Master Dex Posted July 2, 2008 Posted July 2, 2008 I've been thinking about getting this thing recently although I can't afford it now and I'm saving for a VF-25 later but my then hopefully I'll have more money anyway. I haven't had time to read this entire thread so I'm just curious does everything think this thing is worth the price? Is it even easy to get anymore I hear not a lot of places sell it anymore? I'd really like to own the Macross in some form and this thing looks really nice despite being small so I want to know if it is really worth it. Also if it is still available anywhere can people point me to a good site that sells it? I can't afford it now but if I do end up getting it I should know where to do so. Quote

UN Spacy Posted December 10, 2008 Posted December 10, 2008 old news, i posted a link for hlj.com a couple of weeks ago. : P Will go well with the new Minmay from CMS! Just imagine. The CMS Minmay and Wave Macross on one side of the shelf. The Banpresto Sheryl and Bandai Macross Quarter on the other side of the shelf. DROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL. Quote
ruskiiVFaussie Posted December 10, 2008 Posted December 10, 2008 Add in the Gashapon VF-1S Hikaru battroid on a clear stand in front of Minmay/SDF, DROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL I just paid for my order, Minmay is on the way, not i gotta re-arrange the SDF-1 to get maximum display effect. Quote

ruskiiVFaussie Posted December 10, 2008 Posted December 10, 2008 Just didn't think it was a hot topic so i placed it with another topic that was fresh. but your right it should have been placed here. Quote
Project Phoenix Posted December 10, 2008 Posted December 10, 2008 Limited to 1000 pieces? Heh. It'll drive the price up again I suppose. Quote
jenius Posted December 10, 2008 Posted December 10, 2008 How can a reissue also be a limited edition? Quote
ntsan Posted December 11, 2008 Posted December 11, 2008 (edited) Given the price on Ebay.. I think the re-issue could keep price even lower :lol (the lowest I saw is $96 brand new on a limited sale) Edited December 11, 2008 by ntsan Quote
miriya Posted December 11, 2008 Posted December 11, 2008 THIS THING IS JUST TOO EXPENSIVE!!! I know that everyone wants to debate economics right now and I dont really want to anymore but I will say that this toy is just too expensive. I have wanted one since the first one came out and still do not have one because I just cant spend that much on that size of a toy. Quote
ff95gj Posted December 11, 2008 Posted December 11, 2008 It looks nice on its own; but it looks too small when puting aside with my 1/48's. And it's not cheap either... Quote
ruskiiVFaussie Posted December 11, 2008 Posted December 11, 2008 (edited) Although the quality is outstanding imo, i love it to bits... but it is way overpriced. I bought mine when the aussie dollar was pretty much same as the USD, nowadays i wouldn't think about getting it. I knew about the size downfall before i bought it as well, just that i always wanted an SDF-1 toy (i see you already got a chunky monkey SDF in your collection Miriya ) So yeah, might pay to wait for bandai or yamato to make one.

macrossnake Posted December 11, 2008 Posted December 11, 2008 It looks nice on its own; but it looks too small when puting aside with my 1/48's. And it's not cheap either... Yes, totally... it is small and expensive. However it looks very nice and details. I hope Yamato or Bandai will do a bigger scale of it, like 1/3000 or 1/4000. Quote
ff95gj Posted December 11, 2008 Posted December 11, 2008 Yes... I was tempted to buy one when I first saw its pics on the web. Very nice model. But then where I learn about the size, I decided to wait for a bigger version. Again, it looks nice, but weird if placed next to my valkyries. I am not asking an enormous model, but I expect something that is of similar height head-to-head. I know it won't be cheap... But in that case I am more willing to pay. Yes, totally... it is small and expensive. However it looks very nice and details. I hope Yamato or Bandai will do a bigger scale of it, like 1/3000 or 1/4000. Quote
m0n5t3r Posted December 11, 2008 Posted December 11, 2008 almost bought this too back in June, i think... was all ready to pay but when i saw how small it was, i backed out... i wish someone would make a bigger one, even if it was just a bit bigger than a 1/48... i would gladly pay 2x what the Wave costs.

AcroRay Posted December 11, 2008 Posted December 11, 2008 I find myself wondering why they're re-issuing an item that already seems to be readily available. Surely retailers have enough of the previous editions. Quote
VFTF1 Posted December 11, 2008 Posted December 11, 2008 I had the same dilema about the price - but I bought it a few months ago and yeah - it was expensive - but I an guarantee you guys that I have long since forgotten about the money I dropped for this thing and remembered only love So get it while you can... The Banpresto Sheryl and Bandai Macross Quarter on the other side of the shelf. What Banpresto Sheryl??? Me wants! Where? Pete Quote

I'm surprised you didn't see this earlier, theres a dedicated thread! https://www.over-drive-inc.com/store/ Link to the thread discussing the figures: http://www.macrossworld.com/mwf/index.php?showtopic=28265 Edited December 11, 2008 by edwin3060 Quote
crescens Posted December 11, 2008 Posted December 11, 2008 only micron Klan looks good actually Quote
VFTF1 Posted December 11, 2008 Posted December 11, 2008 Err - but we're going way off topic. Thanks for the link and info Edwin and... um --- I really like my WAVE Movie Color SDF-1 and recommend it to everybody who's on the fence about it. It does cost a lot for such a small piece - but we don't exactly have lots of Macrosses to pick from and this one is very nice. Stable in both modes, comes with a stand and will look very beautiful with CMS Minmey I'm sure Pete Quote
chowyunskinny Posted December 23, 2008 Posted December 23, 2008 Saw this custom SDF-1 with the Yamato & Arcadia for arms like in Daicon 4 on Yahoo Japan Quote
VFTF1 Posted December 23, 2008 Posted December 23, 2008 So awesome! Although the Arcadia kind of ruins it. He should have found something else to go there... Still - a great paint job and my prefered look for the ship. Pete Quote

ruskiiVFaussie Posted December 23, 2008 Posted December 23, 2008 w t h, what the hell is Daicon 4??? Quote
QuinJester Posted December 23, 2008 Posted December 23, 2008 (edited) w t h, what the hell is Daicon 4??? Prepare yourself! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daicon_IV Basically an intro movie for a convention featuring characters and designs from just about every classic anime at the time. Edited December 23, 2008 by QuinJester Quote
anime52k8 Posted December 24, 2008 Posted December 24, 2008 yeah but that's what was in Daicon 4 wow, you've really been missing out Quote
physioguy Posted December 24, 2008 Posted December 24, 2008 I've listed my wave SDF-1 on ebay, but the arm is broken, so better only for customizers like the ones in those pics! Quote
