ff95gj Posted April 29, 2010 Share Posted April 29, 2010 i believe snake meant that it's possible to make a regular release one at around US$200 as Bandai have shown w/ their DX Quarter. ... and an SDF-1 in the same size and price as the DX Quarter is perfectly fine w/ me. I hope the size to be in the MQ's range too. Otherwise storage is a BIG problem for me... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ruskiiVFaussie Posted April 29, 2010 Share Posted April 29, 2010 I don't want it smaller hahahahah, bigger dammit! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thom Posted April 29, 2010 Share Posted April 29, 2010 I'd agree with the Quarter's size. Not too small and not too big for the shelf. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boyarque Posted April 30, 2010 Share Posted April 30, 2010 I'd agree with the Quarter's size. Not too small and not too big for the shelf. Second that...and most importantly, not too big for my budget, lol! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyclone Trooper Posted April 30, 2010 Share Posted April 30, 2010 If this thing is remaining at 1/2000 scale, I'm not even going to psyche myself up with the false hope that it's going to be anywhere near affordable for my budget. My wife epically denied me buying the prototype, so I'm pretty sure the mass-production version will fall under that same "you aren't gonna blow $2k on a plastic toy" category in her book...

505thAirborne Posted April 30, 2010 Share Posted April 30, 2010 Hopefully Yamato goes with a 1/3000 scale like the Original Takatoku SDF-1. Again, not to huge & not to tiny with plenty of room for detail & features. Would certainly keep the cost far lower. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vi-RS Posted May 1, 2010 Share Posted May 1, 2010 They have made enough money from previous limited release for $2000 a pop to fund the mass production molds.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ruskiiVFaussie Posted May 1, 2010 Share Posted May 1, 2010 wonder if we should wait for the movie colour version... lol scary thought tho mass produced sdf`1s.. cfsdf`1.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MacrossMan Posted May 1, 2010 Share Posted May 1, 2010 wonder if we should wait for the movie colour version... lol scary thought tho mass produced sdf`1s.. cfsdf`1.. Ha! Surely for this price they plan to only produce it in one variation...but I guess that all depends on how many are willing to shell out $2000 for whichever comes first. LED's would definitely put it on my want/have to get list. We'll just have to see... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uxi Posted May 3, 2010 Share Posted May 3, 2010 Love those colors. LEDs would make it great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyclone Trooper Posted May 3, 2010 Share Posted May 3, 2010 SO does it actually have LEDs? Nope. Those look like they were photoshopped into the pic along with the " motion haze" around the SDF-1, the Earth in the background and the big blue laser bolt.

Valkyrie addict Posted May 4, 2010 Share Posted May 4, 2010 Would suck big time for the collectors who have their limited 1/2000 resin prototype under their mattress and payed +2000USD for Yamato to come with a production version that could be cheaper by mass production Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know it would have been in mine. And to tell you the truth, depending on how much it was (if released) and I got the resin version, I probably have enough money to get a mass production one if I had the cash to buy the protoype replica.

m0n5t3r Posted May 4, 2010 Share Posted May 4, 2010 i personally think we should be thanking those guys (and their deep pockets) who bought the $2k SDF-1. if you think about it, they're partly funding Yamato's continued efforts/plans to make a mass production SDF-1.

Lott Sheen Posted May 4, 2010 Share Posted May 4, 2010 haha, what about the guy that sold a kidney or borrowed money from the mob to get the prototype? Well I doubt any mass production version will be build out of the hi grade polymers that the prototype was made out of anyway so first adopters could still be `elite` in any mass production scenario.

ff95gj Posted May 4, 2010 Share Posted May 4, 2010 I believe Yamato would not simply yamatoed their fans - the mass production model would certainly inferior in some ways. I still think it is a smaller scale. The previous technical difficulties to mass production were owe to its size, more or less. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ruskiiVFaussie Posted May 4, 2010 Share Posted May 4, 2010 (edited) We'll get bigger pics, we'll know then if it's inferior. I just want the city detail in the legs dammit. That and the main bridge big enough to modify some nice lighting inside. My "upgrades" will include - Speaker System/Ipod dock internal multi LED locations, Bridge lighting, Leg Main Thruster and Back Thrusters LED lighting etc. and one BAD ASS mod which i'm not sure if i can do yet... it WILL blow your minds i'm certain of it. I don't care how long it will take me to get it done or atleast worked out, i'm gonna have fun! Please Yamato.

Javabean Posted May 4, 2010 Share Posted May 4, 2010 (edited) I wonder whether this mass produce come fully assembled, unlike the 1st release that requires it. Edited May 4, 2010 by Javabean Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valkyrie addict Posted May 4, 2010 Share Posted May 4, 2010 Nah...I don't feel like thanking people who condone Yamato overpriced antics If people who have just say, I'm not going to buy your big chunk of UNFINISHED resin, Yamato would have found another way to try and fill the niche market for SDF-1 fans BTW, IF Yamato comes with a production 1/2000 SDF-1, people must be equivalently Yamatoed to the SDF-1 scale...

Give us a break Yamato please! SO does it actually have LEDs? When is it due for release? I hope they use the $2000 they got from the people who bought it, to help bring down the cost of this thing. I would have been able to justify getting one if it was a completed toy. But even then It's very hard to swallon 2G's for a couple of months...

Radd Posted May 6, 2010 Share Posted May 6, 2010 I'm still not interested if it's $2k. If it's a reasonable price I'll be pre-ordering and clearing out a special spot on my display shelves. I've been wanting a good quality movie version SDF-1 toy for ages. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duymon Posted May 6, 2010 Share Posted May 6, 2010 if you can spend 2300 for the toy you can spend an extra 100-200 commissioning somebody to paint it up for you I guess Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
