Arthurius

what you talking about, macross 7 is my favorate series of them all!!!!

i cant believe this thread is still going on!!!! I mean, i only have 1/48th vf-1, so i cant go back, but alot of people switched to 1/60th already, would they really re-switch back to 1/48th which will be more expensive and thus harder to complete the set? Pll wanted same scale and have more valks in limited space, so not sure enough pll will do thi. Would it really be worthwhile for Yamato to do these? If they made the 1/48th of the missing valks, sure that would be great for me, and the ones who still kept their valks, but I know Yamato will charge ++200$ just cause they need to redesign the whole thing, and cause of the risks involved.

I think SDF-1 was holy grail for macross fan, so for those who have, WHAT NOW???

unfortunately, after buying the kai, i may have to skip my favorate scheme, the vf-17P whale blood, simply because of color scheme being red, and kai being red too (although the P being the much nicer one).... vf-17 blazzer will be the next and last valk http://www.macross2.net/m3/macross7/vf-19p/vf-19p-stained-battroid.gif For those skipping the kai though, yea, the vf-17P what blood should be a good one (if they make it). already having 2x yf-19, say this was coming out after the kai, its hard going with a new one, i would still have preffered blazzer to go with my yf-21 (my current fav valk). So Kai in batroid, and blazzer in fighter mode. vf-17 army??? other than the low vis 2 1/48 vf-1a, yamato has done none of that, i doubt we'd see that. What about a low vis vf-19.... they didnt do it with the yf-19, eventhough interest was shown, i really doubt they'd do it with the vf-19, so that is eliminated too. vf19 EF or Active... indeed, i think this is the way for Yamato to go after the blazzer... Its new, and its beautifull in fighter... and i would personnaly consider the Active one very seriously (note i only buy 1-2 toy a year, so lotsa sacrifices being made each year)... but dont know what the batroid looks like... so assuming the head sculpt is nice like the yf-19 or vf-17 kai/blazzer, vf19 Active should be a real success. Thus knowing blazzer will be out, i choose the ACTIVE.

yamato of course, anything else would be uncivilized!!!

will probably go see it, i loved the wolverine sequel, hoping this is as good. The only movie i hated was the 3rd one, with the pheonex.

out of this list, obviously the vf-17 will win, thats something most pll are waiting for (not sure which of the variations i want the most, will decide once i see the final mold of the first run). The other ones on the list.... Monster??? Get the Bandai Monster, why you need the Yamato one? The zentradi ships??? The regult was limited and costed 400$, why this? Honestly, i like it, but i know they will make it too expensive for what it is. The Phalanx, wel, macross fans here seem to like it, so maybe some day, but seriously, wouldnt pll rather have instead: - vf-2ss (macross 2), alot of milk molding here, consider this one seriously Yamato, or Bandai, after the vf-17 that is, cause lotsa variations there too. Personnaly, i want the vf-2ss, but it makes sense for yamato to make the vf-17 after vf-19 - vf-4, fans here like it, i think its not bad, but AFTER vf-2ss.

holy comoly, this is fantastic, i want it!!!!

I think it looks best on the vf-1s, so either Roy or Hilaru. I dont like it too much on the vf-1a, i find they look better without it. The vf-1j looks good with or without, but i still want the leader (roy or hik) to have the best, so....

Eugimon, how the sdf-1 holding the enterprise exactly, i dont get it???

wow, all wonderfull vf-1/48 customs!!!!

i have to admit i do like the vf-19active scheme in fighter mode. What would the batroid mode look like?

hmm, maybe not a bad idea to have the extras as part of the booster set, makes it cheaper to buy the original valk to start. In any case, Graham, do you know if Yamato is considering providing a nice base, sort of like the one that came with the yf-21 ??

dude, that is the best work i have ever seen in my life, those little lights and yellow and white straps, and all the rest of the brilliant detailing make this the best toy i have ever seen. Just one thing, i dont know how to download these pics onto my computer to have them as my background or just look at them over and over. Is there a way?

The more i look at the pictures, the more i think i want the movie version... just that 400$ is alot of money...granted it is an ultimate toy, but still, 400$....but i want it....but its 400$....but....WANT.....400$.....NEED....400$..... Oh well, this toy seems so close, yet so far away in the near futur.

haha, nice pic Hayao.

Graham, Any chances that if sells go well, that Yamato would consider re-releasing this in: 1) a bit smaller scale, to further reduce on cost and bring it to the 150 - 200 $ point. I think a great deal of fans can afford it at that range. This is THE toy that ALL macross fans want, the one that they have been waiting for, it just needs a bit of tweeking still. If they are considering TV version, go to that scale right away, easier for pll to make that decision to have a second one if they buy the current 1/3000 scale. If this is not truly wanted, or feasable, then purhaps as anime52k8 has suggested, an unpainted / unbuilt (or just unbuilt), as the paint scheme seems laking anyways. I really feel like more detail paint (not weathered) is required on this. What exactly is stoping Yamato in going at that price range, or what can make this happen? 2) if redoing another release of this, either same or smaller case, have the arms be able to retract futher towards the legs in ship mode (i would even dare say lock onto it), making it look less like arms and more ship like. At the moment, that is the only thing that seems mechanically flawed. I know this may be original design, but why not give us the choice to retract it further if we want to anyways? However, if one is leaving this in robot mode, i guess it doesnt matter at all, cause it does look pretty awsome in that mode, so this is only a small point vrs point 1.

1) Anime Series/Film/OVA that aired this year = For anime = Macross Frontier False Songstress, For Cartoon = Toy Story 3 2) Science Fiction Film = Tron Legacy 3) TV Series = Stargate Universe (boy am i depressed it is getting canceled) 4) PC/Video Game = Starcraft 2 5) Consumer Electronic = Bought a Panasonic pocket size camera with big zoom, very happy with it, and with panasonic in genecal 6) Toy/Model/Action Figure/Plushie/Nendoroid or whatever... = Although it may not be 2010, i have bought a Yamato 1/60 yf-21 and yf-19 bird of pray, both of which are my favorates. Otherwise, probably the SDF-1 and Monster (std version) if i could have purchased those!!!

i will probably see it in the theatres

Just saw the movie in Imax 3D, wow, i really really really loved this movie, such nice graphics, and loved the actors as well. I want to see it again!!!

love these pics of the yf-21 and yf-19, absolutely beatifull

I will be missing Universe alot, it was the only show besides The Big Bang Theory which i watch every week, now i will be down to 1 show only.... and besides, other than a few of the episodes, i loved Universe more than the other stargates, really wanted to know what they the ending was for the planned 5 year story, for final season (3rd) in case they couldnt get it that far.... I hate show cancelations!!!!

Ok, just got the specifics from wiki: " second season of 20 episodes was announced by Syfy in December 2009,[3] and began airing in the United States on September 28, 2010.[4] The second half of season 2 is expected to return in Spring 2011.[5] Syfy announced on December 16, 2010 that it was cancelling Stargate Universe and that the Spring 2011 season would be its last."

Exo, pls give more details on the "canceled". They will finish the season right?

thanks for the nice pics of the yf-19, will add them to my collection
