I'd be surprised if they didn't come out with one.

I would have thought sometime in the last 3 years, but so far nothin'.

Looks like we're getting a new carrier model. Really hoping it's 1/1000!

yamato_asuka_02_hltIUoFj6uL6OoXTbE1rZykV

The carrier (named Asuka) is in 1/1000 scale. The Deusler III (upgraded Darold-class battle carrier) and the green colored Guipelon-class carrier that were revealed along with it are part of the Mecha Collection line. All ships are part of the upcoming Yamato 2205 project.

BTW...

Anyone else here embarqued on the lunacy train, continued the Hachette Collection and is building the 1:350 Andromeda?  No? Just me?! :lol:

 

Still gathering my energy for the apparently nightmare inducing job that is all the wiring in those final 3 or 4 issues. Just hope all works in the end. Fingers crossed.

(137) 宇宙戰艦大和號 陽電子衝擊炮開火集錦 Star Blazers : Space Battleship Yamato shock cannon fire compilation part 1 - YouTube

I've been watching these types of compilations lately and having watched to death many specific episodes of 2199 (enough that Crunchy Roll probably knows when i leave work) i'm curious about the difference in voice actors (the obvious and not so) and what people's opinions are? Who does it better? Who sounds more... into it, when they did their time in teh booths...?

Is there any info on when this kit will be out?

Didn't even see that there was an Andromeda. Lord that's tempting. The headache I'd dread is just trying to make sure I got all the pieces. Are there any photos of the final beast?

Don't know if anyone has already posted this but the Asuka carrier is now available for preorder at HLJ. If anyone needs the link, let me know and I'll post it. Is it my imagination or does the other shown carrier, the Hyuga, look somewhat different than the Asuka?

There are notable differences between the two, pretty much all over. The WMG is open on the Hyuga, the lower sterns and flight decks are also different, and I think some bridge structure/antenna detail. What's also different, is that I have yet to see the order page for the Hyuga...

This showed up on ebay yesterday, It might be a mistake in listing as no way this monstrosity could be shipped to the US for $60
Lister does mention pickup only so might be one of those vanity or store pickup listings that are common on yahoo japan:
Over-The-Counter Pick-Up Only Ashette Space Battleship Yamato 2202 Create

Gone.  That was quick.

Ended by the seller. Either he changed his mind, or he sold if off ebay.

Not that I had the money anyway, lol!

It's been a while since we talked about SBY 2202....

Yamato 2205 Episode 2 commentary | CosmoDNA (ourstarblazers.com)

towards the bottom of the article, it mentions Titan, a former moon of Saturn. Can someone explain the full details on the demise of Saturn (besides what I personally think what happened based on what I recall from the series)?

Posted

i guess that explains why the fleet wasn't visiting a Quasar during their travels (which was what i thought was depicted in the few pics or clips seen online previously) but the actual remains of Saturn... I'm just curious because if Saturn effectively disappeared (or its sphere of gravitational influence is reduced or removed outright), that should actually cause massive changes in the solar system... should it not? I know ive talked about this before (because then and now, its seems like a really cool 'What If' event)...

Yes, and fairly quickly too.  But! This is Yamato physics where the new Gatlantis Empire had a bunch of planets within it (not just a moon size ship like the original show) and nothing came of it.

I'm late to this party. I started watching 2022 last week on CR and am 9 episodes in. So far I am not enjoying it as much as 2199. 2202 just is a bit too convoluted. At least early on.

It's still good, IMO, just not as much as 2199 or 2205.

That's late alright, lol. But yes, consensus is that 2202 was very disappointing.

Also...

YYUUUUUUUKKIIIIIIIIIIIIII!!!!!!!!!!!

It will only get more convoluted as it goes along.  Major Disappointment after 2199.  It also suffers from plot spaghetti - they throw tons of stuff out there and never develop it.

2202 was a lot less grounded than 2199 (which is saying something for a show that features a WWII battleship in space!), and I didn't like where they went with Yuki's character, but I do think overall that it managed to tell a thematically powerful story.  Yamato has historically leaned much more in the cosmic than in the grounded real, so it's staying true to its roots even if I would have liked something crunchier overall.  In the end, I liked 2202 and agree that 2205 is a step up.  Looking forward to what comes next!
