Scream Man Posted October 1, 2008 Posted October 1, 2008 i still dig it. the prepainted ground crew is a big sell for me
ron5864 Posted October 1, 2008 Posted October 1, 2008 I meant I'll customize the Yamato Tomahawk with a darker paint scheme like this...
Fly4victory Posted October 1, 2008 Posted October 1, 2008 Got the shipping notice last night from HLJ. EMS shipping! Hope it shows up before the weekend.
sqidd Posted October 1, 2008 Posted October 1, 2008 HLJ just released my pair for shipping. Did you order a pair of Tomahawks or is there another Destroid I have not seen? I'm looking forward to the reviews on these but I can't say I am as excited about them since seeing that hight comparison pic. They are a bit small. $75 seems a bit more reasonable for something that size that doesn't transform into anything.
spiderman Posted October 1, 2008 Posted October 1, 2008 Got my notice this morning as well. Can't wait, except I have to make space for it.
do not disturb Posted October 1, 2008 Posted October 1, 2008 hmmm....$100 for a 20cm non-transforming destroid? kind of reminds me of the 20cm SDF-1 but at least that tranforms. with the condition of the economy, i know they'll definitely go on sale.
Lynx7725 Posted October 1, 2008 Posted October 1, 2008 Did you order a pair of Tomahawks or is there another Destroid I have not seen? I ordered a pair. I like the 'Hawk design well enough. I'm actually happy that there's no transformation involved. A lot of the problems Yamato had was with material weakness under stress of transformation, so having something suitably non-transformable should provide less weak points.

Your probably right. I can't check till i get home in a couple of days, wether or not mine will be bundled with other orders, but if mine is gonna be sent by itself i may just cancel and wait for that sale. :edit: just checked, i got my Solid Archive macross box and Frontier patch getting sent with it, looks like i'll be grabbing the Tomo!

A lot of the problems Yamato had was with material weakness under stress of transformation, so having something suitably non-transformable should provide less weak points. I couldn't agree more. Yamato's 1/60 Q-Rau is also solid, more than likely because it doesn't transform either. Unfortunately, like the 1/60 Tomahawk, it was also horribly overpriced. So I just waited and picked it up on clearance at 50% off.

This Tomohawk is way more advanced! wayyy more.

Sumdumgai Posted October 2, 2008 Posted October 2, 2008 Holy crap that is one poseable destroid! That is really badass! Makes me want a Cheyenne...
Bio Posted October 2, 2008 Posted October 2, 2008 (edited) Unbelievable!!! Nice pics. TNX Edited October 2, 2008 by Bio
Graham Posted October 2, 2008 Posted October 2, 2008 Out here in HK. Saw it in the Oriental 188 center in Wanchai for HK$599 this evening on the way to class, but didn't have enough cash on me to buy it and the shop didn't accept plastic. Will go back and pick up one tomorrow. Graham
Californium Posted October 2, 2008 Posted October 2, 2008 We get this we every release. prototype pics turn up online showing the toy with stickers and people start complaining, then when the toy is released it has tampo printed markings. You guys should know the rountine after all these years! Uh-huh. And there are some other Yamato routines that people should recognize by now.
ruskiiVFaussie Posted October 2, 2008 Posted October 2, 2008 (edited) Holy crap that is one poseable destroid! That is really badass! Makes me want a Cheyenne... Ahh NICE. Yep i'm with you, Yamato needs to do the Cheyenne. Glad i didn't cancel for the weathered version, even though we don't know what price it would be, the features of poseability alone are worth paying the price for this little rippa! Makes me want to Mod some Spartan arms so he can punch the crap out or Millia's Q-Rau... Hope Spartan is in the works! Graham-san please do up a mini review for us! So NO tampos? And i thought there was a third Crew figure to be included? (Rifle man?) Or is that with the next destroid release.. BTW guys, anyone keen to get recasts should shoot their crew/pilots over to SilverDragon so he can punch some out for us! And lastly (trying to fit all that i want to ask) Those arm cannons that the Tomohawk weilds, are they Energy Cannons? Edited October 2, 2008 by ruskiiVFaussie
Graham Posted October 3, 2008 Posted October 3, 2008 Just picked one up during my lunch break. I'll try to snap off a few pics tonight after my monster goes to bed (my son, not the Destroid), that is unless Swoosh beats me to posting photos first. Anyway, looks great in the box. I will probably pick up a second one if there are no problems with this one (touch wood). Graham
Graham Posted October 3, 2008 Posted October 3, 2008 Heh, picked up a second one. Unfortunately, my digital camera battery just ran out of power, so gotta charge it. Very nice toy. Graham
Graham Posted October 3, 2008 Posted October 3, 2008 Here's a few quick indoor pics taken at night with a flash. Graham
logos Posted October 3, 2008 Posted October 3, 2008 Cool. I think I am going to be glad I decided to keep my pre-order. Now I just have to suffer waiting for it to ship......man this sucks.
Lynx7725 Posted October 3, 2008 Posted October 3, 2008 Unfortunately, my digital camera battery just ran out of power, so gotta charge it. You took that many photos?
hal9000 Posted October 3, 2008 Posted October 3, 2008 Very nice glad I am geting one, OverDrive said it went out yesterday. Monday... maybe?
Graham Posted October 3, 2008 Posted October 3, 2008 You took that many photos? No, the battery died before I even started. Forgot to charge it after last time I used it. Graham
jenius Posted October 3, 2008 Posted October 3, 2008 I got my shipping notice from Overdrive. Now I just need to decide if I want to do a review of the Destroid, the CMs VR-41, or the Dark Legioss first...
MyClone Posted October 3, 2008 Posted October 3, 2008 Thanks for the pictures, Graham! This destroid has always been one of my favorites. Comparison to 1/60 VF-1, please!!!!!!!!! Ray: PSSST! Best, --MyClone
Guest Posted October 3, 2008 Posted October 3, 2008 It looks promising but how detailed is the cockpit?
Scream Man Posted October 3, 2008 Posted October 3, 2008 im liking it, and i want o many of those crew members it hurts! i hope they do different posed ones with each destroid!
ruskiiVFaussie Posted October 4, 2008 Posted October 4, 2008 (edited) I like the pilot detail! wonder how that arm placement would look in a 1/60 v.2 Vf-1... Just have to say it looks terribly bare without decals. it's the colour chosen of course. Edited October 4, 2008 by ruskiiVFaussie
1/1 LowViz Lurker Posted October 5, 2008 Posted October 5, 2008 Looks good. Finally some destroids! Pretty damn posable too. Anyone buying the weathered one?
AcroRay Posted October 5, 2008 Posted October 5, 2008 Thanks for the pictures, Graham! This destroid has always been one of my favorites. Ray: PSSST! Best, --MyClone Yeah, I already had that in my files. I wanted a production version shot.
