EXO Posted February 22, 2009 Author Share Posted February 22, 2009 I'm definitely reading the reviews first. I'm so excited I've already forgiven the QC issues with the shoulder cannons... in fact I already pre-ordered a spare from Overdrive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EXO Posted February 22, 2009 Author Share Posted February 22, 2009 Honestly I'm guessing it's gonna be $240. People panic so much about the cost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
505thAirborne Posted February 22, 2009 Share Posted February 22, 2009 Honestly I'm guessing it's gonna be $240. People panic so much about the cost. If its that neighborhood of a price, even a little higher, I am so there!! Thanks for the pics EXO, this made my day!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hikuro Posted February 22, 2009 Share Posted February 22, 2009 Honestly I'm guessing it's gonna be $240. People panic so much about the cost. Oh I have serious doubts it'll be that low. I see this easily as a 400 dollar price tag. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyclone Trooper Posted February 22, 2009 Share Posted February 22, 2009 Approximately double the price of the WAVE SDF-1? That's definitely do-able! Twice the price for twice the size! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ff95gj Posted February 22, 2009 Share Posted February 22, 2009 (edited) Oh I have serious doubts it'll be that low. I see this easily as a 400 dollar price tag. My initial guess was above $500. But I'm afraid I may be too optmistic. Edited February 22, 2009 by ff95gj Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vifam7 Posted February 22, 2009 Share Posted February 22, 2009 (edited) I'm guessing the price will be around $1,000 to $2,000. Probably a limited production run too. Shipping alone would be around $400 to 500 if ordering from HLJ. Such a large and expensive toy they'd likely ship via FedEX.

Guest sh002 Posted February 22, 2009 Share Posted February 22, 2009 i think the price will be a little more. the 1/60 yf-21 lists right now at hlj for around $230. maybe around double that price for the macross? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
505thAirborne Posted February 22, 2009 Share Posted February 22, 2009 I'm guessing the price will be around $1,000 to $2,000. Probably a limited production run too. I hope not, that would be a total drag!!!!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CF18 Posted February 22, 2009 Share Posted February 22, 2009 (edited) Who can tell what kind of shape the exchange rate or our personal finance is when this thing release? I predict 24k to 36k yen. It has way more plastic than the 1/60 YF-21 even if it is mostly hollow. It can transform, right? And before we panic about price, how much did the Takatoku 1/3000 SDF-1 originally cost?

boota Posted February 22, 2009 Share Posted February 22, 2009 I'm so excited I've already forgiven the QC issues with the shoulder cannons... in fact I already pre-ordered a spare from Overdrive.

miriya Posted February 22, 2009 Share Posted February 22, 2009 Just wow! Bring on the Battroid mode pics. It is too big at all. The price? I can only imagine it will be prohibitive for me.... and that I will get one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crasis Posted February 22, 2009 Share Posted February 22, 2009 WHY SO BIG??? Seriously. I absolutely LOVE it, but I really can't understand the scale of the thing. I've been dreaming of Yamato doing an SDF-1 for YEARS, but I'm just baffled by this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
505thAirborne Posted February 22, 2009 Share Posted February 22, 2009 I always thought with the SDF-1 that the idea of bigger was better.... Its just right in size for me!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
isa_o Posted February 22, 2009 Share Posted February 22, 2009 (edited) to boot! it's now going to be YAMATOS RIP OFF MACROSS FAN PRICES It's like their big Chance to MILK US FOR ALL WE HAVE. ISN'T THAT RIGHT YAMATO TAKE US TO THE BANK WHY DON'T you. I'd say more than the current price of the yf-21 x 2 or the price of the Beagle 1/10 at rip off amounts $400 + they will problably say something like the engineeering of the transformation is complex therefore we will have to CHARGE you More. 1. click to 2. click 3 click transformed. I'd want one but I'd doubt yamato will charge sub $200 for it. Edited February 22, 2009 by isa_o Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

isa_o Posted February 22, 2009 Share Posted February 22, 2009 lol. Happy more so that they are coming out with one, but in this economy price point will make or break it at least for me. ummm... OK.

Cyclone Trooper Posted February 22, 2009 Share Posted February 22, 2009 Economic factors ARE something to take into consideration. I was thinking about what Vifam7 said...and he may be right. We're all naive to think that something this big is going to be a mass-production item. A two-foot SDF-1 is most likely going to be a limited-edition item with a hefty price tag. EXO's also right. If this thing ends up being ridiculously cost-prohibitive for those who don't live in the Pacific Rim...then we have two options: 1) get a 1/1000 WAVE version; and/or 2) forget the Yamato version even exists. But before we all panic about how many of our first-borns we'll have to sell into slavery to get one of these...let's wait for The-Powers-That-Be at Yamato to quote an MSRP on this monster...

nightmareB4macross Posted February 22, 2009 Share Posted February 22, 2009 Oh yeah, this baby is coming home to my house. I hope it's not too hefty on weight.
