I think almost all of this could be done in 1/48 or 1/35 these days. 1/24 or 1/18 is too big.

The timing on selling the MPC version isn't really ideal. I just bought one from RT.com last month for $199. If I were you I'd hold onto it until next fall and just put it on ebay and take the ride. These toys were selling for $400 for a bit there and there shouldn't be any more surprise restocks anywhere.

It's not that it wasn't available, it's more likely that it's not available yet. This is why so many online sites jump the gun and put up preorders before all the info is out... to grab the earliest converts. -
Only half the intake is for air, the other half is for a maneuvering thruster. I aasume the chest intake feeds both the arm and leg engines.

It's amazing what just fixing the paint job does for the old Gakkens.

I think that"s the version with improved parts but the improved parts were in a second box sold with a reissue of the eta. Those are all the promo pics from when the improved parts version originally came out. EDIT - that is to say: those promo pics show the improved parts installed and the gun, but you get those in a box and you have to install them onto the toy. The Eta toy itself is an exact reissue of the first release, upgrade parts are in their own separate box.

1) No 2) N/A

Seriously... toys need to have heads that rotate... I can't understand how CM's thought having the head locked straight was okay...
-
Too bad the CM's beta can launch more missiles...
-
Yeah... no thanks on nontransformable anything, let alone 1/18 scale.

That is the VF-1 toy's replacement hand, not an Alpha replacement hand. You can tell because that hand has the slider mechanism. Broken hands on the alpha are pretty much a lost cause. The best you can do is glue them into a fist OR replace them with the fixed-pose hands from a Toynami Alpha Super Poseable (but that would take some modding).

Drone version above. As to where to score a set with the improved parts, I used eBay.
-
That's a pic of the upgrade kit.

Thank you, that worked out nicely. -

One of our members was recently selling all three CM's kits with upgrade kits he had gotten for less than $200 a pop... I forget the exact price. I imagine he got three sets of upgrade kits by buying three blue legioss sets and selling two extras without their upgrade parts (since the upgrade parts come in a separate box).

Ah no need to get childish, people like your reviews too.

If Yamato Visual was releasing a Macross7 BluRay you'd be onto something. It may also be that Yamato knows the Mac7 release's date won't be until later in the year and they're trying to capitalize but it certainly wasn't worded that way. I suspect Yamato is done with MacPlus for now... my lips are sealed beyond that. I will say I was surprised to hear about the VF-4 though before Yamato's other project(s). I wonder if this is going to be a case where they show up to a show with a resin prototype before anyone dreamed a project was in the works... My VF-25S isn't here yet... but I hope it comes soon. I would like it to be in one of my next posts on anymoon....
-
Yamato has to stay away from Macross7 for a big chunk of the year... that means SDF and MacZero are still open game. I suspect they will be far from idle.

I do see the VF-1S Hikaru and Focker 1/60 V2 on that list. They're the anniversary versions but I find it unlikely we won't see more of those should demand exist. Of course, if we see more of them they will be the clear canopy new crotch variety. I wonder if the same would be true of other V2 toys on that list. The tinted canopy original crotch types are done being serviced but I doubt that means you should lose hope of a clear canopy new crotch version being released eventually.
-
Anymoon has reviews of all existing legioss and alpha toys... including videos and line art comparisons.
-
Does anyone have an opinion on what would be the best Votoms book to buy for line art purposes? I have the DVD set that has some good line art on it but I was thinking there are probably some good books out there that can be acquired inexpensively that would be better references.
-
I gotta say, the NSX looks a tiny bit sharper than that Lotus. The Esprit has something funky going on with its back window but the bright white might be making it difficult to sense depth.

Wasn't bandai the funders behind macross frontier?
