Shin Densetsu Kai 7.0

a LOT. tht thing may be off scale but even if its off the 1/18th scale its certainly bigger than a 1/32 scale if not the same size. ive seen a 1/48 tomccat and the striker is WAY bigger than that thing, the only thing bigger i believe is a 1/24 scale tomcat.

i gotta disagree. complextity of design factors in a lot. Look at the 1/100 VF-0 compared to teh swapable 1/60 VF-1. Vf-1 is CLEARLY more complex and look how much its priced over. Almost 30$. The swing bars in the anime are thin but whos to say they wont be on the toy? on a 1/60 i would expect those bars to be big enough not to break whil there is enough space to disgfuise it. The reason hasbros MPC prime is 70$ is because hasbro is a big F****n corporation. They charge less than takara probably because they are in a btter financial situation. its not a big secret that back in the late 90s, hasbro bailed takara out of a real bad financial situation. So while they are mutual companies and partnets, i believe hasbro can charge less because they mass produce so much stuff and like i said are in a better financial situation. Hasbro dont need to charge as much as yamato simply bcause they have way more money. yamato is a small company and i bvelieve they dont have that many dedicated sculptors aside from billy wong an nishikawa. it was known at one point that the macross 0 toys initially would be sculpted by some dude from bandai who sculpted the 1/48 fast pack parts., also......a transformation mechanism aint always easy to develoop. nishikawa was working first on 1/60 line and then out of nowhere the 1/48 came up. im sure he did not come up with the transfomation BEFORE the 1.60 was ready to be released. stuff like that aint cheap. i agree with the licensing though. oh and with the qrau its a financial risk...no other company has out out a qrau of that calibur and i uno bout japan but girl figures dont do as good as males here.

you gus are sizing up wrong. dont judge by that pioc. that pic is taken from seperate distances. jsut because they match up there dont mean they dont match up in real life. dont get the wrong idea,, the hasegawa comparisons are dead on by comparing the HCm nad such t the hasegawa is off. there is no reason to think the 1/60 VF-0 wouild cost as much as a 1/48. absoluely no reason. just because its kind of big? A lot of you forget that the engineering and transformation mechanisms would be a hell of a LOT easier to workj on the VF-0. for one thing nishikawa dont need to stress over night wondering how to make irt perfect variable..its got swing bars an at a/160 or 48 size they will be big enough to be durable AND hidden. the internal chestplate? seemes ingenius on the VF-1 right? guess what fanboys on the VF-0 it AINT internal. it merely slides down. again the 1/48 was pricey because o engineering for transformation and such. if not for thr atransformation they mineswell have just upped the 1/60 to that scale and changed NOTHING. i can tell you that if they did that it would have been much cheaper. i imagine the 1/60 VF-0 going qrau price at most. after all the moneys all in the engineering not the size. ALWAYS keep that in mind. qrau is bigger than 1/48 but dont cost as much .that should say something.

1/60 is median of the 2. not as big as 1/48 not as small as 1.72. FITS IN WITH 1.60 VF-1 LINE...AND.....lil more expensive than 1/100 but a LOT less expensive than 1/48. yuou guys saw the prices for 1/60 vf-1 vs 1/48....you KNOW how much the price difference is. fighter mode does not -= battroid height. I know for sure since the VF-1 is not as tall as the legnth of its fighter mode.

i got aerowings 2 whih is its predecessor in the states for dreamcast -WAY more realism....learn why the phantom ...sucks when fighting against the teen fighters -learn why the MIg 15 could outturn the phantom in nam....the F-86 in the game can tear the phantom to shreds(again both dependinfg on pilot if u know what ur doing a phantom is easy to kill witha saber aka outturn) -F-18 has good instantaneous high alpha pitchup -F0-14 cant max out over 6.5g -landings are MUCH more difficult. ace4s carrir landings aint nothin compared to aero elite. -Aeowings/elite is all about realistic dogfighting nad fighter pilot training. LOT of training. limit to 4 missles per plane. well in the one i got. -versus mode is MUCH btter than ac4. ac4 consists of holding r1 and pulling stick all the way. in aerowings if ur a newbie and ur opponent a veteran dont know..he WILL kno the minute u startr playting...none of the planes are FORGIVING. pull back on f16 too hard =black out pull too hard on f4-spiral and wobbly fgeel. it just wont go. -helps u realize why duke cunninhgham was bad ass...he made the phantom haul ass and from what i see in that game...thats HARD to do. F-104 is NOT ideal for dogfighting. -Ai is MUCH better than Ac4. -but overall the game depending on who u are aint as fun. me i like it. IM used to pc sims and i LOVE dogfhting. i can assure u if ur a perfect ac4 killer u WILL gwert shot down in aero eluite. the ai when hard IS hard. makes u a better ac4 pilot though. oh yea phantom in 1st level ac4 is NOTHING compared to aero elite.

i guess pefect transformation is cool but to me its of MUCH more importance on a valk than a destroid. if you really want to see the heat build up, mention perfect transformation and 1/55 vs 1/60 thread from 3 years back LOL. People think we are tense now, they aint seen NOTHIN! Hell people started flaming graham for his chunky monkey review as well! we were WAY more tense back then!

not everyone hates the VF-0. The japanese seem to like it they just want a bigger perfect transformable. MAcross plus was only an OVA at one point as well. Look how those sold. The BIG difference is tht now, yamato aint making toys years after the anime came out. No yamato is making toys before the series even ends! So of COURSE they are going to milk the hell out of the license they got. or ranchise whichever. THey are positioning themselves in teh position takatoku was in when macross dfirst came out. with bandai virtually out of sight from macross and toy nami not being abl to lay one finger ona 0, yamato has everything in its corner to make the best macross 0 toys and get enough profit as well. bandais got the license for macross 7 why they still hang on noone knows they the hell why,. 0 seems a lot more likely to get to 1/60 than the plus toys do. for one thing the series just started a year ago and is not done yet. macrss plus already has an established 1/72 line with just one more release left. it seems more likely that yamato would make a 1/100 0 line, then move up to perfect variable once enough profit is made. to yamato i belive 0 is the hot property, plus can take it to backburner after a few months after the long awaited Yf19FPs release(besides out of all plus releases, the onyl one erveryone cares about is the 19......the 21 and 11b Fps came out with not much people really exited for them). yamato FINALLY has a chance to milk a CURRENT macross series before it even finishes. wil they>? u bet your ass they will! im still holdin onto my theory that a large perfect variable will be around before x mas. (time estimation and such....by end of summer i believe we will have 1/100 Vf-0D and SV-51 already....with focker VF-0S by late november...gives tthem enough time to make and engineer) though id like 1/48, id be happy with 1/60. 1/60 since it fits in with yammie 1/60 VF-1.

that girls got a nice bust. astrays kick!!!! too bad ive been bored o gundam to even buy anything latel.

HELL yea! not only would it be as tall as that spiderman that a bunch of our members just bought recently, but with that size...GOOD bye 1/48 backpack hinge! bigger usually = more DURABLE!!!(cept for 1/60 vs 1/48 backpack but you get the point) and people by all means a 1/48 wouildnt b astronomicallty huge. astronoicmally huge is the BBI 1/18th scale F-18 hornet coming in summer. witha 3-4 ft wingspan in that f-18 toy compared to the MUCH smaller VF-0 you guys think the VF-0 in 1/48 scale wouldd be too big? BAH!!

they probably could. Peopel are judging prize by size and to me this might not up the price. Yamato is not as small a compabny as they were when they dfirst starrted. the 1/48 VF-1 racked in a lot of profit and the engineering used for teh VF-0 would be a lot more easier since they dont need nishikawasan to come up with an ingenius way to transform the thing. With the VF-1 nishikawas transformation scheme was groundbreaking and accurate not to mention noone knew what the hell he was thinking when we first saw the pics. noone knew what it was like tioll graham unleased the reviews upon us. But this time nishikawas got the work cut out for him. 0 uses swingbars and the heatshieled is not internal. both of those seem to be the most crucial points o the 1/48 in terms of difficulty of design in transformation. as long asd the 0 is in 160 or 1/48 scale, the bars should be large enough to be durable and stay hidden. the chest plate can simply be slid down to get the shield over the canopy. but like all of us we just want a bigger ) whether its 1/48 or 1/60./

uhm no. The VF-0 wouldnt b neourmoulsy big in 1/48 scale and no we dont just want the detail we want a BIG ASS ROBOT. yes i realize it could cost a little over 160$ but i dont care! I would gladly not buy any robot toy for a 4 month period just to save up for a VF-0 in 1/48 scale. Its a common fact that me, imode, blaine23 and others like drclay LOVe big robot toysz. and would damn well pay over 150$ for them. You guys keep thinking this thing will be astronomically huge. if you want astronnomically huge get a 1/48 destroid. a 1/48 VF-0 wouild onlty be a few more inches taller than a VF-1. I fail to realize how some of you act like this thing would be the size of a jumbo machinder or something. We would know the difference between difference and scale so last time i checked none of us needed our eyes checked. here is thje lowdown. -majority of uis want.. a-perfect transformation b-bigger scale than 1/100....1/.48 at most, if not at least 1/60....very few want this in /72 since it woul onlty be able to fit in with the HCMs and the bandai macross plus stuff. c-a big VF0-0 d-Detail detail detail. detail found ona 1/48 cant be crammed into a 1/100 toy. otherwise the banprestos would have rocked more ass than the 1/60s.

i got a lot of faith in what matt alt says. Hes a respectable dude. I see him as the graham of japanese toys in general where as graham is the almighty yamato macross dude. it makes sense to make a koenig monster and its appeal to me is immense, god know sit will look badass,. come on its yamato we talking about here. something tells m they said screw escaflkowne nad worked on this more.

id rather have it in 1.60 so it wopuld be more durbal and have more detail. yuamato always hammers in way more detail in their bigger releases. Not to mentiopn it would fit in with the entire Vf-1 1/60 line. if anything 1/48 but if it had to be smaller than that def 1/60. more releases in 1/60 line than anything else.

yea you know this game an ae combat in general is GOOD. Lets face it man to say all console sims are crap is overlooking everythiung./ Ace combat AFD strike, and aerowings never set out to give you a freaking real total life todeath flying experience. if you want that you WILL not get it on the console market. ZThats obvious. what console is a ram whore with more ram than a high end PC, a joystick, a keyboard, uyses gigs for a sim, and MASS markets a sim? NONE. iuf you want realistic sims dont even bother with consoles. consoles are stictly bout instantaneous FUN. if you want killer real life stuff get falcon 4. actually makes ui AFRAID to go one on one against an SU-27. you get the real FEEL with falcon 4 more so than any other PC sims. yes i said simes I uysed to play a bunch of them and have a bunch too,. Acer combat is all about fun and it IS. FOr the hardcore flight junkie who wants to go right in thactoin without reading a damn novel than ace combat is perfet., us hardcore junkies appreciate anything with planes. ace combat aint no exception buddy. the CLOSEST you will get with realistic sims on console is the aerowings series. It has blackouts, redouts, stalls, and most of the planes function REALISTICALLY. no granted the F-14 and any other plane wojnt flat spin on you but in GENERAL each plane has ideal characteristics respectable to their aircraft. for example F-4 vs F-16=GOOD LUCK. A hard level F-16 Ai opponent will annhilate you if you dont knwo how to maste rthe phantom which is more of an energy climb and zoomb fighter. Dont even TRY out turning a falcon in that thing. F-14=for some reason this thing cant max out at 7.5 gs;;;only at 6.5. No blacking out and when landing on carrier you DEFOINITELY feel like its heavy and u realize why its a damn turkey low and slow. F-16-nowe this bastard is a damn turning figher. for you ace combat junkies who have no idea what realism in a sim is like at all this is THEE plane to use to kill anything alive F-15=raw power and speed and good turning for a big ass plane. Did i mention the F-4 likes to wobble like hell if u pull the stick back too hard? also when too slow in vertical the tomcat likes to hang floating negatively. The F-4 is no turning fighter so ythose of u used to ace combats F-4...THINK AGAIN. anyways the versus mode is WAY more fun than ac4s 1 v 1....your opponent cant outturn you by throttling up and pullin stick. NOOOOOO this game in versus mode truly seperates the men from the boys. this game is semirealistric and out fo all the games demonstrates it best on console. dogfights are heaven sent to me when versindg myt friends. The F-18 can even pitch up its nose high alpha pretty instantaneous;ly at low speed. ace combat has some realism but not much. no fighter can possibly carry 68sidewinders! and the flight mdoel is WAY exaggerated...unlike aeriowings 2 s goofd model. again dont expect a pc sim out of aerowings. just expect a console sim WITH respectably realistic flight qualities.

this script is over a yr old i believe. Didnt one of our members post this before? This seduction theme I have only heard once. IN one of the most recent scripts poosted here months backl it had nothing like this and was more believable than this. IF anything this doesnt talk at ALL about the spaceship anakin is seen flying in the leaked episode 3 production trailer(the one with glimpses of obiwan vs anakin before special effects applied) This also does not even describe the 2 duels that anakin and obiwan have. ok so it esxplinaed one but not the ending one. NOr does it inclue tha fact that a wookiue will be in the next movie. This script lacks a lot and for those of you who dont know it seems more like something on the back of a 4th grade story book. I saw the preproduct5ion trailer and maybe some of you did too. I believe it was linked here before but it looked good and certainly didnt show any hints to this spoiler story here. no offense dude but i think this script has FAKE written all over it not to mention it seems a year old for a rumor.

no online multiplayer. On gamefaqs one of the dudes said from famitus that it was orignially planned but they wanted to give the squad group the ace combat treatment first. the AC5 dont use HDD bcause it loads faster than AC4 WITH HDD!!!!(prety fast)

yea they sucked hard in part 2. The only thing cool bout them was seein actual people in the game. I am glas they got the A-6 in. Ever sicne watching countless reruns of wings on discovery channel and flith of the intruder(yeayea i know but it was WAY btter than iron eagle) I hav liked the intruder. I really would have liked it if the A6-F and Tomcat 21 programs were given the go ahead. BAd ass grunman heayweights, a upgraded fleet aior supereiority strike fighter, and a big ass bomber with some sidewinders in case intercepted and tomcats aint there. way better than stupid hornets. I too hope they modeled the F-14 right this time as well. they almsot made it TOO manueverable in AC4. I think Ac2s f-14 flight model was more accurate since the F-18E ZOe was hard to get a hold of and shoot his ass down.(took a couple minutes) rathjer than in 4 when i can annhilarte bogies with my tomcat within 2nds of entering the arena. BTW I think the posterboy plane will still be the super flanker this time around. i mean come on when HASNT it? To me it seems namco likes it better than the F022 they render a whole lot.i hope we get Fj furioes too!

yep BLOCK 60 F-16. Let us hope tehy have the ASF-14 or Tomcat 21!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I would also love to see the YF23. I wouldnt care if the F22 is in there or not but this is Ace combat so its a givenb. i wouldnt even wish for a flanker kuz i KNOw namco cant get enough of it and will put at least 3 variants in. Ever since Ace Combat 2, they developed a "Flanker Fetish" Most of the major characters have it(some in AC3, posters of AC3 featuring flanker, the character who saves the raptors ass in the AC2 intro, itop enemy ace squadron in AC4)

the nose has 3 grooves at the waist. teh swing bar is designed to be loose in place. ZThe waist can turn with bar attached to the farthest grooves left or right. unlike the 1/60 there are grooves to limite movement sideways...on teh 1/60 u can twirl the waisst 360. 1/48 is more like 30 degree left right

a squadron of prowlsers IS 4-8 dude., Boys so far there is no online play announced. Originally the rumor was that there would be but it wouldnt need the HDD. As it stands now the sources I go to say no and that it loads as faster than Ac4 . This comparison is made Ac5 vs AC4 WITH HDD to improve loading time. believe it or not AC5 is FASTER in loading!

a sattelite thats a POS. also the gun arm is too big and has no ELBOW! WTF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! up until this point the decepticons were full poseable but NO they frigged up on one of their GREATEST character. stiull buyin since i like tanik an bot mode..just wish there was an elbow on gunarm with smaller arm

BTW that seems like an A-6F to me..notive the dedicated sidewinder ports.. notice its load out -dumb bombs -siedwinder -rocket pod? zunis? maybe we can cycle through more than 2 weapons this time around!

because simply put this is the biggest naval air mistake since aking the phantom a pure interceptor with no intention to dogfight. A common phras is "even with smoke and mirrors the super hornet cant do the tomcats job" The tomcat was able to outdo the phantom in EVERY way. The only advantage the hornet got is some other electronics and easier maintenance. BUt this is a long wagging debate for another thread. coincidentally i started a long one tat got locked for an unkown reason. back on topic. I hope they got some vietnam era jhets in this! who gives a damn if its in the future give me some crusaders damn it! David that plan for al hoe yes HOEnets sounds purely political to me. Who is running the navy now robert mcnamara? damn teh whol air wwing is commonalitized! If Ef18g has GUN then it is on of my fav antiradar planes. See the hornet to me is fine and decent but when it comes to replaving the tomcat i bring the artillery out. Big ass turkey forever!(yes i realize its not as manueverable as otehr teen fighters but crap i love it. For a plane that big its moves damn well and did its job damn well too)

IM an art majo here at VCU and the thing is, art is a hard job to get rich at. IM not surprised to here animators getting only that much in japan. Theres nothing reallly that fans can do. Thats jsut the life. If you are planning to b an artist dont expect to get rich and succesful at first you gotta work hard. nothing in life comwes easy.

IMHO the onyl way teh MPC besats a yamato out is in playability. The MPC has more playability than the 1/60. Does it hae more playability than the 1/48? HELL NO. aesthetics were realy a no brainer. Does MPC better than 1/60 in looks? again blindness. I never uestioned hjow much the 1/60 loooked voer the MPC but when it came to playing with them, the MPC came out n top. now when the 1/48 came, it was more playable tehn my aMPC and 1.60 in terms of aesthetics who are u kidding? no way in hell fast opack or not does the MPC look better than the 1/60 the anal fro detail shoji kawamori approved the 1/60s. that shlu tell u somethin
