Guest sh002 Posted September 5, 2007 Posted September 5, 2007 1/48 scale being dead is good and bad since a lot of people like that scale. While I think it is awesome, I never owned a VF-1 in that scale. Let's hope Yamato sticks with 1/60 scale with everything else. I'd love a complete Macross universe in one scale. I wish Yamato would release the remaining canon VF-1's that were released in 1/48 scale as releases in 1/60 scale. For example Angel Birds VF-1A, etc. While obsolete, I'd love a reissued and remodified 1/60 VF-1. I'd also like a 1/60 Koenig Monster, VF-11B FP, and VF-19A to compensate for those in other scales. Then everything so far would have been released all in 1/60 scale. Wouldn't that be nice? Quote
jenius Posted September 5, 2007 Posted September 5, 2007 Fortunately the most profitable Macross item out there is the VF-1 so there can always be hope for a retooled 1/60 VF-1 in the future. I, for one, would love to see it and I know there have been threads where others made the same claim. It's sad that so many cool toys are getting remarkable 1/60 treatment (although sure, those toys suited them better to 1/60 because of their larger proportions) while the VF-1 got what was clearly a beginner's effort. How cool would it have also been if you could take your 1/60 VF-0S Roy and put him in you 1/60 YF-19 and then put him in your 1/60 VF-1? That's not gonna happen... but it woulda been cool. Quote
Uxi Posted September 5, 2007 Posted September 5, 2007 (edited) Hopefully we will see a retooled 1/60 with all the 1/48 improvements. Make a metal hip bar and a metal ring BP11 (or whatever part that is for the backpack piece) and everything should be good. Edited September 5, 2007 by Uxi Quote
miriya Posted September 5, 2007 Posted September 5, 2007 I think that the 1/48 scale was great for many reasons but one in particular is that it lends itself very well to dioramas because of the great amount of 1/48 and O scale models and sets. Quote
Scream Man Posted September 5, 2007 Posted September 5, 2007 i agree with Miriya on that point. Quote
UN Spacy Posted September 5, 2007 Posted September 5, 2007 Trust me, there is no chance in seeing a VF-4 in 1/48 scale. Graham :angry: :angry: :angry: :angry: Quote
nightmareB4macross Posted September 6, 2007 Posted September 6, 2007 :angry: :angry: Sorry don't mean to laugh at your despair and anger. But looking at it from my standpoint, the post sure is funny. Quote
mechatek Posted September 6, 2007 Posted September 6, 2007 Hey UN Spacy, maybe there's a chance for the VF-4 in 1/60 scale? Quote
Jin_Kune_Do Posted September 7, 2007 Posted September 7, 2007 1/48!? 1/48 is a dead scale except for the occasional reissue or repaint. Trust me, there is no chance in seeing a VF-4 & vF-11B in 1/48 scale. Graham "Game over man game over....we are farted!" - Hudson -Jin Quote
Scream Man Posted September 7, 2007 Posted September 7, 2007 Toy-wave hasnt got the pre-order for this up yet, so I'll wait till they do before i order. Ken's been to good to me to abandon him now. *free plug* Quote

UN Spacy Posted September 7, 2007 Posted September 7, 2007 Damn you Yamato. Everytime I think I'm out you PULL me back in. Quote
Dante74 Posted September 7, 2007 Posted September 7, 2007 That V-1S is starting to grow on me. Battroid looks really menacing with the 1S head. Quote
odr78 Posted September 7, 2007 Posted September 7, 2007 Yes Shiny... I hope we get the same in december.... Ok.. I will buy a 19..... for my anniversary..... not for 25th macross.... But this time, I promise.... I buy only one YF-19.... I'won't crack anymore.... Just one YF-19....It's a promise..... Just one... not 3 like the last time.... I can resist.... I can.... Quote
Graham Posted September 7, 2007 Posted September 7, 2007 I've said it before and I'll say it again. That YF-19 looks gorgeous. Still not sold on the VF-1 yet though. Graham Quote
Mowe Posted September 7, 2007 Posted September 7, 2007 I wonder how the VF-1 would look with the Stealth Fastpack..... Quote
eugimon Posted September 7, 2007 Posted September 7, 2007 I wonder how the VF-1 would look with the Stealth Fastpack..... how about "awesome?" Quote
ruskiiVFaussie Posted September 7, 2007 Posted September 7, 2007 (edited) Look everyone! Clear visors for both Valks! VF-1S looks better to me now, but i still prefer the 19... sigh. I might still get the YF-19.. but there are too many other things to buy! >_< 19 19 19 19 19 19 191 91 1919191919119199999 yeah i'm still in, but not the 1S Edited September 7, 2007 by ruskiiVFaussie Quote
Scream Man Posted September 8, 2007 Posted September 8, 2007 clear visor? S'ok, thats what clear paint is for... Quote
lechuck Posted September 8, 2007 Posted September 8, 2007 Maybe they should slap on a yellow visor and call it Ver. K.A.(R.R.) Quote

Fly4victory Posted September 8, 2007 Posted September 8, 2007 How long before someone pops that black VF-1S head on top a VF-1J stealth? Quote
Dante74 Posted September 8, 2007 Posted September 8, 2007 Lookee at what i just spotted on EvilBay... http://cgi.ebay.com/Yamato-Macross-1-48-25...1QQcmdZViewItem Hmmmmmm....... anyone want a slighty used liver or knidney?

vermillion01 Posted September 8, 2007 Posted September 8, 2007 (edited) Hmm thats the page.. http://cgi.ebay.com/Yamato-Macross-1-48-25...1QQcmdZViewItem try this. NOTICE that its listed as 1/48.... dodgy eh? OK i cant get the link to work either... but on ebay.com, currently page 3 about half way down!! Edited September 8, 2007 by vermillion01 Quote
Aegis! Posted September 8, 2007 Posted September 8, 2007 Don't know if this has been confirmed but are those 25th anniversary text logos tampo'ed or stickers ? Quote

vermillion01 Posted September 8, 2007 Posted September 8, 2007 (edited) Sorry amigos tried to copy and paste the page in... trust me its up there though... nice lookin black YF-19 25th anniversary... but a 1/48? Edited September 8, 2007 by vermillion01 Quote
R_Deckard Posted September 8, 2007 Posted September 8, 2007 (edited) BBTS has these up for pre-order now. They listed them at Diecast. There's no way these could be diecast is there? Link: http://www.bigbadtoystore.com/bbts/search....ch=25th+macross Edited September 8, 2007 by R_Deckard Quote
Guest sh002 Posted September 8, 2007 Posted September 8, 2007 maybe a little more diecast content. otherwise they'd be super scrapers. Quote
GobotFool Posted September 9, 2007 Posted September 9, 2007 I really like the black with gold trim. I'm not thrilled about having 25th anniversary stamped on the side of my valk. I think it would have been cooler to make the squadron number 25, or something like that, but its not a particularly big deal for me. Quote
Deimos Posted September 9, 2007 Posted September 9, 2007 Sorry amigos tried to copy and paste the page in... trust me its up there though... nice lookin black YF-19 25th anniversary... but a 1/48? try searching item no 190149164057 if anyone else wanted to see the 1/48 scale YF-19 Quote
