Thanks mon. I actually have the Q-Rea on the way from HLJ.
I think I'm gunning for Hi-Metal for the non-Max units that I want like the 19 Kai. Though when it comes to VF-1, Yamato still gets my vote so I still don't plan on getting any of the VF-1's from the Hi Metal series.

Here's my latest buy: Here's some thing I made as well, a slideshow of the toy with the song "Planet Dance" from Macross 7. Enjoy! Anyway, here are some things I find about the toy: Good:- Lots of accessories. The toy is loaded with accessories from gunpod, hands, the missiles for the legs, a better looking head for Battroid mode, its own display stand, and much more. Just make sure you do have some nails when you open this toy since you need to pry out some stuff. - Transformation. While it does require some minor parts swapping, the transformation is very convenient and more on the fun side. Besides the wings, you don't get much floppy parts while going from mode to mode. - Size. I believe the size of this toy is pretty good and fun to handle and still manages to catch attention on display without eating up your living space. - Price. Well, I think the good part about this toy (and the line per se) is that it's fairly priced for its size and gimmicks. While it might not be as grand as Yamato's masterpieces at least you're paying like 1/3 or 1/2 of their going prices. It satisfies the saying "you get what you pay for" even more if you get it on discounted prices. Not good:-Landing gear. They're pretty much cradles so unless you use the base where they are meant to attach to, you're VF-19S is basically on its belly. I wish Bandai came up with a way to attach landing gears on the plane that need not depend on the base for display. I guess the landing gear idea was really an afterthought on their part. -Gun pod on Fighter mode. Like other collectors said, it's like an eagle without its talons. While I know Bandai had to include an adaptor for the Fire Valkyrie's gun pod, they didn't seem to have added that for the Blazer Valkyrie. I would have really loved a gun pod attach to Fighter mode even if it's only applicable without the stand. Might be good or bad:-Looks. While this one rocks big time in Fighter mode, the Battroid mode seems to lack the chunk of the line art design. Now this would vary from person to person. I think the Battroid still looks pretty mean even without that chunk from the line art. You be the judge. All in all, I think this is a great toy. I'm really a happy customer and I wish that Bandai would continue to produce awesome stuff like this and I would gladly follow this line (except for the VF-1 units most likely). Seeing that they already have a YF-21 prototype, I'm really looking forward to Bandai releasing the YF-19 as well. Hands down a really fun toy for me. I believe the Macross 7 mechas deserve much more love and Bandai is really making it possible. Thanks for looking!

Now here's another new catch, my very first from Mandarake and currently the Holy Grail of my SIC Collection. Indeed this is truly one of the best releases out there. It has a lot of intricate detailing from head to toe including the weapons and accessories, and the overall appearance is just plain b@d@$$. I just couldn't say more, but this is truly an excellent figure, a must have for SIC collectors! Thanks for looking!

It's not really on my top list. I'd rather get the soon to be released VF-1A Max DYRL that's bundled with the Super Parts or even a VF-1S Hikaru. Thanks for looking bro!

Since I plan to buy a new P&S camera next week, I decided to take this last set of photos with my old camera, my 1/60 VF-1A and Decoback space. TFL
