It's possible, but some of these parts, when they are enlarged, need to be hollowed out. It'd cost a fortune to get it done as-is, and the weight would just add unneeded tension and strain on parts.

Because I don't really collect stuff in 1/72 or 1/10, unless it's something I really have to have, and I'd like it to size up to the rest of my 1/60s. I forgot to add, this kit is 1/100.

Here's pics of the Studio Half-Eye version. Not the greatest of pics, but hope they suffice. :Edit: I'm trying to see how feasible it is to get this kit 3D scanned, and enlarged to a 1/60 scale, so it's the same size as the other valkyries. Wouldn't that be somethin'?

I'm sure if it hasn't been rectified by now, Someone in Japan will make sure it is.

If that ad was valid, I'd hope that Satelite, and Big West are aware of it. If it's just some idiot fan's doing, then, that's par for the course, I guess. It's gotta feel pretty sad for them, when no one is really talking about much of anything about their franchise, and this is the only good thing to come in relation to Robotech. In just a sample of what is going on in the Macross franchise, the VF-19 Kai sound booster has just been released, the second movie is coming on Blu-Ray in October, new issue of Macross the First coming out in the new publication this month, and that's just some of the stuff over the next couple months.

This will be fun to get. Out of curiosity, does it just come with the sound booster, or does it have any extra gimmicks, like that Mylene figure that was seen in the background of the pic of the unpainted 1J, 1S, and 1A?

I'll put up some pics tomorrow. Gotta charge up the camera.

Damn, that's sweet. I love the VA-3, just made me pull out my Studio Half-Eye VA-3. I want this kit.

I think Crest of the Stars had much better ship battles than Southern Cross did. Great story, and also an epic opening theme song.

I noticed that as well. The physics are a bit off on that section, but it's still very good.

If I had to say what I liked about Southern Cross, it is Jeanne taking a shower... Just kidding, but there was one good thing about it, which was the comedy that was in it. Sadly, that was the only thing that I ended up enjoying from Southern Cross. The mecha and all that is just kinda an afterthought for me. The soldier armor was pretty good, but still not a highlight.

He's got a super punch, and....makes flour in his spare time. I just got the new Dengeki Hobby, and it is really, really good. Those scratchbuild Neo Glaugs are awesome. I wonder if that kit transforms at all? If only Yamato would make one of those.

Another Sheryl to buy. This one looks damn good as well. OK, I'll be getting one of these as well. These sets must be doing really well, to warrant so many variations.

Hmmm, VHS tapes, check some laserdiscs, check Legacy DVD set, check remastered DVDs, check Protoculture Ed. check youtube channel, check Netflix channel, check A&E version soon,,,,,,

Because they want your money, and this pretty much ensures that if you want one of each, you have to buy one of each. I could get mad at it, but it's capitalism.

That 2 seconds, for some odd reason, is engrained in my memory, don't know why.

I believe during the battle between Max and Milia, there is a shot of Max hitting the thrust in battroid, and it briefly shows the vents shown in T-rex's version providing some of that. I wish I could remember if that was DYRL, or t.v. maybe that's where the difference lies?

Honestly, this could go in circles. Basically, you can come up with good things for HG to follow, things to consider, things to do, and great ideas overall, but if Tommy didn't think of it, it'll never get done. That goes to what Keith just said. The Yune only thinks of that franchise as a hill of fans that he is on top of. If another fan does something just as good, or more creative, or anywhere to threaten his fragile hut on top of that hill, he does what he can to knock all those down. It's also like the Wizard from Wizard of Oz. He's trying to get as many people to think he's big, great, and all powerful, but in reality, all he's done is barely being held together. That's when, (cue big announcement from HG) they default to the original Robotech, re-re-re-released for your pure enjoyment, as if you've never seen it before.

I absolutely love these kits. As for the 1J, if they don't release the M & M versions again, I'll have to look into the feasibility of staining the 1J the right color. I'm hoping to get two of the 1J, then probably one of each of the others.

I'm not even going to start on the speculation, nor am I going to put all my hope in this, but it would be great if they did another series.

Sweetness. GBP madness

If there were pieces that you weren't happy with, I would've replaced them. I would've been willing to work with you on a solution to the problem. I did mention it was a kit, meaning that the parts did require work. They aren't meant to simply take out and be ready to pose and play with. In any case, should there be a future kit, the good news is, they will be of a higher resolution print, and should look much, much better, and require much less cleanup.

Who is it that we are asking for hinges? When I first inquired about hinges, there weren't any off-white hinges available (well over a year ago). I still need a couple off-white hinges, but I would love to just get one set. Graham, if you could add me for one set of those, I could make that work. Thanks.

If the person who did that, only new anything about Macross, they would've realized that the appeal of Firebomber was the fact that they aren't part of the military. That's probably JANICE (Jugs And Nipple Implants Certainly Enhance) emulating someone else from a distant universe. Quoted for Effin' TRUTH.

I could only hope that the artist who did this has improved. Unfortunately for me, the age of the picture doesn't make it any better. I'm not going to criticize the person who drew the picture, because that may have been the best they could do. Hopefully they are always trying to improve, and that's all I can say about that. The idea of using Macross created characters in Robotech,,, we've been there already in this thread.
