CF18 Posted June 20, 2009 Posted June 20, 2009 How about a 1:1 version for the 30th anniversary? Just remember don't bring it to Ontario.
hirohawa Posted June 21, 2009 Posted June 21, 2009 (edited) They have a smaller version - it was made by Takatoku 27 years ago. Also the newer crappy Wave one. There would be no point to making ANOTHER small one. Look at the Jumbo Gundams - they have no problem selling those for $300 for a giant piece of Vinyl. Go big Yamato.

Radd Posted June 21, 2009 Posted June 21, 2009 (edited) I would not have been disappointed if Yamato had shown off one the size of the old Takatoku/Matchbox Macross (1/1200 I think?). I would have been disappointed if they showed one off that was any smaller. As for the size they did show off, well....I've already set aside the money for it. If it is going to be $500 or so, however, I hope it's worth it. I don't think they need to make the transformation overly complex, the Macross never had a very complex transformation, but I'd love extras, like light up windows. I'd LOVE light up windows and running lights. That would be fantastic. Being able to see a bit of Macross City inside the leg windows would be superb, too. Hope we're able to move the gun turrets and that the ARMDs are detachable, too. (Future Daedalus and Prometheus release?) Not so interested in the tiny Valkyries. Afraid they'll get lost easily.

ruskiiVFaussie Posted June 21, 2009 Posted June 21, 2009 (edited) No there has got to be a valk squad and atleast a few tomos and defenders, and one BIG mac II. Edited June 21, 2009 by ruskiiVFaussie
EXO Posted June 21, 2009 Author Posted June 21, 2009 I wouldn't build a diorama around the 1/2000. I'd build a shrine.
ruskiiVFaussie Posted June 21, 2009 Posted June 21, 2009 (edited) haha now your talking EXO mate. I'll throw down the dare now, let us compete for the ultimate Macross Island/Mars/Lake/etc dio! Wish we'd get a damn date for the release. Edited June 21, 2009 by ruskiiVFaussie

David Hingtgen Posted June 21, 2009 Posted June 21, 2009 I'd buy a nice, new, small *TV* version in an instant. I still like the TV version better if for no other reason than a superior transformation/cruiser mode. It actually looks like a ship. DYRL version looks like battroid laying face-down.
Radd Posted June 22, 2009 Posted June 22, 2009 I've really never gotten that. The differences between the two are mostly skin-deep cosmetic changes. I don't see the DYRL Macross looking any less like a ship in cruiser mode than the SDF:M version. If anything, the changes to colour and details made the DYRL version look more like a battleship to me.

If the world only had one battleship, and nobody important expected to actually have to use the thing in their own lifetimes as anything more than an advert for global unification, it wouldn't be painted grey.

Why would they waste a million (?) litres of paint or whatever when the standard metal colour is good enough. Edited June 22, 2009 by ruskiiVFaussie
eyesonme78 Posted June 22, 2009 Posted June 22, 2009 besides all this discussion, any newer news on the SDF-1 itself?
SchizophrenicMC Posted June 22, 2009 Posted June 22, 2009 wtf not? Why would they waste a million (?) litres of paint or whatever when the standard metal colour is good enough. Well, think about this, though: many many countries have red in their flag. I propose it be painted BOMBAA!!!
miriya Posted June 22, 2009 Posted June 22, 2009 I'd buy a nice, new, small *TV* version in an instant.

I agree about the cruiser mode.
SchizophrenicMC Posted June 22, 2009 Posted June 22, 2009 slaps own face in disbelief And with that, I'll stop this image macroing.
505thAirborne Posted June 22, 2009 Posted June 22, 2009 SchizophrenicMC strikes again!! Though we haven't seen the Attack mode pics of the DYRL SDF-1. I was looking at my 1/3000 Bandai version last night, and I have to admit... I wanna see a TV SDF-1 actually a little more. The just amount of details that could put into it makes ones own mind go bananas!!

ruskiiVFaussie Posted June 23, 2009 Posted June 23, 2009 (edited) lol agree, i want a TV sdf-1 just as bad. DYRL? style is imo alot more iconic, you see it EVERYWHERE, all the way to the 2080s, and sadly the TV SDF-1 only once. Would be cool if Shoji could fit in the TV SDF-1 in a new OVA one day, and rest the DRYL? style for once. Maybe if he did get bored and wanted to revisit Macross II he could bring her up in the uh *coughSEQUELcough* Edited June 23, 2009 by ruskiiVFaussie
505thAirborne Posted June 25, 2009 Posted June 25, 2009 Interesting, a MAC II sequel or a MAC II remake so the story fits properly in the time line. The TV SDF-1 with modern Anime CGI artwork. I'd watch it. And buy a 1/2000 SDF-1 toy!!
VF-18S Hornet Posted July 5, 2009 Posted July 5, 2009 Well, think about this, though: many many countries have red in their flag. I propose it be painted BOMBAA!!! Oh god!! here we go again.
VF-18S Hornet Posted July 5, 2009 Posted July 5, 2009 More importantly where are the pictures shouldn't they have that thing transfromed yet? and would someone please delete that second post it was an accident while attempting to edit

UN Spacy Posted September 1, 2009 Posted September 1, 2009 The SDF-1 Macross....breaking Japan's censorship rules for the last 25 years and still going strong.
SchizophrenicMC Posted September 1, 2009 Posted September 1, 2009 Is it just me or does it look like they haven't messed with its size?
Agent-GHQ Posted September 1, 2009 Posted September 1, 2009 You're delusional Jr.! No way your folks gonna drop $500 bucks for this beast on ya. lol
