Mommar Posted November 3, 2015 Posted November 3, 2015 Is the bridge separated into two parts on purpose? Haven't noticed that The SDFM version of the SDF-1 has always had a separated bridge in Cruiser mode. Quote
Mechapilot77 Posted November 3, 2015 Posted November 3, 2015 The SDFM version of the SDF-1 has always had a separated bridge in Cruiser mode. yup i found that to be odd on my matchbox sdf-1 as a kid even. Quote
Lonely Soldier Boy Posted November 4, 2015 Posted November 4, 2015 As much as I want a TV SDF-1 I think I'll do better putting those 60 bucks on Bandai's giant DYRL version. Maybe they'll release a bigger TV version sometime down the road. Bigger than 20 cm I mean. Quote

Mommar Posted November 4, 2015 Posted November 4, 2015 The curvature on the underside of the bow is... severe. Quote
Chronocidal Posted November 4, 2015 Posted November 4, 2015 (edited) Wow, that was probably the most relaxed AmiAmi order I've seen in years... guess demand isn't that high? The 20% discount convinced me though. Haven't felt the need for a huge SDF-1, so having a little one on a stand should be nice. It'll be out of scale, I think, but at this size it'll fit nicely alongside some of my Star Trek kits. Edited November 4, 2015 by Chronocidal Quote
treatment Posted November 4, 2015 Posted November 4, 2015 Even at 21% off, it is still quite expensive for a tiny figure. But it's the SDF-1 TV-edition, so might as well pre-o... Quote

treatment Posted November 4, 2015 Posted November 4, 2015 well its not a bandai product.... MegaHouse is a sub-brand of Bandai. Quote
mickyg Posted November 4, 2015 Posted November 4, 2015 I hope it goes up on HLJ soon. Ami Ami and Australian shipping are a tough combo for me. Quote
sharky Posted November 4, 2015 Posted November 4, 2015 (edited) The Wave SDF-1 is only a little larger at 24cm (1/5000) but it was around $120USD IIRC. The Megahouse version is looking to be around $50. And, it's the TV version. Not bad IMO. Assuming the TV and DYRL versions are exactly the same size at the same scale then at 20cm this is looking to be a 1/6000 scale ship. Anybody want to check me and confirm?

calubin_175 Posted November 4, 2015 Posted November 4, 2015 If they were to make a DYRL version, they would need a completely new mould. Quote
sharky Posted November 4, 2015 Posted November 4, 2015 (edited) Seriously, would it have killed them to go to 1/5000 scale to at least match the Wave DYRL version. We're only talking around 4cm longer. It wouldn't have affected the price that much. But, honestly, I remember having the Wave 1/5000 on display in my Detolf. It was decently sized. I was always happy with it, but I sold it when I got the Yamato. It's not a holy grail sdf-1, but it seems nice and worth having in a Macross collection. It's not huge, but I dont feel it's too small either. Edited November 4, 2015 by sharky Quote

Anybody want to check me and confirm? According to the Macross Mecha Manual site, SDF and DYRL versions are the same size, so you are correct in that it would be a 1/6000 scale. In terms of pricing though, I would gladly pay $120 if it transformed the way the Wave does. Judging by the pics of the bridge/torso, the Megahouse looks like it completely disassembles from one form to the next. You can see where the arms (square slots) and legs (circular slots) peg into. Still pre-ordered it though. Quote
jvmacross Posted November 4, 2015 Posted November 4, 2015 So this is a parts-former? Still in.....will wait and see if it is part of a HLJ black friday deal..... Quote

jvmacross Posted November 5, 2015 Posted November 5, 2015 Pre-order placed with HLJ....Will keep an eye out for the annual Black Friday sale from HLJ....I think there will be about 5 really good Macross possibilities on that sale.... Quote
abbadon Posted November 5, 2015 Posted November 5, 2015 Thanks! Preordered from HLJ. Agreed! Exciting times for Macross fans! Quote

jvmacross Posted November 5, 2015 Posted November 5, 2015 I wonder who nabbed the 1/3000 SDF-1 TV license? Quote
no3Ljm Posted November 5, 2015 Posted November 5, 2015 I wonder who nabbed the 1/3000 SDF-1 TV license? The parent of Megahouse? Anyways, preordered 2 over HLJ. Quote
hal9000 Posted November 5, 2015 Posted November 5, 2015 OK, every time I go thought the process to order one on HLJ I get to the end and everything is fine. Than I complete the order and its not in my Account/ open orders. is any one else having trouble? Quote
jvmacross Posted November 5, 2015 Posted November 5, 2015 The parent of Megahouse? Anyways, preordered 2 over HLJ. Unless we hear something soon from Arcadia I have to agree.... I would think Bandai wouldn't announce it anytime soon as that would just cannibalize sales of the Megahouse and their 1/1800 future grail... Quote

Just try to log out and log back in to see if it refreshes your accts-page. Quote
mickyg Posted November 5, 2015 Posted November 5, 2015 (edited) If it's what I'm thinking, there's one more screen you have to go through to commit the order. So it's like this: Select the item Checkout Log in to account as part of checkout process Confirm PW or not Select shipping method Select billing method Confirm details Maybe not in that order but that's my recollection. EDIT:I see you said your account - yep it does this to me too. As advised, wait a few minutes and it should show up. Are you at least getting a confirmation email? Edited November 5, 2015 by mickyg Quote
hal9000 Posted November 5, 2015 Posted November 5, 2015 This man is correct, I guess I was just too eager for a TV SDF-1. Now off to cancel the extra orders. HLJ's not instantaneous synch. Just try to log out and log back in to see if it refreshes your accts-page. Thanks. Quote

You know, on this account Bandai may be using their Megahouse line to test the waters for the demand for an SDFM version then? OK, every time I go thought the process to order one on HLJ I get to the end and everything is fine. Than I complete the order and its not in my Account/ open orders. is any one else having trouble? This is happening to me too. It's too bad that the railguns on the shoulders only look like they rotate instead of having up/down hinging as well. Edited November 5, 2015 by Mommar Quote
