Majestic Posted December 5, 2003 Posted December 5, 2003 Virtual moderators once again forgive me for bringing up an oft-posted topic. I know starting a new thread is a cardinal sin and that I'll burn in eternal hellfire for daring to do so, but nonetheless.... Last I read, Graham had hinted that Yamato hadn't finalized its scales for its "new line", so 1/72 may not be the case, is this still true? I'm not clear on the latest scales gossip. Is 1/48 VF-0 going to happen? I'm dying for a VF-0S or -0D in whatever scale. Do we have to wait until Yamato milks out the VF-1 line? Do we have to wait until Macross Zero ends? Somebody say something like: "Yes, expect VF-0 prototypes to appear in Hobby Japan by January 2004". Then I can get sloshed at my company's christmas party tonight in celebration (note that I will likely do so regardless). Quote
NoSuchFile Posted December 6, 2003 Posted December 6, 2003 Last time I heard we where to expect Macross Zero toys in summer 2004 Quote
eriku Posted December 6, 2003 Posted December 6, 2003 Last time I heard we where to expect Macross Zero toys in summer 2004 Yeah, and that pretty much means next September or October. Quote
Majestic Posted December 6, 2003 Author Posted December 6, 2003 Thanks. At least we're talking less than a year... Any more info on the scale issue? Quote
Aegis! Posted December 6, 2003 Posted December 6, 2003 I don´t care what scale they go for (as long as it´s not bigger than the 1/48 VF-1s) , I´m just eager to have some Octos and a 0D and of course the 0S. I think that´s all. Quote
Graham Posted December 6, 2003 Posted December 6, 2003 Rough date, middle of next year....probably. These things are always subject to change tho G- Quote
Uxi Posted December 6, 2003 Posted December 6, 2003 Yeah. We barely have a month or two notice on any Yamato release. Where's the YF-19FP? Wasn't it originally gonna be before Xmas 2002? Quote
Phadeout Posted December 6, 2003 Posted December 6, 2003 Yeah.... Still waiting on the Yf-19 too... When was it suppose to be released? Quote
Max_Jenius Posted December 6, 2003 Posted December 6, 2003 Yeah. We barely have a month or two notice on any Yamato release. Where's the YF-19FP? Wasn't it originally gonna be before Xmas 2002? Yeah, I guess we can pretty much forget about getting our hands on the YF-19 FP before the end of the year. As for Mac 0 toys, middle of next year really means near the end of the year. Quote
Sumdumgai Posted December 6, 2003 Posted December 6, 2003 As much as I'd like to get a 1/48 VF-0, people will start screaming that it's too big! Hell, the VF-0 is larger than the YF-19, and a bunch of people scream that a 1/48 M+ valk is monsterously big and impractical........... <_< I WANT ONE! Quote
Dat Pinche Haro! Posted December 6, 2003 Posted December 6, 2003 damn....i've been wanting a vf-0 for so long!.....it's been almost a year since i saw the first episode of macross zero...i just don't want them to be released when i'm too old and caught up in what's going on in my life to enjoy them! right now is the best time (for me) to get these toys Quote
Jawjaw Posted December 6, 2003 Posted December 6, 2003 The more I watch Mac0 the more I want Mac0 toys. The VF-0 is okay but I really want the SV-51. If Yamato can pull off an accurate design with all the right moving parts, that would be ultra trick. Although, that full armored VF-0 is looking pretty sweet. I don't mind waiting but I wish I could fast forward and take a peek. I rather they not do them in 1/48, though. I would like to see a nice middle ground where they still look good and are more affordable. The current $200 for a fp 1/48 is just too much in the long run. I have only three 1/48's with two fastpacks and that cost me well over $500. Now I can't afford to get anymore 1/48's and that sucks. A while ago, someone brought up the idea of Yamato selling their toys as parts where you put it together yourself. Perhaps that something Yamato should seriously consider to increase sales. Quote
NoSuchFile Posted December 6, 2003 Posted December 6, 2003 I only hope they are considering making an Octos, I've never seen a mecha look so mean in Macross, ever, this thing when look from in front looks like a Demon rdy to kill ya!!! I really hope their SV-51 to be great looking, as the SV-51 recently got at #1 in my top 10 fav Macross Design. I really like the VF-0, especialy the VF-0D because of the paint job, looks really awsome, I can't wait until they release them... But I think that what some of u guys are saying to be true, I feel as we probably won't see any of them released before late 2004 or later Quote
Anubis Posted December 6, 2003 Posted December 6, 2003 At a minimum I want DD's black SV-51 and put it in Gerwalk. Don't know if I want another one yet though. I'll probably decide that when they come out. As for the VF-0, I'm not sure. Maybe a 0D with the delta wings for something different, but with so many VF-1's on my shelf I'm not sure. I'm definately making shelf space for one or two SV-51's though. Quote
GobotFool Posted December 7, 2003 Posted December 7, 2003 Fockers VF-0, Shin's VF-0D, and DD's SV-51 in large scale. I dun need Nora's nor do I need the regular VF-01 I am sure Shin is gonna get now that he lost his 0D. Quote
Nani?! Posted December 7, 2003 Posted December 7, 2003 I think everyone here should pat themselves on their backs. There's so much life and commitment on the part of the people in this forum despite the atrocious lack of significant news, updates, etc. I've been posting in variety of forums and never have I seen a following so patient and forgiving. I myself went from collecting Macross plus 1/72s only, to emptying my wallet and purchasing the entire yamato 1/60 line. Now I find myself waiting with "super-human" patience for the Macross 0, Macross plus 1/60, etc with all you people. sigh... Deadlines slip ALWAYS, news is a rarity amoung rarities, updates are laughably unexpected and yet... I sign on to this forum like an everyday ritual. I gotta search for a new hobby..... After I get the Mac 0's and Mac +'s of course!! It's a Disease I tell you! Quote
Hurricane29 Posted December 7, 2003 Posted December 7, 2003 Well the first news came in January, so I think if I have waited this long, whats another couple of monthes. I do know for a fact that if they are released I will get a Ivanov 51, Roy 0S, Shin 0D, Vf-0a and a Cf 51. Quote
Axelay Posted December 7, 2003 Posted December 7, 2003 Hey, good things come to those who wait. The way I see it, I'm EXTREMELY thankful to have excellent modern-day Macross toys. If Yamato has shown me anything, it's that they have really improved their design processes to make better and better Valkyries. (Of all the Yamatos I have bought, I have not had a problem with any of them thus far.) Also, I'd prefer to stretch out this Macross toy renaissance for as long in my life as is possible. I'd hate to wake up one day and have all of the Macross things I want... and then have nothing left to get. "When Alexander saw the breadth of his domain, he wept for there were no more worlds to conquer." Just keep it comin' Kawamori-san and Yamato. I'll be there. Quote
GobotFool Posted December 7, 2003 Posted December 7, 2003 As I understand it there are going to be 1/72 scale releases and 1/48 releases of macross zero fighters. Thats what I have heard said in previous threads. Who here is gonna collect both scales? I myself am probably gonna go exclusivly for the 1/48 scales of these valks. Quote
Commander McBride Posted December 7, 2003 Posted December 7, 2003 I really want a Shin's 0D.... But I really want a couple Destroid Cheyennes! Quote
GobotFool Posted December 7, 2003 Posted December 7, 2003 We should all petition Yamato to spend more time on different valks, than on VF-1s. Now I love the VF-1 as much as the next guy but I really am craving some variety in my macross mecha collection. Quote
NoSuchFile Posted December 7, 2003 Posted December 7, 2003 No need to worry, the VF-1 line is almost done, so it wont be a problem, should getr rid of it soone enough entn all the new desig should copme in and we all will be celebrating dansing around some fire making sacrefices for the fgreat Kamouary or whatever, srorry for the spelling, I gopt a lot of Drinks tonight... this the season to be drinking anyway Quote
