Mog Posted May 14, 2010 Share Posted May 14, 2010 BTW the 1:3000 SDF-1 is still way bigger than the 1:48 VF-1 - 40cm long SDF-1 ship mode v.s. 29cm long VF-1 fighter mode. But what about in Attacker mode? Is the SDF-1 gonna "look" taller than a 1/48 battroid? Nothing personal or anything, but it's a personal pet peeve of mine when people forget to account for the length of the main guns. About a third of that 40cm length is the main guns, so I'm a little worried that the Macross will come up a bit short when standing next to a 1/48 battroid. As for this latest SDF-1 news? I'm still holding out for a TV-style version. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Radd Posted May 14, 2010 Share Posted May 14, 2010 I'm disappointed the mass production appears to be down-sized, but if we get it at a reasonable price I'll get over it. I'm hoping that it's at least as tall as the Quarter, bridge to bridge. I would be perfectly fine with that. If it's only that big, it better be comparable in price, tho. I was ready and willing to spend $500 when it was huge, not so much if it's only as large as the Quarter. Less so if it winds up smaller than that, even.

jenius Posted May 15, 2010 Share Posted May 15, 2010 This thing shouldn't cost any more than the DX Quarter. The DX quarter has functioning gun turrets and some solid metal joints with ratchets and seems to be similar (if not more) complicated in design.

ron5864 Posted May 16, 2010 Share Posted May 16, 2010 The 1/3000 scale is 33% smaller than the 1/2000 scale. If the 1/2000 version is around $2000, should the 1/3000 scale at least cost 33% less? But that still means the 1/3000 scale will have to be less than $1333. But this price is just an extrapolation. I expect it to be around $500 or 50,000yen.

I expect it to be around $500 or 50,000yen. Doesn't really work like that either way. If it's 2/3 the size then it's 2/3 the height, 2/3 the width and 2/3 the depth. So 8/27 ratio volumetrically. Which puts it into the 70 000jpy range... However the 1/2000 is HDR and the 1/3000 is ABS, at least I expect so anyway. That will be the main influence as I understand it. So 50 000jpy could actually be roughly right. Edited May 16, 2010 by Tober Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just in case anyone is taking comments like these seriously, this reasoning leads us to believe the 1/48 with GBP armour cost about $800 usd. I know I didn't pay that much for mine.

Hikaru VF-1S Posted May 19, 2010 Share Posted May 19, 2010 Front view of 1/3000 DYRL SDF-1 NICEEEEE Thanks for posting that picture. I've been waiting for Yamato to tackle the SDF-1, after a decade it's here. Hopefully at a more resonable price, but chances of that are slim, with no competitors. I mean Bandai has the MF line but even that is not a direct competitor to what Yamato is making. And Toynami, enough said. I apologize for going on a tangent, but I'm loving the fact we have a new SDF-1 coming... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
