Macross Δ (Delta) - announcement thread
jenius replied to renegadeleader1's topic in Movies and TV Series
Focker was in both MZero and SDF Macross. M&M were in both SDF Macross and M7. Mao was in MZero and MFrontier and the whole Nome connection is pretty clear. So.... it happens but it rarely feels shoe-horned which is nice. Isamu's random cameo is just... well... random, and it's only in a movie for a split second. -
Looks mistransformed in that first picture, guns should drop down behind the chest.
-
He might view it as a religious relic or something like that. He has Vader's melted helmet... he's clearly a little nutty.
-
Well the common thought is that the expanded universe twins are just being relabeled here so that would give us two relatives and that wouldn't bother me as they're Leia's kids and thus, if there's a genetic component to force sensitivity, that kinda makes sense right? The thing that's odd about that is the whole force genetics thing seems to be unique to the Skywalker clan. in Clone Wars TV show the force sensitive younglings all seem to just come from normal parents and it's completely random.

Have a lot of Arcadia VF-0A toys sold for less than MSRP at Jungle? I'm not gambling on Arcadia releases (well, I did gamble on the VF-19Kai). They do such limited production runs that I'm preordering all.
-
Are you sure you got the number right? I'm not rewatching the video right now but I thought he said "Kickstarter PLUS the cost of all the rewards we're giving out is XX%". So they could just be putting a huge value on all the rewards. So like, if you chip in $1000 maybe you get a drawing from him with his signature. Maybe he thinks that drawing is worth $1000 so he buys it from himself for that much.

I would have expected a Spartas/Hovertank on here. A toy of the hovercycle though? The cool thing about really wanting that is it seems like it's somewhat obtainable in a different path. I bet it'd be pretty easy for someone to create a 3D printed version. If this were just wish-lists I'd say a really good 1/35 Legioss and a 1/35 (though it'd be small) Spartas. I wonder if whoever bought the Beagle Ride Armor Fuke prototype has considered doing a kickstarter to raise the cash to actually make the toy. I'd be interested to see that page and I'd definitely pledge. If we're doing actual toys, there's a gold MP-1 Optimus Prime raffle toy out there that I'd love to have, as well as that red MP-10Bape toy. There's a couple Votoms toys I want but I wouldn't call them Holy Grail items, I'd call them OCD desires. In the Macross universe I have OCD desires as well.

After the Bandai HMR pricing was released I figured Toynami would cancel their comparatively terrible 1/100 offering but I see on eBay today that that product actually has materialized and, insanely, just about right when Toynami said it would.
-
We see supports on every prototype like ever, hardly something to be concerned with. As for the Regults, we don't know the plan yet. I agree that more accessories seemed a smart move though. Maybe there will be an add on set instead of only slightly different releases. We saw the slightly different technique didn't work for Toynami. I'm also hoping for a scout regult conversion kit.
-
For those of you who can't find time to listen to the podcast, the take away from a product standpoint at the end is that many items at this exhibit were 3D printed bricks (DX VF-19K, HMR VF-0), some were 3D printed very early prototypes (1/35 VF-1), and a few things were a little further along (like the VF-2SS). The moral of the story is that if Delta doesn't do great, or that the Hi-Metal sales start faltering, you shouldn't expect all these announcements to come to fruition... many of these things right now are just kind of teasers.
-
Amazon usa may be an easy solution for getting stands and looking at options.
-
The only thing that really jumps out to me is how thin the carriers are. Otherwise I'm all on board.
-
It's exactly the same, the YF19 is convertible from 1 to 2 seats, that's how Yang takes a ride with is Isamu in Mac+.
-
Nah, they just will make you buy fast packs separately so you won't know that they've corrected this until it's too late! Edit - In all seriousness though, I find it very unlikely they will fix this as it didn't seem like an easy fix.
-
Doesn't transform, but it disassembles into super glorious detail well beyond anything this seems to be doing.
-
I really hope they do the 1/35 and that it is transformable and that it becomes like a "Soul of Chogokin" or some other upscale release brand. I hope Bandai then creates a 1/60 DX VF-1 to play with the other DX toys. I then hope Bandai makes all the rare and hero stuff in 1/100. I don't ever expect a DX Glaug, Regult, Q-Rau, or destroid but I'll be thrilled if we get them in 1/100.
-
I completely agree on the canopy though I'd like it to have 2 seats so we could still throw Yang in there. I honestly love the idea of Tamashii exclusive fast packs, fold drive, and missiles. I think lots of folks don't want those so it'd be nice to not have to buy them and instead bring down the price of the base toy.
-
I feel like I would have to find a good way to make an enclosure.
-
I think the expectation would be the YF19 will be the same toy with a different canopy and cockpit, like the Nightmare 171 cannon fodder tweaking of the 171EX toy. Other than that I'd just expect different paint and accessories.
-
I'd buy one... but only one and I wouldn't pay nearly as much.
-
I think you guys are crazy.It's made by Bandai, not Arcadia. You think they're going to go more than twice what they're charging for the VF-19Advance? I wouldn't be surprised if they sell it for the exact same price as Arcadia is using for whatever release they have out at the time. HMM... I can pay 32000 Yen for an Arcadia cannon fodder VF-0A or a 1/35 DX VF-1...
-
They might be thinking that lots of folks would view an extra 10000 yen as too much for the sap so they would prefer the standalone version. They might also be thinking no one would buy Nexx or two vf2SS unless they differentiated them somehow.
-
I thought SK said he always planned on having the vf4 transform, he just hadn't worked out the kinks when DYRL was made.
-
Maybe Nexx is with SAP and Sylvie without.
