One gimmick I would love for the 1/48 destroids would be working searchlights. Yamato could use those tiny watch batteries, maybe even AAA size? Of course all hatches would have to open and removable missles are a must. Like >EXO< said, the Matchbox destroids look great next to 1/60 valks. So hunt'em down 1/60 fans.
The only 1/60s I have are the Q-raus. So 1/48 destroids would be more in line with my Macross collection. I'd like to be able to put the valk pilot figs into the destroids. I agree with jonwayne, why not make'em in both scales?
When fans of a series grow up and have disposable income is when companies usually go for the "deluxe treatment". You won't see a MP Armada Prime anytime soon. I think that the deluxe ones are mostly display pieces while the value ones are okay for throwing across the room.
So are you gonna take orders from MWers or will this involve Binary Being? How about letting us see some images of your choices for the T-shirt. May I suggest a small Super Deformed GBP on the front and a regular large version on the back. What about the color of the shirt? I'm thinking one color would make it easier.
I vote for the shirt to at least have "MW Con5" on it somewhere. Last year's had that silhouette of the Minmay doll on the back which should've said "MW Con4" below her. How about some characters this year?
We missed you at last year's con Noel. It was good to meet and share a Sapporo with you at con3. Only if I would've gotten there sooner for that 1/55 GBP armor. PMing you with another request.
I know it's barely January, but I think we should start thinking where it's going to be held. Since Solscud007 and Otaku Smeghead have left the building, no more Irvine gatherings. So any ideas? I'll bring the Sapporo, of course.
Congrats on your acquisition of the now hard to find Hikaru 1S. A 1/48 made entirely of die-cast? Imagine all the paint chips, it would look awful after a few transformations, plus the floppy arms.
Also, Bandai used Miria on their release of the 1/55 re-issue. Wouldn't Bandai and Yamato have to clear this with BW? IMHO, I happen to prefer the look of the spelling Miria as opposed to Milia or Millia.
