Shin Densetsu Kai 7.0

Yea i misread man sorry about that.

GOOOOD that thing is beautiful!! Now THAT is how you do good liveries!! Unlike most of the other shortnet squadrons with minimalistic garbage.

Ako na sa united states, si polidread tiga near manila ba? Hindo ko alam. Hey Poli how about a phalanx girl, anyone try that yet? And sorry for derailing ang thread ito!! LOL.

THAT is the scheme dragon should use!!! Totally awesome and makes the regular scheme bland. Hikaru, thanks a lot for posting the pics of the sader!! Never saw it much in the AG role but seeing it makes the look and presence of it hella cool. Kind of like an F/A-18C only 50s vintage like.

Nani, if im one of the dumbasses your saying exist in this thread then your wrong. Yamato is a business. NOT a moneymaking friend. Do you think they really care whether or not some gaijins by their product? No what they care about is whether the stuff they make is gathering dust or flying off shelves in japan. And the VF-0? HAH! Tell me did macross zero even do that well in japan? Would the general populace by that over the Gundam IMplules or whatever the hell new figure in 5 differnet variations is out there in japan? What makes you think kawamori even approved the new sculpt they showed off at tokyo fest 2004? You DO realize without HIS approval yamato can NOT release the said macross toy? You DO realize that he can be just as anal as katsushiro nightow? YOu ALSO realize that kawamori is sometimes ballshard to get in contact with for approval meetings? You DO realize that he is also making other anime? And anyways Graham is a father now, hes got tons of stuff to do, and what else macross is yamato making right now? NOT MUCH!! Besides its not like they cut him off, hes got stuff to do, and they arent really doing much with macross now. If its that way then what does he have to report us? NOTHING! While I do think it was cool for them to keep in touch and all that, I mean look at it this way, Grahams got a kid to feed and raise, yamatos got other products other than macross to produce. YOu never treat your FRIENDS that way. And fans of a company>? Thats a different story. LIke I said they are out to make a buck, not friendships. Whether you got screwed over with a broken 160, they could care LESS, they got your money and they ain't givin' it back holmes, plain and simple. And besides if they really LOVED us before like you are getting at, then why is it none of their english speaking officials posted here themselves? Yea they really LOVED us. Oh man. hearts and stuff everywhere. I still cant figure out why a lot of you act like they owe us something. They cant even cater to our market DIRECTLY, why would they focus on us? And macross zero did not do so hot in japan, so im really not surprised yamato didnt do anything with the license.(and dont even say i DIDNT want a VF-0 youo ALL saw my polls from the past 2 years!)

Roy, I heard the DVD version of the movie was not good. Someone said it was just a straight port to DVD, it wasn't enhanced in any way. You might be able to get the VHS pretty cheap though.

THe yamatoa one is big and bulky and looks like it can murder anything that looks at it. I like the yamato one!

spacy, IM hoping its either rodimus or galvatron. Hell at any rate, God Ginrai would be BAD ASS!

TOld ya guys Yamato is just being smart, they know how takatoku and bandai both ended up with the license, do you think they would really flood the market would expensive ass merchandise and risk ending up like them when they already saturated the market? I sure don't. Howard, thanks for the info on how sales are around your area. Its giving us fans here the bigger picture in terms of how things are working.

LOL naw TMP actually has good sculptors. Why bother hiring toynami? I think spawn should stay shortnosed, and not come in a leather case. lol. Anyway yea the toyliner took a nosedive i dont even know why they are still called action figures. They are definitely plastic statues that you can pose some limbs with. Waves 1-3 were cool but then as waves progressed articulation started lacking hardcore. meh. IMHO anyways. Did they say how long this new series will be on tv?>

To be honest, I never heard much good response from most of the fans, whether it be us on MW or the japanese on the BBS overseas. The only reason people wanted this thing was because it was the only VF-0 toy announced. But even diehard phoenix lovers like me didnt want it. In any case I keep dreaming and hoping bandai would make one. Hah dreams alas.

Is there a reason super bugs are not allowed to have those on the tips? Aerodynamic flaws or penalties perhaps? IM alwyas used to seeing it with winders...so I guerss my mind is fixated towards that. So it was dissapointing when I opened my dragon F-16 to find that it only came with winders. I hope dragon makes a YF-17. Now that would be GREAT in diecast! Besides to my knowledge, noone has ever made one so far!

For what its worth I think it looks cool!!! I actually like Todd's artwork a lot more in spiderman 1-12 rather than his spawn stuff. While spawn is cool and an antihero I havent been interested in the comic for years now. I never saw the cartoon...maybe I will get it on DVD. Terry any info onto what network is going to show this?

I prefer swinders myself on the tips, but out of curiosity, why dont you want the AMRAAMs on the tips of the super bug? Something tells me they will put them on the tips.....dragon has a tipAMRAAM mount fetish as it seems. And that pic you posted lynx....man it makes my langley F-15C look more accurate since it lacks sparrows in that pic!!! I hope Dragon gets around to making a F-22A and YF-23. I could care less about a internal opening weapons bay. Less parts to worry about and heck an easier job for them to do!! I too like the Super bug F over the E. The F just screams MULTIMISSION a lot louder to me. Hopefully a black aces version comes out.

Graham have you seen the New ray tomcats? The first ones had a 1/.48 pilot shoved into a 1/72 canopy, and a HORRIBLE cockpit!! It only seated one and was more like an F-8 cockpit. The newer releases have the corrected canopy. But the most annoying thing was the wing sweep! HORRID!! At full sweep...heck any sweepp...it was ASYMETRICAL!!! Totally ugly. Skull leader, not sure when I will get the 1/48 unimax tomcat, but still waiting for someone else to buy it to see if its got retractable gear. If it has fixed gear...its kinda pointless being that its obviously a toy and armours got the market covered for 1/48 precision diecast tomcats. I hope its retractable gear!! IF so it would be the best tomcat "toy" to fit in with the 1/48 VF-1.

not really.... LOL. So boys, anyone cooking up a mech woman combiner drawing?

That reminds me. badcataviation.com has a 1/48 F-14 from unimax or motormax. Not sure which company. But it is listed as a diecast model/toy. I believe the liveries are VF-154. Anyone have this yet? It seems interesting. If its got retractable gear I am DEFINITELY buying it!! As for me I buy metal rather than plastic since metal can be handled more roughly(....well a tad bit in some cases..my impression from my 2 dragon warbirds is that they shouldnt be messed with too much...however my ertls....). I wouyld want a wolfpack tomcat over a bounty hunters one. Is fast eagle 107 Kleeman's bird? I get confused...its been a while since I read Gilchrist's tomcat book, but was the other tomcat pilot the one who had the first kill? I know they credit Kleeman with the first sometimes. Sad to hear he died in a hornet accident stuck in the ground. Tragic loss. And the man did so much for the Super tomcat program too. Did anyone get Gilchrist's crusader book? It's the best one I have read!! Too bad its near impossible to find now.

LOL that would make it look like a group orgy though. LOL.

flyingmule.com has added more upcoming F-14 releases. VF-2 bounty hunters and VF-41 Black Ace's F-14A with liveries from the 1981 shootdowns are the ones being made. VF-2 is in high viz 70s era I believe. With Dragon making their F-15s FINALLY with sparrows on, could the phoenixes be close behind for the tomcat? The proto F-14 from dragon looked too clean, being armed only with 2 sidewinders. ANy of you planning on getting these?I am still praying the F-14B they make is engine accurate at least. Also, its obvious to me that most diecast aircraft models are not for rough play, especially the dragons, but since they are diecast metal and such, what purpose does the diecast serve? Is the durability of metal better for shipping a complete model versus one made from styrene? Is that the reason>?

so fresh n so clean clean!!! I LOVE TV Max VF-1A!!!

Its hard for me to say right now but, can anyone tell me what exactly tenjin does to illustrate? Does he do 3d CG modeling programs or just straight up drawing>? Either way it is beautiful and right now I am out of the looop concerning his works, this si the reason I ask. HAd no idea he did the macross plus poster back in 2000, that one was badass

Thats badass man!! EXO are you gonna paint it in orange or low viz? I think VF-1D's would look badass as Low viz's. Screams interceptor!

Dude those are AWESOME!!!!!!! I one day hope yamato gets around to making a TV Max VF-1A. He kicked so much ass in that thing. PLus its just a simplistic beautiful fighter.

you guys do realize that if they spend tons of money hiring sculptors and scheduling and trying to find kawamori for approval visits over and over again and a lot of money producing a good amount of something that might not sell in japan's product climate yet, that yamato might go bankrupt and cease to exist? Come on guys they flooded the market, why would they flood it again when all their stuff is still sitting on shelves? I want a PV VF-0 and YF-19FP 1/48 just as much as all of you but come on now, they can't do everything, especially if they know they will not get enough profit back. Or make enough. Whichever.

Gusto kong mga participate ako dito.....gusto kong mag draw ang babae na sa metal siren suit!!! maganda ng metal siren!!!! Aye naman....if only I had time!! Who knows ng pares ng dito sa macrossworld...perhaps next week!! I feeel like I am missing out.
