Myersjessee Posted March 1, 2005 Posted March 1, 2005 Sorry, I assume this must be old news...but Yamato was at the NY toy fair under Yamato USA??!?! Anyone else know more about this? US releases? Check the link at the bottom LINK Quote
Mechamaniac Posted March 1, 2005 Posted March 1, 2005 Yeah, I noticed this last week, and was going to bring it up, but I figured surely everyone had seen it before. Looks like Yamato has gone Global!. Quote
Graham Posted March 1, 2005 Posted March 1, 2005 Old, old news. They changed the name of Toycom to Yamato USA like 1-2 years ago IIRC. Graham Quote

Mechamaniac Posted March 1, 2005 Posted March 1, 2005 at least they have BGC & Votoms but why no MZ23? I don't know since I can't read Kanji, but do they list Megazone 23 on the Japanese side of their site?. And, this is what I meant by Yamato going global. http://www.yamato-toys.com Their site used to be yamato-toys.co.jp, which now has a redirect to the new Yamato-Toys.Com. Quote

They also changed from the .co.jp URL to the .com URL at least a year ago as well. Common guys, get with the program here Graham Quote
Myersjessee Posted March 1, 2005 Author Posted March 1, 2005 My bad I guess...no time to remember all the things I should know! Thanks Graham. Quote

I was googling and I got sent to that site for some other toys. I was hoping for info on the 1/48s, and I was like what tha?! Quote
Pat Payne Posted March 1, 2005 Posted March 1, 2005 Why would "Yamato Far East" include Europe? Quote
Nightbat Posted March 1, 2005 Posted March 1, 2005 Why would "Yamato Far East" include Europe? 'Cause you 'mericans and brits are weird Quote
Hurin Posted March 1, 2005 Posted March 1, 2005 I vaguely remembered the Toycom switch to Yamato USA. But I had a reminder when I was in a comic book store for the first time in about a year on Sunday. . . and I saw this incredible sculpted batman statue/figure. It was definitey an American toy. . . but it had "Yamato" on the back. H Quote
EXO Posted March 1, 2005 Posted March 1, 2005 Yeah, they're the ones that released those crappy Appleseed toys... Why Appleseed? I'm bound never to get a perfect Appleseed product! Quote
Godzilla Posted March 1, 2005 Posted March 1, 2005 I doubt the misses would be cool with ths one. Gee, I wonder why... Quote
Guppy Posted March 1, 2005 Posted March 1, 2005 seeing that this is the 'slow' topic I'll ask my slow question. Why is the US release of yamato's scopedog going to be so much cheaper? Is it simply a greater production number? Quote
Opus Posted March 1, 2005 Posted March 1, 2005 seeing that this is the 'slow' topic I'll ask my slow question. Why is the US release of yamato's scopedog going to be so much cheaper? Is it simply a greater production number? I think it's simply that Japanese fans will pay more so they charge more. Quote
