This is a Macross product so you'll have to hunt for it at specialty import shops. If you're looking for Robotech, Transformers, Acid Rain, etc. you can find great products and support this channel by shopping at BBTS through this link! www.bigbadtoystore.com/?ScorchedEarthToys.
Do you have any recommendations for shops that sell these? I’ve recently gotten into buying the Hi Metal R figures, and Big Bad toy store doesn’t carry these. I’d love some help if possible. Thanks.
Was thinking of getting the reissue, with the nice backdrop and custom stand, so I gave this a watch again. Still a little undecided, lol. Great review as always
Loving that Skull-1 colour scheme, but the the Yamato/Arcadia basic colours with the dark greys works better than the cream on the HMR for me. The cream nose would probably work better without the panel that's behind the nose in fighter/GERWALK. It's way too prominent in Battroid mode.
Awesome review as usual. I still don't get how the VF-4 is an improvement over the VF-1 though. What was Kawamori smoking when he designed it. Looks good in fighter and gerwalk, but battroid looks like a Greco-Roman cluster *uck compared to the VF-1. But despite that, still love your Macross toy reviews, keep it up!
Some steels are different Most planes frames are Aluminum. I see lobestone with steel that compound with element aluminum may have some electric magnetic power spectrum skin aluminum
I think the Batroid mode is possibly the DUMBEST looking one of any variant of Valkyrie that has ever been created for the Macross universe....and that's saying something considering the design of the mechs in Macross 7. I actually prefer the fighter mode of almost every single Macross Valkyrie though. The VF-4 was a great design, but my all-time favorite is the fully armored SMS Valkyrie from Macross Frontier. that thing was just a BEAST!!
Did you ever get it? Those scammers forced me to take a store credit after finally admitting they were not able to fill my order several months after it was released. I was able to get one on eBay for less than my NY order with shipping. Still don't know what I'm going to use the credit for as I don't trust them to ship anything anymore.
they finally responded to my inquiry(asking on how to upgrade/change shipping services due covid) on the 4th contact after telling them i would never again use them after spending thousands of dollars being a loyal customer since 2016.. I upgraded the shipping service from EMS to ferry which was a few dollars and change they did not even consider waiving.. it shipped out 8/18 and still making its way to my home atm.
so the Hi-metal finally arrived today however my other pre-order that I chose to upgrade shipping at the same time due to covid never shipped out.. it looks like i'll be waiting another 3mos for it to ferry over. I will never use NY again, as folks say in the forums avoid them like the plague hahaha
@@sidearmsalpha So my other (metal robot barbatos gundam) pre-order has not shipped out and they are no longer responding at all.. I've spoken to 7 diff chat reps in the past month telling me my ticket is top priority and NY will reach out within 24hrs. I even submitted a new ticket to have the order cancelled for a refund.. not sure what to do at this point.

The vf-4 is definitely an acquired taste. I like the head design though, it's a mix of a vf-1s and sv-51. Appreciate the review, thanks.

Hey yours finally arrived! Congrats!
How can anyone dislike the VF-4 battroid mode? It's a big, burly, menacing robot that looks like it killed a plane and is wearing it as a pelt.
A great review, as always. I am kind of glad I passed on these guys. If I did drop a bill on one, I'd probably just display it in fighter.

Nice review. The new head design is from the VF4 master file, so maybe it’s canon?
Do you know if Bandai plans to make a DX scale 1/60 of this toy? It's one of my favorite walks with the VF 19.

i like the new format
It looks nice but I need to get the Arcadia one since I collect mostly 1:60 scale Macross toys
Skipped this one, will be all in for a brownie CF version or a Max/Millia set!
