No, I'm not defending Yamato, I'm criticizing the mentality of people who cry and moan over a freaking toy. If you don't like it, don't get it. But just like the 1/2000 SDF "debacle" that sold out well before the cut off date, I'm sure the regults will do just fine.
edit: And I have to laugh, ten years ago Macross fans were dropping a 1000 USD in order to get their hands on a 20 year old toy and bragging about it. Now we're seeing toys that we only dreamed of and all we can do is complain.
