Would Yamato or Bandai ever make a Ghost?

[ErikElvis]

I would love one. Doesn't need any fancy gimmicks. Just a nice standalone version. Of course Id prefer the X-9 but they all intrigue me in some way. Im sure R&D wouldn't be hard. I doubt would sell for big bucks either. Im surprised it hasn't been done.

[EXO]

I think they would have done by now, but I could be wrong. It does seem like they finished the Macross Plus line for now and they seem to be on the Macross 7 kick. I'm not sure if they can even sell anything for cheap at this time. The price of the VF-17 scares me into believing that something like the ghost would end up costing about $100. Again, pure speculation on my part. I'm really curious to see how the 17 is going to do and what they're gonna do after.

[ErikElvis]

I actually just looked in the for sale section and saw a Ghost for VF-25 by Bandai. I had no idea. I looked up pictures and seems pretty small. And they seem to go for around $100.

there is also always the macross zero ghost booster(does that even count?)

of course, it does. why would it not?

when it's standalone, it's a Ghost.

when paired with the VF-0, it's a Ghost-Booster.

Heck! The old A-version was called Ghost.

All drone fighters in Macross have been called Ghosts, it's sort of a franchise tradition. and as others have pointed out Yamato released QF-2001 ghosts as part of their Macross Zero line and Bandai released an AIF-7S (QF-4000) ghost as part of than add on set for the RVF-25. IIRC, the QF-2001 stand alone sets never sold particularly well and could be had at considerable discount when they where still available. The Bandai ghost's where web exclusives which came with a bunch of other add on parts and cost way too much to begin with.

Personally I'd love to buy an X-9 Ghost if it had similar construction and price to the Sound Booster (i.e. clear parts, working landing gear and opening missile bay for about $100) and I'd be willing to pay more if it came with it's Super parts.

and Beyond that I'd really love a QF-3000:

[MacrossJunkie]

I wouldn't mind an AIF-9V that was used by the Galaxy fleet as long as it wasn't nearly $100 like the accessory pack for the RVF-25.

[anime52k8]

It would be worth $100 if it wasn't just a little hunk of plastic with no metal, internal detail or articulation of any kind.

[ff95gj]

US$100 would be too expensive for this and a few missiles. Though I didn't get it real cheap either.

[Graham]

_{IIRC, I paid under HK$500 for the Bandai Ghost & Missile set.}

A Yamato 1/60 X-9 is on my wishlist. But not willing to pay for it if it is gonna cost me $100.

[Kicker773]

Anyone have pictures in detail of galaxy's ghosts?

[derex3592]

i would by a 1:60 Ghost x-9 from Mac Plus in a heartbeat.

Me too.

Me three.

Me four. Who wouldn't love a Sharon Apple red super evil AI ghost? I swear there was a garage kit of that before posted somewhere around here

[CF18]

May be Yamato can release Ghost X-9 with Super part as a small model kit like the Fan Racer. Does it even has landing gear?

[derex3592]

I would be in for that...what does the Super part for the Ghost look like anyway???

Me five. Even better if they included a clear plastic "hologram" Sharon Apple, or that console unit thing she travels around in. Then again, if it's gonna drive the price up, I'll happily take just the X-9.

[Ignacio Ocamica]

Count me in too.

[Uxi]

I'd get it.

Ideally, we could get the QF-2001 (Zero0), QF-3000E (SDF), and X-9 (Plus) Ghosts in some sort of evolution pack? Along with 2 or 3-packs of former? Maybe throw in a couple 1/60 pilot and standing figs? Ground crews? Weapons packs? (I'd love AMRAAM's and AIM-9X that could mount on a VF-1 pylon).

i'd buy that in a heartbeat

[derex3592]

See Yamato! there are at least 6 people here EAGER to give you $$$ for a product! MAKE IT!

[D' only]

I'll buy it!

[Nicaragua]

I'd definitely buy it

[Actar]

My god, being a die-hard Macross Plus and YF-21 fan, I'll kill for one. I'm dying to recreate the climactic battle between Guld and the X-9 in all its glory.

Yeah, just take a $250 toy and slam it into a $150 toy as hard as you can so that they both break into a million pieces. If and when that happens be sure to film it.

[lorn_13]

I got this a long time ago. It's a resin kit of X-9 not sure about scale.

[derex3592]

That's HOT.

[Reïvaj]

Yeah, I really want it! Come on, Yamato!

[GXPT2000]

that looks like it is around the 1/48 scale.

[derex3592]

I'm willing to be one of our MW geniuses around here could make a preeeety cool resin kit of this in 1:60...... . I'll bet there would be enough interest.

[ErikElvis]

would be nice to have a holographic see through kinda card to display behind it with sharon apple pic and Isamu written all over it. I think it would be a winner. And I don't my my stamp of approval on many things. Who doesn't love plus and wouldn't want to complete the collection with a 1/60 ghost
