms-rx-78nt-1fa-ver-anime-full-armor-equipment-limited-edition.html Pre-ordered together with the Kampfer, although had to pay upfront due to the no pay later option on the Chobham Armor. Now waiting for the pre-orders for the Robot Damashii 0083 Gundams.
  2. Are you going for the entire Iron Legion, Noel? The only Iron Legion suits that I'm interested in are the Silver Centurion and possibly Heart Breaker. Maybe the Mark 9 too, if Bandai decides to make it.
  3. Yes, the 30th d Shudista b Box is the one with english subtitles.
  4. Package from NY came today! With these, my SHF Iron Man and War Machine Collection is almost complete! Just waiting now for the release of Iron Man Mark I and War Machine Mark IV. I can't wait to set up my very own Hall of Armor!

    Hehe, I can almost hear you speaking in Japanese Graham! "Wake ga wakaranai kara, hen ni nachatte!" SPOILER WARNING FOR THOSE WHO HAVE NOT SEEN THE DELTA MOVIE!

    Bandai DX VF-31

    If the new Lildraken pack does come with the adapters for the VF-31, then that makes it a pretty tempting offer. One reason I'm holding back from buying it is because I thought you needed the movie version VF-31F for the adapters. Also, I'm somewhat tapped out for now and can't afford to get them since NY has no pay later option for them. Times like these, I wish HLJ also had access to exclusive Tamashii products.

    If Bandai does have the armor pack for the Kairos planned, I hope they release Arad's custom 31A Kairos first. That's the combo I have in mind.

    Bandai DX VF-31

    In the final episode of the TV series, the surviving members of Delta plattoon all had reaction missiles equipped with their super packs. So its reasonable to expect that Chuck's DX might come packaged with reaction missiles as well. Note that only Arad and Hayate's 31Kai valks came with the missiles packaged. Mirage's valk did not come with the missiles, but the latter were packaged with her super pack. The question now is if Arad and Chuck's supers will still be released, given that Bandai chose to show off the armor pack first.

    Bandai DX VF-31

    Okay, now I'm getting confused. In the illustrated cover of Macross Delta's Blu ray, Chuck's missile covers colors are matched with his valk (like the rest of Delta platoon), while Arad's retains the red orange color, although its much lighter orange. I know the illustration is not canon (at least for now. Maybe the armored Delta platoon will make its debut in the next Delta movie), but it bothers me that Arad's would be the only one whose armor packs are not properly color coded to his valk. (You know you've become a true MWorlder once you start nitpicking about a valk's color. )

    Bandai DX VF-31

    Sooo, I was looking intently at the pics of the DX VF-31 armor pack on Arad's ride, and was getting more and more bothered by that bright orange color on the missile covers. So much so that I went back and checked the screencaps from the movie. It seems that the actual color used is more red orange rather than bright orange. Also, the missile covers on Chuck's armor is olive drab! I really didn't notice that before: I hope that Arad's super pack is still in the pipeline for Bandai. I like the custom color matching of the supers better than the armor packs, although I'm really an armor fan at heart.
  11. I've been lurking this thread from time to time to see if there's any new info or announcement of the new Macross series. So there's no news at all? I understand there's going to be another Delta movie instead?

    Bandai DX VF-31

    And another two to three months for his super and/or armored pack to come out. Hehe!
  13. Whoa! Are those 3d printed and hand painted? Reminds me of those Japanese craftsmen who do engravings on raw rice grains and make micro sushi out of single grains of cooked rice.

    Still no news regarding preorder and release dates for Arad's armor and Chuck's ride?

    Hi-Metal R

    I'm pretty disappointed that Arcadia did not do the VF-4 in Flashback colors before Bandai. I had wanted to get it in 1/60 scale. That's three missed opportunies already Mr. K! But please do still consider re-releasing the Elintseeker and Super Ostrich in 1/60. In the meantime, those collecting Bandai's HMR can enjoy this latest release.

    Bandai DX VF-31

    Bumping these pics up for comparison with the pic from Macross Mecha Manual. The more I look at it, the more the orange seems in-congruent with Arad's color scheme. For me, the covers should have been the same color as the red on the shoulder armor.

    Bandai DX VF-31

    It seems that the missile covers are indeed a shade of orange, through not as orange as with the actual toy. For some reason, my mind remembered it as red. I still wish it were the same shade of red as the one used in Arad's valk. The orange looks out of place to me.

    Bandai DX VF-31

    It says Walkure is unstoppable! Still trying to decipher the rest. It does have the words Armored in the text body so I guess its explaining the release dates?

    Bandai DX VF-31

    Yay! Armor parts and Chuck's 31E! I'm all in for both! But...what's Arad doing with Chuck's armored pack?

    Bandai DX VF-31

    Hehe, I don't mind it being a TWE release, Noel. Being one of the few that didn't preorder the 31A, I missed out on the frustration of waiting a year for the order to be fulfilled. Hopefully, lightning won't stike the same place twice.
  21. Seeing the Hot Toys re-issue of the Mark 44 Hulbuster with Deluxe Parts, how I wish Bandai would have gone all the way and released a renewal deluxe Figuarts x Chogokin Mark 44 that could fit a Figuarts Mark 43 inside, or at least even an opening chest gimmick that had a Mark 44 bust inside. That ain't going to happen I suppose. Sigh.

    Bandai DX VF-31

    If we're lucky, Bandai has the VF-31A Arad Custom down the pipeline somewhere, along with the 31A Armored Parts from the Movie. I'd be up for the pre-order madness for that.
  23. Got my first Metal Build in the form of the Gundam F91, plus its MSV Option Parts! The MB Eva-01 would have been my first, but I just couldn't resist getting the F91, especially after seeing a good deal on Mandarake Nagoya for the set. It also makes sense that this would be my first MB, since F91 was the first Gundam that I ever watched. Down the rabbit hole we go!

    Bandai DX VF-31

    VF-31S Arad Custom all day! Just wait till they release the Armored Pack for it.
  25. Too bad NY doesn't have a private warehouse option like HLJ. Then again, that might have been a conscious decision on NY's part, knowing they can earn a little more from separate shipping charges. No pay later items cannot be combined with other orders either. Sucks for us unfortunately.
