Yep. Tell me about it. I have mostly everything you listed on pre-order. The space under my Christmas tree will be pretty impressive. Taking about christmas presents, these will be the best presents for the year 2003! Unfortunately they are all for me, noone is getting any presents from this year. Cheers

For the love of it. Some collect cars, clothes, watches, and even women! Bascially even if we dun indulge ourselves in toys, we would splurge our money on something else. At the end of the day, i feel looking at my toys, playing with it helps me to unwind from a day at work. Cheers

How many will S I T H L O R D get this time i wonder? Cheers

The greed never ends, with Macross toys is a bottomless pit.

Is Graham going to do a review on it? Cos this is one of hif favourite 1/48s. Cheers A picture of how the valk looks like on the inside, sorry for the big pictures.

I agree, simplicity is the best. Cheers

Not too sure Gobotfool, the VF-1S and VF-1A reissues are supposed to be scheduled for a November release, maybe you will get to see them before the release of 1/48 VF-1J. Boy the following two months are going to be expensive. VF-1S hikaru, VF-1S Roy, VF-1J, Masterpiece Optimus Prime, BT-02 SideSweep. Guess how much its gonna to cost me? Beats me but my wallet is crying. Cheers

Hiya guys, For me, i will get two sets of the 1/48 VF-1S hikaru. Why? cos i always love the VF-1S Strike both Roy and Hikaru versions, sad to say i missed out on the bandai VF-1S strike when i was a kid, so i aint gonna to miss out on this one. Had one on pre-order from our friendly neighbourhood retailer and friend, Noel. Maybe will purchase another from him if there is any left after others get theirs. Cheers

One Big Problem with mine....is that i havent received mine yet, shucks!! Whats taking the 2nd consignment to arrive to singapore? The retailers sure screwed up by missing the first consignment! Lets pray that this time that there would be no problems and at a reasonable price. Cheers

Nods nods, yes cos they are the only ones who pays attention to us macross lovers, hope there wun be any QC problems with the 1/48 VF-1J release or 1/60 GPB release in the future. Boy hefty months in november and december for my wallet and credit card, 1/48 VF-1S Roy, 1/48 VF-1S Hikaru, 1/48 Fps and 1/48 VF-1J Cheers

Maybe we will see a 1/48 GPB for the VF-1J or VF-1S in the future provided the 1/60 GPB VF-1J sales are good enough for yamato to warrant a GPB design for the 1/48 series. Anyways i will be getting the 1/60 GPB for sure. Cheers

I don't think it says it is a GBP armor for the 1/48 but rather for the 1/60 my friend... Yes i know Montarvillios, excitement got the better of me when i saw the VF-1J clad in GPB armor, but turned to disappointment when saw the small print beside it stating 1/60. <_< Cheers

Hey graham, you are still sober after all that alcohol? Anyways thanks for the awesome pictures!!! Im contemplating wether to get the VF-1J by itself or the VF-1J with Fps cos ultimately im waiting for yamato to do a 1/48 GPB for this baby. Guys your opinions please? Cheers

Holy crap 1 VF-1 2NV, awesome shelves love the shelves especially with the built in mirrors? are those shelves customed made or readily available for purchase? Cheers

Will someone kindly to a pdf format of WMcheng buildup to act as referance for us modellers as well as a momentum for WMC? Im sure it will be very much appreciated. Thanks Cheers

Drugs suck big time, i feel for you man even i dun know you well personally. God speed and God bless ya, hope things work out for you. Cheers

Awesome work from the master himself!!!

Have a bad feeling that the 1/48 GPB armor, if yamato were to produce one, would not be issued as a addon like the Fps but like the 1/60 scale bundled together with the 1/48 VF-1J. Really dunch know wether to get the 1/48 VF-1J. Cheers

And finally a Yamato figures vending machine, nice to keep your 1/60 and 1/72s....provided the boxes could fit in and figurines.

1/48 VF-1S Hikaru in the background next to the 1/1 DYRL helmets. Boy i wish i could afford the helmets.

Better pictures of the upcoming 1/48 VF-1J

Hi Toonz, Very beautiful and nice designs. Would you consider a gerwalk in place of the GPB or a VF-1S Strike in battroid mode? My suggestion is that the front of the Polo Tshirt or Round neck Tshirt having a small UNSpacy Logo or a Skull Logo should be accompanied by a MacrossWorld Shopathon 2004 wording in white, followed by the main design on the back, i guess thats the way most T shirts are designed like Ripcurl Billabong and Quiksilver, Stussy and so on. Guys whats your view on this? Do suggest. Any ways great job Toonz Cheers

Nice pictures KiraYamato, cool mods on the missile packs. Any more pictures, what about VF-1S Roy or VF-1A Hikaru? You havent received your 1/48 Fps, may i presume you are a singaporean? Cheers

Hi there, Sad to say i havent received any birthday or christmas gifts for years. Usually i splurge on toys or models based on the amount i set aside each month, while the rest goes to savings and daily transportation and food expenses. My parents always give me the puzzled look asking "At this age you shouldnt be wasting money on toys but save for the future" I told them "This is what i always wanted since young but was then unable to afford, so please let me indulge in my hobbies abit" Im lucky and fortunate to have met my current fiancee living in Hong Kong, she shares my passions and interests, above all we are very much in love! She always gets me Macross toys on my birthdays, valentine's day and christmas, but i always go with her while in Hong Kong to choose the toy as she doesnt possess the knowledge or experience to check the toys for quality issues. So am i lucky? You bet i am, having both my first loves, toys and soon wife to be. Cheers

I agree with ya on this, its bascially a shoulder plate molded in white with a GPB shoulder attachment covering the existing shoulders. If Yamato didint did such a modfication, the shoulder armor wouldnt be able to fit in given that the GPB chest plate armor would interfere with the attachment of the shoulder armor. It may not be an exact replica true to the TV series but nevertheless we have 1/60 GPB thats 100 times better than what Bandai has conjured up. There be other modfications we havent seen to the others parts of the GPB armor so that it fits the 1/60, till then lets for Graham's review. This maybe the modification we will see if this concept were to be inplemented on the 1/48 VF-1J. One thing bugs me though is how skinny the 1/48s arms will be in comparision to the humongous GPB armor. Cheers B)
