Kind of like the yellow from that picture. The Rifleman..uhm..Defender looks a bit more dark and dirty than some of the other pics (so hopefully it is just camera flash making it look lighter in color than it actually is). Assuming I finally get my Warhammer..uhm..Tomohawk (Please ship already!) and I like it I'll get this one too. Now I just hope that there is an Archer..uhm..Spartan and a Marauder..uhm..Glaug coming out soon as well. It would also be awesome if they brought out a 1/60 Reguld. Damn can anybody tell that I want to dust off my old Battletech stuff and start playing again?

I always thought it was I kind of brown like the tomo but maybe I am wrong. I would love to see the Rifleman/Defender in black though but maybe that is just the battletech nerd in me. Looks cool though even in yellow. Now I just have to get the Spartan. Did anybody ever find any pics on that one?

2 Things: I didn't know it came with a built in light which is soo freak'in awesome I can't wait for mine to finally ship. Secondly. I am totally jealous/hate the bastard who could afford 3 of them!

Cool. I think I am going to be glad I decided to keep my pre-order. Now I just have to suffer waiting for it to ship......man this sucks.

Ohhhhhhh myyyy gooooooooodddddddd! Just kidding. Cool picks! Wish it had some more ground crew, especially for the price. Ah who am I kidding all I am going to do with those little figs is figure up interesting ways to show them being crushed!

Screw it I am getting both! If the weathered is that much better I just sell the other on ebay. I can't wait anymore.

I am going to wait then. Weathering just makes it look that much cooler.

That looks weathered to me.

Well it's September. Anyone know (roughly) what day Tomahawk is releasing on? I had one on preorder but had a wallet crunch because I picked up some flexi stands and a Sony PRS-505 digital book (which is the cat's ass by the way!) and now I am officially back on Ichiban for awhile. If the Tomahawk does not come out till the end of the month I might be able to get enough scratch together.

After watching ep 22 last night that would so be yes. And I want it in Alto colors with the fast packs. Like Graham said we probably won't see a 1/60 version though, which sucks as I am looking at getting all the Macross line in 1/60 only (except for the SDF-1 of course).

If I knew the J was coming out I think I might of held off on buying the S. I like the head design so much better on the J. I think I will have to hold out hope they bring out a head pack:) That or I have to decide between the J or the Tomohawk......ack so hard to choose!

Is it me or does it look like there is weathering on the the 1/48 D in those pics? If any Valk of the 1/60 Valks came out with I weathered scheme I would so buy it. Weathering just makes it look better as far as I am concerned. Oh and because I can't help myself...pic.

Ah you noticed that was from an office. A guy 4 cubilcles away from me has starwars stuff displayed in his office so nobody says anything except the shop guys. I check'em if they do so they've learned. The only person who is really interested in them is the resident old fart who is a WWII plane fanatic (he thinks the P-47 is the greatest plane ever made). He is also into Starwars. He looks at them everytime he goes buy and sometimes comments that the wings are too small and they will never fly and I gust laugh and shake my head. Pics are ok. I took them with my KAZR so they could be way better. Here is another one just for S&G.

Finally got my 1/60 Scale VF-1S Roy Focker with the super packs and I love it! Hands down the best in initial product quality (from my limited experience). I love the way that it feels so solid in my hands. My only grip is the bloody hip bar (and from this thread apparently I am not the only one). Got a feeling that one of these days I might break it but considering I will only probably have this Valk in Fighter and Gerwalk mode it's fine. It looks so awesome in those modes! My only grip is now I am going to have buy the VF-1J now too. There goes that Tomohawk I was going to purchase.... Quick question as well. How does the cockpit/nose come off? Can't figure out how it goes and if I buy a VF-1A or J I want Hikaru saving Roy this time! Included a couple of pics. One has my new valk and the other I included for fun. Now I only need the 1/60 from Frontier and I can hopefully stop for awhile......who am I kidding!

Maybe a poll should be added to this thread. Are you a Battletech fan and are you going to buy the Tomahawk because it? If it is as detailed as the adds for it look I think I will leave it stock. Although a black and weathered Warhammer would be cool. Does anyone remember where the Black Widow symbol went on the mech?

Already put my preorder in for a set of the 2.5, 4 & 6. Doesn't ship until October 31st through. Oh and awesome paint job by the way. Please post more pics.

Thanks! Checked both sites and the differences in shipping to me make them about the same. The Tomahawk works out about the same (from Tisinc to the others) as shipping to Saskatchewan is about $30-40 for both the sites that you mentioned. I will try them though as my last order with Tisinc did not work out so well.

Don't tempt me sir! Seriously i did not know that, just ignorant of me I guess figuring that all went the way of the dodo when FASA pretty much died. I will think about looking into but I think my modeling days are behind me. I have a 1/60 Leopard II tank that I trying to turn to Canadian specs for like 2 years now. Just don't have the initiative to do it anymore I guess.

Doh! Right there and I missed it. Thanks!

I still kick myself today that I didn't by those large 1/60 models when I was a kid but I hadn't discovered the potential of purchasing things on the internet back then. Man when I think of all the time I spent buying and painting battletech figs. ............and then when I went away to school my mum dumped them into a pail like a bunch of GIJoes. Anyway back on topic I am so buying the Warhammer sorry I mean Tommahawk as soon as I recover from my YF-19 purchase! Well maybe after I purchase that 1/60 VF-1S that just came out. Oh God and I thought my addiction to purchasing books on Amazon was expensive!

Sorry wrote this at 4 in the morning. Can't believe I did that!

As soon as I saw the Warhammer aka Tommahawk all I could think was I HAVE TO HAVE THAT. Now all i need is an 1/60 Archer, Griphen, Shadow Hawk, Marauder, Wasp, Rifleman, & Pheonix Hawk (oh right I have this one too!) and I could play battle tech in the backyard. This also made me pull out my much warn and much loved 3050 and 3055 Tech manuals (before Harmnoy Gold made FASA butcher them). Ah PPCs, LRMs, SRMs, Med Laser, AutoCannon, Gauss Rifles, XL Engines, Endo Skeleton, Ferro Fibrous armor.............. Whoa I just flashed back to when I was 14!

That would be awesome if they did bring out a YF-0D I thought it looked the best out of all the Zero Valks. I purchased a YF-0S in February from Tisinc99.com and no problems with the order or the toy, although I don't transform it too much. Usually have it on display on a stand in my office. I just purchased a YF-19 and stand from Tisinc99.com and all I received was the stand. I phoned him back and he immediately sent out the YF-19. So I had one good experience with him (ordering through amazon market place) and one bad (ordering direct). I will give him credit that once I did get a hold of him on the phone they apologized and said they would send it the next day. Hope to get it this week. Will post back once I get it hopefully. Note that the first time I phoned him it was not during business hours and I got a weird answering service (which immediately made me think I was screwed). But I got a hold of him fine during business hours (Calf.) so maybe it was just a bad answering system. Also I had sent him an email before and they said that they had sent one back to me but I never received it. I did receive to confirmation emails after he sent the toy again (hopefully minus the stand I did receive).

Hi: Kind of new to the thread but I have been reading it for a while. I finally broke down last year and started buying the 1/48 to 1/72 toys. So far I have: YF-0S that I bought off of amazon.com (for about $150 Can plus shipping) YF-19 and display stand that I bought from tisinc99 (for about $210 Can plus shipping) Does anyone recommend any other internet sites that I could use or where there are usually good sales? I live in Saskatchewan Canada so my options are usually limited (aka internet only for my anime, manga and scifi novel hobby). I really want to pre order the new MBR-04-Mk.VI Destroid Tomahawk ($113US on tisinc99) and VF-1S Super Valkyrie 1/60 ($149.99 on tisinc99). Just want to know what are the good and trustworthy places to go. Also trying to find a deal if I can. Also does anyone know of any sites selling and presales on the Macross Frontier toys? Thanks.
