Yup... what he said. Also, given the chance I think Yamato would love to make Macross their Gundam franchise, so maybe down the line there will be more variety to what you will get. Everyone is just speculating on what they know now, but we can never really guess what they have in mind. Based on the helmet, we clearly have no understanding on what's next.

I noticed that voting doesn't bump it up to the top of the section anymore. It's a poll...

You maybe right, but I got my Gakken for $20 back when it was being produced. And at that time it was one of the best toys out there. Toys like the Gakken shouldn't be much more than that now. Maybe even more if it was still being produced domestically. I wouldn't hesitate to pick up the Toynami Alpha if they sold it for what it's worth. An Alternator is $20 at Target. Even with it's limited release it should still be under the $40 mark.

I'm praying for it to... Brothers? You'd think Nina would keep here eye on Jack...

preorder And in the wrong section...

these are not the valks you're looking for...

EXO, You even stated in your recent post that you yourself will wait for a bigger version. Given that the valk is cheap enough, yeah, I'll probably end up giving in and buying it as well. In response to the tone of your remark however, I think customers have the right to question, speculate, opinionate, and to some extent, complain about products both in production and post production. Yeah, people can simply buy it or choose not to... BUT just like your previous post suggesting your probable decision, it's just not that simple. People seriously form loyalty and habits to all this. Knowing this, I think yamato should be more accessible to opinions of their loyal fans. Many of you people say "yamato doesn't owe anyone anything", "it's just toys" etc. etc... yeah, technically they don't and yes, they might be just toys, but it's yamato's core business. Even a simple minded person should know that in any business, the customer's opinion always comes first. Given that yamato has a fan based consumer following, this logic should be practiced even further. Unfortunately, it's really not the case. Anyway, Really. Being annoyed at whiners and flamers is one thing... But to blast away any sort of criticism reaching the vicinity of yamato because some of you believe "they don't owe us nothing", is just plain fascist. Everyone has the right to voice their opinion. That's the BEAUTY & PURPOSE of a forum. read my post again... sure the customers have the right to speculate and opinionate, but some people think that they customize it people's certain tastes. The only vote that matters for them is the that raises or lowers their profit margin. Some people here think that Yamato goes thru this threads and takes notes. "The 1/100 is not good enough" or "it's good enough, but not with removeable parts" or "it better be cheap" I'm just saying. the only way you can affect them is if you do or don't buy their products. And even then you or anyone else on these boards know how they will take the response. If the 1/100 fails does it mean to them that the fans wanted a bigger one? Or the fans are not interested in the Vf-0s at all? I wasn't aiming the response to you, I just ended up taking what you said and used it for my general statement.

How can we motivate you to quit your job and lock yourself in the basement to finish it???

As much as I would like to see some prices on the things on there I can understand why people don't put their prices up. I appreciate the sellers that post their stuff here for a week before putting it on eBay and gives us a chance at it before the rest of the world. What I can't stand is people that put up their auctions in the For Sale section. The people here know it's a fairly unmoderated section, meaning no rules or guarantees from the site itself. (Or they better know before doing business).

Doubly wow, Jung... thanks for sharing all your stuff with us lately!

Yamato's not kidding anyone. They make stuff. You buy it or you don't.

I'd like to say that I wouldn't be buying one of these in favor of waiting for a bigger one. But I know I'd be lying to myself. As soon as I see it at Frank and Sons, I'm going to pick it up... look at it... and before I even know it I'll be accepting my change after paying for the damn thing. It's a disease.

original thread

That's just beautiful. Something for us BGC fans to look forward to! Keep us updated.

That was posted here on MW by the guy that made that model. It's in the models section. Excellent work.

It's like peircing your tongue. People do it to be original, but yet everyone is doing it.

I noticed that too. Also, the gunpods. I don't know if it's the same one but this is the second time I seen your custom without the tip. Maybe it a kosher gunpod.

That's kinda a good idea. So Exo, how did your 1/48 valk stand up to him? My 8 yr old nephew is very respectful of other's people stuff. At first he never wanted to touch the valk because it was so complicated. He has a 1/55 Roy that I gave him. I also dumped my MPC on him. Yesterday when I was putting stickers on it,he asked if he could try to transform it. I showed him how to do it once and I let him try it until he didn't have to ask questions anymore. He handled it like an adult collector. On the other hand he has a 13 yr. old brother I wouldn't let near my 1/48s. What a good nephew of yours Exo! His parents did a good job raising him. You got a smart nephew there. LOL... don't know if it's the parenting... he has a 1 and 6 mos brother that the Tazmanian Devil in disguise. he got a hold of a bootleg (the one with a light up canopy) and proceeded to tear it apart in less than a minute. Luckily it was just a bootleg.

Pretty lame. Typical Nikita (trained killer goes after the trainer) story. Try Mezzo Forte by the same director.

LOL! Which MPC did you mean? The prime? Then most likely, yes. The Alternator line is the Americanized version of the Binaltech line in Japan. They are the updated version of the G1 TFs using current issues of actual cars. The Alternators have a plastic body as oppose to the BTs which have die cast and all are scaled at 1:24. The MPC Prime is not part of this line but they are all part of the 20 Anniversary rerelease.

Maybe this is where a little pavlovian treatment might be useful. Just give them mild electric shocks everytime they're about to touch one of your valks. If twitching occurs, please stop treatment immediately.

Shawn made a post somewhere about working 75 hrs last week. I'm on the same schedule right now and I'm telling you there no time for anything else outside of work... luckily I surf MW while I'm here at work...

Expect variants I'm looking forward to having a mixed squadron of VF-0S, VF-0A and VF-0D. Now, just gotta persuade Yamato to make a 1/100 scale Asuka II complete with Destroid Cheyennes Graham Don't forget the armor!!! Or maybe you DON'T have too mention it... hmmm... j/k just trying to feed the fire...
