This thing looks awesome. Now we just have to cross our fingers that we'll get fast packs and I think we will because I see spaces in the arms for them, and even more importantly, that it isn't flimsy!

Please have tight joints, please don't be flimsy.

Doubt it will be flimsy, from what I've read, the Fire Valk in the same line turned out great and is not flimsy at all. If anything, this one uses a lot less parts swapping then the Fire Valk(which didn't use much to begin with). In fact, for transformation there may not be any need to part swap at all. Maybe the shield but that might be it.

Admittedly this figure is small, about 5" or so in battroid mode, but the amount of small parts used within are numerous, which I'm sure drove up the cost(the more smaller parts needed, the higher the cost).

I am nonetheless excited for it. My Toynami 1/100's have busted polycaps. This Bandai version looks better and will most likely have much better quality control. Hell it looks AWESOME. Out of all the non-styalized, variable VF-1 toys on the market, it seems to have the best sculpt in battroid mode. Might preorder this one.

Yeah I think Bandai is finding the right formula for the 1/100 Macross line and I know the Fire Valk came out well so I have my hopes up because of that.

As yourself, one of the biggest reasons I'm excited about this one is that it appears to be very posable and the battroid mode looks fantastic. I wish the 1/60 line looked this good and it makes me wonder if Bandai will try to make this one even better at that scale.

Bandai won't go 1/60 with this unless Yamato's license expires anytime soon, and if it did, I don't know if Bandai would go for that scale. I suspect that if they scale it up, the most likely route would be 1/72 with retractable landing gear/heat shield as a HCM 2.0.
