electric indigo Posted September 11, 2013 Posted September 11, 2013 Does that mean we miss out the Tenjin painting of the S? Nice move of Hase, anyway.
mickyg Posted September 11, 2013 Posted September 11, 2013 Very much looking forward to this. I can't afford (or find, for that matter) the toys, so this is pretty much it for me. The bandai model kit looks great perched on a shelf but it's super fragile and I very rarely am game to even move it on its stand, for fear of a leg drooping or worse.
wm cheng Posted September 11, 2013 Posted September 11, 2013 Woohoo!!! This is what I'm waiting for - even the side view elevation dwgs look better. I love Hasegawa's sense of sleekness and aircraft proportions.
electric indigo Posted September 11, 2013 Posted September 11, 2013 Apparently we also get some bonus missiles with the kit
wm cheng Posted September 11, 2013 Posted September 11, 2013 Thanks! Just pre-ordered 2. I would be so glad to throw those Bandai kits in the trash after this...
electric indigo Posted September 11, 2013 Posted September 11, 2013 According to HLJ, there's also the option to build it as a two-seater.
Fly4victory Posted September 11, 2013 Posted September 11, 2013 Thanks! Just pre-ordered 2. I would be so glad to throw those Bandai kits in the trash after this... Trash the Bandai, what happened to the battroid only build?
wm cheng Posted September 11, 2013 Posted September 11, 2013 Trash the Bandai, what happened to the battroid only build? Well, ok, I'm such a pack rat, I wouldn't ever literally throw it away. Lets say it would be put at the bottom of a HUGE pile of kits I'd like to do when I retire.
HWR MKII Posted September 11, 2013 Posted September 11, 2013 If the parts are close enough size wise use the bandai bits to make a gerwalk out of the hase kit.
ivorysniper Posted September 12, 2013 Posted September 12, 2013 Apparently we also get some bonus missiles with the kit Bonus ordnance ?. This is getting better than expected !!!. Just pre ordered two. Well, ok, I'm such a pack rat, I wouldn't ever literally throw it away. Lets say it would be put at the bottom of a HUGE pile of kits I'd like to do when I retire. ... and would you please put this one on the top of your pile and delight us with a new step-by-step ?.
ron5864 Posted September 12, 2013 Posted September 12, 2013 This is awesome news. I wonder if this means Hasegawa will have other Macross Frontier kits in the future?
Valkyrie addict Posted September 12, 2013 Posted September 12, 2013 I wonder if Bandais see's this and goes...."f*ck..."
electric indigo Posted September 12, 2013 Posted September 12, 2013 I'm sure they have a license agreement, so they're more like "ka-CHING".
Jefuemon Posted September 12, 2013 Posted September 12, 2013 ... and would you please put this one on the top of your pile and delight us with a new step-by-step ?. I won't do a step-by-step, but it is rocketing to the top of the build list when I get one.
ivorysniper Posted September 12, 2013 Posted September 12, 2013 I won't do a step-by-step, but it is rocketing to the top of the build list when I get one. Can't wait to see your build as well, Jefuemon. You guys are the vanguard, our benchmarks.
wm cheng Posted September 12, 2013 Posted September 12, 2013 ... and would you please put this one on the top of your pile and delight us with a new step-by-step ?. Unfortunately I don't think I'll be doing a step by step for a while (at least not until my daughter gets old enough that Daddy isn't her main man.... maybe in 4-5yrs). In fact, I can't even find the time to weather up my toys ;-( or even clean up my workbench. However this kit would jump to the top of my pile! I hope to live vicariously through you guys!
ce25254 Posted September 12, 2013 Posted September 12, 2013 In fact, I can't even find the time to ... I feel your pain. But kids are only around for a little while — enjoy your time with her.
Duymon Posted September 12, 2013 Posted September 12, 2013 I feel your pain. But kids are only around for a little while — enjoy your time with her. At least he has kids. My fiancee cannot so I have no choice but to fill my time with cats and macross
wm cheng Posted September 12, 2013 Posted September 12, 2013 Yes! I am very grateful for her and that's why I spend all my time with her, very aware that they do grow up so fast. It's the best 1:1 scale kit I've ever made ;-) Macross will still be around when I retire so I have to live vicariously through you guys and maybe dabble in a little weathering of the toys once in a while.
ce25254 Posted September 12, 2013 Posted September 12, 2013 At least he has kids. My fiancee cannot so I have no choice but to fill my time with cats and macross We are fortunate to have healthy kids, but I know many people can't say that at all. Sorry.

I don't have kids yet (I will, some day in 2-3 years). They are always a blessing. . Wish you to have a joyful life with your family. But at least we will see your build some day, right ?.

But at least we will see your build some day, right ?. Yes! Even better than Macross (did I say that out loud?!) I definitely hope so, this is the kit I've been waiting for since the Bandais came out. I hope to sneak off for a few hours here and there to do one of these babies up - just probably won't have the luxury to do a proper step-by-step. I'd just like the time to take my models/toys out for a proper photoshoot (did manage a Bandai 1/72 VF-25S Armored and that 1/3000 SDF-1 since my daughter has been around) All I can say to anyone is DON'T WAIT - have your kids now. Macross will still be here. In the meantime, I'd love to see other build ups!!!
Capt Hungry Posted September 16, 2013 Posted September 16, 2013 Pre-ordered 1 (and hopefully more VF-11s will come in too).
Jefuemon Posted September 17, 2013 Posted September 17, 2013 Pre-ordered 2. Gotta have both the -F and -S! Now, what to do with my already built Bandai VF-25F.....
wm cheng Posted September 17, 2013 Posted September 17, 2013 Maybe it would make a good crashed diorama! (hehe) - or maybe a hanger scene with all the parts exposed during repairs...
Duymon Posted September 17, 2013 Posted September 17, 2013 Buuuu, the Bandai VF-25s are still pretty good models. I can't wait to get some Hasegawa's so i can pillage then for proper decals to put on my Bandais :0 Hope Hase releases some variants with Cartograph decals, love those
SebastianP Posted September 24, 2013 Posted September 24, 2013 (edited) This months paycheck hasn't arrived yet, but as soon as it does I'm ordering at least one, probably a pair, and permanently turning my Super VF-25S into a battroid. Maybe then I'll get around to putting the decals on it. What's the usual schedule for variant releases at Hasegawa? (I.e. when can we expect Super and Armored VF-25F/S, VF-25G, RVF-25 or VF-27 kits to show up?) (Edit: The preview image at HLJ says "Illustrated by Hidetaka Tenjin", so we'll most likely be getting traditional Hasegawa box art for this one too, no worries...) Edited September 24, 2013 by SebastianP
rustywelder Posted September 24, 2013 Posted September 24, 2013 Got mine pre-ordered! Fingers crossed they follow with Lucca's RVF.
electric indigo Posted September 25, 2013 Posted September 25, 2013 New peeks from the hobby magazines - not much to report, though.
ron5864 Posted September 30, 2013 Posted September 30, 2013 Will Hasegawa ever produce a 1/48 VF-25? Bandai was going to do that once but backed out.
electric indigo Posted September 30, 2013 Posted September 30, 2013 Buy a ton of the 1/72 kits to give them some incentive...
Jefuemon Posted October 11, 2013 Posted October 11, 2013 AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH-HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!! picture
