  1. Its a kind of a good point to say if Bandai doesn't get it right the 1st time, there's always Version 2. However, so far though Bandai is not winning anyone over with their 1/60 DX VF-25 design so far. At least the original 1/60 & Mac + Yamato's looked good from day one and were passable, they must have been, we all own a handful at least. And Yamato has only gotten better over time (QC is another topic). But will wait & see how Bandai does, Maybe when the VF-25 release's it will be better than we thought/hoped. And a VF-171 in all Variants will come out as well. And very true about Bandai & its licensing follies, if they have the Copyrights, then use & abuse them for their toy building ways!!
  2. Now that looks like a Hobby Shop to me, Wish we some like that here!!! Everytime I go to a Hobby shop whether here in KS, MO or when I lived in Los Angeles, they are always dark, dank, under stocked and no variety.....Rude as hell service too!!! I'll bet these shops have every type of Anime model, Car, bike & aircraft kit you could want with service & a smile to match!!! To just walk in and by a brand new Macross Kit, that would make my day!!!
  3. Holy Crap!!!! That looks awesome, So soon i will have a VF-0C in my collection!!! I'm going to buy the VF-0D too and have the full line up!!! WOW!!!!!
  4. The last Bandai Kit i ever had was the VF-2SS and a few Gundam F-91 kits, do they assemble in the same fashion, or is this more like the Hasegawa Macross Zero kits, lots of glue, putty serious patience!!?? Thought I would ask since you actually have one now. Show us some pics when you have it painted!!!
  5. Its a shame to see that this is the very best Bandai could do.... I'll just save up for more 1/72 scale models of the VF-25 and wait for my VF-11B 1/60 from Yamato to come out, will be worth the wait & accuracy I'm sure!!
  6. hey 1/1 LowViz, thats actually not to bad an idea. Though one way or the other this is all speculation on how it will actually look OR function. But The tail fin definitely seems to be a prime concern of most Macross fans.
  7. The tail is barely protruding out at all, and even if it did on the new Yamato, I'd rather have that, then small tail wings like the original 1/72 version. But if the new yamato looks anything like this model, I'll be very happy!!
  8. Ok here is some definite proof Yamato can maintain the proper look, dimensions & line art of the VF-11B and still have it transform properly. Not sure if anyone else posted these pictures, but here goes. This is of the STUDIO HALF-EYE VF-11B resin kit. Fully transformable. And if you are seeing what I am seeing, Between the feet, landing gear & Tails, it can be done!!

    Extra shots!!

    Another round of Valkyries!!
  10. This is most of my entire Macross Toy & Model collection. many of these items were purchased as far back the 1990's, a few are actually from the 80's. My SDF-1 & Hikaru's VF-1S 1/55 Strive Valkyrie are my most prized possessions, I also have a small run of Mospeada toys as well. With Macross Frontier toys finally releasing and More Macross Zero models to get, I'll have to get another bookcase soon!!! Thanks for looking!! Your thoughts & opinions are always welcomed!!
  11. No signs of Armor or fast packs yet that I have seen.... hopefully soon!!
  12. We should live so long to see that happen. Would be awesome though!!!
  13. Is that what the actual production version will look like, or that still of the prototype? Fighter modes looks ok, i would just leave the landing gear up. Either way, still looks better than Bandai's Macross 7 collection.
  14. I hope the last episode is an hour long, just don't see how everything....Ok most of everything can really get answered without it being "well its your interpretation what happened". Just seems likes its gonna be a rushed ending. Hope I am wrong. Also, I watched episode 24 (Subbed) again this morning. Instead of Flashbacks, wish hey just did a whole flashback episode about the SDF-GLOBAL, and the 117th convoy, Ranka's family....would have been better. But where does it look like Alto bails out as some have pointed out? Before he fly's past Bremen/Ranka's brother? Also Leon is a d@#che-bag, he's gonna get everyone killed!!
  15. In that case, maybe Macross 25 should borrow the BLACK-HOLE Bomb from Gunbuster, that should do the trick!! But seriously, how many more episodes are left in this series, So far its not looking too good for Alto and the others. Starting too look like the a real downer of an ending here.
  16. Ranka's brother & his VF-27 need to get blown the hell up!! Don't care if he is under mind control or not, He needs to go down. Ozma or Alto, either one....waste this SOB!!!
  17. Sharon Apple & Ishtar!! Gigiddy gigiddy goo!!!
  18. If someone were to make them, We would be buying them!!!
  19. what does a VF-0C look like?? Never heard of that variant before?
  20. I completely agree with DANTH, The tails can easily fit inside, and the pictures here confirm that. Don't get cheap on us Yamato, as your prices are Not. And for the arms, just use Aluminum or Diecast. To many issues with Plastics. For the tails on the legs, there is no reason why with newer technologies they (Yamato) can not make it work properly!!!
  21. Sounds like we are getting closer to some type of release date or at lease a sneak peek....hint, hint!! When you actually get one Graham, let us know what ya think of it!!! I'm saving up in my piggy bank for this one!!!
