Thanks, I was surprised this morning but a little disapointed at the same time, Honestly I really was hoping I would be wrong and they would release further details. Regarding the timeline, you are absolutely right, however I would bump it back not a full year but perhaps two or three months. Auditions for Delta were announced in december 1 2014, quite late in the year. Even so, who knows if they are going to follow the same schedule. Knowing the song for the aditions, and going maybe a little overboard with speculations, I think they are going to play it safe. The song is completely in line with the Frontier/Delta syle. Furthermore, it seems to me, and I would want to know what you guys and gals think, that macross is not high in Kawamori's priorities rigt now, given his involment with the Osaka Expo 2025 and the Japan Anime Tourism Association. Also, I would really like to know why Satelight and Kawamori have parted ways, perhaps because of the end of the pachinko deal in 2020? Perhaps beacuse Satelight is night now focused on the Ubel Batt adaptation? Regarding Sunrise. The latest gundam Tv series is going to be handeled by Khara and the only think they should be working on is Hathaway II, maybe this leaves an opening to work on macross as Sunraise has proved thet can handle at least three productions at the same time. However, they might be working on something I do not know. RN we dont have much info, the only think we can do is wait and compile as much info as possible and specualte based on that, at least it's fun.

Taking into account how marketing was previously handeled for Frontier and Delta and the presence of Meguni Nakajima and Minori Suzuki in the stream, I would bet they are going to announce another contest in order to choose the next main singer. If I had to speculate further perhaps we are going to get a tentative title, but nothing more. If the contest theory is correct, we could expect them choosing a winner arround summer, a full presentation in, september/october and a full release in the first months of 2026. A rollout similar to Delta. But again It is just pure speculation. Anyway It is good to hear that things are moving forward.

This is soo cool, I will probably get myself aother 31J and do the mod asap. Thanks.

Great work, hope you enyoy it.

Soo cool, Saw It on FB this morning, hope you like It.

In the latest bandai toy there is a gimmick in order to use the arm canon in fighter. The whole system folds and stows between the legs. You can even use the gunpod. In this video it explains it pretty well. 11.19

I also made an improved gu-15 gunpod for this tpy. Now I'm thinking about designing the fast packs, but that will have to wait. Regarding the rest of the missiles that come with arcadia/bandai, as the yamato vesion does not have hardpoints, I probably won't bother.

Hi this is my second 3d printable design and still a work in progress. This is the famous Arm Canon that appeared for 5 seconds in Macross plus and wanted to design my own rendition of this cool gadget. I printed mine on a fdm but you can get better results on a resin one, especially on the big gun. Requires glue for assembly. If requested I can also make a version for Arcadia and Bandai toys Be free to download it and do your own mods to it. Hope you all enjoy it. https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:5224634

Currently working on my own version of the Yf 19 arm canon for 3d printing.

Since I got my Yamato Yf-19 this December I noticed the gunpod is quite small, something noted back in 2006. This is something Arcadia and Bandai solved. So, I decided to teach myself 3d design and make this my first project. So, bear in mind that I'm still a beginner and the design is far from perfect. The dimensions are based on the Arcadia Gunpod, special thanks to anymoon.com for providing the photos as well as to Macross mecha manual for providing hd versions of the original design. I decided to add extra detail that the original yamato gunpod has, like the vent holes. Also, changed the shape of the grip to fit the yamato hands. Currently it works great on battroid and gearwalk, however it suffers from the "starfing gunpod" syndrome as it is longer than the original. This is the first version. If any of you guys wish, I can also design it to fit arcadia or bandai hands if you are willing to provide photos and dimensions of the grip. This prototype was made on a low-end resin printer so you will notice some deformation and little details that are off. The painting is also quite lackluster, I decided however to go for a more anime accurate greyish green. Currently it's a little heavy for the articulations of my toy but it works.

I GOT IT!!!!! Sadly my friend decided not to sell it. However I found one used and slightly damaged on Mandarake. 110 eur shipping included so still a decent price. Thanks everyone for the advice.

Mandarake just got back to me and you guys were right. With packaging the weight increased to 2570grams. Thats a lot of carboard right there. So be advised that 8100jpy is what you will have to pay for shipping something similar. Now it's time for me to decide if 114eur for a yammie yf-19 is a good price or not, but that is another storie. Thanks everyone.

Thanks for the info, makes more sense then. The oficial EMS page does not allow you to enter the dimensions, only the weight, so I calculated the 4.300/4850JPY. However when using the Buyee shipping calculator, wich includes dimensions, the price was still 4300. I just sent them a mail this monrning asking if there is any problem. We'll, see.

One question, Is EMS getting more expensive? Recently placed an order in mandarake for a Yammie YF 19 and they want to charge me 8100 for a 1220 gram package. It has nothing to do with the prices stated in their charts nor with the estimations I also made with buyee. Has anyone experienced something similar?
