BTW...since you are new...you currently have an opportunity to get in on two separate Macross toy scales....the widely accepted standard of 1/60 (offered mostly by Arcadia (fka Yamato) and Bandai) and the often attempted 1/100 scale....currently being re-launched by Bandai's Hi-Metal R line (the name does not imply "high metal content"....but gives homage to the glory days of 80's Bandai Hi-Metal Macross toys)... Here is the link to the discussion on the 1/100 Hi Metal R line.....the pre-order for the first release is later tonight...the GBP-1J.... http://www.macrossworld.com/mwf/index.php?showtopic=41926

It was probably just a placeholder...but yeah...I have a bad feeling about this one.....

Closed!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ***edit.....placeholder? " *Hi-Metal R VF-1J Armored Valkyrie preorders will start at PM4:00 of 1st May, Japan time[GMT+9] (Completed)

Bandai owns the mold now...it would be interesting if the decided to sell a pre-built one.....it would be an instant buy for me

Hello and Welcome to Macross World and to Macross collecting!!! There are several existing threads that will contain the info you seek.... For webshops used to purhcase Macross toys: http://www.macrossworld.com/mwf/index.php?showtopic=41210 You can also search for Macross toys and collectibles on Yahoo Japan Auctions and Mandarake...for YJA you will need a proxy service like Buyee or Rinkya....there is a thread that compares the pros and cons of several proxies...just use the "search" tool to locate it.... Here are some ongoing threads were folks list items spotted on YJA and Mandarake.... http://www.macrossworld.com/mwf/index.php?showtopic=41093 http://www.macrossworld.com/mwf/index.php?showtopic=41092 There are several good review sites for Macross toys, but I usually recommend this one: http://www.anymoon.com/blog/ Additionally, everything you want to know about the various mecha from Macross can be found here: http://www.macross2.net/m3/m3.html I'm not too much into podcasts, but go to the Macross World main page for links to one associated with this site....the main page is a good source for the latest Macross news in general, including new toy announcements... http://www.macrossworld.com/ However, the best place to get the latest news and discussions regarding released and upcoming Macross toys is the "Macross Toys" forums.... http://www.macrossworld.com/mwf/index.php?showforum=4 Finally, it is a good idea to run a search first before posting a new topic.....or simply posting your "Macross Toy FAQ" in this thread: http://www.macrossworld.com/mwf/index.php?showtopic=33093 Good Luck!.... ...and once again...Welcome to the World of Macross Collecting!

I had...until now....

Has that been confirmed somewhere? I thought it was a "retelling" of MM1 or MM2...or something like that.....

Yep...forgot about those.....I guess depending on what you want to classify as a "toy"...you can also add these little fellows...

heheh...I'll give them some credit on releasing the 1/100 Regult vinyls...but I guess now they are pointless too....poor Toynami yep....you get what you pay for I suppose... At 1/100...is this also possible???

No te entiendo....

I had forgotten all about the 1/100 GBP Toynami announced a while back...he sculpted that one too, no? What a waste of talent. Idiots! This release pretty much makes the Toynami pointless...

Bandai is pretty clever....or pure evil genius... They know that scores of Macross collectors are neck deep in the entire SDF Macross TV line from Yamato....in 1/60...... It would be tough to drop that line and go to a V3 (or DX?...yet)..........so they go balls out with a pretty complete line in 1/100....much cheaper and much easier to rationalize the double dip..... I have to admit...without the inclusion of the Destroids and Zentran mechs...this would be much easier to pass..... Way to go Bandai! Now all we need is this....do it!!!!! Take our money!!!!!

So unless Bandai is totally trolling us....they are hell-bent on bringing us a pretty decent 1/100 set of the most important SDFM mechas.... VF-1 Fab Five (VF-1S Roy, VF-1J Hikaru, MAx & Milia VF-1Js, and the VF-1A Standard Type) Potentially all of the Destroids - ALL OF THEM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The Regult (and how easy would it be for them to sell websclusive weapons packs and a Scout Regult?) The Glaug!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Bandai is making collecting Macross Toys fun again!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Don't forget the blue Phalanx variant!

Not nearly enough exclamation marks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

There hasn't been a Glaug toy since.....well....this... All we need now is the addition of the Tomahawk, Defender, and Phalanx....it's good to be a Macross Fan!

Glaug!!!!

One can dream

This thread is to post SOLD data.... Crazy auction links go here: http://www.macrossworld.com/mwf/index.php?showtopic=18530

My valks have not been released: VF-9 VF-14 M+ ver VF-14 M3 ver VF-11MAXL VF-17T VA-3 D7 ver VF-5000 D7 ver

Not sure....if their past releases are any indication....they could announce a date tomorrow and easily break it 3 times over before it actually hits the shelves...

Was wondering who would be the first to try those out...they look nice...Now you need to populate them... http://www.macrossworld.com/mwf/index.php?showtopic=41631&p=1187052

Always thought it was "inspired" from this emblem....

Thank you for your responses! I am trying to find out if anyone during 1984-1987 could recall seeing a very unusual, probably "one of a kind" Takatoku Macross toy in one of the stores selling Japanese toys in Lima, Peru. This toy was not a toy that was released for sale to anyone, it would have been a store display or perhaps a promotional item. If you had seen this, you would know it was not a regular Takatoku toy that anyone could have bought. Because I have only been told about this alleged toy by one person, I do not want to say what it is, in hopes that someone else can identify the same toy to me...which would help make it more possible for it to be true. For now, it may just be a case of someone thinking they saw it, a cloudy childhood memory! Gracias por sus respuestas! Estoy tratando de averiguar si alguien durante 1984-1987 recordaba haber visto una, probablemente juguete Takatoku Macross muy inusual "único en su clase" en una de las tiendas de venta de juguetes japoneses en Lima, Perú. Este juguete no era un juguete que fue lanzado a la venta a cualquier persona, que habría sido una exhibición de la tienda o tal vez un artículo promocional. Si usted hubiera visto esto, usted sabría que no era un juguete regulares Takatoku que cualquiera podría haber comprado. Porque sólo se han dicho sobre este presunto juguete por una sola persona, no quiero decir lo que es, con la esperanza de que alguien más puede identificar el mismo juguete para mí ... lo que ayudaría a que sea más posible para que sea cierto. Por ahora, sólo puede ser un caso de alguien que piensa que lo vieron, un recuerdo de infancia nublado!
