leahLooking back I don't recall seeing on on the tv volumes either, so guess there are at least a few.
-
I can't ever recall , but maybe someone's brain here might? Have you ever seen either of these books with an OBI ? I've seen pretty much every other Macross book with one, but never these two.

Wow that looks phenomenal-love it

HLJ charged me $69 bucks to So Cal....2x Queads and 1x Max with the shipping discount. Geez rates seem high again

They've been selling on YJ for 28000-30000 yen, and with the current exchange rate comes out to about $215, then add in intra-japan shipping for $10 and international for $30ish and you are looking at $250ish to your door Amazon US was $208, but now $218 with free shipping, but you'll need to add in sales tax, and a March delivery date So as of today its pretty much the same in price, but on YJ you can get it in a couple weeks vs waiting Not sure why the releases for the US are always a few months behind, but they are consistent in this process. I'd love to see a simultaneous event in the future.

Its at 128k....geez! Amazing turnout -
Nice box variant collection!! Your patience led to some great quality examples. For the casual toy surfers, its all about the box's head laser cutouts and the feet. There are 4 'variants' throughout the VF-1J production.

Imai 1/72 Fixed mode fighter kit. Still can't believe this was never offered. I swear there is a mocked up one in the Imai commercial. Only way to get fighter mode was the Variable kit. And a 1/72 Phalanx...like WHY not. Lastly some Nichimo Queads and Nousgadeul Gers...they would have been a decent size. They were cancelled for more valkyries, but did show up on a 'coming next' list in the beginning. We saw the Imai 1/72 Super O prototype...but they lost the Macross license and it never came out.

Yes-please share pics! I have this one, and a 'neutered' one where they removed all the fireworks for International Shipping, so packaging only. Oh well
-
Sweet-thank you for the heads up!
-
Wow-I've not seen those forever!! Which old-timer is getting out of collecting!? LOL You'll need to share some more pics of those when you can
-
Udon's page has shown 'sold out' for at least 2 months, when I first checked it there. Suspect they haven't updated it. I see no immediate difference between the comic con one/early bird specials that they sold at otakon vs the one shown there on ebay. Sure hope something is different. If not maybe there was a new agreement for the release between the publisher/licensor, or perhaps there never was an issue and its just weird production problems/internet drama/rumors. I'd love to see the index

trying to the completist in me

Wow-great information as always! I did not know in the backstory they had discovered battle pods on the ship -
Super Macross Mecha Fun Time Discussion Thread!

This pic got me thinking When ASS-1 crashed we figured out we were going to potentially fighting giants, hence the VF-1 design for Battroid mode (which is still a really neat reason to have transforming jets after all these years) But did anyone at the time think 'So....we've matched the giants size for size with our VF-1, but what if THEY use mecha themselves? Seeing the size difference of the battroid vs the regult or quead or glaug is crazy enough, but what if they (Zentradi) used machinery proportionally sized to them? i.e. imagine if this F-14 was Zentradi sized and what they piloted, we'd be in an awful lot of trouble with our puny little VF-1s 😛 I wonder if Kawamori/Miyatake dialed back the Zentradi mech sizes because the UN forces would be extremely overwhelmed...plus I guess they'd be hard to animate in the same cel frame. The Zentradi mecha seem to be quite compact and space efficient

Ok-where is the deeper breakdown of those 2 valks? They look amazing. How many customized areas can we identify?
-
It was YOU who outbid me on the fan after all these years I should have known
-
oh that us weird...what are the odds of that!

I picked up a couple of those loose DX 1/48 VF-1 Gunpods on Yahoo Japan, to see if they could be used with some of my loose 1/55s that don't have gunpods I think it looks ok. Its not perfect, but in a pinch it could work on the shelf Size comparison Original. Do I dare criticize the Legacy 1/55 crowd and say it might be a tad undersized? Blasphemy!! The Real Big Kahuna...ok this angle is LONG This works better!

👍

does a promotional poster count? (Game boy for size there on the right)
-
I have one of those "Phenix" versions! Will add in a 1/48 and a 1/60 flyer And a hi metal? The the OG Plus units
