Which image refers to a 1/60? The first image posted has no reference to a 1/60. The second image posted is clearly for a model due to the price. The images are both exactly the same and clearly posted on other sites as a model kit. Not trying to argue, or piss you off. I'm just asking. Trying to understand myself. haha I'm getting the articles translated. So we'll know soon enough.

I don't have a theory. I'm saying your theory that a hook in a magazine does not equal a new TF. Again, where does it say it's a 1/60? June release: VF-1J 30th 1/72 2,240 yen. http://www.hlj.com/product/HSG65823/Sci

Where does it say it's a 1/60??? It's the exact same image as here: http://www.amiami.com/top/detail/detail?gcode=TOY-RBT-3302&page=top%2Fsearch%2Flist%3Fs_keywords%3Dvf-1%24pagemax%3D30%24getcnt%3D0%24pagecnt%3D1 It's clearly any VF-1 in the last 10 years. haha. At any rate, Arcadia owns those line art designs now.. and if they release a new product they would use that design for their model kits. I think you guys are just getting your hopes up for no good reason. The price point alone should tell you this isn't a going to be a new TF. I'll be happy to be wrong.. but I don't think I am.

I still don't see any proof that this is a transformable toy. Am I missing something you guys arent, or are you just going off the silhouette of a magazine design? It could just be some marketing guy grabbed a stock image with a hook from an old file and threw the design on it for a hobby kit. I feel like if it was a transforming toy.. marketing would want to display that as a selling point. You would see what you always see for transforming valks... namely; fighter, to gerwalk, to battroid. You don't see that at all. It's just a static fighter with a ugly paint job that you would see on a model kit. I'm not trying to piss on parades but I just don't see any evidence here. I just went through a major acquisition at work six months ago, and though they kept some of the staff, they laid off a lot of people. If they kept the design studio intact I don't see how this is a continuation of the last release.. namely the VF-4. It seems like they would release something else. Also, the article clearly shows a 2,900 yen price tag. That's consistent with the models Bandai puts out. A transforming toy would be a lot more.

Don't Tar and feather me.. but the Bandai versions look a lot better than the Yamato versions IMO.
-
I need some stands! haha
-
That's one ugly valk! haha
-
I'm sure it has something to do with Transformation toys being such a low money maker.
-
I think the 1/48's are more fun, and the transformation is easier. But I think the 1/60 is a better piece. That said, I think the VF-0's are the best of both worlds as it's almost a 1/48 but considered a 1/60. Anyway, The size of the toy isn't as big of an issue to me as the size of the frakking boxes. That's one thing Bandai has down over Yamato. They pack a toy tight.

To all those bitching about a 20-30 markup by NY. I just got an email that Latendo is selling stock for $298!!!!! That's your marke-up! I can't actually find the listing on their site though. haha
-
It never left... haha
-
Guys.. it's not a transforming toy and never will be. It's a model kit at best in 1/100 scale.
-
Hmm so how do you know they are still selling? Has anybody confirmed a package?
-
I saw they posted this at the end of the month: http://www.yamatotoysusa.com/page.cfm/1047 Does that mean they are still running the office and selling off their stuff?
-
What coupon code?
-
Mine shipped. They had some kind of holiday last week, or something.
-
Yes. many times, yes. haha.
-
That is sooooooooo ugly. haha. Yeah those things are just display pieces. Doesn't give me any hope they are sinking money into transformation toys. Bandai makes these ugly things too haha
-
I'm not saying the movie won't suck. But it will be great for collectors and probably lead to a new Anime.
-
Also, I want to make a prediction here: After the success of Transformers and if a movie like Pacific Rim does well... I feel like Macross will get done at some point. I know.. Harmony Gold is a batcave full of bastards, but I think if they sniff cash we'll see some kind of live action Macross in the next 2 years or so. If that happens the toys will come fast and furious. No doubt.
-
Cool, thanks.
-
Thanks Mon5t3r. Any weak joints on this guy?
-
Which version is this??? It's not the custom which is a v2.0. The Custom has a different box. It's not the flashlight version which is a later 2.0, which also has a different box. Confused. haha.
-
No tracking number yet. I guess they are going in the order they were place or something.
