505thAirborne Posted May 16, 2009 Posted May 16, 2009 So... Anything new about the SDF-1? It's been over 6 weeks since the last post... I know its been a while. Since this SDF-1 isn't due til sometime next year, I guess Yamato is taking its time on any other picture releases. Would be nice to see a Storm Attacker pose though!!
VF-18S Hornet Posted May 17, 2009 Posted May 17, 2009 (edited) OMG!!!!! !Lord yes they finally finally started with a prototype. Why oh why didn't I pay attetion to this thread when it was first posted jeez it's so huge I don't know if I will be able to display it. Have to sell all my 1/48 and dwowngrade to 1/60 scale to add more room. Edited May 17, 2009 by VF-18S Hornet

derex3592 Posted May 17, 2009 Posted May 17, 2009 Looks VERY cool and all, but why go with this first and not a TV version???? I'm gonna hold out...you know it's coming sooner or later!
Cyclone Trooper Posted May 17, 2009 Posted May 17, 2009 I know its been a while. Since this SDF-1 isn't due til sometime next year, I guess Yamato is taking its time on any other picture releases. Would be nice to see a Storm Attacker pose though!! Oh I know. It's just that since the prototype has been making the rounds to all the hobby shows lately, I was thinking that eventually we'd get to see this gargantuan beauty in Storm Attacker mode at some point...
505thAirborne Posted May 18, 2009 Posted May 18, 2009 can't wait to see it's final pics.. Same here!! I sure the Arms are super reinforced to support all that weight. For its price tag any floppiness is unacceptable!!
eyesonme78 Posted May 18, 2009 Posted May 18, 2009 Any ideas what price tag would it be? I just hope the price tag is something i can afford.. but with the size and the gimmicks i really hope it would not costs so much to get one..
Retracting Head Ter Ter Posted May 18, 2009 Posted May 18, 2009 (edited) I am not so much worried about the price. I am more worried it would join its buddy the prototype Yamato 1/60 Monster in the Yamato cold-storage-store-room. You know, with the recession and all, some exec might just get cold feet.

Cyclone Trooper Posted May 18, 2009 Posted May 18, 2009 (edited) eyesonme78...last anyone heard, the SDF-1 was being given a 50,000 yen price tag. As of today, the exchange rate puts it at right at $520.00 US (actual current price is $519.57). And that's not even factoring in shipping on this thing. Retracting Head Tar Tar...a few of us have been thinking the same thing: 1.) Releasing a prototype (and pics thereof) over a year before it's supposed to hit store shelves (like Yamato did with the Monster)... 2.) Giving a uber-expensive MSRP on it (again, like the Monster). 3.) After the initial buzz at a few hobby shows, its never seen nor spoken of again. 4.) Yamato slipped it under Graham's radar completely. There are just things about this that seem to be a case of history repeating itself. Granted, in this case, not a whole lot of time has passed since its announcement, but still...there could be a good chance that this will end up being vaporware. Or it will end up being a limited-edition Japan-only exclusive...knowing our luck. Edited May 18, 2009 by Cyclone Trooper
eriku Posted May 18, 2009 Posted May 18, 2009 Well, I'd actually be quite happy if history repeated itself and Yamato shelved this beast in favor of a smaller and easier to afford/handle/display version. I wouldn't want WAVE small (I hated that toy) but something around the size of the original Takatoku SDF-1 would be fine by me.
azrael Posted May 18, 2009 Posted May 18, 2009 4.) Yamato slipped it under Graham's radar completely. Granted if Graham doesn't ask, then they're not going to say anything to him.

I wouldn't want WAVE small (I hated that toy) but something around the size of the original Takatoku SDF-1 would be fine by me. I don't know.. You see, I'll admit is neat- okay, mind-blowing, but then I have no interest in a purchase what so ever..it's just too much. BUt that said, there is still a part of me that would still be disappointed to not see this come to some sort of fruition.
ntsan Posted May 19, 2009 Posted May 19, 2009 Well at least Macross Quarter is on the right size.. and more affordable
OmegaD3k Posted May 19, 2009 Posted May 19, 2009 Already got half the price saved up for this beast. By the time this is out it shouldn't be an issue. Bring on the SDF-1!!
geepogi Posted May 21, 2009 Posted May 21, 2009 thank god im single you'll sleep with this in your bed? just kidding.
VFTF1 Posted May 21, 2009 Posted May 21, 2009 I'm not getting it unless they do it in TV collors. Pete
Lonely Soldier Boy Posted May 21, 2009 Posted May 21, 2009 I'm not getting it unless they do it in TV collors. Pete Would you buy a DYRL SDF-1 in TV colors? You're weird.
EXO Posted May 21, 2009 Author Posted May 21, 2009 Man. I'd get a Macross in purple and green... just sell it already!!!
SchizophrenicMC Posted May 21, 2009 Posted May 21, 2009 (edited) Man. I'd get a Macross in purple and green... just sell it already!!! Instead, why not get it in BOMBAAA!!! Edited May 21, 2009 by SchizophrenicMC
EXO Posted May 21, 2009 Author Posted May 21, 2009 Instead, why not get it in BOMBAAA!!! I guess I can wait...
blacklotus Posted May 21, 2009 Posted May 21, 2009 Instead, why not get it in BOMBAAA!!! I just saw my breakfast on the floor. BTW, just want to know, how does sound travel in cold empty space? Or are those special speakers that energise subatomic masses to hypnotise the enemy?

Or are those special speakers that energise subatomic masses to hypnotise the enemy? It's the simple law of BOMBAA!!! And that law is that Basara is allowed to break any and all laws of science, except Chuck Norris. Edited May 21, 2009 by SchizophrenicMC
505thAirborne Posted May 21, 2009 Posted May 21, 2009 Instead, why not get it in BOMBAAA!!! Zoinks SchizophrenicMC, Thats like someone spraying graffiti on the Sistine Chapels mural!!! I thinks its safe to say we'll wait till it comes out in DYRL colors!!!
Retracting Head Ter Ter Posted May 21, 2009 Posted May 21, 2009 Will you guys stop pasting that picture and the BOMMBAAA! over and over again?!?!
wolfx Posted May 21, 2009 Posted May 21, 2009 I just saw my breakfast on the floor. BTW, just want to know, how does sound travel in cold empty space? Or are those special speakers that energise subatomic masses to hypnotise the enemy? That's what speakerpods valks are for. It fires them out, it rams into the enemy then transmits the sounds wirelessly.
VFTF1 Posted May 21, 2009 Posted May 21, 2009 BTW, just want to know, how does sound travel in cold empty space? Or are those special speakers that energise subatomic masses to hypnotise the enemy? Well - with the Minmei attack, the SDF-1 just broadcast the songs over Zendradi frequency. And I think once Bretai offered his help, the power of the broadcasts increased since I'm sure Bretai had ample equipment and knowledge of Zendradi communications to broadcast the songs to at least his entire fleet, if not the entire Boldoza fleet. You could ask "why didn't they just turn it off?" But that's ridiculous. If Lyn Minmei, wearing that pink dress, started nodding and winking at you while singing a love song... would you turn her off? Pete
Kicker773 Posted May 21, 2009 Posted May 21, 2009 No i wouldn't, then again.. my expectations are little bit higher.. she better wear something more nicer than what she had on...lol.. like the one she wore on Flashback.. tights
sharky Posted May 21, 2009 Posted May 21, 2009 you'll sleep with this in your bed? just kidding. I know you have to be kidding as you say. He wouldn't "sleep". I'm sure he would be transforming that thing well into the night.

VF-18S Hornet Posted May 25, 2009 Posted May 25, 2009 Instead, why not get it in BOMBAAA!!! I have been wondering why he came up with a name like SchizophrenicMC, now I know why. He is crazy
