I would gather a majority would rely on a guide in more detail when transforming a 262. I can say for sure i did, and in fact i still rely on a 262 guide more than the 31, even after transforming it. Whereas for the 31, I attempted to transform it first (based on previous experience), and then do a dbl chck on the guide just to be sure.

Am not comparing DX vs kit, rather addressing the fact a 262 is more difficult to transform than a 31. By its nature the 262 would be, because its has a different layout of arms, legs etc compared to the typical valk layout we have been used to. For macross fans already familiar transforming the vf-1 or vf-29, 30, they can anticipate where the body parts are in the 31. It would be more familiar and less uncomfortable in attacking the transformation in that sense.

New Macross TV Series in 20xx (sometime this decade)
seti88 replied to Tochiro's topic in Movies and TV Series
I do hope that kawamori-san would have tot abt it at the very least. I don't envy his position, its not easy coming up with valk designs that keep improving on familar valk configurations (ie twin tailrudders/thrusters/legs, battroid head in the middle of fighter fuselage) In this sense i felt he was looking to branch out with the 262, trying to incorporate older aircraft configurations and perhaps develop on that aircraft design as well. I wouldn't mind him revisitng and developing valks based on older aircraft generations, if the 6th generation doesn't quite give him the design room to improve. Am not an avid aircraft reader, but from what i see 6th gen aircraft are really flat, with stealthy tech and for some reason like to omit tail rudders. But kawamori is in that position in the macross universe to plan this, and am sure bandai wouldn't mind to have him keep developing valks to sustain the in demand valk merchandising line. Yeah am waiting for him to reach a level where he can drive valk design and create his own valk. Am not sure if he has though, as i normally see him as illustrator and customiser of existing valk models. -
The 262's transformation is different, due to the 262's single fuselage configuration. You can mostly tell the body parts in the 31 fighter (due to the familiar VF-1, 0, 19, 25, 29, 30 configurations), but come to the 262, its not obvious at a glance where the legs, arms and even head is. In that sense, the 31 is a linear evolution of the venerable twin thrust valk, whilst the 262 is a totally different bird. Totally understandable why the 31 is more user friendly, if one is already familiar transforming macross valks.

Whilst the 31 is everyone's fav, the 262 is a significant evolution of valk lineage. The only valk with a single tail rudder(in whole of macross history?), single thruster fuselage, rudder that becomes a shield and under carriage BFG. A must get if you are a valk collector. If you are in JP you might want to hunt down a yf-30 as well. There will be a lot of 31's recolours and releases are still ongoing but there is the one and only yf-30 Kronos, thr lineage link to the 31.

Nice use of all 3 valks in one dio...

Hope you don't disregard your post, you wrote it for a reason. If you aren't excited by the next releases, that's perfectly fine. No one macross fan or valk is the same! Else we will just end up with the same valk in different colors. Oh wait.

New Macross TV Series in 20xx (sometime this decade)
seti88 replied to Tochiro's topic in Movies and TV Series
The only thing getting me through this waiting, is the hope of kawamori-san in his studio designing and crafting the next generation of valks, like a master craftsman. Please kawamori-San, don't ever get bored of designing new valks! Hontoni Arigato Gozaimasu! -

Auberon...dreaming hence this thread? Joking, heheh.... Don't not forget the ticking bomb in the form of the teased DX line at last winters tamashii nations. The 19, 21 and even a vf-1 was shown flying at the end of the DX teaser. And the new macross series coming up, I dread to think what would be the new DX releases I need to wrap my budget around the next years.... and don't forget abt calibre wings f-14 tomcats in err...valk colours! certainly not a dull time for me anyway...

happy b'day to the queen!

I did? I forget.... Macross has too many details at times....

Phew, for a second there i tot bandai had announced a mirage 262 PO.....will look forward to getting one. A new max and miria theme, with the red 262 and kieth's blue. Delta should have made keith and mirage a couple instead, and then we will have a romeo and juliet anime. That would be nice to see in a macross universe.
-
yup, was concerned it would be too drab, but looks like a nice military-ish feel. hopefully it would look the same in our hands.

I loved the MG sinanju build. Every step was an admiration of the articulation and design of such a beautiful MS.

Am ready....Release the Kairos! . . . . And then the Kairos armor! *crosses fingers and toes*
-
Frankly speaking I enjoyed the fight trailer! Giant mecha always rulez

NY's pricing is especially good when it comes to DX releases. Pre-order madness, in this case, is now at N-Y. And probably will continue to be for remaining delta DX releases. That being said, i still wont wait for N-Y if i can get it somewhere else first tho....its a gamble and i wont have peace of mind throughout the wait....
-
Yes you did. Congratz! Now remember the product release date to pay ami when it gets released in future.

50 might just cover macrossworld folks...we dont have visibility of others esp CHINA collectors... but then again it might just be us....
