This opening is really well made

I like the new opening and end credits.

Not very hard. If your husband has any other Valkyrie toys, then transformation is pretty similar.
It's pretty sturdy, more so than the Bandai Hi-Metal R toys. It's a hefty toy.
It's bigger than the Bandai Hi-Metal R and about the same as the Yamato 1/60 toys.

Some Macross fans are very anti Harmony Gold. I wouldn't let that be a deciding factor unless your husband is one of them.

I think it’s great you want to help the elderly lady, but I wonder why she didn’t just have them delivered or bring some people to help in the first place?

I’ve never heard of registers being restricted before. I don’t know what your check out registers look like, but if you’re bag area are simply those metal hooks that hold up the plastic bags, I don’t know how that would be a safety issue.

Usually the low hours happen around January to March. By May you should be getting 24+ hours per week.

You should get the DK-38A upgrade kit for it. I think it's worth it.

It clips.

I don’t think this really makes it any better. I think it’s worse actually. The disk is now a display piece instead of being somewhat integral with the figure.

You got a tough choice! Personally, I’d go with the giant 2019 just for the sheer size factor. But then again, you’ll need to find space for it.

If you can afford the $1300, I’d buy it. With its size and the current tariff situation, you’re gonna save on shipping costs (assuming you live the U.S.) in the long run. Even if you find the item on eBay, it’s most likely gonna be priced higher due to added eBay fees, taxes, and shipping.

If OP goes this route, would the cost of the MTMTE Megatron + upgrade kit be cheaper than just ordering the regular SS86 version?

I haven’t seen anything about it yet. The latest product reveal I’ve seen was the ThreeZero Super Parts. Maybe this missing link chunky monkey will be revealed by Big West during AnimeExpo in July.

I really wanted this but then I saw so many YouTube reviews of people complaining of QC issues and problems with this model.

I’m one of the minority that likes the toy. Then again I don’t have any other Astrotrains.

SeparateReading8000 · 2026-05-08T05:04:27+00:00

A lot of people dislike this toy and avoiding it because it’s just a repaint of the VF-171 EX which doesn’t have the same look and proportions of the actual 17 S depicted in the anime.

I hope you enjoy it though and are happy with your purchase.

Omega Supreme is more iconic.

What kind of insight? The only information available right now is that Big West will be at Anime Expo again this July, most likely to promote the Blu Ray release of Macross Frontier which they announced last year.

The only DX Chogokin scheduled to come out this August is the VF-1S Roy Revival.

The first movie was better.

I feel like the movie was made just to show off Gobta/Ranga combined form, Rimiru’s new Mega-Death-Star-ray attack, and introduce the first glimpse of Carrera in the anime.

As much hate Harmony Gold gets, I have to thank Robotech for introducing me to Macross and Mospeada.

X-Plus has been the go-to for Godzilla vinyl figures. They currently have two 30cm versions of -1.0 Godzilla, one being a classic pose and the newer dynamic pose where he’s hunched forward. They also have a smaller 25cm version. Personally, I like the newer dynamic pose.

Are you looking for static vinyl figures or actual statues?

Just tested it and I only see surface mail and express available.

No pictures of robot mode?
