My problem with the size is that it's not one of the existing 3 scales Yamato already has out for Macross toys. I would definitely buy one in any of those scale just for variety in that scale. I give Yamato the thumbs down on that one. The only real benefits of the smaller scale are price and space consumption. I agree with Spiff on his points. We have shown that Macross fans are willing to pay more for a well made toy. It's that belief that has me banking on Yamato making a bigger size soon. And sure, we all want cheaper toys, but is there really anything you purchase you don't wish was a little cheaper? I don't think the 1/72 scale would've been so much of a jump in price, especially in all plastic, that it couldn't still be considered inexpensive. After import costs and exchange rates, it's still not going to be "cheap" over here in the US anyways. As for space consumption, I guess I'm a product of American culture, and I like big cars, big guns, and big toys, or maybe it's the fact that, dammit, I prefer perfect transformation, something about it makes it just that much easier for me to suspend my disbelief. Plus, what's the point of using computers to aid in transformation design, if things like nosecones have to be shortened in order to "get the right purportions" . That's a big disappointment for me in the design of the VF-0 IMO Yamato's plan is, since MacZero is a new series, they want to attract a younger audience in Japan. This in turn gives me hope that they really are planning on launching a new Macross series. (All fingers and toes crossed, not only for a new series, but that it's not as farfetched as Mac7 ) Will I buy it? Maybe,...eventually. First editions of anything, from new toys to new cars, are usually plagued with problems. Plus, if they're really that cheap, I might wait until three or four different models like the 0D, 0A, and Anti UN come out and get them as a set. But frankly, had it been in one of the other existing scales, none of that would have mattered to me. The ability to compare it to mecha from other series would have made the first VF-0 no longer a "will get toy" and instead a "must have right away toy." That's my opinion.

50 characters is a bit small don't you think? <--------This sentence alone is 44 characters. Can we change it back and just ask people to not let their signatures be eyesores?

toes too

But when will "then" be "now"?

It's not you, Geocities is a bit tempermental.

No......wait, let me rephrase that. No.

It's in the Design Works. Go here for more info.

That must be Samuel L. Jackson's VF......'cause it's got "Bad Mother F***er" written all over it. Absolutely beautiful.

There's the root of your problem right there. It's much more exciting if you don't warn her first. ....ouch

Minmay Guard, Blue Roses, Enigma, and the Low Vis schemes all started out as customs in Model Graphix. You can see them here: http://www.macrossworld.com/macross/magazi...odelgraphix.htm Enjoy! Edit: How did I forget to mention the beautiful Thunder Hammer (Thunder Hummer)?

Graham should put the pics in the Newsletter section of MW. It would take days for anyone to find them.

Maybe as early as today. Graham wrote this: in this thread on Sunday: http://www.macrossworld.com/mwf/index.php?...=4&t=4612&st=60

Hello, welcome to the boards.

I'm hoping it's "all of the above" or at least "a large portion of the above". Graham never said the pics were going to be of only one new product.

Is this the thread you're looking for? http://www.macrossworld.com/mwf/index.php?...=ST&f=24&t=2818 If you're lloking for old threads, and know which forum they used to be in, go to that forum, (in this case, "How to Customize Macross Toys") and just under the listings, you should see adjustments for how far back you want it to list. If you just change the last 30 days to the begining, it'll now list every topic ever started in that forum, except of course deleted one.

That's a really cool tip. Maybe there's hope for all those armless Gakkens after all.

His brother's name is Cheesecutter. They were a part of of the Flatulators line. Just Kidding. Actually he's the orange car on Onslaught's trailer in picture 2.

William! Move your head! Look at the size of that boy's head! Shhhh! I'm not kidding, that's like an orange on a toothpick! Shh! You're going to give the kid a complex. Well, that's a huge noggin! That's a virtual planetoid! Has its own weather system! Head! Move! Head! Paper! Now! Move that melon of yours and get the paper, if you can! Haulin' that gargantuan cranium about. Shhh. I'm not kiddin', that boy's head's like Sputnik. Spherical, but quite pointy in parts... Uh, that was offsides, wasn't it? He'll be cryin' himself to sleep tonight on his huge pillow.

I thought my friends and I were the only people who use that expression.

Hell no on the supers, im going fastpackless from now on Are these going to be offered in a "no FP" version?

My wallet's crying already. edit: Dammit, I just bought the 1/60 versions.
