Golden Arms Posted August 21, 2003 Posted August 21, 2003 Great, Late as usual. Everyone chant with me GBP, GBP, GBP Quote
Lightning Posted August 21, 2003 Posted August 21, 2003 GOD AM I LATE TO THE PARTY!!! (again) and here i was wanting to be the first one to ask about a VF-4... well G, where da answers?? (or the little smile with a "no comment"?) Quote
Bob_Coffee Posted August 21, 2003 Posted August 21, 2003 Just a few questions id like to toss in Ichiban #1 question: will yamato,bless us in the US(as in domestic valk realises) with macross toys in the near future? Question #2: Macross 7 mecha, When will we see the VF-17,22S,and full armored 11 not to mention varuta mecha goodness? Question #3: Hikaru VF-1S, when,with strike fasts packs? id love to see this one come with a special display stand so one could recreate the dramatic pose from the end of dyrl. Question #4: VF-4 Lightning III, When and please yamato make this happen ;.; Question # 5. last but not least, how are the macross 0 toys coming along,and Please let there be a VF-0D. Thats my three cents. Quote
David Hingtgen Posted August 21, 2003 Posted August 21, 2003 I'll second (third?) the notion for a D'Stance style YF-21. Check out the shoulder (of the battroid) in fighter mode--WAY better than Yamato's. They actually have flaps/hinges etc--Yamato just has a rubber shoulderpad. Quote
Myersjessee Posted August 21, 2003 Posted August 21, 2003 Darn it...couldnt post yet...I was wondering about the chances for Regults and Glaugs..sigh Quote
Smut Peddler Posted August 21, 2003 Posted August 21, 2003 Darn it...couldnt post yet...I was wondering about the chances for Regults and Glaugs..sigh What he said ... Quote
Effect Posted August 21, 2003 Posted August 21, 2003 To late I guess. Anyway there really needs to be some VF-22s(Max, Miriya, and Gamlin) verisons. Quote
Mr March Posted August 21, 2003 Posted August 21, 2003 I want those new hands on the VF-1J to be included in some sort of accessory pack, GPB-1, or Super Parts set. I don't want to have to buy a whole new 1/48 VF-1 Valkyrie just to get those great looking hands. Quote
Evil Monkey Posted August 21, 2003 Posted August 21, 2003 Question #2: Macross 7 mecha, When will we see the VF-17,22S,and full armored 11 not to mention varuta mecha goodness? Neato shiny new site!!! Looks good! Special thanks to Shawn and Graham. Ahhh... Nuts! I missed the dinner, but here's my 2 cents for the next time . I agree a VF-4, and VF-17S/D would be very nice in 1/48th scale that and full armour parts for my VF-11B would be great too. I've been trying to get my hands on the full armoured parts for the longest time... But I missed out on the IHP kits. Quote
Hybridchild Posted August 21, 2003 Posted August 21, 2003 So Graham how was the dinner? Hybridchild Quote
SuperDimensionalDave Posted August 21, 2003 Posted August 21, 2003 How about a 1/48 scale SDF-1? I probably couldn't afford to pay my mortgage after such a purchase but I suppose I could move into it. Quote
Toonz Posted August 21, 2003 Posted August 21, 2003 So Graham how was the dinner?Hybridchild share with us .... oh what did you eat for your dinner? Quote
Toonz Posted August 21, 2003 Posted August 21, 2003 How about a 1/48 scale SDF-1? I probably couldn't afford to pay my mortgage after such a purchase but I suppose I could move into it. how big is your house? Quote
SuperDimensionalDave Posted August 21, 2003 Posted August 21, 2003 Big enough to comfortably house my Macross collection and that is ALL that matters. . I can't wait to hear what Yamato has in store for us... I'm still DYING for the upcoming Millia QRau.. WOW!!! Quote
imode Posted August 21, 2003 Posted August 21, 2003 How about a 1/48 scale SDF-1?  I probably couldn't afford to pay my mortgage after such a purchase but I suppose I could move into it. how big is your house? The 1/48 SDF-1 IS my house. Quote

Commander McBride Posted August 21, 2003 Posted August 21, 2003 When's the Petite-Cola machine going to be released?!? Now you know that`s the toy we ALL WANT and the trash collector from the beginning of DYRL Hey! How come the robot camera doesn't get any love? Quote
Graham Posted August 22, 2003 Posted August 22, 2003 OK, I'm back. Went out for an Indian meal last night with two of the guys from Yamato. Lots of beer was drunk and a good time was had by all. Unfortunately, although I got a fair amount of new info on what's planned, there is very little that I'm publically allowed to reveal. Last time I went for one of these dinners earlier this year I released far too much info on MW and got in big trouble. Anyway, I saw the finished VE-1 and VT-1 last night and very pretty they look. However, the boxes are huge, nearly rivalling the 1/48 boxes in size. I think Yamato must have 'Big Box Syndrome' or something Anyway, the VT-1 and VE-1 are currently on route to Japan from the factory so should have no problem meeting the scheduled August 31st release date. Didn't get to see any samples of the 1/48 FAST packs which bummed me out. I gather the FAST packs are currently in the middle of production and should be shipping to Japan soon, so hopefully they will reach Japan in time for the planned August 31 release date, although there is a possibility that we may end up with a first week of September release. The 1/48 VF-1S Hikaru is defintely scheduled for an October release. I can confirm that the heatshield will be red, not black. The official explanation is that when you see it as black in the anime, it is just because of shadow. No additional interchangeable hands are planned at this time for the VF-1S Hikaru which is disappointing. Basically, there wouldn't be time to get them sculpted, approved and into production by October. The posibility does exist that additional non-articulated DYRL hands may be offered at a later date as an upgrade kit though, so keep your fingers crossed. Lastly, I did suggest that we would like to see light grey painted panel lines on the VF-1S Hikaru, ala the 1/48 Low Vis, but the guy in charge of Macross product development didn't seem too keen on the idea. You guys are going to hate me, but I just plain forgot to ask about the 1/60 upgrade parts Other topics such as Macross Zero & Macross Plus toys, other future Macross toys and HG/BW legal issues were discussed in depth, unfortunately, I'm not allowed to talk about any of that. Sorry for the sparsity of new information, but my hands really are tied. The last thing I will say is expect to see some of the new really exciting Macross items starting sometime in Spring next year. Graham Quote
Effect Posted August 22, 2003 Posted August 22, 2003 Thanks Graham. B) Its times like this I really wish I could read minds, especially at great distances. <_< Quote
Commander McBride Posted August 22, 2003 Posted August 22, 2003 Thanks Graham. B) Its times like this I really wish I could read minds, especially at great distances. lol, I feel the same way.... Quote
Toonz Posted August 22, 2003 Posted August 22, 2003 thanks graham i wonder how the box for the ve and vt will look like....curious..... Quote
Sam Posted August 22, 2003 Posted August 22, 2003 oh well, another carrot dangled in front of our eyes.... Surprises are good. I just like knowing about them I hope yamato picked up the tab for ya, for all this freelance info gathering you do! lol Quote
UN Spacy Posted August 22, 2003 Posted August 22, 2003 The 1/48 VF-1S Hikaru is defintely scheduled for an October release. Graham Is it going to be bundled with the Fast Packs as some sort Anniversary product (for DYRL's 20th)? Quote

Graham Is it going to be bundled with the Fast Packs as some sort Anniversary product (for DYRL's 20th)? Nope, it will not come with the FPs. So far there is no special DYRL anniversery product planned. Even BW apparently don't have anything special planned Graham Quote
CHAN Posted August 22, 2003 Posted August 22, 2003 Cool info Graham. too bad on the gag order. Did you manage to ask them if the FPs are suppose to go with the low vis? i know it is a very trivial question, but it would make the difference between buyin extra FPs or saving money. Quote
PC Valkyrie Posted August 22, 2003 Posted August 22, 2003 The last thing I will say is expect to see some of the new really exciting Macross items starting sometime in Spring next year.Graham LOL. When will my spending on Macross products end? Since joining MW in 2001, I've spent a lot more money than I had ever imagined on toys based on a 20 year old cartoon. My wife is getting concerned, especially about WHERE I will be placing my current and upcoming products. Quote
Lightning Posted August 22, 2003 Posted August 22, 2003 no smidgin of VF-4 info? (i will pester yamato until they say yes or no!) Quote
Zero Posted August 22, 2003 Posted August 22, 2003 Hello, everybody. This is my first time to post message. But I have already visited this site have a long time. May I know "YAMATO" will issue the YF-19 Fast Pack version within this year? And will they re-issue the 1/48 VF-1S "Focker" and VF-1A "Hikaru" version? I hope all of you can understand my english. Because I am not good at it. Zero Quote
Valkyrie Hunter D Posted August 22, 2003 Posted August 22, 2003 You guys are going to hate me, but I just plain forgot to ask about the 1/60 upgrade parts D'oh! Thanks anyways, G! Quote
Hurricane29 Posted August 22, 2003 Posted August 22, 2003 I don't think they will be reissued, but Kevin has them at the Valkyrie-exchange.com. Thanks for the news Graham, spring thats what only like 6 months aways all the more time for my wallet to go into rehab. Quote
zerocool Posted August 22, 2003 Posted August 22, 2003 (edited) More macross nex year my wife is going to kill me Edited August 22, 2003 by zerocool Quote

Sorry for the sparsity of new information, but my hands really are tied. Graham We know you have to kept the information secret... But remember some of us will be visiting you next January. Im SURE we will get you drunk and we will make you TALK! MUAAA HA HA And if the alchol doesnt work, We know some other methods. B) Is SO bad they wont add panel lines on the VF 1S. What about the color? White or Grey? Quote

It's alright...there are sometimes when I've had a bit too much Yoshinol (while visiting the forums). Are you looking to add another Yamato to your collection? Quote
