Godzilla

Well I use to be a robotech fan which is why I bought all the boxsets. Still it has some sentimental value. I havent watched all of them but I have been watching the remastered Macross and Mospeada series. Storylines are much better. Looking back, Robotech was lame. But still I grew up on it. I am somewhat a fan, I am hacked and refused to buy the remastered ones. Then again, I got suckered in the MPCs. Only until I got my first 1/48 which was the low vis that I said WTF am I buying the MPCs??? Too late. I just finished the collection and bought the super armor except the Jack VF-1R. As the saying goes, Shame on you for the 1st, shame on me for the 2nd time. There will not be a second time which is why I skipped Jack.

Ok, I am not making it clear here. I know what you are saying about the detail relative to scale. There isnt any relation. But I was just comparing the 1/60 to 1/48 valks ONLY. Look at the landing gears of the Valks on each scale. 1/60 does not have the catapult attachment unlike the 1/48. The back two landing gear door configuration of the 1/48 is correct than the 1/60. You have the kneecap on the 1/48 where the 1/60 does not. Also, the 1/48 gunpod actually fits in fighter mode where it doesn't lift the fighter off its front landing gear like the 1/60 does. It is those type of details I am talking about. I am sure that the upcoming 1/60 Q-rau is well detailed. Yes I know any toy can have any detail. It depends on the manufacturer. The fact still remains: The 1/48 is better than the 1/60 since it has all the details in the Macross series.

Yuck! LSU colors just doesnt work on the VF-1A

Looks like 1/60 will be the "one" scale. Which I'm happy bout. 1/72 could be another alternative. Don't remember what the speculation said about the Zero toys, but hopefully 1/60. 1/72 wouldn't break my heart, either. But looks like 1/60 for VF-1. Next enemy (Q-rau) at 1/60. And hopefully 1/60 M+ (and VF-X2) to follow. EDIT: Oh yeah, whatever did happen to all those pics from the avatar? There was the one that someone was using as a Max avatar and there was the Milia one where the custom title was something like "natural green" or something along those lines. Are the old pages ever going back up (or have they done so and I missed it?)? Or has someone saved those on their comp? PM me, if so. Well, I can live with the 1/60 scales I guess. Just that when I compared the 1/60 valks vs the 1/48, the detail was much better for the latter. Then again, if the put out a 1/60 vf-4, I shouldnt complain because I really want it.

Looks good. Nice job there.

hahahaha.

So are we to assume that the 1/48 scales will just stick with the vf-1 series and that will be that? Since speculation puts that their will be no enemy mecha at all for that scale? BTW, I like you avatar KingNor.

Hey Kingnor, where did you get that avatar? Is that Misa posing? Looks like she is posing for playboy.

haven´t we disscused this already ? And when you say ¨nothing beats the 1/48 detail-wise¨you fail to comprehend that the scale itself is relative to the original size of the object , indeed , if you compare the two VF-1 lines you can see the radical difference in quality and detail yet when you compare the Q-rau which stands TALLER than a 1/48 VF-1 your assumption has no real relevance since the Q-rau in fact should be as detailed or even more detailed than a 1/48 VF-1 even though the Q-rau is in a different scale , why? cause at the end the Q-rau is still taller than the 1/48 VF-1 hence it allows for more detail regardless of any scale. Regarding the context of your post , I don´t think Yamato will make enemy mechas in 1/48 , I pressume Yamato has put a lot of investement in the new toys such as the Q-rau for them to foolishly release another one which by all mean will be too big as a collection toy to be worth producing. Though , it all depends on the consumer market which is targeted , in this case if they ever plan on releasing such incredibly HUGE toys it would have to be very limited edition releases such as the 1/60 Monster or 1/1 DYRL Helmet. I know that the 1/60 Q-Rau is bigger than the VF-1 1/48 but it just seems wierd. Maybe I will get it. I dunno. What really gets me mad is that they make something better later i.e. VF-1. I got the 1/60 scale I was so happy to get my 1st real valk only to see that they made a1/48 nearly a year later. My stand point is why waste money on the 1/60. Sure pay $20-30 more and get a bigger yammie with really nice detail. And now I can buy 1/60 yammie for half its retail price... grrrrr Now as for the detail: Yes I am sure the detail will be great. Frankly I am not a big DRYL fan. I like the TV series because I grew up on the Rowbowtek. Only did I see the light when I saw the actual macross series. The storyline is much better though I have not finished watching it on DVD. Now I dont care for the colors of the Q-Rau in DRYL but I see why Yamato is gonna milk this for all its worth. It would be stupid not to from the marketing standpoint. Anyways, I am stickler for scale sizes. Makes great dioramas but I will have to see. I know the pilots aint gonna fit well against the 1/48 Valks. Or I assume so.

... Dunno if it has been asked... My 1/48 yammies look awfully lonely. Now I know that the battlepods and q rau will be huge if they do make it. It is that I dunno what else 1/48 stuff that Yamato will make. 1/60 is great and all but nothing beats the 1/48 in detail wise. Of course if the Monster comes out in 1/48, I will need park my car outside the garage and get a loan. Then again, I will not complain about the VF-4 1/48 yammie. I will gladly pay for it...

For Hikaru VF-1S, go with strike. Roy is good for both.

Everytime I look at the VF-4, I am just praying to the Gods that Yamato will make a 1/48 VF-4.

So I am hearing that the armour 1:48 suck then. Ok, I dont think I will buy them. I know they cost like $79 before Franklin bought them.

First movie isnt crap. It wasnt bad. I am hoping the second movie isnt crap though. You kno the sequel crap syndrome.

Here is what I buy in the order from most to least: 1. Toys 2. DVDs 3. Books/comics.

Has anybought the Armour military aircraft 1/48 F-14 and compared them to the 1/48 Yamato Valks?

Speculation on my part as well (as I am sure on most here on this board) but looking at the covers MP-1 is Optimus Prime. Are we to assume there will more? If so, I know my wallet will throw up on me... 1/48 Yammies, takara releases, and now this? Not that I should complain but I better start hoping for a bigger raise.

Just wondering if it is any good before I decide to buy it.

you and about 45-100 other members on this here forums... Damn straight.

The hell with Hasbro. I like the takara stuff all together. Why do you think I buy their G1 re-issues? I have 3 Takara Primes. Hasbro wants to neuter the stacks, let them. Why? Because I am not buying them. I am satisfied with what I have. Of I course I have 3 of them.

Welcome aboard. You will see that you will be addicted to site as well.

Hey, this is what this guy from Ebay is saying that there is a difference between the Takara and Hasbro but I thought that was not true that the stacks would not be neutered. Ebay

It has to be the 1/60 monster.

I bought 2 from toynk and they arrived last night. Of course I preordered for $88 each! And that was cheap when I was looking around.

Well, I live in Seattle. I got back from San Fran on Monday night and boy it was cold. It snowed that night into morning and all afternoon on Tues. I didnt leave the house and I was eating can food and freezer food. Then on Wed morning, it was all ice and no power. Digged my way out as the ice started to melt so I can goto work. Went to work late and got home late knowing power was still out. Waited for a fast food joint called skippers. After 30 minutes of my order did it finally arrived. Came home really hacked. Then I see the package sitting on my front door... low and behold it was my 2 MP Primes I ordered. Boy I cannot believe how one thing just makes my day. The third MP Prime one and my 2 FPs should be in from Twin moons.
