Ahhh! You got me. I copied and pasted the name from the Q-Rau (never remember how to spell Queadluun) and forgot it's Q-Rea in MF. Cuz I remember you said they may have license conflict for products on the same scale, and thus I asked. Thanks!!!

Personally, I want a 1/48 VF-25S more. I can and will wait! I can't accommodate two 1/48 VF-25 in my home. (Or so I say.)

The text behind is the introduction of the VF-27. Piloted by Ranka's brother, better than the VF-25, the engines are inherited from VF-22, blah blah blah.

Hi Graham, May I ask a hypothetical licensing question (or two)? Can Bandai release a 1/60 DX Queadluun-Rau MF version? Similarly, can they release a 1/100 VB-6, MF color? Thanks!

It looks good to me! Luckily, I am not very into the Ex-Gear design. Unless they issue a Sheryl...

From official site: The DYRL 1A and the Kakizaki TV 1A would be released on May 21. DYRL Kakizaki unconfirmed.

The YF-21 box is the same as that of the 1/48 VF-1s, H360xW370xD140.

I don't let the sun shrine on my toys! Except for the Zeta Gundam Methaus (sp?), which is yellow through and through.

Very well said... about the cosplay thing. The hair, the dress and the look is Klan alright, but the face is not. They fail to capture the canine look! *sigh* So I am not the only with the dirty feeling if I buy a figure of a kid in swimming suit.

Thanks everyone! I know the attachment unit they come with the VF100; it just asks you to pin the legs in parallel together. That ruins 1/3 of the point of owning a VF100. In fact I don't have much display space, so battroid mode save the most. When I take pics I'll borrow the stands from the model kits.

Darn! I expected as much when I saw the preorder for the 25F delayed. There must have been some technical difficulties. My MF Skull team would not be complete before September it seems...

Just notice that the dimension of the box would be 300mm×360mm×100mm Comparison: 1/48 box: :H360xW370xD140 (mm) 1/60 v.2: H325×W280×D105 (mm) Bandi DX(VF-25F): 36.0 x 22.0 x 7.0 cm So Yamato begins to save space finally. The VF-22S has a thinner box than the 1/60 v.2; and in terms of volume, it is now 58% of the 1/48 box (or the 1/60 YF-21 for that matter)!

The Minmay Guards BELONG to 1/48, I always think. The charm would be lost in the smaller 1/60. Macross Chronicles limited, I believe.

There would be a re-issue of the 1/48 Hikaru VF-1S in May, and the 1/60 Focker SSP in June.

I got my VF-25F last night at HK$201 (~US$25.7). I finally found one with a relatively clean face! And it is less floppy than my 25S. I used to think VF100 would be good for fighter mode. But the legs wouldn't stay in the engine position. I used to think VF100 gerwalk makes the best pose out of the 3 lines (DX, model, VF100). That is true, but I can't make it stand well in those cool poses. I need stands for this mode... Are the VF100 stands released? So at the end I pose them in battroid mode... which looks good.

I agree with you, and I hope we are both wrong. But it seems to be more likely that Bandai will do the VF-27 and the VF-171 first... And even the Vajras before the Monster.

Sorry for a trivial question... What're oracle stickers? I did try to google... but didn't see anything that seems to be relevant. Your works are amazing!

I start to wonder the typical sales of a Yamato product... It seems to me that 1,000 is sufficient to satisfy a good percentage of the market? Once I've thought that the 1000 limited Fan Racer would be very limited... But I can see the pre-order offer everywhere. P.S. I passed when I saw Fan Racer at HK$450 (US$58). But I fell for HK$400 (US$51). Now this is price-sensitive.

I just learnt from TD that the price for the 25F Armor parts would be 6500 yen (information source: Hobby Japan). It's expensive but I want quite badly for a final-assault-custom-full-armor-badass-saluter 25F.

I actually kept an Excel sheet for all my macross toys. With the prices. Hmm... I don't want to state how much I spent too.

Yes, I pre-ordered in a local shop (ordered all my MF web-exclusive stuffs from them). I think the price is 6000 yen; determined from that the price of 25F, 25F Super Parts, Super 25G are 12000yen, 4000yen and 16000yen respectively, and we know that Armroed 25S is 18000yen. Believe they may be better informed, or they already charged at a premium and can absorb the difference if it turns out to be higher.

Thanks for the info! So M7 license is now not exclusive... So THEORETICALLY Bandai can do their 1/100 VF100, and Yamato for the 1/60. Why I'm not surprised? I didn't think too much on the "VF-22 swap for VB-6" thing. License rights are not meant to be transferable, right?

While mid-May is official information from the site, here is some more unconfirmed information. The shop I preordered said it would be released by September.

It's delayed to mid-May. Think it would not be postponed again.

Has yet to take pics for others... Will take the Skull Squad photos when all TV and DYRL Max/Kakizaki 1As are out!
