Godzilla Posted October 16, 2006 Posted October 16, 2006 Guys, didnt this get Graham get trouble in the first place? I mean seriously, if Graham spilled the beans, Yamato would not be happy and cut him off like the last time. No offense, but there are better things to worry about. Just look at the Yankee's pitcher who bit the dust. Just sit back and relax. Let the good times roll. If Graham is right, this is good time for us Macross fans. Take it as it goes. Quote

Lightning Posted October 16, 2006 Posted October 16, 2006 I really, really, really hope it's a 1/48 VF-4.... Quote
UN Spacy Posted October 16, 2006 Posted October 16, 2006 (edited) I really, really, really hope it's a 1/48 VF-4.... Anyone think Yamato will only use the 1/48 scale for the VF-1 line? IMHO I think every new mold should be 1/60 (sans the Macross IF they make one). Edited October 16, 2006 by UN Spacy Quote
mister_e Posted October 16, 2006 Posted October 16, 2006 Anyone think Yamato will only use the 1/48 scale for the VF-1 line? It is starting to look that way isn't it? I guess that's okay though, even though they may not be quite as nice as the 1/48's, there are quite a few 1/60 VF-1's for those who like to have all of their stuff to scale Quote
Nani?! Posted October 16, 2006 Posted October 16, 2006 (edited) I think Exo made a comment a while back that I agree with about yamato and scales... That they'll make it as big as they can as long as they don't exceed the price limit of their fans by much, or take a hit in their profit margin per valk... More than them sticking with the 1/60 scale, I think they're sticking with the 1/48's overall size. Edited October 16, 2006 by Nani?! Quote
Sumdumgai Posted October 17, 2006 Posted October 17, 2006 Well hell if it is a 1/60 VF-4 then the price better be far less than the VF-0 and YF-19. That beauty is going to be really small. Quote
1/1 LowViz Lurker Posted October 17, 2006 Posted October 17, 2006 Well I think if they were going to go with it, I would prefer that Yamato aim it at collectors rather than the mainstream. Like with the VF-0 originally going to be 1/100 and then getting upscaled, I think in the long term it would pay off. (given how little this thing appears and all) Sure it might be more expensive, but those who want it as fans of that design will pay for the boost in quality and any advantage that comes at a bigger scale. The kind of things that I would want at smaller scales are non-transformable alien mecha with not that much detail on them in the first place with little moving parts and stuff. (ie regult, glaug etc) These are big enough that imo you wouldn't necessarily want them in large scale. 1/48 is good enough size for vf-1 because of the added detail. 1/60 is good for Qrau as that is pretty huge already. Same with VF-0. If they could cram heaps of detail on smaller stuff then go for it. But I feel that smaller details like the markings and stuff would be easier to see and look better with a boost in size for some mecha. Things like articulated hands and stuff would be better too if they were in large scale. I want as close as they can get to a PG level of detail for as many valks that are made. Quote
ruskiiVFaussie Posted October 17, 2006 Posted October 17, 2006 (edited) I'd even settle with the Hikaru line (as in all the VF-1's and through to the VF-4/others?) all to be in the whopping 1 / 4 8 . And all the Macross Plus's and Macross Zero's in 1/60. Hows that settle with everybody else? I'm peachy with it. Edited October 17, 2006 by ruskiiVFaussie Quote
Scream Man Posted October 17, 2006 Posted October 17, 2006 i think the vf-1 should be the only 48 scale fighter. Its the flagship fighter for the line, the most well known. id like a 1/60 scale as well so that it fits in with the bulk of the series fighters, but the vf-1 should be the only 48 scale. Quote
ruskiiVFaussie Posted October 17, 2006 Posted October 17, 2006 Yep! ... but also the VF-4's I can't remember but they are even smaller than the VF-1's?? If so 1/48 would be awesome. Quote
Apollo Leader Posted October 17, 2006 Posted October 17, 2006 1/60th scale YF-21 would be my first guess. Second guess is the long awaited SDF-1 Macross toy. "Super Dimension Fortress" rammed together as one word would be 22 letters... maybe Graham meant to put in one more underscore! Seriously, one of the biggest disappointments about the last 6-7 years of Macross goodness from Yamato, Toynami, and Bandai has been the lack of an SDF-1 toy. Especially a transforming one! The ship transforms and it's the friggin' namesack of the show to begin with! Quote

I hope it's 2007 within the next couple seasons as opposed to Christmas 2007. Quote
Dante74 Posted October 17, 2006 Posted October 17, 2006 (edited) Damn...Every time I see new posts in this thread I think it might be that Graham finally told us what his sig means. This is starting to get annoying. highlight-->C'mon G-man spill it!<--highlight Edited October 17, 2006 by Dante74 Quote
do not disturb Posted October 17, 2006 Posted October 17, 2006 haha, its only annoying if actually think he's going to answer you....me, i'm rather enjoying people playing hang-man with graham sig. i still say its the 21 but if its a the SDF-1, i know i'll have to give up one of my kidneys. Quote
Nani?! Posted October 17, 2006 Posted October 17, 2006 Graham has tendencies... He usually starts teasing us a couple weeks before something is announced officially... Given that the hobby mags come out in a week, I'm guessing we'll know about whatever he's teasing us with then. Quote

Chewie Posted October 18, 2006 Posted October 18, 2006 Well, a 1/60th YF-21 would explain the time it took for the 19 to come around. I guess we'll see. Quote
ruskiiVFaussie Posted October 18, 2006 Posted October 18, 2006 (edited) If it is the Macross, i want minature VF's! And DESTROIDS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet choking hazards! Edited October 18, 2006 by ruskiiVFaussie Quote
1/1 LowViz Lurker Posted October 18, 2006 Posted October 18, 2006 Come on hobby mags, show us some CAD lineart for the 21 then if that is what it is. *Wets pants in anticpation* Quote
Mog Posted October 18, 2006 Posted October 18, 2006 What if we're going about this the wrong way? What if the "2007_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _!" really means that Yamato will be breaking out 21 SEPARATE releases/re-issues in 2007?! Imagine a 2007 with: 1. Fold Booster and Fast Packs for YF-19 2. 1/60 YF-21(with Fast Packs) 3. 1/60 VF-11 (with Fast Packs) 4. 1/48 VF-4 5. 1/60 SV-51 6. Large-scale SDF-1 (TV-style) 7.

UN_MARINE Posted October 18, 2006 Posted October 18, 2006 i'm gonna say... it's the little stuff he's posted in threads here & there... like the perfect 1/60 VF 1 thread... he's practically got a list of "possible" improvements yamato's doing (or already done) aside from the "nearly obvious" YF 21 ...that's a lot of stuff he "can neither confirm nor deny" Quote
mister_e Posted October 18, 2006 Posted October 18, 2006 8. 1/48 VF-1D Trainer 9. 1/48 Super Ostrich 10. 1/48 Elintseeker 14. 1/48 Super VF-1J Max re-issue 15. 1/48 Super VF-1J Milia re-issue I know this isn't the "news", but I am SO hoping we get these at some point. If we don't get the 2 seaters, I hope they can at least re-issue the M&M 1J's. I missed out the first time around Quote
emajnthis Posted October 18, 2006 Posted October 18, 2006 The sig has changed to: 2000___________________! 2000 was when the original 1/72 YF-21 was made; i want a YF-21 Quote
mister_e Posted October 18, 2006 Posted October 18, 2006 The sig has changed to: 2000___________________! No it hasn't. I just checked, it's still 2007_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _! Graham, this game might be more fun if you actually, oh I dunno, revealed a friggin letter or two Quote
do not disturb Posted October 18, 2006 Posted October 18, 2006 yes pat, i'd like to buy a vowel.....is there an A? Quote
Deimos Posted October 19, 2006 Posted October 19, 2006 2007isagoodyearformacross! that filled up all the blanks Quote
Mog Posted October 19, 2006 Posted October 19, 2006 (edited) Continuing Deimos' theme and after getting inspiration from this thread, how about: 70cm-TallSDF-1Macross! 70cm is a nice round number (well over 2 feet for us non-metric folks). And a Macross measuring from stem to stern in that length would be a rather nice and towering display piece. ("It's BIG") Wouldn't you agree, Graham? (Edited because it's late, and Mog finally realized 100cm would actually be 1 meter (far beyond 2 feet!)....I'm an idiot sometimes.) Edited October 19, 2006 by Mog Quote
isamu_dyson Posted October 19, 2006 Posted October 19, 2006 40 or 50 cm tall will be nice already especially 50 (half a meter) Quote
malcos Posted October 19, 2006 Posted October 19, 2006 This has probably already been said, but whatever: Seeing as they've released the YF-19 (god bless ) it' be a shame not to release at least the YF-21 and possibly even the VF-11. That said, I'd also like to see an SV-51, a VF-17 or a Glaug. Quote
