Wave 1/72 Destroid Phalanx

[pfunk]

100 bucks isnt bad for that kinda detail

[nightmareB4macross]

100 bucks does seem kinda steep. Yamato could end up producting it for about the same price, in 1/60, as a finished toy, (with accessories) too boot.

I hope this kit does really well...

I have to agree with you: this kit looks great but USD104 before shipping... I for once can say that Yamato has fairer prices than their competitors

[Jefuemon]

Wonder why the Phalanx is close to ￥3000 more than the Defender or Tomahawk, since it looks like they're essentially the same kits. (from the waist down, at least)

[Wasabi-san]

Maybe they're raising the price higher, because they think they won't sell as many, and have to make up the production tooling costs?

Being a completest on some things, I'll still have to get the prerequisite two kits, one to build, and one "MISB", because you just can't give the destroids enough love.

[pfunk]

Yeah I do agree the price point should be that of the other destroids

It's selling for 7,040Yen as an Early Bird item on HLJ.

@ron5864 Bugger! You beat me to the punch.

I just ordered two of them this morning. Happy days. Spartan next perhaps?

[pfunk]

Bah, I ordered one. 20% off is good for me

[ron5864]

@ron5864 Bugger! You beat me to the punch.

Haha...but I didn't order one yet. Hope the price goes down to 5,000 yen or less when they have another sale. 7000+ yen is a bit rich for my taste right now.

Yep, the price is a little crazy on this one. I notice that the Defender is on sale at HLJ for 30% off. Nice discount if you're interested!

Picked that one up too, now to find a Tomahawk for reasonable

Wave is making some great models. I am bummed that they are so expensive though.

[Wasabi-san]

The price is a little high, but with the attention to detail, the fit and finish with little seam work, the tough-looking proportions (destroids), and the interchangeability of the valk parts, I think they're among the best kits available. Hopefully they'll do some enemy mecha next...both Macross and Mospeada.

I would gush like a fairy schoolgirl in heat if Wave produced an updated version of the Quel-Quallie.

[Grayson72]

Here's a Monster to go with the Phalanx:

I've got two versions of the 1/72 Monster kit, one from wonderfest and one from Mr. Salzo.

[PetarB]

Why don't you rub our noses in it some more?

[GMANIFESS]

Slighty O.T...

Does anyone know how tall the 1/72 VF-25 kits are in battroid?

[Major Tom]

It's finally arrived

[PetarB]

That artwork is awesome. I've never really been a fan of the design, but I'll have to get one now!

[Wasabi-san]

HLJ is shipping them out now. Two are in the BIIIG box of all the other Macross re-releases coming. Gonna hide these away for a while.

EDIT: Update: HLJ is already at a "Backordered" status on the Phalanx...in only two days.

OT: Has anyone ever sold a resin accessory set for each battlepod version? I've only seen the base pod in 1:72.
