'48 to me is an odd scale for this line, IMO. I too wish they had kept it '60 so I could keep it in line with my other variable fighters. I also like what you said about game changing. When the yamato '48 came out five thousand years ago, it was indeed a game changer. Based on what I've seen, heard and read about the DX, it's great but definitely not a game changer. Add in that fact that I'm a total whore for fighter mode-only displays and the DX's improvements are lost on me...

The chunky IS the greatest valk of all time. What other variable fighter toy had the capability of taking your eye out, stock from the box with that murderous, missile firing GU11? Lol. As for a bandai versus yamato/Arcadia there is no conflict there for me. The higher cost and difficulty to purchase the DX will make it so that outside of Roy, I will not buy anything else. In reality, the only reason why I'm even buying the DX Roy is because I stopped collecting a long time ago and ironically never got a Roy, despite him being my favorite character and color scheme. From what I've seen, the changes on the DX versus the old '48s don't justify the new expense or headache of getting into this line. I do wish everyone else luck and happiness in your collecting endeavors though...

Certainly doesn't look like a $50 toy to me...

THIS. The MSRP is irrelevant when you will never, EVER find it at that price...

Super Macross Mecha Fun Time Discussion Thread!
myk replied to Valkyrie Driver's topic in Movies and TV Series
I hope not, Lucy was way more fun and seemed to have had a lot less baggage. I would've hoped that they stayed together but Isamu is a dog... -
I just looked into that Resurrection film; the dvd cover itself is 100% cringe. Is it really that bad?
-
Would that make him, LEADER 2? I was going to preorder this but then noticed they weren't showing any underside shots, in all likelihood to hide the kibble until after you've paid for it. I'll let other people get on this first and see. Cool...
-
Lemme know when you get that '1S and what you think, as I'd like to hear the opinion of someone who hasn't been mesmerized by the DX...yet lol. As for the low viz stuff, i'm so glad I bought that grey low viz '48 way back when as its still one of my favorites. Do you have the grey V2 low viz '1S also?

YEESH. Too rich for my blood...

Yeah, I remember when I first signed up for Macross World in like, 2001 or something. I was led here by Kevin Lam's pre-order, in his "Valkyrie Exchange" webstore, for the Yamato 1/72 'Plus Variable Fighters. I remember being ecstatic because no one, and I mean NO ONE around me was into anime, let alone Macross, so when I found a community full of like-minded fanbois I was happy. I think I remember my first thread too, entitled "Falling Fins," wherein I talked about the loose fins on my Yamato YF-21 and what to do about it. Man how time flies. Anyway, the idea of Kawamori re-doing original Macross depends mostly on what he feels about it. Is original Macross still a prevalent thing with him, or has he relegated that particular piece of work of his in the past? Has he ever commented on his feelings about original Macross recently? We old timers should get a special thread or a section of the boards or something; talk about what's happened to us and our toy habits over the last twenty or so years, lol...

Blows away the '48 and the V2? That's quite a statement. Also the weapons being sold separately is irritating and insulting to me. If it wasnt for roy I never would've given the DX a thought...
-
You mean Desslar's "why did we fight, why didnt we love one another..." or whatever he said, didn't justify your investment of time into the show at that point? Lol...
-
....yes....
-
Well, not impossible but just really expensive. The only ones I'd trust to buy, in new condition are listing at about $600. Why, oh why did I not buy it BITD at retail. So what was that guy's deal again? If he sabotages the yamato his kid gets cured right? But then that leaves the comet empire free to annihilate the earth anyway, right? I honestly don't remember...
-
Yay. Another HISS tank. Yay. Another AWE Striker. Yay. Someone wake me up when they reissue something remotely cool or fascinating like the Night Raven or the Thunderclap. Hell I'd settle for a reissue of the COBRA Bugg over the HISS tank and the AWE...
-
My issue with it was the story. Maybe it's my ADD but again, after the yamato stalled in space and got sucked into the comet empire the story no longer had any appeal to me. I have no idea or recollection as to why anything happened afterwards. Maybe it isnt my ADD, because 2199 had me glued to my screen from beginning to end...
-
I had no idea the GX57 had any issues! That's good to know!
-
All I know is that they need to come out with another SOC Andromeda. I mean, c'mon! Do you have the original GX 57, or whatever it was? I missed out on that one...
-
F**K. Lol. I don't know why but I always liked the Ostrich and never got one. I could do without the 'Seeker...

I'm out after I get a Roy...

Good to see you're still around too. Do you still have God-like powers?

Which Macross Character Do You Best Identify With?
myk replied to sqidd's topic in Movies and TV Series
Yes, actually! But I'm like a third his size so it's a personality thing... -
Did you take pictures of that mess?
-
I just live in debt up to my eyeballs. Why not? You cant take the money with you and you could be dead tomorrow...
-
You should! Its worth it for the ship porn alone!
