Reaction Warhead Posted November 1, 2015 Posted November 1, 2015 and for a pretty darn good price too! looks like only a single bid on it.. People are saving their money for something bigger and nicer... Quote
no3Ljm Posted November 2, 2015 Posted November 2, 2015 People are saving their money for something bigger and nicer... Let's make sure first that those bigger and nicer are transformable too. Quote
F360 Posted November 2, 2015 Posted November 2, 2015 So this thing won't be a kit right? Like their perfect grade version of Sdf-1 ? It would be much cheaper if it was a kit. Quote
jenius Posted November 2, 2015 Posted November 2, 2015 It doesn't appear at this time to be a kit but there's not a whole lot to go off of right now. Remember Yamato wanted to make their 1/2000 but ultimately settled on 1/3000 so who knows what will happen between now and a launch... if that ever happens at all. Quote
sharky Posted November 2, 2015 Posted November 2, 2015 While I like the idea that Bandai will do a 1/1800 scale SDF-1, I am personally quite satisfied with my Yamato 1/3000 version. It just barely fits in my display cabinet as it is. I'm assuming something that much larger in scale probably will have cool gimicks as well, and will be much higher in price. Would I love to own one? Sure! But, the reality for me is that I'm probably not going to spend that kind of money on just 1 item. I'd personally use the money to fill other items missing in my collection. Again, only because I already have the Yamato version. Quote
danth Posted November 2, 2015 Posted November 2, 2015 The TV Macross is where my nostalgia is. I don't think I care enough about the DYRL version to find the space for this. Quote

I'd personally use the money to fill other items missing in my collection. Again, only because I already have the Yamato version. Although I am still getting the Bandai 1/1800 (if only because I have seen what Bandai can do gimmick-wise on these type of releases), I would totally prefer same scale ships in my collection. With that said, I am really hoping Arcadia does go for a 1/3000 TV SDF-1....at this point it is the only thing that would provide enough of a WOW factor to counter the Blitzkrieg Bandai just subjected them to. Right now Arcadia can position itself better by being the company that can re-release a 1/3000 DYRL SDF-1 quickly AND deliver on a 1/3000 TV SDF-1 in late 2016 or early 2017. Bandai, IMO, is in a position where they cannot really announce a 1/1800 TV SDF-1 anytime soon because it would just cannibalize its own sales of the yet unreleased 1/1800 DYRL SDF-1. In this respect, Arcadia can have the advantage by quickly re-releasing their DYRL for those that want it NOW and don't care for the TV-type and put their TV-type into a fast-track development schedule..... in-between they can re-release the sure bets (right in time to beat or simultaneously release along with the HMR versions): VT-1 Super Ostrich (with standard "options" plus 1/60 Hikaru and Misa "playset" which includes tent, radioactive fish, and cooking fire can, VE-1 ElintSeeker with standard option part, VF-1D with standard option parts plus "battle damaged" left arm, Hasegawa collaboration Super/Strike parts with a variety of waterslide decals to customize your packs, etc....Arcadia really needs to think outside the box......they had the right idea when they released the 1/60 Fire Bomber set.....they should really do more of that... They should also copy what Bandai did with their HMR line at the Tamashii event, which is to start polling their "niche" clientele on what exactly they want to see Arcadia produce and they should ask to backup these "votes" with pre-order cash deposits..... At this point Arcadia can survive as a boutique purveyor of ultra-niche (and unfortunately pricey) Valkyrie designs..... Of course, this will only work-out if Bandai does not go all out on a line of 1/60-ish DX Legacy Valkyries....if that hapens.... Edited November 2, 2015 by jvmacross Quote
00Geass Posted November 3, 2015 Posted November 3, 2015 So this thing won't be a kit right? Like their perfect grade version of Sdf-1 ? It would be much cheaper if it was a kit. This was a Tamashii Nations event. Not a hobby show. Tamashii Nations doesn't produce model kits, Bandai Hobby does. They're basically two separate companies Quote
Reïvaj Posted November 3, 2015 Posted November 3, 2015 Too big and too un-detailed for its size as far as I can see. I'm staying with my Yamato one for now. Quote
Universe1010 Posted November 3, 2015 Posted November 3, 2015 Looks like the chest lights up , but I could be wrong must be the picture itself posted. Quote

Gakken85 Posted November 8, 2015 Posted November 8, 2015 I thought about getting a 1/4th fett as a big center piece - but frakk it. This is what I need haha. Quote
Bahamutzyro Posted November 9, 2015 Posted November 9, 2015 (edited) Hell I ordered that 1/4 scale hot toys boba fett too! Bring it all! Edited November 9, 2015 by Bahamutzyro Quote
Lonely Soldier Boy Posted November 9, 2015 Posted November 9, 2015 I missed on the Yamato 1/3000, so I'll take the chance to get a bigger one (if I can afford it). People in the know here mentioned that the display piece looked like a rapid prototype (possibly rushed up for the show), so I'm guessing the final version will be as detailed as the Yamato one. What excites me the most about this is the customizing possibilities: if the toy doesn't include lights out of the box, I'm definitely adding some myself! Quote
gingaio Posted November 9, 2015 Posted November 9, 2015 Hope this comes to fruition. It's likely the one piece that'll require my buying a new piece of furniture just to display it. I've always preferred the SDF-1 in cruiser mode, so a table or something... Quote
Universe1010 Posted November 18, 2015 Posted November 18, 2015 I wonder when bandai would release him and how much? Quote
macsam Posted December 4, 2015 Posted December 4, 2015 i am seeing almost the same amount of detail as the Yamato release. hoping it'll have the same gimmick where the panel can be removed to reveal Macross City Quote
505thAirborne Posted December 5, 2015 Posted December 5, 2015 i am seeing almost the same amount of detail as the Yamato release. hoping it'll have the same gimmick where the panel can be removed to reveal Macross City For a scale this big I would be disappointed if they didn't include that feature.

Universe1010 Posted January 22, 2016 Posted January 22, 2016 If there was news, you wouldn't need to ask. Is it happening? Quote
wmkjr Posted January 22, 2016 Posted January 22, 2016 (edited) If it would be happening it would be all over the main page. Actually, any bit of important info would be posted there so I would just check there periodically. Just letting anyone know because me being ignorant, I didn't know it was there before as I had the Forums section bookmarked instead of the main page since I first signed up. It's the tab marked Main site- www.macrossworld.com under the MacrossWorld banner. You can see info on the latest podcast, facebook page stuff and whatever else is important. You can follow this topic and have notifications sent to your email or notifications tab on the upper right side of the page You can change your notification options to what suites you. That way if there is any new posts in this thread it will be sent to you. Edited January 22, 2016 by wmkjr Quote

nineball Posted March 19, 2016 Posted March 19, 2016 I prefer the movie version of the arms but it would be pretty awesome if they made interchangable arms. Quote
VF-18S Hornet Posted March 21, 2016 Posted March 21, 2016 man, this thing is going to be hguc Neo Zeong size...maybe bigger.. GEEEZ Quote
Kanedas Bike Posted March 21, 2016 Posted March 21, 2016 (edited) Comic-Con Exclusive sized boxes. If it's that big it'll cost $ 75 just to ship. Good thing vaporware ships for free. -b. j/k!!! I have no idea if this is vaporware or not, no one get in a Macross-fueled rage Edited March 21, 2016 by Kanedas Bike Quote
anime52k8 Posted March 21, 2016 Posted March 21, 2016 nothing quite like the crushing disappointment of seeing a thread for an upcoming toy getting bumped and then not having new information about said toy. Quote
