CF18 Posted April 3, 2011 Posted April 3, 2011 No price or date yet. Text mentioned Yamato online shop. I expect HLJ to carry this. Rest of Macross related scans from Model Graphix: http://mecha-guy.blogspot.com/2011/04/macross-model-kits-model-graphix-may.html Previously discussed in the toy thread, with a high res scan of the photo-etched part + decal: http://www.macrossworld.com/mwf/index.php?showtopic=33521&view=findpost&p=896917 Quote
miriya Posted April 3, 2011 Posted April 3, 2011 I hope it is not too expensive. i would like to build one of these up. Quote
Reïvaj Posted April 3, 2011 Posted April 3, 2011 Is it a model kit of the whole ship or just the main cannon replacement + stuff? Quote
danbickell Posted April 4, 2011 Posted April 4, 2011 Ok, so what is going on with the bottom of the feet in the #2 picture in that ad? Quote
kyekye Posted April 4, 2011 Posted April 4, 2011 From the page, these are the information i could get. (from the number on pictures and description) 1: The broken Cannon will be included as an option part 2: The bottom of feet will have round nozzle and switch-able square shape nozzle. 3: Decal sheet will be included 4: Photo-Etching parts will be included for Antenna, Strike Valkyries and launching Arms..etc 5: Screws and pin shaft are used for assembly. Other info from article.. It will also include resin cast parts, glow sticker decals The price will be relatively lower than the toy version. Quote
505thAirborne Posted April 4, 2011 Posted April 4, 2011 Time to start saving up some $$$, I'll definitely get this one, especially for the destroyed cannons! Quote
CF18 Posted April 21, 2011 Author Posted April 21, 2011 There has been some confusion, but now we can expect a construction kit with parts for entire SDF-1, 2 bonus resin parts, etching parts and decals for 16,590 yen (inc Tax). http://hk.myblog.yahoo.com/iam-cybergundam/article?mid=72584 Quote
wm cheng Posted April 21, 2011 Posted April 21, 2011 Any indications that any of this extra stuff (glow stickers, decals or PE parts) will be offered separately to those of us who were early adopters? Quote
EXO Posted April 21, 2011 Posted April 21, 2011 I'm guessing there will be an influx of extra parts coming out of this. Honestly that price is worth getting the SDF-1 alone and make partial money back from selling off the custom parts. You'd get the Macross for around $200 after all is said and done. Quote
Ghadrack Posted April 21, 2011 Posted April 21, 2011 (edited) I waited too long to pick up the toy version like a dummy and it seems to have either sold out or had it's price jacked up everywhere. I hope I can catch a second bite at the apple here. hopefully we get a little advanced warning on the release date, a kit version sounds just perfect to me. ~Edit~ Maybe I spoke too soon, I just checked HLJ and they are getting a restock in July so hopefully they announce a release date for this so i can make a decision on whihc verson to get before they sell out again.

CF18 Posted April 22, 2011 Author Posted April 22, 2011 Found a high-res of the line art at locushk.com. Quote
jontom Posted April 22, 2011 Posted April 22, 2011 Maybe this was already answered somewhere, but why is every SDF-1 kit the DYRL version? where is my Daedalus? Quote
Reïvaj Posted April 25, 2011 Posted April 25, 2011 Finally, Yamato’s official information. Links: http://www.yamato-toys.com/dev/release_090/index.html?infolnk=index http://www.yamato-toys.com/items/detail.php?gid=1862 Quote
CF18 Posted May 13, 2011 Author Posted May 13, 2011 Best image of the display: Don't know why HLJ haven't list this one yet after selling most other Yamato exclusive, even the 1:2000. If you want it from HLJ - cheaper than any other proxy - then try email them. Quote
Reïvaj Posted May 14, 2011 Posted May 14, 2011 There're some very fine pictures at GUNJAP site: http://www.gunjap.net/site/?p=10663 I've also found this picture somewhere in Google Japan, but I don't have the link, sorry. Quote
moose Posted May 21, 2011 Posted May 21, 2011 Ok I am some what confused is this a model similar to that of a Gundam were everything will be on spurs and we need to glue or snap it together. The first pick shows some parts but not all. can any one confirm. Quote
CF18 Posted May 21, 2011 Author Posted May 21, 2011 No it the 1/3000 toy in it's unpainted, unassembled form. If you can't paint, get the toy instead. Quote
derex3592 Posted May 22, 2011 Posted May 22, 2011 I just want the photo-etched parts and the decals.....any chance they are gonna sell those by themselves??? OR maybe some nice MW member might wanna sell me their's somewhere down the line???? Quote
kyekye Posted May 22, 2011 Posted May 22, 2011 just FYI, First US retail site to list this item, I believe. Their price is kinda ..high. asking $249.99 Estimated to Arrive June 2011 Big Bad Toystore I'm pretty sure HLJ will list this later with actual currency conversion. I don't know why I'm even posting this since I'm not gonna buy it. I'm done with DYRL SDF-1 Quote
anime52k8 Posted May 22, 2011 Posted May 22, 2011 just FYI, First US retail site to list this item, I believe. Their price is kinda ..high. asking $249.99 Estimated to Arrive June 2011 Big Bad Toystore that's actually not too bad for a US site. after all the 16590 list price works out to about $200 US with the current exchange rate, and keep in mind BBTS estimates shipping for just it at about $12 to the continental US. once you tack on $40~$50 for international shipping, it's actually going to be pretty close. hopefully these aren't going to be too limited. I'd like to get one but the timing is right in the middle of a bunch of other stuff.*crosses fingers for winter sale* Quote
CF18 Posted May 26, 2011 Author Posted May 26, 2011 Finally listed on HLJ! http://www.hlj.com/product/YMTGK-15 About US$185 + shipping. Quote
wm cheng Posted May 26, 2011 Posted May 26, 2011 Any further news about whether any of these upgrade parts/decals will be available separately to previous owners of the assembled toy? Quote
CF18 Posted May 26, 2011 Author Posted May 26, 2011 So far only the glow in the dark sticker sheet: http://www.yamato-toys.com/items/detail.php?gid=1889 Quote
Valkyrie Posted May 27, 2011 Posted May 27, 2011 Sweet! Ordered! Kinda excited about the ARMD parts. One more reference for the 1/1000 scratchbuild Quote
Major Focker Posted May 27, 2011 Posted May 27, 2011 Finally listed on HLJ! http://www.hlj.com/product/YMTGK-15 About US$185 + shipping. you sir, just made my day Quote
Valk009 Posted May 27, 2011 Posted May 27, 2011 Just got mine shipped from Japan today, awesome kit and will need at lot of time and tlc to build it! Only issue is maybe those extra bonus parts, which are given to you not in the correct pre-colour molded plastic but instead in natural resin (just like Yamato's advertising campaign). Quote
Major Focker Posted May 30, 2011 Posted May 30, 2011 now in stock at hlj. just got shipping notification Quote
Renato Posted May 30, 2011 Posted May 30, 2011 Delivery guy came but I was out. I'll receive it tomorrow instead.... To be honest I have no idea when I'll be able to start this thing, let alone finish it. One thing is for sure: Kye-kye's step-by-step build up will no doubt prove INVALUABLE. Too bad mine will not look anywhere near as good. Quote

Too bad mine will not look anywhere near as good. Don't worry. If it looks half as good I'm sure it'll be great. It just has to be 100% done. Good luck man! Quote
Frogze Posted May 30, 2011 Posted May 30, 2011 (edited) I just got the payment request from HLJ, as expected the shipping cost stings a bit more than on the prebuilt version but it's still a much saner deal... providing the build process doesn't push me on the edge of madness btw can someone confirm if there are also a few 1/3000 valks on lauch arms on the etching parts sheet?(I'm not sure if I'm not confusing this with stuff from the 1/2000 thread though) --edit : just read kyekye translation above, 1/3000 valks yay!!

Yes, it's from the unpainted 1/3000 kit. It's really tiny... .I meant really tiny..... Edited May 31, 2011 by Vi-RS Quote
Frogze Posted May 30, 2011 Posted May 30, 2011 Oh poo... I'd better get some tweezers and a good pair of glasses now, thanks Quote
Jasonc Posted May 30, 2011 Posted May 30, 2011 I so wanna get this. Going to pop up several things on ebay in hopes of getting the funds together. Quote
wm cheng Posted May 31, 2011 Posted May 31, 2011 Well, if anyone doesn't want or intend to use the PE parts (they might be too small and bad for your eyes!) ;-) - you've got someone (ME!) more than happy to take it off your hands! Keep me in mind. Quote
