How many pieces were made?

Could not find info on this So what does reputation represent in your profile. How does it build up. What is the rating system.

WOw I like that. I ordered my first HOT TOYS IRON MAN War Machine Figure a week ago. If I like it I might get the Iron Man V battle Suit. Also Liking the Tron Cycle

Question on origins of both TV and Movie SDF-1 Was it ever explained why there are two different versions of the ship.

no need to fret. Lots of people on your side of the Camp. I Paid 400 for the SOC Aquarion because of the complexity and metal. But Now throwing HARD earned 400 bucks on a toy i cant justify unless you really have that kind of disposable income. Last year I threw 300 on the PG 00 Raiser. Not worth it. 250 is the absolute max for a single toy for me. This SDF-1 one is a beautiful Toy no doubt, but it may be in our collections yet. HLJ has a new Macross Sale and the SOC Quarter is now 50% off! We could see this ship reduced in some crazy sale. And im happy with my Wave. For those of you that hate your wave now that you have your Yammy please, feel free to ship to me I will gladly take your ugly SDF off your hands

well as horribly inaccurate as it is I like that it doesnt have that massive gap. Just looks like its a robot sleeping. Graham I would love a completely TV Lineart Accurate version. Not just a TV colored version of the Movie SDF-1 one. Yes you can add new arms but a lot of the TV version is pretty different as shown with the pics above

Sigh.... In the Astro Plan thread I said that the original thing Chinese know how to do... is to deny "Officials at Floraland theme park denied the statue's existence on Monday. This goes against earlier claims that the statue was an original design - despite the prominent "EFSF" and "WB" logos on its shoulders (standing for "Earth Federation Space Force" and "White Base," respectively). Of course, it also goes against all photographic evidence, but who's counting?" Need I say more. TO keep the thread from derailing I got the MG and PG Red Frame from Astray for Christmas Family Guy or American Dad should do a skit. Peter and Louis are visiting China and see the Gundam statue and say hey its the gundam statue then there is a party member guarding the statue that responds no its not. Peter shows his gundam model, Party members response No its not. Peter here look I have the original DVD see its a gundam, Party member; no its not. The peter punches him in the face and turns to louis run~!

haha trolling yeah. I give my opinion on a truly horribly atrocious story. I think I would like Astro Plan more.....UC? I barely know anything about the series. I had to watch zeta and post questions on another board to understand. I just got into UC late last year. Saw MS08th Team in Dec 09 and Star Dust Memory around June '10. I have big fuzzy feeling for Wing which was the first Gundam show I ever saw straight out of university. And I really liked the First Season of 00. Second season was so so. Some nice heart breaking episodes in season 2 but the movie, I could not connect with any of the characters, the gundam battles, well how could you tell what was going on when everything was a blur. The enemy was weak, plot holes galore. Just because you may be a fan doesn't mean everything spit out is to be treated with enthusiasm. This could have really been something. The macross movie was really enjoyable and made sense. This was a story done in a bathroom on a role of toilet paper. But hey if you like it good for you. I guess with age you just develop better tastes.

I feel the same way too. But! BUT! This toy could have had the nice paint apps that could wow us. Look at the love the Yamato 1/24 Patlabor got. Detail. Gimmicks. And one beautiful paint app. Now when it first came out it also went for around $400 CDN but I waited, waited some more, was about to buy the blue one and then I found a new one on ebay for less than 200 bucks. Like someone already said, Yamato may come out with a weathering version. If that is the case this one may drop in price. Me personally I hope sales go well for Yamato. I would really like to see the TV version Actually, judging by your Gunpla pics your pretty good with an airbrush, you could make this SDF look so nice.

385.93 CDN Too rich for my blood. You guys must have good Wives and Decent Jobs

Nice Review It does look nice. But it really needs more paint apps. The grey plain plastic look...sigh,so much potential to spruce it up with paint. It might help to take a gundam marker to highlight all the panel lining. And Macross city could use a painters touch as well. One thing. On my wave the feet tilt, does the feet tilt on this toy? "Will Yamato release a 1:3000 scale TV version SDF-1 Macross next? Well, they are still undecided and a large part of that decision may well depend on how well this DYRL version sells. To release a 100% accurate TV version would require almost all new tooling, which is a very expensive proposition. So if the DYRL version sells very well (and preorder indications are very positive), we could possibly get a TV version sometime in the future." I hope it does sell well so we can get a TV version Looking at your picture here really makes me want a TV version. And the rating seems suitable..even with the paint apps missing. The transformation seems solid!G-man is it possible to bring the ARMD ships closer to the legs to take away that gap that the WAVE Version doesnt have?

I could look forward to this if done right. I have a book of HL GIGERs collection of sketches and art and his stuff is amazing in its blending of erotic horror. One thing to note is that he was so disgusted after the 2nd movie at how they turned his aliens into gushy fleshy slimy abominations I think he vowed never to work on creature designs on any alien movie. IIRC S. Weaver was really unhappy with the direction of the 3 and 4th film as well. If they do prequel they need to bring back Giger as creature designer. His designs were a larger contributor to the movies success and it will be fitting to bring him back

I just watched this horror story My review Pew Pew Introduce cast PEW PEW PEW DUM DUM DAAAAAAA Gundumoooouuuuuuu PEW PEW PEW who shooting who and what the f&^k is that GRAHAM??? PEW PEW PEW Setsna SETSNA AAAAAA! que Music PEW PEW PEW Lazer show que in boogie night ah ah ah ah stayin aaaaalaaaa aaaaaaalive PEW PEW GRAHAM SETSUNA GRAHAM SETSUNA GUNDUMOOOOOU pEw PEW PEW Blue red white and pink o my PEW PEW GIANT FU&^()ING flower end credits Seriously WTF This by far has to be the WORST WOOOOOOOOOOOORRRRRRRRSSSSSST gundam movie eva!~PEW PEW. Really Bandai take a que from Bay. Just because he likes collagen chics and splosians it doesnt mean you can mix it in with a rich historical genre that has evolved over time. Throwing in laser beams of PINK hell and watching gundams at the spead of supersonic light doesn't make me say woooooooooow. Also the Alien enemy doesn't need to be shards of crystal needle threads pew pew. PEw... I loved MS08th Team, Stardust Memory and even the annotated Zeta Movies. Even the Unicorn has a very nice progressive story. Wing wasn't UC but the movie kicked ass! THIS SUCKED ALL THE WAY TO STAR DRIVER pew pew PEW GUNDAMOOOOOOUUUUUUUUUUUUU End Review Rant

Nice RG I just finished my Zaku. Need to finish the decaling on my RX-78. These RG are really great.

That pissed me off immensely. Thats why when I saw the Yammy SDF 1 I decided by the pics and comparison to the Quarter IM going to pass unless I see it on discount. I really like my WAVE Version and I think Bandai will followup with their own SOC version of the SDF. Now if it was the TV version Im all in! Yes the Gooobermant sucks but its also the box and carrier that tips them off. HLJ response to me was very Very positive and they said they are playing with the idea of giving buyers the option to chose marked/unmarked boxes Either way I have promised my wife and my dad that this year I was going to take a break from collecting. I still have some pre-orders due at HLJ and BBTS but after I get the PG Strike thats it for a 1 year. I am going to go back to school and concentrate on starting my business and webpage. Time to grow up in some sense

IM going to Pass on this. Unless I see it on discount. Looking at these early pics I cant justify the price point at the size of the Quarter. I am very content with my Wave. Now if they make a TV version . SHaaaaBANG!

God Bless MW Without it I'd be a fool

I cant believe how many people fell for the hype of 3d. That poo just makes me dizzy and ill. Tried to view the new 3d tv and I had to take the glasses after 3 min watching some demo football game. My wife lasted 30 seconds. My kid lasted 1. Its just a tool to stop pirating and pass the headache on to the consumer.

Well I got a positive response from HLJ. It seems I am not the only one getting dinged because of the logos on their box. They are now considering either getting rid of the logo which is an unnecessary cost. Marketing should not be a factor in logistics. The Online image should be tho. Or they will give the buyer the option. In all in all the fact they considered the customers concerns still rates a 5/5 with me in terms of online retailers.

I know they do try hard but today after the FEDEX guy got into an argument with me I had to write to HLJ; I know its not your fault and you will plead the 5th but Shipping is as much about service as the product you sell. And since your an online entity you depend more on word of mouth for your business so when word of mouth spreads over the collectors boards that will hurt your bottom line. My rant here is about shipping. I have asked numerous times about your boxes not to have the dam logo. I really could care less about a stupid logo on my box because all it will end up is in a landfill. Normally any purchase from an ebay vendor does not get charged customs fees and here in Canada its rather arbitrary to the point of it being sometimes 50% of the price of the product!!! I believe the LOGO is what tips off customs to go crazy. Now I dont know if you know but in Ontario Canada, we have taxes on top of taxes with a sprinkle of some more taxes. Now you gave me a discount on fedex shipping. And something I have learned a long time ago when I started importing collectibles is to never, NEVER use UPS or Fedex because 100% of the time even if the item is less than the $60 allowance, I get dinged! So today I paid 20 bucks for a 50 dollar item. With our GST/HST/PST it should be only $6bucks tax. So you do the math and you can see that at almost 50% tax rate is sheer bullshit. Again I know you will plead the 5th. But I know you strive to improve your business by improving customer satisfaction. I hope you use this as an informational tool in your promotions. I had made the mistake of being fooled with the $8 shipping discount with Fedex. I wont make that mistake again and will only, ONLY use EMS. I know you do your best but there is always room for improvement I hope you continue to pursue making your business the best it can be... FYI The GOVofCAN has not allowed UPS to compete with Canada Post as an alternative logistics Carrier. Here is one comment in regards to this "i know i hate UPS, whenever i get stuff sent to me with them i always get larger fees than other courier's I personaly use Canada Post/purolator" Trust me the Same can be said for Fedfex!

for those of you who hate the TF3 Megatron figure. You will appreciate the figure much more after you see the TF3 optimus prime figure which makes one want to vomit large junks of their organs. If this is a movie representation my anticipation that Bay will redeem himself after the colossal failure of the last 2 is out the window. F&%k y^$ bay and hasbro for allowing sh%$ like this..... I dont feel like even playing with draw to remove the watermark Just google Transformers: Dark of the Moon Optimus Prime figure and you will see what I mean

I didnt know that. I did read that when the movie came out there was talk about theft and Martin Scorsese made a comment it wasn't copied. But if that is the case it just proves my point that the international Copy Right industry must pursue violators of original licensing content etc in china .

AWESOME NEW VIDEO GAME

meh I'll star in it for the price of 2 1/3000 SDF's or they can just yamato me two of them
