valkyrietestpilot Posted August 8, 2004 Posted August 8, 2004 i haven't seen it personally,but everybody who went to hg's panel at otakon & saw the new mpc alpha told me that it sucks.not worth picking up Quote
dr_vandermeer Posted August 8, 2004 Posted August 8, 2004 i haven't seen it personally,but everybody who went to hg's panel at otakon & saw the new mpc alpha told me that it sucks.not worth picking up Did they say it sucked because it's small, sucked because of price, or sucked because of quality? Because the Alpha we saw at MacrossWorld Con 4 I thought was pretty nice quality-wise. Everything else like price point and size is debatable IMO. Quote
Hurricane29 Posted August 8, 2004 Posted August 8, 2004 I sent Tisinc a message asking if it was in hand, so far no response. Quote
Skull Leader Posted August 8, 2004 Posted August 8, 2004 he who complains of thirst shall be cursed with 40 days and nights of rain. If there's more news involved, I'll take my chances with the rain! Quote
EXO Posted August 8, 2004 Posted August 8, 2004 I sent Tisinc a message asking if it was in hand, so far no response. They don't have it, if they did it would be at their F&S booth. Most likely they are sending out letters of apologies to their bidders for the delay. Quote
CID Posted August 8, 2004 Posted August 8, 2004 I sent Tisinc a message asking if it was in hand, so far no response. TISINC do not have MPC Alpha. If they had it in stock, other sellers more close to Toynami office will be selling it also. They are taking a gamble that the Alpha will be released next week. If the Alpha does get release, they have no probelm and made few sales before others. If it doen't get release on time, they are going to get few angry buyers. Oh well, what is three or four additional negative or neutral feedback on there impressive ebay feedback . Unless, you can stop at their F&S store in person or have someone do you a favor, I would avoid buying from this seller on ebay (Just my opinion). There are many reputable sellers on this board and other that are more trustyworthy. Quote
Die, Alien Scum! Posted August 8, 2004 Posted August 8, 2004 I pre-ordered mine from Toyzz4U. I asked them yesterday and was told that Toynami has pushed the release to mid-August. What a shock, Toynami pushing back a release date! Unheard of! Quote
LtStick Posted August 8, 2004 Posted August 8, 2004 I talked to Tam from Twin Moons last night and the impression I got was the middle of this week they would arrive. As for quality I heard it was pretty good. The size is definetly small for the price tag but if Toynami does the Beta then it would make sence. but I guess until the dealers start announcing they have recieved there stock and are shipping orders its a waiting game. Quote
Mechafan Posted August 8, 2004 Posted August 8, 2004 I went to Otakon and that the Alpha was pretty good. Maybe not $80 dollars good but better that bootleg quality. I did not see too many people gather around it. I took pictures of it and need to get them developed. Tom did let me hold it for a little while. Too bad I did not win the one they had. I Could have made a review already. I would say it is better than the VF-1 MPC's. Quote
Weaseldancer Posted August 8, 2004 Posted August 8, 2004 As long as the alpha can link to the beta, I can live with the small size and price tag. If not, well....I will be pretty irritated. Quote
ComicKaze Posted August 8, 2004 Posted August 8, 2004 (edited) How about the faux-YF-19 proto again? Nope, Graham would kill me. Edited August 8, 2004 by ComicKaze Quote
Impreszive Posted August 9, 2004 Posted August 9, 2004 Unfortunately there just isn't too much going on in the Macross world right now. Good pun. unless Yamato makes some big news or something.....or another series.....who knows. Quote
Impreszive Posted August 9, 2004 Posted August 9, 2004 (edited) stupid PC double posted....piece of trash... Edited August 9, 2004 by Impreszive Quote
Mechafan Posted August 9, 2004 Posted August 9, 2004 Some news on the YF-19 would help. I hope they have not abandon the project. I see other stuff comming from Yamato but no YF-19. Quote
valkyrietestpilot Posted August 9, 2004 Posted August 9, 2004 dr vandermeer,the guy i talked too,just refered to the alpha as being not worth the $80 price tag quality-wise.he seemed to be very disapointed in seeing the finished product after all the hype.i've always thought southerncross hardware was ugly,so i'm not interested at all.the cyclones are ok,but i sure wouldn't shell out hundreds of dollars for 1.i never tire of vf-1's.there's so many nice 1's from yamato lately.

goldenboy_forever Posted August 9, 2004 Posted August 9, 2004 I don't mind the dry spell actually people should enjoy it while thay can becauie it give us a chance to catch up on the collection. From Rich Quote

Zentrandude Posted August 9, 2004 Posted August 9, 2004 dry spell here cuz yamato is busy making me the 1:24 vf-1 S all made with milled titanium peices and crystal lens at all the parts with mini jet engines from a rc jet to complete the looks. Quote
Guppy Posted August 9, 2004 Posted August 9, 2004 It really IS a dry spell when a thread lamenting no new information gets to two pages this quickly! At this rate with no new yamato macross toys to spend money on, I'll be forced to do something grown-up with my money, like take out a mortgage! Quote
valkyrietestpilot Posted August 9, 2004 Posted August 9, 2004 for the love of pete man,don't do something grown up with your money.that's just wrong.mortgages are headaches.crash on your friends couch & buy more toys Quote
Angel's Fury Posted August 9, 2004 Posted August 9, 2004 Some news on the YF-19 would help. I hope they have not abandon the project. I see other stuff comming from Yamato but no YF-19. I'm with you on that. Quote
Godzilla Posted August 10, 2004 Posted August 10, 2004 Ugh. I am glad for a dry spell. I was doing good this month, till some fools decided to sell their destroids, patlabor, VF-19, Legioss, and 1:18 f-18. Then I bought the Robotech bookend. And now I have the MPC Alpha coming I preordered. It is my hope there will be a beta/tread for the MPC alpha. Quote

And now I have the MPC Alpha coming I preordered. It is my hope there will be a beta/tread for the MPC alpha. That's the only reason I ordered a toycrapi MPChit. My alpha tread combo will be posed elegantly on 2 of sithlord's stands Woe to any 2 yr old child/evil pet that gets anywhere near it Guess this thread will end now that the monster is up for preorder on HLJ Quote
Godzilla Posted August 11, 2004 Posted August 11, 2004 Yeah but didnt Yamato say the YF-19FP were coming too? Quote

EXO Posted August 14, 2004 Posted August 14, 2004 it's so top secret that even they don't know about it. Quote
