    I'm fine with 1/60. There was a 1/62 scale version, but it's much smaller than it should be, so if you're going by that, it's off scale. 1/60 wouldn't be bad, and if it is a little small, less money.

    Now the waiting game comes again. I'll get one, just to complete the line. Actually, I kinda like this one better than the others.

    That's BS that Grumman shut them down. I don't think a small little fan film using the F-14 would make them even look their way. I think either HG lied to Creavision, or Creavision is lying for whatever reason. So far, all of Creavision's lying hasn't added up to any logic, I suspect this is the same. Someone challenge them to prove Grumman cares enough to shut down their project, especially since it hasn't even started. I think they need some toilet paper to clean their mouth from all the B.S. they've brought.

    Put me down for one. Thanks

    I didn't pay over $200 for any of mine. Close, but the most I paid with shipping was around $189. The armor parts, I didn't even come close to paying $200 for any set. Most was for the Armor parts for Ozma, at $125. Never had the QC issues either , but I do admit, they are a bit sketchy, or can be.

    Yessssss. Please put me down for 1 Gamo

    I hope they make a great toy in 1/60 to indirectly go with the Macross toys.

    For me, that holy grail valk happens several times a year. As of now, once the YF-19 comes, that'll be my ultimate Valk. However, once another gem is mentioned, that'll be the one.

    Complaining about the prices of every valk is like complaining about the weather. If it's too much in your opinion, don't buy them. Simple as that. Not everyone can afford them. That's how just about every item for sale in the world works. Get over it and move on. I'm usually pretty understanding of someone's complaints about an item, but when that's all you hear from someone in just about every thread, it gets old real quick.

    At this point, HG is just the financier to employing a comic artist as a VP or animation, a skill-less brother of said artist as media, and an airport shuttle driver as their VP of Marketing. So no, I don't get surprised at the horrible job they do as barely surviving.

    With it being a fan project, why would Big West sue Harmony Gold over it? HG had no part in this project, at least not on paper, so no, that's not it. Big West has zero to do with this, and pretty sure that anyone trying to make it sound like they are, is completely lying, and dodging the facts.

    If it's official line art, I'd like some, as well as some in the Ex Gear.

    I just find it funny that Tommy Yune would refer to Kevin, and Kevin apparently doesn't know why the C&D was sent. Diversion tactics, but for whatever reason, if you actually care enough to blame someone, you can blame HG.
  14. Jasonc
    OK, it was HG... http://nuevoordenanime.com/index.php/297-exclusivo-harmony-gold-se-refiere-a-la-cancelacion-de-robotech-valkyrie-project Translated Kevin's statement: ""No, we have hidden the details behind the Cease and Desist. However, we have an obligation to protect not only our rights, but the licensees and the rights of the other partners. Anyway, we are working on a protocol to allow such films." Whether it was WB or HG needing to protect their interests, we can all put it on Harmony Gold, and so now we know that Creavision lied to everyone's face trying to pin it on Big West.
  15. Jasonc
    All Creavision has to do, is show the C&D. If there is one, it would say who it's from. What gives them a credibility issue, is that they're the ones blaming one company, then the other. I think they're trying to stay in HG's good graces, but either way, they're playing a game with everyone, and not being straight with anyone. Whomever the C&D came from that's who it came from. Question solved. I'm going to officially bow out till there's something substantial with this. At this point, I couldn't careless what happens with this project. I've lost respect for the group who did this fan project, and since I've already lost all respect for the staff at HG long ago, there's no change there in them or their mark fans trying to dodge this thing a possibly put it on a third party.
  16. Jasonc
    Considering that this project was known in Japan about as long as HG has known, and considering that BW talks to anyone at HG, it's extremely unlikely that they would ask HG to send Creavision a C&D. They would've sent it themselves. That theory just doesn't make any sense, especially since HG technically isn't involved in the fan production.
  17. Jasonc
    I find this to be a dodge, to get people blaming everyone else but HG. Maverick has this sad sense of needing to defend his poor savior, HG to the ends of the earth, even though it shows just how ignorant he is. You should hear what some people have to say about the mods on rt.com on various boards. It's really quite comical. As HG sent the C&D, they ultimately are to blame. Whether it be due to WB or not is inconsequential. My theory is that as this picked up from the first film, and gained a lot of traction from the RT fans, HG (Tommy Yune) decided they wanted to take and have more control over the project, perhaps where it gets released, wanting to decide where the story goes, or anything like that. When Creavision refused to give certain control over to them, Tommy turned on the project. For those who think this is impossible, it's happened before. It happened to UEG, happened to a fan art publication that was being worked on several years ago, happened to the Robotech Espanol facebook page before that got shut down as well. Those are 3 prime examples of HG/Tommy Yune wanting to take control of a project, and when he gets shut out, he's shut them down. The fact that a couple of us knew Tommy somewhat personally, I can say that I wouldn't put this past him as something he'd do. Honestly, I have to agree with Gubaba. I hope this causes a backlash from the South American fans, and chokes off more fans. At some point, these fans need to understand that what HG puts out, the way they treat their fans show that they don't care about them at all. They just care about their cash. They should just drop the franchise. It's old, it's incapable of moving past its original combined series, and they just don't care about the fans. Why care about them or this franchise? Move on! Macross is a much better franchise that makes everything for everyone.

    Still waiting on mine. Hopefully Monday, but it's strange mine hasn't shown up yet.

    I wondered that as well. I wonder if they'll cast top and bottom separately, and use glue or some sort of weld to tie them together. There are certain types of welding specifically made for plastic, like sonic welding, that maybe used. Either way, I just hope it's done right. The colors of the fighters in Zero are what made them so bad@$$ to me. They had more of a real world look to them, not this shiny space age fake look.
  20. Jasonc
    I dunno about this one. I have the Isamu colored 29, but I'm not too big on the actual design of this valk as a whole. It just looks to spacy and quite anorexic. Especially when you compare it to the Arcadia 19, that's my idea of a good hefty/slim ratio. In either case, Ozma seems to need more lasers like he needs more cowbell in Firebomber music.
  21. Jasonc
    I hope it's for the Frontier version Fast packs for the 19. If they have received the Frontier license, it could specifically be for this only. If they got the entire license, I would have to start saving up now for Arcadia 25s. I could see a massive sell off of the Bandai versions.

    Vf-1D vs. VT-1

    Jasonc replied to 3D-Brainx's topic in Toys

    I have both, but I'd go with the VT-1 Ostrich. Every time I see it, in the box or out, the song "Sunset Beach" rings in my ear. That, and it just looks so awesome with all it's orange Fast packs and bright colored training goodness, it's hard to resist. It just looks so different from all the rest, if you want your collection to stand out, I'd go with that.
  23. Jasonc
    Hmmmm, all great ideas. Make mine in 5.56, and we're talking ready for the imagined apocalypse. I've built my own AR for about that price, and it has top quality parts, so I don't see the sense in paying so much for plastic. I bet there are a few here, myself included that could make their own for much less than half that. Insert going to Home Depot here and getting the materials.
  24. Jasonc
    I'm still waiting on mine as well. I was hoping I'd get it today, so that I could start to work on it.
  25. Jasonc
    Figured that would happen. It's strange though, cause HG was supporting this project based on how they mentioned it in their convention "tour". I guess the idea that a fan film is doing more for the franchise than the HG staff brought up too many questions as to what they're actually doing over there, and decided to shut the noise down. Really unfortunate for HG, as they seem to be killing off their own fan hype. Lesson learned, DON'T DO ANYTHING FOR ROBOTECH!!!
