Mecachrome Posted June 27, 2018 Posted June 27, 2018 WTH, no retail art box and requires assembly? Quote
sh9000 Posted June 27, 2018 Posted June 27, 2018 I would have bought a 1/12 Valkyrie cockpit for 1/2 the cost or a 1/18 Valkyrie cockpit for 1/3 the cost. Quote
jvmacross Posted June 27, 2018 Posted June 27, 2018 Maybe ask KitzConcept if there are any plans for a 1/12 cockpit for their figures......or a 1/12 VF-1? Quote

I don't remember seeing Rick's Cockpit over at BBTS. Only at KC and Robotech Store. 3 hours ago, Mecachrome said: WTH, no retail art box and requires assembly? Yeah, too bad there's no art on the retail box. But regarding the assembly part, just basing it on the video it's just a few things, right? Besides, some collectibles that I know and even most appliances requires minimal assembly. I said 'appliance' because it's a speaker too. And besides, it's good that they kept it that way because atleast some of the small parts are secured during transit. Imagine, if you open such a box with small broken things laying around in the box. 1 hour ago, jvmacross said: Maybe ask KitzConcept if there are any plans for a 1/12 cockpit for their figures......or a 1/12 VF-1?

Convectuoso Posted June 28, 2018 Posted June 28, 2018 It's a good thing that it can be detached from the base. You can combine it with the Head Busts they announced and wait for them to release the remaining parts to build a giant Valkyrie! Quote
Ahab Posted June 28, 2018 Posted June 28, 2018 (edited) Happy that the cockpit is separate and some of the components containing electronics/LED's are separate. That will make potential QC issues easier to deal with(instead of sending the whole thing back for a faulty connection, one can send back just that part...) Finger's crossed everything shows up in working order!! Edited June 28, 2018 by Ahab typo Quote
kyekye Posted June 28, 2018 Posted June 28, 2018 It should come with 2nd 1/6 scale Hikaru (or Rick whatever) Action Figure? I don't see it in the video.. Quote
jvmacross Posted June 28, 2018 Posted June 28, 2018 Seems like you will get 2 boxes....perhaps the 1/6 poseable Rick is in one of the boxes....or an IOU? Quote

jvmacross Posted June 28, 2018 Posted June 28, 2018 They are both different scales....but not by much....would be interesting to stand the 1/6 figs next to the Battroid busts.........although I think standing next to the cockpit display is way cooler! Wonder if you can fit the old Popbox DYRL Hikaru into the cockpit? Quote
macsam Posted June 28, 2018 Posted June 28, 2018 i could be wrong but this 1/6 cockpit scale might be on par with the arcadia release human scale gunpod from a few years past. I don't believe the gunpod was officially released with a scale. Quote

I don't believe the gunpod was officially released with a scale. Yeah, probably in par (or smaller) with the size of the KC's Cockpit Speaker. This is more like basing it on available sizes we have from Macross Mecha Manual and the 1/60 VF-1's from Yamato/Arcadia. If the official height of Battroid is 12.68m. The length of the Gunpod that came with the 1/60 figure is 105mm. And Arcadia's Gunpod size release is 840mm. Then it's somewhere around 1/7 - 1/8 scale. Now all we need is the rest of the plane parts. Quote
kyekye Posted July 2, 2018 Posted July 2, 2018 (edited) Just got mine and put together for test. Came in 1 Big box + 1 Bigger box. Mine was 082/300 As suspected, I couldn't find the 1/6 action figure version of pilot. I'm pretty sure it's not ready yet (IOU) but sent them email about it anyways. It's about the size I expected, but still it's huge. (and heavy - they used filler resin/coldstone) VID_MAcrossCockpit.mp4 Edited July 2, 2018 by kyekye Quote
no3Ljm Posted July 2, 2018 Posted July 2, 2018 (edited) Nice! So gorgeous looking. Does it come with the extra 1/6 figure as they advertised before? Quote https://www.kidslogic.toys/products/robotech-macross-vf-1j-1-6-cockpit-diorama-digital-sound-system?variant=41858434125 - 1/6 Rick Hunter statue and 1/6 Rick Hunter action figure included.

sh9000 Posted July 2, 2018 Posted July 2, 2018 Pretty cool. They should have put the name on the canopy. Quote

Honestly, I'd rather do it myself with the name I want. It will be another step to erase printed name. 28 minutes ago, Mecachrome said: Wooo mine arrived!!! Please check if you find 1/6 action figure somewhere hidden in the boxes. BTW, the transformer and power cable box is hidden under the Styrofoam of Base box. Took me a while to locate it. Quote
jvmacross Posted July 2, 2018 Posted July 2, 2018 Congrats! Looks great...nice to see the canopy stays up on it's own. I need to find one! Quote
derex3592 Posted July 2, 2018 Posted July 2, 2018 holy crap on a cracker that's freakin HOT!!!! Quote
macsam Posted July 2, 2018 Posted July 2, 2018 good that the name Rick Hunter doesn't show on the canopy sucks the certificate shows Robotech/Harmony Gold. that's going to be stored away never to be seen...... Quote
jvmacross Posted July 3, 2018 Posted July 3, 2018 Did the removable panel gimmick make it to the final product? Tempted to get the Max version....but don't care for all that blue... These seem to have sold out....at least the "Hikaru"....so hopefully they do the VF-1S Roy... Quote
jenius Posted July 3, 2018 Posted July 3, 2018 Robotech.com says they're accepting new orders later this month. Quote
JetJockey Posted July 3, 2018 Posted July 3, 2018 That's a really beautiful display piece. I'm still hoping for DYRL versions. But it's such an amazing display. Probably the best large scale Macross piece I've seen. How is the speaker quality? Any specs listed? Quote

The canopy is a lot lighter than I thought. I think they replaced the clear material with Vacuum one. It's only @ 2 position thou. No hinges/joints.

I'm making the decal right now. Never cared about the certificate that much.

I didn't get it for the speaker, so....Anyways, spec says 1x4" subwoofer 2X2" mid range 1X2" super tweeter output: 30w/ch x 4 Quote
jvmacross Posted July 3, 2018 Posted July 3, 2018 Nice...so still a three layer panel gimmick.....they really came through on this.... Robotech or not.....this collectible and its makers deserve a lot of respect.... Quote

Better than the average small desktop speaker setups since this has fairly big subwoofer to help the mid range speakers. I still have a framed Robotech poster and this display is really tempting. I'll wait and see what is announced the Wonder Fest show. I still want DYRL or at least Minmay or Lisa figures. But I don't want to miss out if no one comes out with something better than this piece. Those Prime 1 Studio versions weren't as good as I was expecting. Quote
Ahab Posted July 3, 2018 Posted July 3, 2018 Just put it together. Pics soon!! They included a piece of paper explaining the figure will be delayed until October. Panel gimmick is there but simplified...one removable piece. Bit of a bummer but on the whole its an amazing display. At least 90% polystone..a real beast! So glad I pulled the trigger. Quote
kyekye Posted July 3, 2018 Posted July 3, 2018 Oh. I must've miss that paper -looking everywhere for the extra figure...Thanks for the Good info Quote
arbit Posted July 4, 2018 Posted July 4, 2018 Looks amazing. I can't afford it and don't have the space ether, so I made my own! Here is the clip in case some of you guys have not been on the model threads. Quote
Major Focker Posted July 4, 2018 Posted July 4, 2018 anyone here from PH who also ordered this from the KidsLogic store? was it shipped via fedex and were you taxed? been busy and just saw KL email from last month notifying they are ready to ship my order via fedex. Quote
DarkArchon3000 Posted July 6, 2018 Posted July 6, 2018 Does the cockpit display have volume control or make any sounds along with the lights? Quote

In Canada, the custom tax is $250. The smaller of the 2 boxes was shipped direct to the residence. The larger box had to be picked up from the Fedex center. Quote

kyekye Posted July 8, 2018 Posted July 8, 2018 (edited) There. ScrXX you Harmony Goldy. And I had to try it as well. The body base is really old type and bigger than usual. I'll have to try again after swapping the base body. Edited July 8, 2018 by kyekye Quote
