We're not really supposeto talk about it from the toy companies stand point, even though I just did in my last post. But if they did both versions, as a customer which version would you choose? (Also where the heck is my Max figure for my empty Max Qrau? )

Awww... J, why do you have to ruin our fun with Whiney McWhinster? You reap what you sow right? Whinocerous is always snippy with his replies to everyone else (except he always adds that gay flavor). I just wasn't aware that he was a paying customer. And a paying customer should get what he wants, when he wants...

But didn't you brand yourself that? Look at your sig... just replace King with Nut... We understand the fact that 1/48 scale isn't the the drawing point, that why I used the words deluxe treatment meaning size, detail and better quality materials used... versus value versions which are smaller, less detailed with less features. The scope dog is a perfect example of the deluxe treatment. Why would Yamato risk an investment on an anime a lot more obscure than Macross and give it the deluxe treatment. And would it have been as successful if they just released a smaller version without all the bells and whistles? (OT - that Chirico figure kinda scares me seeing the quality Yamato put into the Appleseed figure... those movie version Appleseed figures were horrid and at a similar overpriced retail of the Chirico figure) It seems to me that the bigger verions are less of a risk than toy companies think. MPPrime vs. Robot Masters Prime, which sold more? One is an uber version with die-cast and the other is a value version upgraded to todays standards.

It think without that hideous grill the car looks ok. That's just Chrysler trying to appeal to 2 types of customers... luxury car and sportscar nut. I wouldn't get a Chrysler anyway, even if they got the look right.

Thanks, I appreciate a well thought out response. Is it my imagination then that the bigger toys are more successful? And the as much as a well detailed smaller version would be welcomed it's almost as though, with Macross toys, such treatment can never be expected. I mean sure the the Q-rau is 1/60 and the Konig is 1/100 but both were given the 1/48 type care as far as sculpt. A few people complained about the sculpt of the Q-rau, but I think it was more due to it's overpricing. I'm pretty happy with my 1/100 Destroids due to it's heft and poseability. I just wish I can display them all at once. But it seems to me that toys like those are so few and far away from being manufactured. The only thing that comes close to that are the SOCs. But even then I believe that if the SOCs were bigger then the collectors would turn their sights toward those larger pieces.

The worse it gets, the better this thread is... but some of these are amazing... specially NERV's EVA stuff... We would have never guessed... So let's see some Noriko goodness... MSPaint style!

Destroids are smaller than valks. The valks maybe skinnier but not when they have FPs on, they sould be as bulky.

I decided to post a whole new thread instead of derailing my poll. So are toys more successful if they got the deluxe treament or should the toy companies be concentrating on the value versions more? I know price is a factor. But for some reason the 1/48s are more successful than the 1/60s. So I believe that MWers would go towards detail and the deluxe treatment even if costs them a little bit more. People may say they want to save their money now, but as soon as it is announced, I know you guys will start ponying up the dough. Would the Monster be as wanted if it was 1/144 scale? Would the 1/100 VF-0 be vaporware if it would have got the deluxe treatment, meaning less parts swap and more detail? I don't believe so. The hype on that would have been a lot more positive if they had made it bigger. Are more people waiting for the 1/48 GBP since they held out on the 1/60 version? Is there anyone not getting the 1/48 GBP because they got the the 1/60 already. Would be people like Godzilla and Kensei be sucking up all the 1/60s if the 1/48s weren't around? And Destroids are smaller than valks. The valks maybe skinnier but not when they have FPs on, they sould be as bulky.

Last time I checked, this is posted this under "Feedback for the staff". Feedback is exactly what I left. All you are doing is flapping your gums. So, does anyone with an IQ over 80 have anything to actually add to the topic at hand, or shall we just close this thread? I don't really flap my gums when I type... I'd suggest you quit doing it too... Since when is whining and demanding feedback anyway?

So what you guys are saying is you're basing your decision on price not scale. Say company X offered 1:60 Destroids $20 and 1:48 Destroids for $30. Just to get the pricing off your head... so far Chowser's answer is the only one that makes sense to me. Again... what scale would complete the look of your display...

If you spent half the time you spend making whiny/angry/negative posts and use that time to make a board skin, you'd have a rockin' skin by now. If you want one so bad, make it yourself. I mean, really, obviously the current design doesn't bother too much or else we'd see some sort of skin project going on. Haha... you mean make his own skin and stop getting under ours? ... Maybe someone should stop thinking they're part of the board's admin team already and should start his own site... Macrossworldest...

Yeah she is. http://imdb.com/name/nm0661825/ 6 March 1979 Seoul, South Korea Hmmm....not that much younger then me....she's fair game! hmmm... must rent....

I said if not necessarily from Yamato... Let's just say what scale would you prefer to display... I'm not asking how tight your budget is.

Not necessarily asking Yamato to do this, but I'm just wondering which scale would you rather have your SDF/DYRL? Destroids scaled to if given the choice. Don't make this a "please yamato, make me my dream toy" thread.

Are they all flat or do any of them come pre textured or with patterns?

Neither do we. As soon as Nick figures it out I'm sure he'll announce it.

I just realized that this Macross is half french.

not as disturbing as yours! I use paypal all the time!

Awesome one!!!

TETSUO!!!

haha, those alphas are what you call loss leaders. Good luck to your friend.

Those are easily available in hobby shops.. if you don't have one near you try Micromark.com

See if you can guess where this is from....
