blacklotus Posted May 25, 2009 Posted May 25, 2009 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 Point taken. I definitely won't turn her off. Then again, considering how old I am now, and balding as well, I think I will turn her off. The phrase 'DOM' comes to mind nowadays. Unfortunately, real humans cannot stay youthful forever. Maybe that's why there's a recent surge in the number of handsome/beautiful people committing suicide.
eyesonme78 Posted May 27, 2009 Posted May 27, 2009 Any new updates? like price pics? I think i would appreciate the news.. cause still hunting for a decent SDF-1..
Cyclone Trooper Posted May 29, 2009 Posted May 29, 2009 (edited) Any new updates? like price pics? I think i would appreciate the news.. cause still hunting for a decent SDF-1.. When it was first announced and started making its rounds at the hobby shows in Japan, Yamato reps were quoting an MSRP of 50,000 yen. As of today, the exchange rate puts the price at $522.77 (plus probably $30 to $60 for shipping, considering the nearly 2 1/2 foot length of the thing). But no "official" price has been given yet. So there ya go...a ballpark figure to shoot for. ...plus an extra $75 for the exclusive "Bomba" paint scheme. Edited May 29, 2009 by Cyclone Trooper
ultimateone Posted May 29, 2009 Posted May 29, 2009 I've already started saving for this. I really can't wait. Maybe when they see something this big do well they'll bring the 1/60 Monster back from the grave...

Back on topic: I guess no word on making a TV version?

Dangard Ace Posted June 6, 2009 Posted June 6, 2009 I don't see anything here in the last few post that have ANYTHING to do with the 1/2000 DYRL. Stay on topic.
ruskiiVFaussie Posted June 7, 2009 Posted June 7, 2009 What is the date set by Yamato for release of this baby?? I might even place the convention around it's release for next year, be a smart move i reckon.

I'm just going to wait for actual figures to show up. I don't think any toy that size wuould cost that much. Sure it's big for a Macross toy but I've seen bigger toys go for much less.

I don't think any toy that size wuould cost that much. Sure it's big for a Macross toy but I've seen bigger toys go for much less. How likely is this to go the way of the 1/60 Monster? Or if this does make to the store and sells well, would that increase the likelihood that the Monster may be brought back to life (Punny, I know)?? I really really want this... almost as much as the Monster.
Graham Posted June 16, 2009 Posted June 16, 2009 It's still coming, but there is some internal discussion going on at the moment regarding some possible changes. Graham
ultimateone Posted June 16, 2009 Posted June 16, 2009 It's still coming, but there is some internal discussion going on at the moment regarding some possible changes. Graham If it's the SDF (which I assume) I hope they throw in more mini's to pose around the outside. /I'm a sucker for minis. If it's the Monster, they can do whatever, who cares!! 1/60 monster!!!!!
blacklotus Posted June 16, 2009 Posted June 16, 2009 Between the SDF and 1/60 Monster selling at the same price point, I will definitely buy the 1/60 Monster (or 2 or 3) and KIV the SDF.
ruskiiVFaussie Posted June 16, 2009 Posted June 16, 2009 (edited) This is my ultra fav pic, the Macross IS monstrous and legendary (ofcourse it is) and THIS is why i want a 1/2000. Ahh i can't wait! Edited June 16, 2009 by ruskiiVFaussie

My favourite picture too. The TV series should have ended here, instead of continuing with the "Hmm, I think I should cheat on Misa with Minmay as Minmay's still the girl for me, even though I just risked my life 1 episode ago to save Misa from a collapsing Star Wars Laser base because she's my 1 true love" scenario.

ruskiiVFaussie Posted June 16, 2009 Posted June 16, 2009 (edited) I like DYRL? for this reason, gives us an alternate ending to mix and match with the tv series. Edited June 16, 2009 by ruskiiVFaussie
Graham Posted June 16, 2009 Posted June 16, 2009 What's coming the SDF or the MONSTER? SDF-1. However, there is some internal discussion going on at the moment, as to whether to keep it at 1/2000 or make it a bit smaller and thus more affordable and easier for people to display. Personally, I'm on the side that says make it smaller. I think 1/3000 or 1/3500 would be fine. Graham
Sluff Posted June 16, 2009 Posted June 16, 2009 I agree, make it smaller and I think the arms should be removable

Personally, I'm on the side that says make it smaller. I think 1/3000 or 1/3500 would be fine. Graham This is difficult. I for one think 1/2000 is too big to keep or display. On the other hand, the 1/2000 size is fking massive and impressive that it would wow anyone who sees it. But then I think many people would give up because it's too big (difficult to justify with wives or parents). I agree that 1/3000 would be nice enough and more "easy" to buy.

For years many of us have wanted to acquire a larger SDF that towers over our collections (myself included) and now there is talk of a smaller 1/3000 version. Lame. Keep it 1/2000 and just make improvements on it with more details and whatnot. Either way, if Yamato is going to release a 1/2000 or 1/3000 it is going to be expensive. Just by making it smaller does not justify it to anyone else but ourselves. In a narrow perspective I'd think you'ld get more bang for the buck on the 1/2000, even at $500 a pop.
wizartar Posted June 16, 2009 Posted June 16, 2009 (edited) I don't care what scale this badboy is so long as it's bigger then a Transformers G1 Fortress Maximus! Edited June 16, 2009 by wizartar

Graham Graham Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo, i want BIG!!! lol If you did this is the FIRSt time i don't want Yamato to listen to you. lol Keep it big or make it BIGGER. AND what of the 1/2000 valks? make them even smaller? LAME. Let's VOTE. Edited June 16, 2009 by ruskiiVFaussie
ff95gj Posted June 16, 2009 Posted June 16, 2009 (edited) I am just speaking on behalf of a community with a small home... I would have wished for a 1/2000 if I am still living in North America (studied university there), a whole basement to be filled up. But now as a poor soul living in a crowded city (Tokyo, Hong Kong) I find a 1/2000 SDF appealing but difficult. No flames please! Edited June 16, 2009 by ff95gj
