So does this thing transform? Or is it just a small model, if it doesn't transform what is the use of this thing even existing?

I'm gonna have to say no, it's just a slightly altered 1J, Yamato needs to make something worth while, new designs that aren't out yet, a VF-4, or a VF-2SS, I really think they should consider more original stuff instead of the same thing over and over.

Everyone uses toynami 1/100 decals, I had a couple in the past that broke but I never applied the decals so I used those for my Max and Hikaru 1J's, and my strike 1S.

I got a low viz special or collectors of whatever edition, a cannon fodder 1A and 1J M&M's, they all broke within a week. I found them ugly, cheap, and very brittle, but that's just my take, I've heard others say their figures are fine, that and I don't know if the ones I had were even version 2 or not, I got them all at the same time. A lot of people like the cheap price, but I'd say from personal experience, PASS.

Well I pre-ordered the whole squad and s/s parts, now I just have to play the LONG waiting game. Oh and I actually got 4 s/s parts, my Hikaru 1J needs the upgrade as well.

1/60 MONSTER!!!

I may be interested in a 1/60 blazer valk, but this thing looks awful to me, the paint, the face, it all adds up.

This is probably the ONLY mac frontier mech/vehicle I'd like to get, which sucks because it's exclusive and too damn expensive.

If you have a Kakizaki DYRL 1A I'd say go for that, I think it's the best color scheme of any of the DYRL valks. Something about green on a valk just gets me.

I'd NEVER get a 1/60 yf-21/vf-22, or yf-19/vf-19, they're probably my least favorite designs, but, if some smaller scale hi-metals were released I might be game. I know I know we have the blazer and the fire but I hate both of those schemes and the fire valks goofy megazord face, but a hi-metal mac plus yf 21 and 19, oh yea.

I really don't want any more macross stuff for now, I'm trying to expand my collection. I just ordered a 1/24 Patlabor command car from hlj though, I also got a unit 1 ingram from low-alt right here on MW, now if hlj had a 1/24 unit 2 ingram on sale, it would be all mine.

My roommate still hasn't received his, I told him not to use ebay, I've had paint and gundam markers ready for weeks.

My roommate just got his, it took forever but I guess that's cause he actually ended up using ebay. No arguing the detail is good, but the unpainted, pain in the ass to get out city bugs me. Still hoping for a TV release.

Yea people shouldn't have to do all that to get to the city, it should have come painted or at least came detachable......

I'm not really hating, it's detailed yes, but yamato could have at least lightly painted the city or at least made it removable so it would be more accessible to fans who want to paint it themselves. And don't joke about the arms, this is yamato we're talking about.

What? Why the heck would you blow money on a 1/3000 sdf-1 when you've got that AMAZING 1/2000?

The more I look over it the more I think yamato cheaped out once again. The overall paint is okay I guess, but come on, they could have did some minor paint detail on macross city, instead they shipped it flat back? If they didn't want to paint it they could have made the city removable so it would be easier to color the backdrop and the city ourselves, yamato really dropped the ball yet again. I was eyeballing one of these on ebay but every time I look at it then the price I get urked, so I just ordered a hot toys 1/6 dark knight dx-02. I'm still looking forward to a possible TV release, but I'm just really not okay with how they handled this one.

Ah easy pass, the quarter looks like a giant robot on a water slip n slide, that aside I don't like frontier stuff. My roommate got a 1/3000 sdf-1 apparently, I may repaint it and some tiny valks from my personal collection.

My roommate just texted me, apparently he got one of these and has at on the way to our apartment already, from HLJ no less, I didn't even know he knew about that site let alone shopped there. Now I don't even have to buy one, our toy displays are mixed against one wall, nice!

It looks good, but I still want a TV version, the thing I'm still wondering is why the HELL did yamato do a DRYL version first? I think the popular vote would easily go to TV, so now we have to wait on the sales of this thing to see if we will even get a later released TV version, ah yamato.....

Oh no it's a classic matchbox diecast beast, I usually look for buy it nows but this auction had only 7 bidders and it was below a hundred bucks, here in the states, new, and ending in four minutes from when I spotted it! Good timing, anyhow it's diecast which I've never painted but first comes more detailing, I'll treat it like my classic star destroyer models.

Speak of the devil, I just won an auction for a new in box matchbox sdf-1, it's the TV version, it's new, and I got it for only $80 after shipping. I'm gonna repaint and maybe customize it with some styrene pieces like I did all my star destroyer models.

For valks yes, but I still don't have a good sdf-1, and I think that'll pretty much complete my macross collecting next the to hi-metal bandai line.

I'm still holding out hoping for a TV version, the difference is that big to me, and I'm still not convinced that I'd be getting my money's worth for about $400 after shipping for this thing.

After shipping I paid $77, so not too bad at all, enjoy! I think this is a great figure.
