I think Bandai will finish up the HMR line (assuming you are referring to what had already been teased/displayed), but it will probably do it for "Japan Only"....unless some devine intervention makes BW/HG come up with some additional deal for "joint" releases outside of Japan......I am personally not holding my breath Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Podtastic Posted October 8 Share Posted October 8 (edited) For what its worth anyway I asked for more Zentraedi merchandise and for them to release the HMR Regult Scout. At least I could finally put that on one of their surveys. I never noticed any Zentraedi items listed on the Tamashi site survey. It was also extremely gratifying to answer "none" to the question about their listed valkyries/whatever.

So I don't see how that changes anything for us. I just want my Tomohawks and a second chance at the Regults. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly....folks just need to adjust their expectations accordingly.......when it comes to SDFM/DYRL......it's the status quo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ignacio Ocamica Posted October 9 Share Posted October 9 Asked for HMR: Nousjadeul Ger (TV and DYRL), Queadluun Rau (TV and DYRL), Regult Scout and Tomahawk. Just because, why not??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sh9000 Posted October 9 Share Posted October 9 Yep. Requested that the HMR Macross line continue that includes all of those mentioned and more. Hoping that someone from Bandai will come to this forum once in a while to get some input. It would be nice if Bandai were to work with HG and release HMR in the US. HG can use the HMR line as their new smaller scale releases. Use a HG slipcover or repackaging. Start from the beginning or continue the line.

Now that you mention it....I wonder if KitzConcept's release plans have changed any? At one point they were talking about the possibility of releasing Destroids in scale with their 1/72 VF-1 line......with that said, the chances of a 1/72 Destroid Monster would be slim to none.....so I would rather have a "complete" in-scale line of toys (HMR) and would hope HG and BW can come up with some financial agreement when it comes to current "Japan-Only" toys from Bandai and others...then perhaps we can eventually get the few missing HMR mechs not released made available directly to any collector outside of Japan.... Make no mistake though, I will continue to buy my SDFM/DYRL merch straight from Japan if that "deal" never materializes...heck, even if it does, I may still just buy the Japanese versions if I prefer the packaging, etc...LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn’t mind if they get that originally planned 1/55 VF-1D released too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
