I think it looks pretty darn good so far.

well, I can certainly understand you wanting to stay away from further yf-19 repaints... there's just a lot of pieces that rub up against, snap onto or peg into another piece to make everything hold together for fighter mode. A shame though, your work is really quite good. I admire the clean application of paint and technical skill and the attention to not only the details but the overall look and feel.

wow, the MH looks way better, imo.

pfeh. shows what you know, I'm not even wearing pants right now.

wow, looks great. Paint is nice and clean. Question though, why the gunmetal on the shoulders and then the grey on the shield? The grey on the shield kinda bugs me in that it doesn't seem to tie in very well in fighter mode ( I saw the chest accents in battroid though) but my personal tastes aside, it looks great I think. The pinstriping looks great and I love that shade of blue.

we know he can't tell us anything, we're just having fun at his expense. And damn you for making me spell it out. Damn you, damn you all to HELLS!!!

company uniform or not, and yes, we've all seen the video of all the gundamization at the bandai plant, they still showed up for a macross publicity shoot wearing gundam uniforms. It's not like they're not wearing regular clothes under those shirts. It's called reading between the lines, not "crazy fanboy nonsense". And so what if Kawamori designed a few gundams, he's not there promoting Gundam, is he? As for your child company nonsense.. give me a break. MSIA, HCM pro they all have the bandai logo stamped on the boxes. You're just arguing semantics.

excuses excuses... though, the sweden one is pretty good... uhm... we demand pictures from sweden!

Evangelion doesn't count because GAINAX is a license whore and they spread the love around Paris Hilton at a New Years Eve party, not because Bandai decided to be magnanimous and let other people eat from the table.

you're not allowed to post in this thread until you've finished your shelves and put up your collection. When did you graduate? Like, 4 months ago? Hurry up!

Like I've said before and numerous times, I hope I'm wrong. I hope bandai makes incredible MF toys that blow yamato out of the water. I hope the changes they made to the show allow them to market this internationally and I hope Macross rides a huge wave of success and popularity. I just don't have faith in bandai that they will. I don't see them using their muscle to give MF a decent timeslot and sorry, I don't think showing up to a Macross Frontier meeting in Gundam clothes to be anything other than a slap in the face.... especially a meeting they allowed people to publish phots from. Sorry, but the Japanese people I know are just too considerate and mannered to make a gaff like that on accident. Come on, it's like if Microsoft was doing a publicity shot for the 360 and Bungie showed up all wearing PS3 shirts. How many of you would be saying that's just an innocent oversight? And I'm still refuting all this talk of competition resulting from Bandai getting involved. Again, with mospeada we have two companies producing the legioss/tread and 4 companies producing the bikes. How many companies produce gundam toys?

Again, show me high end gundam toys and models from a company not Bandai and I'll buy into all this competition talk being thrown around. Until then, what I see from yamato is them trying to capitalize on the remaining time on their licenses until Bandai closes them out. I really hope I'm wrong and Bandai does make incredible Macross toys at the same level of detail and accuracy that yamato has given us, because if Macross Frontier is a hit, bandai is all we're going to get.

Don't kid yourselves. If macross Frontier takes off and catapults Macross back into mainstream popularity, what makes you think Bandai is going to let anyone else produce Macross toys or models? Exactly how many other companies out there produce competing Gundam models or figures?

okay guys, you're right. Bandai is the bestest company ever and they've never made a toy with sloppy paint application, or joints that shatter and all their toys are priced for under 40 dollars and I see now how bandai loves macross and single handedly saved it from obscurity! All hail bandai! Seriously though, how exactly is having every Macross Frontier toy and model made by bandai competition? All I see is typical big business here. They see a market other people have been feeding and then they sweep in and bury them to squelch competition. You want to see comptetion, look at the mospeada line where 4 different companies are producing different versions of the cyclone. That's called competition, this is called shutting out the little guys. And BTW, just because I'm not excited that Bandai is taking over Macross doesn't mean i think yamato can do no wrong. i don't subscribe to dualism here. Just because option A sucks, doesn't mean option B doesn't also suck. Simply calling people who don't like Bandai for their past and present offerings yamato fanboys as a way of sweeping our valid concerns over their treatment of the macross franchise doesn't change the facts. And the facts are, bandai has historically not given a crap about macross bandai has taken the license for every level of toy and model, thereby killing any compeition for macross frontier and, despite some wishful thinking here, bandai toys, even their vaunted SOC and chogokin lines have released toys with poor materials and poor build quality, including sloppy paint application.

meh. I have no faith or confidence in bandai at all. I'm happy to be proven wrong but bandai has never given a crap about macross and they haven't brought their A game to the table in.. uhm.. EVER, seeing as how their 1 fanboy favorite wasn't even their own design. And honestly, the idea of a die cast valk isn't making me feel that great either. I just keep looking at my EVA SOCs and all the paint chipping around the joints and I just get that sinking feeling.

I'm fairly certain he was making the ha-ha...

that's the dumbest thing I've heard about macross II, ever.

why tell us then? Just to tease us? Just to poke our insatiable fanboy toy lust with your sharpened stick? evil wretched man, you with your shiny toys.

AlexBeta: Maggie, I'm a robot. Maggie: What are you talking about, Alex? AlexBeta: Ever since I met you, I've been undercover. I'm a robot. Maggie: Oh, you bastard. You bastard!

I live my life a quarter parsec at a time.

oooh, oooh, and his copilot can be played by that paul walker guy, make it the 5th fast and the furious movie! Awwww yeah, it will be awesome!

the third die hard movie wasn't too bad, if only because of the chemistry between sam jackson and bruce willis and bruce willis and jeremy irons.

speaking of clearance, amazon has the HD-DVD matrix trilogy at 42 bucks as part of their 57% off lineup. as for sour milk over the end of HD-DVD.. meh, I bought the 360 add-on knowing the format was dead, but it had more titles that I wanted and it was a bargain considering i got the bourne trilogy for free with it. And half of my HD-DVD library was free thanks to all the BOGO offers at Amazon and Best Buy.

are those the same hands from the macross line? They look awfully familiar. too many toys coming out... can't keep up.

2 hours now... I'm calling shenanigans!
