Big s Posted October 24, 2022 Share Posted October 24, 2022 1 hour ago, kajnrig said: They've stocked and sold a bunch of recent Macross stuff - WWM toys, the SD toys I forget the name of the line, VFG kits, etc. Everything BUT stuff with the UN Spacy roundel, which is why I suspect it's an HG issue (but even then there's the exception of the HMR VF-0S...). Good to know on Gundam Planet. I don’t know why the hg YF-19 is being treated differently than the toys and older items, but strangely it is. I noticed that gundam planet also has the decals, so I ordered 2 sets of each since I got one off hlj already. Although I guess these won’t be here til late February. Also it’s a bit pricey. It’s probably still way more cost effective to wait and see if hlj gets extras in stock on release day Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It isn't their fault. Bandai sends whatever amount they deem fit regardless or pre-order numbers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m actually surprised about that since they hadn’t put it up for preorder yet. It’s good to see that there will be other sources for these kits Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hikuro Posted October 25, 2022 Share Posted October 25, 2022 It’s gonna be a heavy parts former from what I’ve been seeing. However I ordered 2! I hope we get more than just this, considering bandais track history hasn’t exactly been great for Macross kits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s great if you just want the one kit, but for those that want to display all three modes, then the Stateside stores are a bit better of an option, even if they are a higher price. There’s also the choice of waiting for release day to get multiples if hlj allows that at that time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frankell05 Posted October 28, 2022 Share Posted October 28, 2022 shipping is so high at hlj that its the same as buying it at BBTS. Wonder if amiami will have it. i have found their shipping is more reasonable than HLJ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big s Posted November 3, 2022 Share Posted November 3, 2022 It looks like it can magically change sizes. In on picture it looks huge and the next super compact. The perspective is entertaining here. At 1/100 I was aware that it will be nice and small for my limited future display area.

jvmacross Posted December 28, 2022 Share Posted December 28, 2022 Nice...this is what it will look like without painting? If so, glad I picked one up....mainly bought it as a stand in until a possible HMR Y/VF-19 is released... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
