If this is released in Japan, it will be Macross & Ichijo. For the rest of the world where HG has the rights, it will be Robotech & Rick Hunter, I guess? Hence the product title 'Robotech Macross VF-1J' - means they have license for both. The question is 'Can I get Japanese version when I live in US?' I guess the answer would be 'No' Quote

I guess lens distortion is also too much -- nonetheless I'm really worried about where to put this now... i'm wondering that myself, and getting a tad worried too about the space requirements. it didn't seem that big here: Quote
kyekye Posted March 5, 2017 Posted March 5, 2017 spec says - Est. Product Size: 900mm x 335mm x 500mm I have both hot toys tumbler (737mm L)and 89' Batmobile (990mm L), so this one should be little shorter than 89' Batmobile. Maybe it's height adds a lot to visual volume. Quote

I love the look of this with the lights. At night it will be a brilliant display. But I still would like to see if other versions will come out. I kind of assume they have to make a Max TV version. I would either want that or DYRL. But that could change if they made Misa or Minmay TV figures. Edited March 5, 2017 by JetJockey Quote
erizai Posted March 6, 2017 Posted March 6, 2017 if really free shipping all guys here probably bites... lol Quote

Very soon we will want a roy version, a hikaru DYRL version etc . ...gasp...A VF-1D version with hikaru and minmay!! I would lose my mind... And the downright down the waterslide would be if Kids Logic talked to BW and did Plus/Frontier/Delta versions! if they did release isamu and the YF19..hmmmmmmmm...i dont know if i can resist.....

Lolicon Posted March 6, 2017 Posted March 6, 2017 That thing looks so badass. I would definitely buy one if they made a VF-25 version with removable EX gear for the pilot figure. Quote

Check Hi-Metal R figures. And the drawing you provided is DYRL lineart. Better scale with the Hasegawa 1/48 VF1-J Kit. Quote
no3Ljm Posted March 6, 2017 Posted March 6, 2017 I still wonder how these two fit in a single seat VF-1 cockpit. Quote

ZorClone Posted March 7, 2017 Posted March 7, 2017 a lot of hot, steamy protoculture going on in this thread lol Quote
HardlyNever Posted March 7, 2017 Posted March 7, 2017 Anyone know what the deal with those figures is? I have no interest in the cockpit, but I'd be interested in those figures if you could get them separately for a non-insane price. Are they exclusive to the cockpit? Quote

The figures themselves are being discussed on the Macross Figures thread. Even before the announcement on that 1/6 Cockpit Speaker. Hikaru... I mean, Rick Hunter will be released Spring of 2017. If their schedule is correct. Edited March 8, 2017 by no3Ljm Quote
seti88 Posted March 10, 2017 Posted March 10, 2017 For those thinking of pulling the trigger for this mega expensive cockpit, you might also want to consider something "slightly" cheaper... Quote
jvmacross Posted March 10, 2017 Posted March 10, 2017 For a sec I thought you were saying that a smaller version of the cockpit was being done...... Quote

Prime 1 statues are a lil pricey from what i gather, so its almost in the same price stratosphere as the valk cockpit. It should come in 1/3 cheaper i suppose? Quote
no3Ljm Posted March 10, 2017 Posted March 10, 2017 (edited) ^ Well guys, good thing I already have this. All I need to do is put these two on top of my Bose speaker and Voila! Instant 'digital surround speaker' display. And it sounds better too for sure. Edited March 10, 2017 by no3Ljm Quote

Scale those CMs up to 1/12 scale and they would be perfect...plus it would be feasible to actually buy one of each in the "Cockpits of Macross" series......make it so Bandai! Oh and feel free to leave out the LEDs, LCDs, and speaker-stand! Quote

jvmacross Posted March 13, 2017 Posted March 13, 2017 Isn't that the price you pay with the estimated shipping direct from KL? Guess this isn't moving as fast as KL thought it would. The good thing is when things go to RT.com they usually end up getting deep discounts. Might still get to see this for $1000 shipped.... Quote

It's now on RT? I'll just wait for them to put it on Clearance Sale. $350 shipped. Don't mind a broken speaker or LED effects for $350. Quote
