Well, I know you are upset for paying a huge amount for the low vis. Me? I may be paid top dollar for 2 of my LVs. Then again I got 2 of them for $90 ack on ebay. I am sure I evened out. Still you have to remember this LV is a different scheme. So you do not have to worry about losing the original scheme. And yes, I would like to see a VF-4 and better yet a YF-19 FP. VF-11 doesnt appeal to me. Well coming from someone who owns 94 (!!) valks I can totally see where you are coming from. But "think of the children" who do have a specific type in mind and are at the mercy of those evil ebay sellers who will boost the price of an already expensive toy knowing some types are in high demand due to being harder to find. I think in the long run it can only mean good things for fans whether you are new and starting out, or as a person waiting for more different releases. (I personally want them to start some mac plus valks - the yf 19 has got to be a popular mech) Seriously though: one of these days you have got to take each and every one of those valks out, transform them into battoid mode for us all to see them, and pose them in a strategic formation as if they were about to march off to fight an army of zentradi, then take a picture of the battle. I would like to see a rows of battroid all ready for combat, similar to what you see in the tv series when the destroid are all lined up shoulder to shoulder in preparation for the deadalus manuever before they are about to fire everything. I just got an idea: I think all LE should be packaged in battroid mode for dramatic effect. I think having the box sitting up tall like the Qrau might make people think it was that much more special. I don't know why but I have always been more a fan of seeing mecha in thier robot form than thier vehicle form. Probably because I like to put them in dramatic poses and stuff. The other advantage of packaging it that way is the head turret will stand out more so it doesn't look so samey. 366284[/snapback] Hey I'm not complaining about the new releases specifically. I'm over collecting the current released cannon valks. Just the low vis that I'm not happy about as I paid through the nose for them. Usually when you stamp something with the words LE that's it. "Children of the future" eh? What are you listening to Whitney Houston? It's great that Yamato have released the Roy's again. And the VF-J Hikaru (well sorta, I was kinda hoping for the Super version ). I would want the toy to get out as much as possible. I'm a collector not an investor, otherwise I'd have made the move to sell out long ago. I had plenty of opportunites, LV drought, FAST Packs shortage, Max VF-1A...the list goes on. It just kinda makes my Low Vis feel less special now. I'm sure people like Godzilla would agree. But the point is moot as it should be a different version of the LV anyway. Even if Yamato is intent on making it different from the original, that is still pushing it a bit. Release it all you want, but not if you stamp it with limited edition. If Yamato is intent on milking this mod then I'd wish they'd move on to other paint schemes. I mean more like cannon ones. But the stealth one is quite cool. To tell the truth, I am 1/48ed out. I want something else. 366283[/snapback] 1/48'd out? BLASPHEMY! J/K. I am always wanting more. After getting the Macross PLus This is Animiation book, I saw a lot of cool VF-1 schemes. I like the Camo one from the UNS Air Force. I would like to see that on the 1/48s. What I really want is the two seaters. Come on Yamato... <Larry The Cable Guy>GIT R DUN!</Larry The Cable Guy> If they released those, I know I will get 4 each at a minimum. 366326[/snapback] Same here. But you gotta admit, you really wnat something new too. VF-4, VF-9, VF-11, VF-14 and VF-17 etc.... 366591[/snapback]

YES!!!!!!!!!! Frankly, I am hoping for a low Vis VF-1S. Funny they didnt say it is LE. Just when I was going to slow down the collection, Yamato wants to turn it up a notch. Oh well. I cant find my wallet now. It ran away when I said "Another low vis and a new stealth variant... cool, how many do I want this time...".

It cant transform into the tank mode? Well aint that worthless. I just got mine from VK...

You never cease to amaze me. Good job. I like the scheme.

A 6th release of Roy? I think I am skipping out on these. I mean, sheesh I have enough Roys to choke and I was planning to buy 2 of the 4th release to put it in my collection but now... Then again, I can attain my goal of 100 1/48s... I have already 22 FPs of DYRL and 6 FPs from Hikaru VF-1J series.

You rule. I will definitely be making some orders.

I have to agree with you. The proportions are a closer match to TV. But we all know how certain anime magic is involved.

Well, I need to see what the schedule looks like... but I like to be down for that. How about hotel arrangements?

I find this show disturbing...

Well producers are morons. What they need to do is purge them. Frankly, I dont understand why they cannot thinkup their own ideas rather than copying them. Now if a show or anime inspires them, then fine by me but why copy. Last movie I saw was SW Episode 3 b/c nothing really grab my interest. Look at Aeon Flux and now BloodRayne. I am really hoping for the HALO movie to be good.

Well, I might as well put in my $0.02: 1/48 Elintseeker 1/48 Super Ostrich 1/48 VF-1D 1/48 Enemy Mechs - NGer, Glaug, and all 4 Regults at the minimum 1/60 or 1/48 Destroids (maybe 1/60 Monster since a 1/48 would be huge.) 1/3000 SDF-1 1/48 or 1/60 VF-4 1/72 YF-19 FP (yeah, yeah. We are all wishing for that) SV-51

Good god. Over $100 for the Max Chase CMs?!?! CMs Chase Max

OMG NOT WORK APPROPRIATE!! 362316[/snapback] Yeah. More warning on that will ya?

I want to say to Kevin, it has been a great run for the store. I thank him for prolly half my macross goodies from him. I really dont think it is the nail to the coffin IMHO. Things changes and there are different priorities... And we have to adapt. So with that, good luck to Kevin and his family. The site is still there and with it offering news and tidbits.

I have to agree with p@. I like the lions having their own individual weapons. I have my nice korean one MIB. THe thing is that it isnt chrome but gold color.

Use to be: -Manufacture Industrial Engineer for the Boeing Company -Microsoft Bitch err contractor -QA Engineer for dot bomb. -QA/Tech Support for a small software engineering firm. Now: QA Lead Engineer for a company that does contracts for Autodesk. Wait till you guys see ACAD 2007.

hahah.. i hope you're not wishing that a cute girl is going to come up to you and say "wow. your massive Macross collection is sooo hooott... what's your name?" cuz that's pretty sad. 361491[/snapback] Well, I have neither 88 valks nor a 350Z... so I'm jealous of both of you mofos . To put things in perspective, most of my money goes to my mortgage and my 2 kids (2 months and 2.5 yrs). 361576[/snapback] Well Ia mtrying to get a house... or a townhome.

I have to admit Phantasm was the worse. I liked Virgin Road. Global's report was just a damn rehash but still wasnt bad.

Maybe it is a good thing I am passing on this. This new version is not worth it unless my Animego ones go boom!

No comment.

If you look at my siggy, you know where all my money is going. Truth be told, I some of my money is going into other things. Yes a LARGE PORTION goes to Macross. Not in any particular order. 1. Savings. Need to buy a house soon. 2. HALO figures. 3. Xbox/GameCube/PC games and hardware. 4. Girlfriend. 5. Just recently Diecast Postage Stamp aircraft. 6. Transformers Takara reissues. 7. DVDs 8. Furniture 9. Robotech enemy Mecha. I use to collect the 1/18 BBI stuff, GIJOEs, Comics, and SW figures. But those are done.

Yeah, you are prolly right about that.

Seeming to Shanghai is also this kind of circumstance to female Macross fans ~~~ May be the robot anime , the girls like don't all~~ 360628[/snapback] Realy now? That is great. Now I need to find some of these female fans in Shanghai when I go. Too bad I dont speak Mandarin. I barely understand Cantonese. Think the women in Shanghai like my huge collection?

twin moons is a pretty good place to get Macross stuff.
