    I think that by the animation during the movie, the Sv-303 is at least as big as the VF-31, but more than likely the same size as the VF-27. While it would have less mass due to the lack of cockpit, life support, ICS for pilot, I would think that they would use that available space for extra fuel, since the SV-303 has 4 very powerful engines.

    I cannot wait for more translations of the text, and what the SV-300 is! Seto, does the Master File give specs or more information about either the specs of the VF-31X (supposed to be a 6th Gen attempt building on the VF-31)? Also, what kind of T/W ratio does the SV-303 boast? I can’t imagine that it is all that heavy, despite the 4 engines. No cockpit of ISC needed for an unmanned Variable Fighter. Twich

    So if I am ready the variable fighter master file for the VF-31AX Kairos Plus right. The SV-303 has engines that exceed the YF-29 in raw capability. 2345kN x2 plus 1970kN x2. Was this an attempt to make an unmanned variable fighter that could, in theory, compete with the YF-29? I cannot wait for more translations of the text, and what the SV-300 is! Twich

    Macross Books

    I just got this book tonight, right before I had to go to work, so I was unable to do more than look at the cover. I am looking forward to all the tidbits of knowledge that can be gleaned from this book from those who are able to read/translate the Japanese text. I am particularly interested in what specs they give for the SV-303 and to learn more about this attempt at the 6th gen VF, the VF-31X that Seto hinted at a few days ago! Twich

    I think the publishers would be silly in the head if they did not make it playable on the PS5, even though it is a PS4 and Switch game. Twich

    Did Tenjin draw that? Twich

    Did anyone else fill out the survey questionnaire that you could scan and go to on the last page of the instruction book? It is funny that the only Macross item listed that I could find was the VF-25F World Wide Release version, and not the YF-29 Durandal full set pack Max use that the link comes from. Twich

    I hope that this is just the beginning of new Macross games coming out for consoles. Twich

    I thought that they teased this last year, but wasn’t it alluded to that it would be a combo set with either fast packs or armor set combined with the Valkyrie with hopefully improvements to the VF-31AX mold? Twich

    Mass produced, car sized protein pucks. Twich

    I too noticed that on the Variable Fighter Master File, and it seems that would be the ideal sortie load out, since the VF-25 doesn’t carry spare magazines, as far as I know. Twich

    That is where I knew the early title/name for the variable fighter, when I owned that book, I always thought it strange that it was named like that, but then it was explained on these boards that it was named that in a tongue and cheek way, from where the fighters emerged from on the SDF-1( or whatever the precursor name was).

    You talking about captain America who was doing the Legioss? I think he is still active on the boards here. Twich

    Since Mr. Kawamori included both the VF-1S and Aquarion, I wonder if this means that he is still planning on releasing more aquarion anime. Twich

    I don’t know about you, but got notification from Amazon Japan that it will ship mid to late January 2023. Twich

    EDIT:*The first pic shows the issue*I just got this for Christmas today, I took it out of the box and did all the fiddling with it to get the seams tight, but on the left side of the aircraft, where the wings meet up with the rest of the body, it almost seems as if the edge of the wingroot is not cut correctly, and it is dragging on the little metal piece that the arms is attached to, right near the hip-gun cover. I almost wonder if I have to shave the wing edge down at the wing root to get it to sit flush. I transformed the toys and repositioned everything, but the wings do not want to pivot, and despite transforming it twice, it still does not sit flush. Kind of frustrating on a brand new Macross Jet. Any suggestions? Is this happening with other peoples Max jet? Twich PS. I am working NOC shift right now, I will try to post a pic of it tomorrow morning when I get home from work.

    So in my stocking, I received a slip of paper proclaiming that my wife pre-ordered the Bandai DX Chogokin VF-25F Super Parts Revival edition Alto Saotome custom! I am super excited! BBTS says June, hope it comes in earlier than that! WoooHoo! Twich

    So for Christmas, I got 1) Bandai DX Chogokin YF-29 Durandal Full Set Pack Maximillian Jenius Custom 2) Pre-Order for Bandai DX Chogokin VF-25F Super Revival Set 3) Hidetaka Tenjin's Artistry of Macross hardcover book I scored pretty well on the Macross Front! Merry Chistmas to all that celebrate! Twich

    I said this in another thread, but it looks like the landing gear might get rubber tires like the VF-0S. Twich

    Does it look like to anyone else that the landing gear might be upgraded with rubber tires like the VF-0S release got? Twich

    So I was just watching Macross Delta movie 2 and noticed that on the VF-31AX, specifically Bogue’s, both of the parts to the weapon container are beam weapons! I only thought the gunpod was the weapon, but the thermometer looking thing also is a beam cannon of some sort! So it kinda fits in line with the beam cannons if the YF-29 and the SV-303! Very interesting. Making this Valkyrie even more powerful. Twich

    I would enjoy having the enemy mecha along with destroids, but the results that I have found are redonkulous in price. If I am paying that much, might as well get a 1/60 Arcadia or Bandai DX Chogokin. I hope that these might get a rerelease or something so that it will get easier to acquire. Twich

    The YF-25 Prophecy was the only renewal VF-25 that I owned from Bandai. It was such a unique scheme, and the only one that was officially from the New UN Spacy. Way back when you could get it from BBTS, for Christmas one year I got the original VF-25F Alto Custom. It is definitely showing its age, but I passed it onto my 14 year old son, and he enjoys the heck out of it as one of his only, true Macross jets that he owns. I now have the special VF-25F World Wide Macross release and it has rekindled my love for the designs of Macross Frontier. Twich

    for the size of the toy, it just looks damn good. I have noticed, and maybe I am getting delusional in my old age, that the feel and look of this VF-0S Bandai Hi-Metal R is just superior to previous Hi-Metal R toys that I have( I have a VF-2SS Nexx, VT-1 Super Ostrich and VF-4G Roy homage ver.) On getting the VF-0S, I just felt like this was a step above those other toys. Dont get me wrong, I love the other Hi-Metal R Macross jets that I have, but the VF-0S feel superior to me. Twich
