I agree with Graham regarding the transformation toys, especially in the Macross category. If I was Bandai first I would make a MG VF-25 with metal joints to test the market because now a days the price factor is very important to a consumer, that’s why I never owned a SOC or any of the Yamato Valks or the other mecha, just the 1/55 and the old 1/60 VF-1, one only. Also I would produce a 1/100 FIX with hard ABS frame system.
I think Bandai should focus the valk production more for HG/MG kits because of the cost beside MSG franchise.
