sharky Posted March 23, 2009 Posted March 23, 2009 wow, this maybe the last toy i will get for macross I said that when Yamato first started making valks.
eugimon Posted March 23, 2009 Posted March 23, 2009 I said that when Yamato first started making valks. hahaha, I said the exact same thing, "I'll just get this one 1/48 VF-1s..."
MacrossJunkie Posted March 24, 2009 Posted March 24, 2009 hahaha, I said the exact same thing, "I'll just get this one 1/48 VF-1s..." Macross toys are like potato chips... you never can have just one
Kremmen Posted March 24, 2009 Posted March 24, 2009 It looks a bit chunky undereath those front gun booms. That is because it is the ugly DYRL version, as we have discussed... Sorry, can't help myself. ;p
ron5864 Posted March 25, 2009 Posted March 25, 2009 Those ARMDs look like the size of a 1/48 valk. This is way too epic!!
Kyp Durron Posted March 25, 2009 Posted March 25, 2009 That is because it is the ugly DYRL version, as we have discussed... Sorry, can't help myself. ;p It's OK man, I know how you feel. I like the DRYL version, no, scratch that, I can LIVE with the DRYL version, but the T.V. version shape-wise just looks so much better to me. -Kyp

I like the DRYL version, no, scratch that, I can LIVE with the DRYL version, but the T.V. version shape-wise just looks so much better to me. -Kyp I (kind of) decided to hold my breath and NOT buying this one, in case they really issue a TV version later. No, I can't have 2 SDFs in my home. I don't know even if I have space for one! 1/2000 SDFs are Space-Demanding-Fkers! P.S. As usual, I don't know how long I can hold my breath.
Smiley424 Posted March 25, 2009 Posted March 25, 2009 Haven't been so excited over a Macross Toy since the original 1/60s first hit the scene. Waiting for some Storm Attack pics.
EXO Posted March 25, 2009 Author Posted March 25, 2009 Those ARMDs look like the size of a 1/48 valk. This is way too epic!! I'm used to having to display big mecha toys...
CF18 Posted March 25, 2009 Posted March 25, 2009 Look at those surface detail on the ARMD! For other pages in the magazine: http://www.macrossworld.com/mwf/index.php?...st&p=730873
Kicker773 Posted March 25, 2009 Posted March 25, 2009 Holy mother of god....I am so picking this up!... the detail... the detail.....glad i held back on buying that freakn helmet... can't wait to get this Monster
Knight26 Posted March 25, 2009 Posted March 25, 2009 Yee hairy gods, I want this so bad, Walgreens pay up for breaking by bitty!!!!
kyatsu Posted March 26, 2009 Posted March 26, 2009 i think i am seriously done with buying toys after i buy the macross. its time to start saving serious money for other stuff for me buying a house and start saving for early retirement but that wouldnt be so bad because the macross looks so totally awesome I said that when Yamato first started making valks.
Hikaru VF-1S Posted March 26, 2009 Posted March 26, 2009 Just wow... that's amazing. The details and those mini fighters are awesome.
anime52k8 Posted March 26, 2009 Posted March 26, 2009 Look at those surface detail on the ARMD! For other pages in the magazine: http://www.macrossworld.com/mwf/index.php?...st&p=730873 the 1/2000 fighters actually look pretty good now that pictures big enough for them to not be specks.
ron5864 Posted March 26, 2009 Posted March 26, 2009 Resistance is futile! Must get 1/2000 Macross. Must save money. The ARMD is bigger than that 1/60 VF-1D. Oh my gosh, I can only imagine the shipping charge for this thing when I order this next year!
Kicker773 Posted March 26, 2009 Posted March 26, 2009 Watching DYRL with my bro and we both just noticed that in the movie part where Hikaru and Misa comes back to the SDF1 and Global talks to them, as he stands up from his chair you can literally see a version of the SDF1 just like the one that yamato is coming out with. The size and length is about the same. Check it out!

The size and length is about the same. Check it out! Haahaa , nice find. Although I think the Yamato SDF1 maybe a little bigger than this one. Should we expect a 'blue' stand like this one then, Yamato?
transfan52 Posted March 26, 2009 Posted March 26, 2009 All I can say is WOW this looks quite expensive... Hopefully it doesn't reach the 500 dollar mark otherwise I ain't buying it. It looks to be made out of mostly plastic... I can't see yamato putting metal on this figure because that would make this toy waay too expensive for most ppl. If it ever does come out hopefully it has no QC issues.
macsam Posted March 26, 2009 Posted March 26, 2009 Just wow... that's amazing. The details and those mini fighters are awesome. i would prefer to see the fighters on landing gears. something about those suction cup stands makes it look out of place. minor complaint, otherwise the piece looks incredible!!
eriku Posted March 26, 2009 Posted March 26, 2009 I think Yamato needs more experience with nanotechnology before they can put landing gear on 1/2000 valks.
Lonely Soldier Boy Posted March 26, 2009 Posted March 26, 2009 The bridge window is made of clear plastic. Great move there, Yamato.
EXO Posted March 26, 2009 Author Posted March 26, 2009 April 1st is coming... I hope Yamato doesnt announce that this is all an elaborate joke...
Dangard Ace Posted March 26, 2009 Posted March 26, 2009 You know we're all going to blame YOU since you started this thread.
Cent Posted March 26, 2009 Posted March 26, 2009 (edited) I'd rather not have Yamato bump up the price any more than it is for the sake of adding sticky landing gears to the 1/2000 VF-1s. If you really want them, scratch build the landing gears. The new detail shots really make the SDF tempting. Edited March 26, 2009 by Cent
505thAirborne Posted March 26, 2009 Posted March 26, 2009 If Yamato offered this SDF-1 as a April fools joke, I think they would pi$$ a lot people off!! Pricey as this one may be, I'm getting one!!!
macsam Posted March 26, 2009 Posted March 26, 2009 it would be funny if the announcement came out to say that it will be released in the form of a model kit. Put it together yourself.... that's what happened with the large scale 1/350 Space Yamato from years past. so you never know....
sharky Posted March 27, 2009 Posted March 27, 2009 I know this is Yamato we're talking about, but I can't read Japanese. Is there anything that actually says that this is transformable or not. To date, I've not seen any transformed pics. I'm hoping it's because this is still an early prototype.

doodler7 Posted March 27, 2009 Posted March 27, 2009 Funny, just a couple of years ago I posted to one of these topics about a 1/2000 SDF-1...and now, BAM! I do hope that this is not an April fools joke. And I think this photo, http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/images/cms...27/p1120362.jpg is the actual size once transformed. Considering the amount of plastic on this one and hopefully metal joints on stress-heavy areas, I think the price will significantly rise with increased detail. I would guess $539.99 USD I sold my 1/3000 matchbox SDF-1, I'd like to get this one now. It'll be my biggest toy purchase, surpassing my $335 BT-17. I'll definitely need to do some explaining to the wife about childhood memories once this bad boy comes around.
Evanta Posted March 27, 2009 Posted March 27, 2009 (edited) If Yamato offered this SDF-1 as a April fools joke, I think they would pi$$ a lot people off!! Pricey as this one may be, I'm getting one!!! I'll be completely shell-shocked for days and not be able to say a word if they did so. Then I'll take a katana, fly to Yamato office, kill all the execs, then commit suicide with the prototype 1/2000 SDF-1 in my hands... IF I CAN'T GET IT, NOBODY WILL!!! Edited March 27, 2009 by Evanta
EXO Posted April 1, 2009 Author Posted April 1, 2009 hey Graham, what time is Yamato's April 1st announcement over there???
D_Unit Posted April 1, 2009 Posted April 1, 2009 (edited) April Fools, that? Not gonna happen. If by an infinitely small and retarded astronomical chance that was to happen, Yamato would be committing the most colossal act of corporate suicide in the history of corporations. In other words... nice try. In this sagging economy, a more believable joke would be that Yamato will be giving away free GN-U's with an early pre-order of an SDF-1... that or free burgers at McD's. Edited April 1, 2009 by D_Unit
Cyclone Trooper 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...
