    By the was things are going as per the rolling lockdowns are going overseas, the 25 will arrive first and then Arcadia's Nora 51. I'm still on the fence on that one honestly as I have the Yammie version and will decide when the Arcadia version gets released.

    Sweet…Worldwide release too! Depending on the price, I might be interested in a couple HMR’s…lots easier to fit on the shelf.

    SICK, I LOVE THE VF-0 DESIGNS

    Probably 2k or 3k higher than the Lightning?

    Given the size of the 0, the HMR should be pretty substantial, even at 1/100. Super excited it's coming this soon and a MWW release to boot. I don't own...any Macross stuff at this scale, but I'm in for another 0S.

    Maybe but the VF-0 is physically bigger overall compared to the Lightning.

    Oh nice!!! I was hoping this wouldn't end up being just a dream. Then get the nicer surprise that it will be a Worldwide release! Even better!!!

    Wait what? Miriya is cheaper by $10? That is just funny that they know to up the price on Max's ride.

    Even funnier that these cost more than an Arcadia Milia VF-1J Super Valkyrie from Japan currently. I had a feeling HG would probably have the MSRP go up once the KC VF-1s got a better reception than the Toynami VF-1s. They just proved it’s better to stick with the imported VF-1s from Japan.

    Be nice if Bandai decides to make HI METAL R VF-0A/C/D, SV-51s and the Destroids from Macross Zero.

    Bandai Spirits' / Tamashii Nations' Hi-Metal R line.
    HI-METAL R(ハイメタル アール)の商品一覧 | 魂ウェブ
    They've done various Macross related mechs since the original inception of the Hi-Metal line but once they started to do Valkyries in the DX Chogokin line all attention went towards that and since then the Hi-Metal R lines has since begun to slow down in terms of releases especially from Macross, but I'm sure that might change now considering that Bandai can now solicit Macross toys outside of Japan.
