Hahahaha thanks anyway deadghost... Maybe you can use... the Karaoke version (sung by fans, no less)!

Hehe right... I was just curious to listen to the ringtone file. Now I guess I'll have to wait for the release of the CD

Here are the products that Cospa will have for display (and sale I guess?):

Release date: May 28th, @ 3,150 yen

According to the update in the official website (and my limited japanese), the booth in Wonderfest this weekend will have: - a diorama with the Valkyries including the VF-0, VF-1, YF-19 and VF-25 (!) - a promotion video for Macross Frontier (there's a mention of a mecha-something) The companies that will be there will have: - a Macross F t-shirt - Cospa will have the Destroid Monster and Battroid t-shirts - Yamato will have the 25th aniv VF-1S and YF-19 (.....) On the events side: - a "talk stage" - a "karaoke stage" I hope someone can do a better translation

I agree, it was one of the main things lacking in Macross 7: original BGM music (not just a rehash of Macross II music)

VERY nice !!!! Congrats!

Something like that... the download link is sent to the e-mail address

I got one of the CM's last week (Stick's), and I like it. But it definitely doesn't feel like a toy. It reminds me A LOT of the transformable 1/12 IMAI model kit but in a toy-ized version (I'd even say they based this toy on that model kit) It IS very fragile, and it appears that it's made just for display purposes (although the plastic coloring contradicts this statement) - note: the """stand""" that it comes with is a piece of sh.... but it looks very nice in the Bandai stands that someone was talking about before (and they're cheap). Let's see how Megahouse's and Beagle's ride armors turn out

After searching and searching, I found the download link to the cell phone tune of "Don't be late", the Macross F song. It's here: https://recochoku.jp/search/Srch?ftgt=mkw&a...p;x=103&y=2 BUT... it's not a direct download link since an e-mail from docomo.ne.jp or ezweb.ne.jp or softbank.ne.jp or d.vodafone.ne.jp is needed hopefully somebody will figure out a way to download this

Couldn't agree more, this is what the 25th anniv YF-19 should've been like!

Hopefully with WonderFestival taking place next week (24th) we'll finally know what Bandai's plans are for Mac F

Hopefully the new issue of HLJ will have mecha pics... maybe even prototypes of the models / toys, since it's the issue for April.

Not because of Harmony Gold... because the February issue of US Newtype will be the last http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2008-...ase-publication

oh, ok

Is it me or the sound in this new file is way too loud and out of synch?

According to Yamato's latest mail magazine (and Babelfish), the ESTIMATED release date for the 1/60 VF-1 is summer 2008, and as soon as production is ready (or something like that) Yamato will announce the price. Q：TVのCMで見たのですが、1/60 VF-1S フォッカー機の発売時期や価格は 　 いつ頃決まりますか A：発売時期については2008年夏頃を予定させて頂いておりますが、 　 まだ開発途中ですので、価格の発表時期は未定となっております。 　 決まり次第HPにてもご案内させて頂きますので、今暫くお待ち下さい。

Is there a "Extended Edition" of the TV Special where these were shown? Since the program aired in Dec, I've been wanting to watch it precisely to know if some prototypes were shown... Anyway... I hope the size of the toys (if they're not models) stays in the final product... in the TV Special for Macross 7 a prototype VF-19 was presented and it was bigger (and better) than what was actually produced

you're welcome! here's the version for cell phones, useful when going to stores to pre-order it yamato_vf1s_mob.zip

Yamato's website has been updated with the info of the 1/60 VF-1S, including an ad Here's the ad in DivX: yamato_vf1s.zip edit: sp

Here's the scan from the latest Newtype (both pages edited together)

And speaking of 1/60... does anyone have a size- comparison pic of ALL the 1/60 items released by Yamato?

I think I found the answer, it's at the bottom on one of the scans that Graham uploaded. I cannot translate everything, but there's a mention of a Macross Booth in the 2008 WonderFestival (!). Apparently that's where the 25th Anniversary Macross Museum will be and there's a mention of a Macross F promo. That will be interesting... hopefully the "promo" will include the toys

What's the "Macross Museum"?

WOOOW VF-171 in battroid!!! GREAT!! Thanks for the scans!
