Don't tell that to davidwhangchoi...the leading MW grading expert on Mint-in-Box-Wrapped-in-Factory-Tissue-Paper-inside-Mint-Sealed-Shipping-Boxes...adding graphics to the shipping boxes would just take collecting to a whole other level!

Well....that could still be on someone's plans....

1/5700 Macross Block-System SDF-1 produced by Takatoku Toys....

Arcadia simply needs to "screw up" and release it in SDFM VF-1 TV white....make the nose "tan-ish"....and heck, they can even forget the tampo...all would be forgiven!

Whoever is in charge of the Hi-Metal R lineup must be a Takatoku old school fan.....they are starting off with the Destroids in 1/100 exactly where Takatoku left off with their 1/100 Conversion Kit that included the Tomahawk, Defender, and Phalanx....the "sculpts" of the Spartan and Monster actually fit in very well with the old sculpts created originally by Takatoku in 1983.......

With all the recent Delta news, Hi Metal-R craziness, and the recently announced second coming of the VF-4......Evolution Toys really needs to show off those SAP designs they claim are already done.........or face becoming irrelevant before their -2SS even hits the internet shelves.... More Macross is good...but it's suddenly getting kind of crowded....would really hate for this thing to fail on the first try.....and without SAP!

LOL.....but now that you mention not having the VF-X............. What Yamato/Arcadia VF PT toy becomes the new holy grail for completists? I figured the popular valks like the VF-4, VF-1D and Max & Milia VF-1J's would eventually see a re-release.....but I still don't see VFs like the VF-X, Virgin Road -1D, and Angel Birds ever getting a second release.........Still the reissue of the VF-4 gives some hope...even if it just a fool's hope....

Huh? Are you saying that your VF-X did not come with a BigWest disclaimer strictly prohibiting the use of the VF-X's landing gear? You need to check your box dude! But, yeah.....no way Yamato back then...or Arcadia today...would need to retool their mold just so it does not transform or to eliminate a feature not seen on the lineart..... It's all about the price and/or availability of the FB2012 license.....

Exactly....I think someone gave the reason why we cannot get a FB2012 VF-4 due to "transformation issues" and it somehow stuck as internet fact.... Yamato wasn't going to waste money on a new non transforming VF-1 mold just to satisfy the "non-transformation" requirement for the VF-X........same thing now would apply with the FB2012 version of the VF-4........ BW is simply just asking more than Arcadia and Yamato is/was willing to pay for the license.....or it is just not available....and/or still in Bandai's hands! Bandai had it last....so if anyone knows what a license for a FB2012 VF-4 costs, in any scale or configuration, it is Bandai!

Now that the VF-4G has been released....if the concern is over "transformation" then just handle it like they handled the VF-X release...which also should not be able to "transform".... BW is just charging too much for the license in 1/60-ish scale...........or maybe Bandai already snatched it?

Bandai should get the Macross the First license and do a MtF SDF-1, VF-1J, VF-1D and VF-4!!! Plus Super VF-1's with the crazy fast-packs!

Pink Pecker Squadron VF-11B = InstaBuy!

Exactly why many keep it in fighter mode...

Here's hoping Arcadia will simply just screw up the colors again.....in a good way!

Who's worried about getting collections stolen?....we are talking purely about preservation son!

So what else can possibly come from a VF-X license?

Gulp! Just noticed that was post #666......guess I'll have to add Armageddon to the list!!

Maybe you were thinking of Shawn's collection.....we have many of the same things....the redundancy ensures one of our collections survives in case of a nuclear catastrophe...or the Big One...whichever comes first!

I'm afraid MWCon has never had that pleasure.....

Get the Yamato.....not only will he have a Macross toy...but he will gain valuable lessons in patience and perseverance! * warning - he may become too comfortable with some harsh words along the way!

Has to start somewhere..... If it gets enough support this time around....who knows where it may go to next....
