Macross73

looks cool in green but having the black t-shirt would be sweet too.

I hope that may a green one too.

HLJ lists the Max Q-rau as Feb 2007 restock http://www.hlj.com/product/YMT00035 p.s. yeah i know this is an old thread I just didnt want to start a new one

I understand "dumpster-diving" but..... .

glad to see that changes are in the works. Crossing fingers for the SV-51.

interestingly gross. Yamato will do as they see fit. Whether or not Japenese customers are or are not having issues with their Yammies will effect whether or not international purchasers (Us) will see improvements. I'm glad that they're making them. I'll continue to buy Yammies as long as i think they're cool. Making a few changes to the Yf-19 wasnt a big deal. the VF-OS was scary but thanks the NMB4M its not the end of the world either. Yeah they're expensive and yeah it sucks when you get something thats broken. I'm still glad that I have the opportunity to buy these. I made my choice to continue to get these, others may not and thats cool. Everybody enjoys Macross and thats what I support, not whether a toy company can or cant give me a toy.

Someday I hope they'll (all the Companies) get together and finally resolve this. Then we'll get all Macross items without so many hassles. I hope its soon.

Yep thats all . I started collecting late in the game. i think it was about 250-300 i cant recall. I'll display some day when i have more space to put up the 1/55 i have Edit: The VE-1 is not mint the package has a tear and when i got it the not all of the armor was there. But i was just glad to get it. Thanks to NMB4 I now have armor to go with it.

I like displaying my stuff, I just wish i had more space for it all. Meanwhile everything is safe behind the glass. I'm gonna have to get rid of the stuff thats not Macross and SOC related.

Thats O.k. b/c I'm saving that set for a VF-1S

The outlook on these surviving intact more than a few weeks is slim

yeah, i'm running out of space Closets are full.

This sucks. If they paint it I think that could be ok only becasue its easier to deal with than having some piece of plastic glued on.

I hadn't thought about outfitting a YF-19 with the Minmay Guard Decals. Hmmm.... What would that look like?

Thats kinda where my thinking is right now. buy this now or buy more Yammies that are coming down the line. if this were all die-cast or at least had 80% metal in it then Ok but knowing that its mostly plastic I cant justify it. I waiting for the SV-51 , Shin VF-OA and other stuff and I still need a few things that have already come out.

So i changed my living room and bedroom What i really need though is new TV and Stand but I keep getting Macross and SOC stuff instead LOL

While I agree with you that it absolutely SUCKS to get a Brand New toy that screwed up. I dont see how you can place any blame on Graham. I'm glad that he provides what ever Info that he can. Yamato on the other hand , really needs to improve their track record. Of all the Yamato stuff that I bought I've been lucky. But I shouldnt have to be "lucky" ALL their stuff should be perfect from the start.

I havent seen it so..... I guess I won't.

for those interested heres what the site says: Wave High Advanced Model 1/5000 SDF-1 Macross Availability: Available now and was added to our catalog on: Sunday 28 January, 2007. This is the Macross SDF-1 ship in 1/5000 scale as a Chogokin toy! ABS & Die-cast metal content. Transformable from Cruiser mode to Fortress mode! Item #: 2606 Manufacturer: Wave Item price: US$139.95

King Joe.... Hmmm ... is not on my wish list.

I wish Bandai would announce something new . I'm looking forward to the Ideon but what else is coming out? whats the GX-37 is gonna be?

Well that did it for me too. I just canceled my pre-order. I was hoping for at least a significant die-cast content also but since its not there...Not gonna do it. ts a shame , I was really looking forward to this.

Ok thats not at all what i wanted to read. I wanted to see that it was heavy from the die-cast content and you were happy with the size of it. looking at the picture comparison with the pen I'm re-thinking this now and may spend my money on something else. I'll wait for th review before I make a final decision.

I think you should get out of work early. take a lot of pictures of this SDF-1, box and all. Please provide a much detailed review.

Great Pictures Thank you
