This vehicle is 1/1000 scale which would make it maller than the current GX-64 Yamato, unless they have no choice but to scale it that way since the Andromeda is supposed to be THAT much bigger...

From a model comparisson photo someone made recreating the Kia Asamiya poster, the classic 1/700 Andromeda seems to be the right size. Which means the rescaled Andromeda in 1/1000 would be about the same size as the classic 1/700. That came complete with a lighting kit for the WMGs, which was activated by a Kodai & Yuki shaped switch on the base. This seems to go the same way but with more gimmicks. Hopefully, Bandai will include all the needed components in the model, instead of making us buy extra lighting gear like they did with the 1/500 and their recent Millennium Falcon. Quote
Dobber Posted December 30, 2016 Posted December 30, 2016 Anyone have any new info on the Megahouse Cosmo Zero? I haven't found any but sometimes you guys can find more. Chris Quote
Chronocidal Posted December 31, 2016 Posted December 31, 2016 (edited) Wait, huh? What scale? I've got a few of the Bandai kits, and they're great, but a finished display would be nice too, would love to have one with folding wings in 1/60 or even 1/48. Edited December 31, 2016 by Chronocidal Quote

The Wonder Fest Winter will be held on Feb 19. It's just 6 days before the premiere of the 2202. Quote

Not sure about the scale but it comes with a launch rail stand, figures, weapons, optional landing gear, and folded parts for stowed mode. Quote

Dynaman Posted January 6, 2017 Posted January 6, 2017 I hope this is just as awesome as it looks! That shot of the Andromeda is simply incredible. Quote
UN Spacy Posted January 6, 2017 Author Posted January 6, 2017 Still no word on English subs? I don't see it as an option on Amazon Japan's website listing. Any chance the team that worked on the Macross Delta BD's English subs might be working on this? @Tochiro Quote

Which means it is good that they are thinking of it, and bad that they are using a marketing name where the last production's final two disks were never released. Quote

I will be in the very small minority here, but I hope Andromeda goes down like a bitch. I never liked that particular ship in the original series, always thought it was overrated, the so called hero ship that wasn't. I remember the english translation in Star Blazers about how important the Andromeda was, like having five of then can help defeat Gatlantis or some crap like that. Looking at how easily it went down, my guess is that was just a way for Hajikata to increase the defense budget. I liked it when that ship finally bit the dust by crashing into Gatlantis and not even scratching its shield. Quote
derex3592 Posted January 8, 2017 Posted January 8, 2017 Spent a small fortune on the import Blu Ray's back when they came out... and just now getting around to watching the series.. yes, yes, I know...a little late to the party... but better late than never! Quote

Pissed me off since I was supporting them by not buying the japanese releases in favour of the NA releases. Not trusting their brand again. Thankfully I was able to pick up the Japanese Yamato versions for the final few episodes. Quote

Beltane70 Posted January 10, 2017 Posted January 10, 2017 The Andromeda looks so menacing in this new trailer! I'm also really digging what sounds like a new version of Gatlantis' theme. I can't wait to see how the new Empire city/fortress is going to look! Quote
Dobber Posted January 15, 2017 Posted January 15, 2017 Regarding the Andromeda model, a member over at SSM posted this: "okay take this with a grain of salt but I came across this; Star Blazers - 1/1000 Andromeda Movie Effect Version SKU#0214500 I part time at a local anime store (shameless plug www.neotokyo.ca) and we stock bandai gundam kits, manga, anime etc. Anyways I was digging around on a suppliers site(no, I won't be telling you who it is) and found a preorder for that. It says march. Now, we know the Andromeda is going to be much bigger than the Yamato. But I'm starting to wonder about how much bigger because the cost at my supplier for this new Andromeda is the exact same as the 1/1000 Domelaze III kit! And you know how big the box for that monster was. Also found Star Blazers - 1/1000 Yunagi Combined Cosmo Fleet SKU#0215636, also listed for March. Don’t know anything about this but I'm suspecting it's a re-pop of 1/1000 UNCN Combined Space Fleet Set 1 with different markings because it has the same cost as 1/1000 UNCN Combined Space Fleet Set 1. But I'm only guessing here." Quote
Kelsain Posted January 15, 2017 Posted January 15, 2017 Simultaneously glad and sad that I decided not to start collecting 1/1000... Quote

derex3592 Posted January 17, 2017 Posted January 17, 2017 Hey guys, making my way through the Star Blazers/Yamato 2199 Blu Ray's (great show so far) , but can anyone tell me if there's a 5.1 audio track on the discs? I haven't been able to figure out how to switch to it if there is. I'm an AV guy, so this isn't a newb question, but I can only find the 2.0 track. Quote
