ae_productions Posted January 27, 2011 Posted January 27, 2011 This reminds me of growing up in the Philippines when all the rich kids at school were bringing in their giant Chogokins of Voltes V and Mazinger Z and I'd just look over their shoulders and drool. Thanks MW... thanks for bringing back that childhood trauma I buried deep inside. OH NICE! Damn those repressed memories! Ha ha!
Kicker773 Posted January 27, 2011 Posted January 27, 2011 Exo is Filipino? Could have sworn he was from another planet. LOL
Uxi Posted January 28, 2011 Posted January 28, 2011 Really hope we get a TV color adaption with Daedalus and Prometheus
VF-18S Hornet Posted January 31, 2011 Posted January 31, 2011 (edited) Really hope we get a TV color adaption with Daedalus and Prometheus I know every time I look at my SDF-1 I hope the make a TV Macross soon with line art accurate Deadalus and Prometheus. Edited January 31, 2011 by VF-18S Hornet

do not disturb Posted February 1, 2011 Posted February 1, 2011 this is pretty cool but i'm still waiting to win megamillions. when i win that i'll get this, along with all the other macross goodies i've been missing out on in the last couple of years.

I know! I'm dying to get that new SDF-1, but that price point just hurts... and that's just one of a ton of toys I want!

Damn son... you win the megamillions, might as well go to the 1/2000 thread.

UN Spacy Posted February 2, 2011 Posted February 2, 2011 If I won the lottery I'd pay off Yamato to cover the costs of design, tooling, molding, etc for a 1/3000 tv Macross, all my dream 1/60's starting with the VF-4, then VF-0D, VF-14, a v2.0 VF-11C that can support Protect Armor, a 1/4000 New Macross Class Battleship WITH attached city or islands, and VF-2SS.
Xx-SKULL-ONE-xX Posted February 2, 2011 Posted February 2, 2011 If I won the lottery I'd pay off Yamato to cover the costs of design, tooling, molding, etc for a 1/3000 tv Macross, all my dream 1/60's starting with the VF-4, then VF-0D, VF-14, a v2.0 VF-11C that can support Protect Armor, a 1/4000 New Macross Class Battleship WITH attached city or islands, and VF-2SS. I like all these ideas. Please proceed with winning the lottery.
Uxi Posted February 3, 2011 Posted February 3, 2011 You could probably hire TREX to design them directly for you and skip the Yamato
UN Spacy Posted February 3, 2011 Posted February 3, 2011 HLJ just got a fresh shipment. http://www.hlj.com/product/YMT00211
UN Spacy Posted February 5, 2011 Posted February 5, 2011 Barely a day later and it's already low stock at HLJ. AmiAmi just got FIVE of them in. I wonder how long they'll be around. http://www.amiami.jp/shop/?set=english&vgForm=ProductInfo&sku=TOY-RBT-1261&template=default/product/e_display.html
KiriK Posted February 5, 2011 Posted February 5, 2011 so my SDF-1 didn't come with any instructions so i can't put on all the extra parts and pieces. While i'm waiting to hear back if i can get a replacement copy, would it be possible for someone to scan the instruction pages for putting on the extra parts for the SDF-1? I'd appreciate it mucho!
CF18 Posted February 5, 2011 Posted February 5, 2011 (edited) The front page review has hi-res scan of all pages: http://www.macrossworld.com/macross/toys/Yamato_SDF-1/SDF_1_review.htm Personally I found part 35, 11, and 5 needed a little cutting treatment to fit them in nicely, so be careful with them or they may pop off and jump to a place you can't find... And part 5 is the one really needed glue to stay on. Edited February 5, 2011 by CF18
Kyp Durron Posted February 5, 2011 Posted February 5, 2011 I know every time I look at my SDF-1 I hope the make a TV Macross soon with line art accurate Deadalus and Prometheus. That's what I'm waiting for, a REAL T.V. version. So come on guys, buy those DYRL? versions! Buy two even! Take out a second mortgage if need be, I want my T.V. version!! -Kyp

Take out a second mortgage if need be, I want my T.V. version!! -Kyp I'm sure someone out there has plans to buy 1 for each of the Macross class ships launched...
Mog Posted February 5, 2011 Posted February 5, 2011 Yeah, where the hell is the custom Global from Macross Frontier?! j/k

CF18 Posted February 6, 2011 Posted February 6, 2011 (edited) @WF2011: Battle Damaged - separated version or upgrade parts? Looks like photo etch part also shown. And forum is broken. Can't attach. Edited February 6, 2011 by CF18
eugimon Posted February 6, 2011 Posted February 6, 2011 (edited) I'm game for the photo-etched upgrades but I can do without the busted cannons. Edited February 6, 2011 by eugimon
ff95gj Posted February 6, 2011 Posted February 6, 2011 I am not sure it's a good idea for a damaged version SDF; SDF was already a niche product, and more so for a battle damaged version. I have no room for 3 SDFs, that I am waiting for the TV version.
kyekye Posted February 6, 2011 Posted February 6, 2011 Yamato announced a kit version of 1/3000 with Photo-etched parts and resin parts + decals. Yamato!! You could have told me earlier!!!
ff95gj Posted February 6, 2011 Posted February 6, 2011 Oh that is a kit version? Now I feel much better.
Major Focker Posted February 6, 2011 Posted February 6, 2011 a kit version? is that confirmed? damn, that means i'm buying another one. oh well, i was undecided anyway in which mode to display the SDF, so i guess this'll solve that
Reïvaj Posted February 6, 2011 Posted February 6, 2011 Yamato has presented at least some of that stuff at the current Wonder Festival 2011. We can see a little bit of it among the pics at http://www.macrossworld.com/mwf/index.php?showtopic=34643&view=findpost&p=896455. Thanks Tochiro for the pics.
Guest sh002 Posted February 6, 2011 Posted February 6, 2011 i'm gonna buy this if it ever goes on super clearance. so i guess i won't be getting one.
Nightdare Posted February 6, 2011 Posted February 6, 2011 Ok ...Why didn't anybody inform me the 1/3000 was out? (I blame EXO!) -Ey guys, Old Nightbat popping in again, after finding out I forgot my password and retrieval was impossible since my mailserver changed names years ago, I figured my username could use a refresh So I just found out about it about an hour ago, and ordered it some 55 minutes ago, expensive little bugger Though much easier to justify than the insane price on the Regult, which shows that even if they were ever to release the 1/60 monster it would be absolutely Ludicrous Oh well, hope this little crown jewel ships fast
Matrix Soul Posted February 7, 2011 Posted February 7, 2011 a kit? WTF? Had I know that there was a kit I would have opted for that, so I can paint everything first then put it together, instead of taking it apart and paint everything and then put it back together
Reïvaj Posted February 7, 2011 Posted February 7, 2011 I'm afraid it's true. Look at this Twitpic and its no so good Google translation... http://twitpic.com/3wwzlp http://translate.google.com/translate?js=n&prev=_t&hl=en&ie=UTF-8&layout=2&eotf=1&sl=ja&tl=en&u=http%3A%2F%2Ftwitpic.com%2F3wwzlp
EXO Posted February 7, 2011 Posted February 7, 2011 Is that a kit of the battle damaged or the regular Macross? Might have been lucky for me to have waited. Oh yeah. Nightbat. The 1/3000 is out.
CF18 Posted February 7, 2011 Posted February 7, 2011 Yeah looks like a full kit with battle damage part. You can the unpainted ARMD here, and the big blue decal for ARMD in the small pic.
Tking22 Posted February 7, 2011 Posted February 7, 2011 Everyone got Yamato'd again, they never cease to amaze me, yet this thing will sell like snow cones in the summer. A kit? Really? And how much more than the standard 1/3000 sdf-1 will this be? Oh Yamato that's why I hate you so.
Uxi Posted February 7, 2011 Posted February 7, 2011 Why? Feel obligated to get it? I passed since I've never been fond of the drab DYRL color scheme and am hoping for a TV repaint with the proper Carrier arms. I still would like an ARMD or two for scenery/comparison and maybe the oddball switcheroo, though.
