Bandai Hi-Metal R VE-1 Elintseeker Review

Scorched Earth Toys @ anymoon.com reviews Bandai's Hi-Metal R Elintseeker. This vehicle has been a collector's dream since its 2 second cameo in the movie Macross: Do You Remember Love? Will you love the HMR VE-1? Find out!

[@gueratom]

Crazy how they make this lovely design just for a 2 second-appearance in the movie. Thanks for the video, my Elintseeker should be arriving soon !

[@delta7890]

Mine should be here this week. Can't wait! Excited for the eventual Super Ostrich as well.

[@OrinThomas]

Glad you showed the extension piece on the AWAC/Radome. Couldn't figure that out myself from the instructions

[@TresnaSahabakti]

What a great and neat review, thank you for posting this Elint Seeker, its my most favorite

[@LORDOFDORKNESS42]

Given that removable nose-cone I'm really surprised the GBP doesn't fit. Guess it's future proofing for something, keeping the production lines simple, or some-such? Anyway, thanks for checking!

[@ScorchedEarthToys]

Yes, I would guess the nose is removable simply for production reasons. While a GBP VE-1 sounds fun, I'm glad they stayed true to the line art and didn't include the notch at the top of the chest. I did add a pic of a VE-1 kinda wearing the GBP on anymoon for you! anymoon.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2017/11/Bandai-HMR-VE-1-5.jpg

got the yamato 1/60 with the rainbow canopy, LOVEEEE IT, will be getting this item aswell...thank you for the video

[@KBAZ100]

I love it! What a beautiful ship!

[@bizophone]

This is my favorite Valkyrie design. It looks like something that could actually exist (despite the giant robot mode).

[@Superdimensional]

This thing is selling like hot cakes I think people who missed the Yamato releases and don’t wanna pay the $400+ for it now are living vicariously through this release 😆 happy to say I have both And the Chunky!

Buen video de las naves baritech de la pelicula MACROS Y ROBOTECH viendo desde GUAYAQUIL ECUADOR

[@chichiboypumpi]

I'd buy each type of different brands, so they can be displayed in their best forms, and lessen wearing of parts.

[@ThomasMusings]

You can actually see a Valk with a radome during the Force of Arms episode.

[@Pinkyy901]

Nice and thanks for sharing……

[@TrickyCustomer]

Have you pre ordered the DX VF-31A Kairos? I just manged to get one myself very recently, luckily. Not a fan of the custom hero variants but the A kairos is a thing of beauty. Can't believe i nearly missed it! Hope you manage to get one so i can watch the review. Thanks for your great channel.

[@ScorchedEarthToys]

I do have a Kairos on order and plan to review it. Hopefully its arrival at my house doesn't coincide with Spring Break...

[@khronokraze]

Thanks for this review. This is one of the coolest valkyrie variants.. and it only got like 3-5 seconds screen time?! haha.and only seen from the rear quadrant. Anyways, I had the Yamato version.. actually most of my last macross collection was from Yamato, but I have since sold it several years ago. However, I would like to get a good one going again and these Macross Hi-Metal R ones from Bandai look pretty darn good. I miss the larger scale of the Yamato ones.. 1/60? but, these at I think 1/100 are actually better for my limited space.. and, it puts them in close enough scale to some other Japanese anime model kits I have such as the starfighters from Battleship Yamato which are 1/100. hmm.. looks like this and the super Ostrich, which I had both in the original large scale Bandai and later the Yamato version should be next. I highly anticipate Bandai to eventually release all eligible mechas in the Hi-Metal R line in due time from both the Macross TV & Movie.

[@dmaynor]

Does anyone know the time that it appears in movie?

[@jpbatinic]

Where can I get a display stand for this? I can't find them online

[@frankdehner2046]

I like the looks of these hi metal pieces. But why don't they make them in the 1/55 scale?

[@ScorchedEarthToys]

I think Bandai would respond to that by saying "Stay tuned!" They've been teasing larger VF-1 toys for a while now. The beauty of the much smaller scale of the Hi-Metal toys is that it allows them to make toys for the comparably huge mecha we see in the show, like the Regult, Glaug, and Monster.

[@joycek3892]

😊👍

[@BSGNUT]

Good catch! LOL!

[@chogokin666]

Should really be called lo-metal, but I like it. Having a bit of trouble getting gerwalk mode to fall into place. All in all didn't pay too much so I'm happy. The Yamato was a disaster imo.

[@ScorchedEarthToys]

My Yamato review will be going up soon but I rather enjoyed it. What was your issue with it?

[@chogokin666]

ScorchedEarthToys are we talking the Yamato from about 10/15 years ago? If so it was a fiddly unstable mess. Ive got Spartan on the way. Curious to see how that stacks up. Looks nice.

[@ScorchedEarthToys]

Ooooh, you're talking about the V1! Yeah... not a fan.

[@chogokin666]

ScorchedEarthToys there's another Yamato Elintseeker? I havent purchased Yamato since Groizer or maybe Baxinger.

[@viper21425]

What was the name of the stand again please

[@dotaallstars8172]

tamashii stage diplay stand act 5. But if you think the price to too steep, I recommend getting to knockoff chinese display stand from ebay. It is 3 bucks or less. I have them and they work perfectly

[@Bintangtumakaka]

Would this count as a p-bandai release?

[@ScorchedEarthToys]

No, this was a regular release.
