You can probably have one custom made that looks the exact same, with better hardware, for less. Just an option for those who want to use this to take up wall space, especially if there's only going to be 10 made.

I just can't justify buying this, being priced like a high end guitar, and possibly being a middle end instrument. There are some things IMO, that just shouldn't mix in real life. Macross style ESP is one of them. It looks cool, but it's about sound/quality/and playability. You wouldn't see me playing that at a concert. If any of you do get this, do post a video of it through a decent amp. I'm interested in hearing how it sounds.

It' a mock up of the Paul Mccartney bass, which is a Hofner. If you're looking for a vintage one, you're probably looking at AT LEAST over $5K easily. They make newer ones, but they're still way up there.

I asked to get one done in the purple color that Yamato made one in when they first released their 1/1 scale helmets. They said they'd do it, but it cost more. That said, I'm cool with that. I just need a good picture of that purple color. Anybody have pictures or a link to where one of those helmets are at?

Does anybody have any pictures of the Yamato 1/1 scale purple helmet?

I sent an email over a year ago for one of these. So, are we all to go to their FB page, then write an email to them? I want one for certain.

Nice job. I'm working on one of these with the kit version. Always wanted the Alaska Base version 1A.

MacrossWorld Convention 2013 Information Thread
Jasonc replied to KiriK's topic in Conventions and Local Gatherings
I think you missed what the shirt meant. I'm about 10 minutes driving from this location, and it does look nice. This will be a great place to have this year's convention. -
I find it laughable, that Toynami is even being talked about in this thread. Toynami has been an inferior toy company all around when it comes to precision toys. They don't appear to use cad, and while some may praise their Beta/Tread, it wasn't really that great. Poor material choices, extra, unnecessary weight, and half-assed built (floppy legs, anyone?). It's a good thing that idea is, at best, a shoddy pipe dream.

Picking mine up from the post office tomorrow, along with a bunch of AR parts. Since I'm off tomorrow (had to work over the weekend) it should be a fun Monday.

I bought a total of 3 1/48s during their time. two low vis v.1, and 1 Fokker weathered. All were sold afterward. I hope they don't return. 1/60 was a perfectly fine scale, and anything bigger is just extra money, IMO.

MacrossWorld Convention 2013 Information Thread

I'm here to help out if needed. -
I stopped transforming any Bandai toys a long time ago. It's scary to think that after one transformation, most likely there will be a scratch somewhere on it. They're great to look at, but not fun to play with, at all.
-
Awesome. Glad this is finally getting some love. I'll have some stuff over to you.
-
I don't know if this has been asked, but is there a way to get this on DVD, or better yet, BR?
-
I don't know if you, or anyone else is a book reader, but I am not. However, I have read the first novel of Yukikaze, and it's a great book. It goes into a lot more detail about the planet, the enemy, and the inside of each character. It's a very good book and worth the read. I think volume 2 is now translated into English, but I haven't looked.

Bandai 1/72 fully transform able VF-1 plastic kit for Macross 30th Ann
Jasonc replied to Vi-RS's topic in Model kits
With Yamato once releasing just about every Valk, and even their 1/60 toy as an unassembled kit, I find ZERO need for this. Maybe if it looked a little better, I'd jump in for one, but it just doesn't have the charm. -
See, you learn sumptin' new e'ryday. Now, from taking the screenshot from the PS3, do you have to go on mwf to post it up from the PS3?
-
Yup, Isamu's YF-29 is awesome. I do like the original color scheme of the YF-30, but I also like the blue colored variant. It does look a bit awkward in fighter mode with the missile pod up. Not very aerodynamic, but I wouldn't display it like that anyways. Not to go off topic, but I did unlock the VB-6. Kills things extremely quick.

From others I've talked to outside these forums that live in Japan, Hong Kong, and other countries, yes, they are. That phenomenon isn't coming from over-saturation, or high prices. It has to do with no news. In just about every business, lack of news during a business acquisition, merger, or whatever this is, is usually never good news for the product if there's no updates. Maybe they don't know what they're going to do with the license, but that's something that should at least be mentioned. In any case, no updates makes anyone worry, not just the hardcore fans here.

I'm currently playing through the game a second time, and one thing I've noticed that bothers me about the transformation, is the tail wings, and how they just kinda stay attached by a small connection point. I don't know how accurate the game is, but if it is, the tail wings are oddly positioned in Battroid, and just stand out like a sore thumb. Front looks great, but the back of the battroid looks like a hot mess (insert Jack-in-the-Box Hot mess song here).
-
They should make a 1/60 Orguss. If this is the end for Macross toys, at least we can all admit, it was one helluva run. Still waiting for Graham's word back on this situation. It'd be nice if they (Arcadia) would give word on the status of the license. I think they're starting to lose faith from the fans for this franchise.
-
My one missing link. I didn't get one of these when the first versions came out, so I'm anxious to get it this time.
-
I just got the Mave last week. It is one loaded toy,,, loaded with awesomeness, and ordinance galore. I wish it was a larger scale, but I'm really glad I waited for this thing.

You may also want to watch Macross Plus, and if you want to get more of the major plot, Macross 7. 7 is a harder show to watch, but it does belong in the timeline. SDF:Macross and DYRL are supposedly in the same timeline, Zero is before that, but Plus takes place around 2040, 7 around 2045, Frontier in 2059.
