505thAirborne

Though the anime & CGI look impressive, 1st off that is one hell of long preview!! I'm willing to give this one a chance, could be fun. I would have liked to see a bit more of an update on the crews uniforms and pilots. The Fighters looked like their competing with the missile loads of a VF-25 and I swear for a moment those Cosmo panthers looked like the VF-2SS cockpit of MAC II. Since theres no translation is this a story in the future or is this like the new BSG, an update of the original series?

If anyone here has ever been to an Airshow, museum or even been in the NAVY, Then you know that almost all Tomcats have swapped out pieces, parts, equipment, etc. F-14A's with Super Tomcat F110 engines, and yet the original sensor pod under the Nose, Cockpit and ejection seat upgrades and so on. Quite frankly for a 1/18 scale TOY, not a resin kit or model kit, This F-14 looks amazing so far!! I'd prefer to know it was getting a VF-2 Bounty Hunters paint scheme, but otherwise I am impressed.

I agree, Some more preview pics would be nice, especially in Cruiser mode!!!

Like I said, if ya still like the toys, might as well keep them!! And Miriya said it best: "The die cast content has a special nostalgia for me. I love my V.1 Yamatos."

Just let your heart decide........ and what ever your wallet can afford!! But seriously, get the YF-21 1st, the fighter mode alone is worth it!!

We need some pics, I'm curious what they look like?

Hope you never get bored pf compliments Talos, cause that one is too cool!!!!

I belive you requested some pictures Knight26!!

That GARFISH Ship And Fighter escort display is awesome, If I had the money, I would find a way to get one!!!

A Gundam truly is NO match for Roy's VF-0S!!!

That is too cool man!! Awesome job honkhet!!

As long as Yamato & Bandai keep pumping out new toys, updated versions with better & newer gimmicks, paint jobs, articulation, etc. It will be harder for the older versions to rise in value. I'm sure there are those out would disagree, but now a days it more or less New flavor of the month vs. I gotta have that rare V.1 1/60 to fill the gap or that older 1/55 Takatoku model VF-1A CF. Lets be honest 10 years ago, if you had a 1/55 VF-1S Hikaru DYRL Strike, it might have been worth close to $1500.00 or more. ( I Still have mine, box and all & will not sell it, to much personal value to me) But know a days your lucky if you can get $250.00 for it, There just to much to choose from now a days. I think if toy making were to halt for say 3 or 4 years, prices on the old 1/55, V.1 & V.2 1/60's would go up in value. And the now depreciated 1/48 would become what it already is in my eyes which is a collectors item. Especially since its scale size 1/60 from here on out. The bottom line is this, If you bought the toy, you like it, hell you even love it and could never see replacing it, then thats all the value you need. If its a matter of resale, well thats up to the buyer & economy. My 1/3000 SDF-1. VF-1S DYRL Strike 1/55 circa 1984, 1/8 Mospeada Ride Armor. Never selling them, now way, no how.

Thats is 2 tons of awesome!! Is that the 1/72 or 1/60 scale?

Mr. March, you know how to make my Day!! I need to add my own UN-OFFICIAL color schemes to this thread!!

He got me with a technicality!!!

That is awesome snakerbot!!! Man if I was in a combat zone and saw that VF-27 coming at me I'd run like hell, That thing looks like 2 tons of Evil!!

Wow, I was thinking of getting this one on DVD. Its thats boring??

If so thats true, But Ley/Rand only wore his goggles in civilian clothes, not his Ride Armor suit.

Shes a repro, a few original parts, but a repro!!! I look forward to your other displays and the Daedalus!!!

Just amazing how the whole process works!!!

When you get a chance see it, Awesome Anime and the only time as of now you'll ever see the VF-4 in its brief moment of action!! Not to mention Ichijo's flight suit, love that one!!

Nothing but love for FLASHBACK 2012!!!! Its the final goodbye to our friends Ichijo, Misa and Minmay!!!!

Its 3rd on my playlist!!

That is definitely one way to avoid paying the high prices for a WWII Flak helmet, Looks really good so far!! What do you think of this one MT? Is your Flack helmet all done or do you still have some touching up to do on it?

To many good groups and tunes to list, Anything thats good or creative I'll listen too, but heres a few: Queen, AC/DC, U2, Linkin Park, Pink Floyd, RUSH, The Appleseed cast, Zeppelin, Sublime, KISS, Macross soundtracks, Like I said to many titles to list. Of odd interest, though I love the Hendrix version of "All along the watch tower", the Battlestar version is awesome if you haven't heard it yet!!
