pengbuzz Posted April 28, 2021 Posted April 28, 2021 Too bad Hasegawa wouldn't consider doing some models from Macross II; I think either of the VF-2 versions, the Metal Siren, and definitely some of the enemy mecha along with ships from both sides.
Bolt Posted April 29, 2021 Posted April 29, 2021 I'm with you on that! But how about a VF-4 Batroid !?

kajnrig Posted May 14, 2021 Posted May 14, 2021 So nothing new to announce, just the re-pops mentioned earlier, at least so far as Macross goes. That's a tad disappointing.

Probably it's going to be like the previous Egg Hikaru VF-1S and VF-1J that came with a Minmay 1/24 figure. Also just a heads-up that the Egg YF-19 with 1/24 Myung is now available for PO at HLJ and HobbySearch for Y2560. https://www.hlj.com/1-24-scale-myung-fang-lone-w-yf-19-macross-plus-egg-plane-hsg65872 https://www.1999.co.jp/eng/10774400 Edited May 14, 2021 by no3Ljm

Sorry, I meant to say that there are no new announcements, just showing off what they announced previously - ie Myung YF-19 and the repops. I was hoping against hope for a VF-171 reveal to compete against Wave, or maybe a Cheyenne II, or etc.

If I didn't already have an eggplane YF-19, I'd probably go for it...but since I do.. and since I'm worse at painting figures than I am at the aircraft...lol
VF-1A Grunt Posted May 25, 2021 Posted May 25, 2021 Just got my in stock purchase notice from HLJ for the Low Visibility 1/48 VF-1. Looking forward to seeing it in person, but I’m afraid to see what shipping will be for the two I ordered.

Photogirl Posted May 27, 2021 Posted May 27, 2021 wish they would reissue the TV editions of the SDF-1 prices on those have shot up so high in the last year.
ivorysniper Posted June 7, 2021 Posted June 7, 2021 1/48 VF-19A with VF-X2 livery to be issued on August.

Sorry, I forgot to reply back. I haven't actually had them ship my kits yet because I was debating adding another 1/48 weapon set. Always hard to know how much more one additional kit will increase the shipping... Anyway, for two 1/48 VF-1 kits from Japan to Michigan, USA, it's estimating $28.98 USD for surface shipping (1-3 months!), $56.47 for EMS, $59.56 for DHL, and $59.66 for FedEx. I'll probably just go with surface shipping because I'm not in a rush, and I could buy another kit with that savings.
TMBounty_Hunter Posted July 7, 2021 Posted July 7, 2021 September news, no new Macross announced, only a single re-release with the #26 Super/Strike Gerwalk
Bolt Posted July 7, 2021 Posted July 7, 2021 At least they're still making the ever popular " Blonde Girl" 🤓

KOG Water Dragon Posted August 12, 2021 Author Posted August 12, 2021 Interesting surge of 1/48 repops. If they're going to keep this up, I wouldn't mind seeing a 1/48 release of the Minmei Guard scheme. Or even better, they could do a few new parts and give us 1/48 VF-1D, VE-1, or VT-1.

peter Posted August 13, 2021 Posted August 13, 2021 5 hours ago, Bolt said: Bandai might have something to do with that 😉 That's what I was thinking. These are way cheaper and for those of us who want even more detail than the DXs and seldom transform them anyway, it's way more economical to just build your own. I'll be honest, my in-laws sent me the Roy with Strike packs and I just received my VF-1D, but I wasn't very excited about them. I recently got back into models and all I could think of when I got these guys was ohh.....this shape isn't right, oh the markings are nice but look at all those seam lines, and where is the shading?
peter Posted August 13, 2021 Posted August 13, 2021 I don't mean to toot my own horn, my builds look like garbage compared to some of the artists here (ahem Mechtech, WM Cheng, countless others). But if I'm going to be honest, my little 1/72 Hasegawa builds spark more joy than the 1/48 toys. I have a 1/48 Strike Valk in my queue, can't wait to get started on it, but I just need to organize some more display space. My DXs are all back in their boxes, lol!
Thom Posted August 13, 2021 Posted August 13, 2021 @peter 'Garbage...' Do me a favor, give yourself a good smack in the face for me! 😁 I wish I had your models in my display 'case!'

wm cheng Posted August 13, 2021 Posted August 13, 2021 LOL @peter - that is an absolutely beautiful VF-1 (I see you fixed the angle on the rear legs too - was that a hard fix?). I do enjoy models too, but with my crazy work nowadays, toys provide me that "instant" gratification 😛. I don't know when I'll be able to build again, and its such a long commitment at least several weeks to start, then I get obsessive about finishing it. The Bandai DXs don't require much to get it up and passible, you can just do a quick wash to capture the panel lines and I do a light pencil rubbing with a smudge stick over some of the panel lines to weather it a bit, a day and you're done and back to enjoying (no swearing from the basement in the middle of the night :P).
