Cyclone Trooper Posted February 20, 2009 Posted February 20, 2009 It's most definitely Yamato's version of an SDF-1 offering...this is a no-brainer. And since there has never been any "official" launch coverage of the DYRL version, it's most likely going to be the TV-series version. Although I could be wrong about that...considering how Kawamori and Co. have tried their level-best to cobble together all versions of Macross into one universe (DYRL & Zero being "in-universe" movies, TV-style Zentraedi facing off with DYRL-style Zentraedi on Gala 4, TV SDF-1 refitted into DYRL SDF-1, etc.). But as a purist, I'm betting the farm that it'll be the classic TV SDF... Quote
Vifam7 Posted February 22, 2009 Posted February 22, 2009 A report I'm reading at Japanese bbs says - release of 1/60 Elintseeker around Fall release of Armored Valk (GBP) around end of year more repaints of Mac+ Valks to come no plans in immediate future for VF-4 (but they are looking into it since it ranks high in their polls) they may have plans for a smaller size perfect transformation series (around 1/100 scale) they are working to make the boxes smaller Quote

badboy00z Posted February 22, 2009 Posted February 22, 2009 I can't wait to see what repaint M+ valks they release. Quote
Mog Posted February 23, 2009 Posted February 23, 2009 2.5 to 3-foot long TV-STYLE SDF-1. The namesake of the franchise needs to be an imposing sight for the eyes, towering/lording over all of its offspring and charges. Since I'm nearing the end of my mecha collecting, only this (and maybe some 1/60 Regults) would pull me out of semi-retirement. For my next prediction, I'm guessing the Southern California housing market will rebound sometime in July of 2011. ...Better buy up some properties in Northern California then. And by "rebound," I mean folks will be back at their break-even points. Quote
VFTF1 Posted February 23, 2009 Posted February 23, 2009 Reaction: TO YAMATO: A) 1:2000 SDF-1: good job. Please don't issue it until next January so that I don't have to become a gay prostitute just to buy it. B) Mac+ Repaints: YES! Very good idea. These are great molds, but how many of the same color can you have? I hope the repaints are interersting and light blue for the YF-19 C) 1/100 Valkyrie: Understanable in today's economy that you'd start doing this. Hopefully you will give Toynami and Bandai a run for their money here and make some outstanding pieces. I will definitely be interested in them. GUNDAM VS. VALKYRIE !!! YAY!! Pete Quote
Cent Posted February 23, 2009 Posted February 23, 2009 Hopefully they do some of those doppler schemes. (Referring to the SV-51 custom paint thread) That was amazing for a non-canon scheme. Quote
melbin234 Posted February 23, 2009 Posted February 23, 2009 Easy... their Macross design team should be purchased outright by Bandai. QC solved (mostly). yes yes i agree with this. bandai has less qc issues unlike yamato, which i encoutered a few days back, a crack on my yf-19 and yery loose joints almost every where. Quote

Pete Graham has discounted the 1/100 Yamato PT valk line so either Yamato hates him again or it's probably not going to come out. I'm going with the latter. Also, can we say VF-19A, VF-11C and (maybe) VF-22? Woohoo! For sure the VF-19A and the VF-11C will come out, since the GNU-DOUs for that are out already. Quote

I'm going with the latter. The smaller scale PT Valk line is likely something that Yamato is simply considering. It's likely not something that's actually already in the works and probably something they just began swirling ideas for. Also, the scale is not definite. 1/100 is simply a wild guess. A smaller size PT Valk line is a good idea. I hope it comes to fruition. Quote

A smaller size PT Valk line is a good idea. I hope it comes to fruition. I hope so too! But I like I said previously, I don't think Yamato would want to go into direct competition with Bandai, especially since Bandai has the jump on the 1/100 line and can produce a much wider range of valks (due to having access to more licenses). Unless, Yamato has some amazing new breakproof plastic that works well on such small scales and can make their 1/100 line fully PT. Quote

Californium Posted February 23, 2009 Posted February 23, 2009 So... No news about a possible Phalanx or, more importantly, Spartan? No 1/60th Regult mentioned over the weekend? Or Glaug? No GNU-Dou TV version SDF Macross that can run around Daedalusing my other robots in the butt? Quote
macrossnake Posted February 24, 2009 Posted February 24, 2009 So... No news about a possible Phalanx or, more importantly, Spartan? No 1/60th Regult mentioned over the weekend? Or Glaug? No GNU-Dou TV version SDF Macross that can run around Daedalusing my other robots in the butt? After all the excitment (1/2000 SDF-1, 1/60 VT1 , VE1 and 30cm Quarter) in the last few days, I couldn't help there is a bit disappointment without hearing about 1/60 Regult or Glaug. Quote
Ignacio Ocamica Posted February 26, 2009 Posted February 26, 2009 Yamato must do the VF-4!!! They have no choice I've just received the January and February Model Graphix issues with the "Valkyrie Profiles", and the scratchbuild VF-4 is absolutely beautiful!!! I'll post all the scns later!! Yamato should use this kit as a base for a 1/60 VF-4. I wonder who was "erased" from this pic, maybe the "Hory Froating Head", or the guy that does the sculpts for Yamato? Why and who is trying to hide what from us? Quote
VFTF1 Posted February 26, 2009 Posted February 26, 2009 Cool!! I'm sure Yamato is working on it. Why wouldn't they be if they have the license and all? Oh - and I check out this statement by Yamato representatives at the Wondertoymodellovefairaffair Fair: "We have decided to issue the 1/2000 SDF-1, the 1/60 version 2 line with beautiful things like the 1D and VT-1 and VE, as well as issue perfectly QC repaired Macross Zero VF-0Ss not to mention the VF-4 we are working on now - all this year during the worst economic crisis in the history of the universe. We expect our loyal fans to buy all of this, multiple times over. If you don't, we will close up shop. Thank you." But seriously - I see the VF-4 in our future Oh - and you know who else I see? ORGUSS ARMOR FOR VF-1!! Yes - why not? It would be fun, unique and original and it would work I'd get it! Orguss armor Yamato! Please! Pete Quote
logos Posted February 26, 2009 Posted February 26, 2009 Let the speculation begin! Damn it's nice. Maybe we'll see something like it out some decade. It's right up there on my list of probably never happen but really want with the VF-0D. Good news is that I can take a large SDF-1 off my list.....hopefully. Now just have to figure out how to afford it. Quote

valhary Posted February 26, 2009 Posted February 26, 2009 i disagree is more important my reactive armor for have complete my vf 0s Quote
Shin Densetsu Kai 7.0 Posted February 26, 2009 Posted February 26, 2009 A smaller size PT Valk line is a good idea. I hope it comes to fruition. 1/72 would be a great scale. Small, makes for more affordable toys, and it is a scale compatible with model kits, hell a TON of aircraft and support crew kits are in that scale. Quote

thankheaven Posted February 26, 2009 Posted February 26, 2009 There isn't many more VF's that Yamato can do now after the VF-11 comes out and the new VF-1 line in 1/60. The VF-0D and the Reactive Armor are something they really should make as well as the VF-4. I don't understand why Yamato hasn't already made a VF-0D, i mean it was shown just as much as the VF-0S if not more. Quote

I don't understand why Yamato hasn't already made a VF-0D, i mean it was shown just as much as the VF-0S if not more. You wonder if Yamato has been hesitant about doing more VF-0 fighters due to the horrible reputation they earned, maybe they feel people will be to timid to buy them....? I don't really know, just a shot in the dark. But if your sales drop on a certain item, and the rep is bad, you reconsider investing more money for it. After all, your in this to make a profit, Not charity to toy collectors. But you have to admit, Yamato has kept a very low pro with the VF-0's, Between exploding/cracking shoulders. floppy wings with the SV-51 line. Even the reissued VF-0S was not loudly advertised. And never a clear cut word as to whether Shins 0A was truly fixed, only a 50/50 shot. I love the VF-0, I have 2 of them. but at the current asking price, the hassle of broken pieces & replacement parts. I'll pass for now. However if they go back to the drawing board, a full re-release. all new design as was rumored to be. A VF-0D and the Reactive Armor. I'll save some $$$ for that!!! And yes, the VF-4!!!!!!!! Quote
EXO Posted February 26, 2009 Posted February 26, 2009 C) 1/100 Valkyrie: Understanable in today's economy that you'd start doing this. Hopefully you will give Toynami and Bandai a run for their money here and make some outstanding pieces. I will definitely be interested in them. Welcome to being the third comany that has a 1/100 valk line, Yamato! B) Mac+ Repaints: YES! Very good idea. These are great molds, but how many of the same color can you have? I hope the repaints are interersting and light blue for the YF-19 Because the purple 1/72 YF-21 needs to make a reappearance... Reaction: TO YAMATO: A) 1:2000 SDF-1: good job. Please don't issue it until next January so that I don't have to become a gay prostitute just to buy it. I think that there's a part of you that secretly wants it in December. Quote
logos Posted February 26, 2009 Posted February 26, 2009 Are there any Vlaks from the games that they could do that would be worthwhile? I mean after a VF-4 and/or a VF-0D what could they do? If not does it finally seem like a good time to do a Glaug and/or a Reguld? They are doing the 1/2000 SDF-1 which I thought they would never do. If they did do any mecha from the games I would love if they did a VF-22 but do they have the rights to any Macross 7 Valks? Quote
SchizophrenicMC Posted February 27, 2009 Posted February 27, 2009 0D! If not, I will have to resort to making papercraft parts to put on a 0A to make it a 0D. I'm not into that much work. Please, Yamato, make a 0D. Make life easier for the lazy 0D addict. Quote
