GMK Posted July 1 Posted July 1 I’ve seen this quasi-cutaway Battroid done on the Hasegawa kit, but this really works. A decal set of this would be wild.
Bolt Posted July 1 Posted July 1 That looks like fun. I'm in for a few more battroid kits and then I think I'm good on this line.

Other than Super/Strike versions, I guess the only real thing left to do is VF-1J Max/Miria and maybe movie versions? Possibly an all-in-one combo pack like they're doing for the fighter. They haven't done VF-1J Max/Miria for the fighter kit though... which is puzzling.

I’m pretty sure I’ve mentioned that they’re probably holding off due to recent hasegawa kits. I’m sure they’re coming eventually l, just like I’m sure they’ll do the armored one, just gotta let things cool down and in the meantime probably do some more 7 stuff

But even then, the approaches are so wildly different... But I do not at all understand holding off on the fighters since Hasegawa's Max/Miria set is so old now.

They may be old, but then everyone is gonna want the battroids and they’re probably gonna try and just let things cool a bit. The max fighter came out pretty close to his battroid in 1A and fairly close with Hikaru. It’s not a hard rule for them yet, but it seems to be something that sometimes happens the further they get with the VF-1’s, although there are exceptions.

Papa Rat Posted July 20 Posted July 20 That came out really nice. I’m especially drawn to the beautiful flat shaded side. It’s messing with my perception in a very cool way. 🤪
Shawn Posted July 21 Posted July 21 Those are amazing!! Do do we have to wait for Plamax to release a Gerwalk before we get this one?

GMK Posted July 21 Posted July 21 They’ve got a Gerwalk in 1/20. Would love to see a swap - a Gerwalk in 1/72 & their Battroid in 1/20!

Shawn Posted July 28 Posted July 28 Was the Kakizaki a limited release? Agreed it is insanely hard to find at anything less than $90 (best price I could find anywhere, but can't justify that)

That's good news, I'm hoping to have mine shipped before the tariffs kick in. Are you seeing the 1/72 Armament Set in stock too? It looked like they would be released together.

It’d be disappointing if to get that set as preordered early and at the same time. Oh well we’ll see what happens. I ordered the hguc Gallus J as soon as it popped up from hlj and noticed that it looks like I somehow missed it!

Oh well we’ll see what happens. I ordered the hguc Gallus J as soon as it popped up from hlj and noticed that it looks like I somehow missed it! It's just really hard to get anything Bandai from HLJ now. I have a big list of items I pre-ordered super early and never got. And wound up canceling pre-order when I got the item at a local store. This goes for Gundam (never got RG Shining or MGSD Wing or MG Vidar or MG Narrative C-Packs and many others), this goes for Macross (have pre-ordered every HG 1/100 valk and I think I only got one YF-21 and one Fire Valkyrie - my VF-22 Max and Miria pre-orders are still sitting unfulfilled, and my older pre-orders are canceled), and this goes for Armored Core (I pre-ordered everything from the 30mm ACVI line, and the only ones ever fulfilled were the quad leg unit and one of the weapon sets).
pengbuzz Posted August 12 Posted August 12 I gave up on HLJ. TOo much in the end, and wait times... nuff said.

It's really just Bandai stuff that's a problem for me. I get all my Hasegawa, Wave, Max Factory, Kotobukiya, Moderoid, Our Treasure, Tamiya, Aoshima, Fujimi, Hobby Japan pre-orders with no problems.
