leo Posted March 23, 2004 Posted March 23, 2004 I've read some threat on the new fancy yamato display stand for all the yamato macross but lost it. Does anyone know when will they be arriving?? and around how much will they cost? THX in advance, L, Quote
Opus Posted March 23, 2004 Posted March 23, 2004 The release date is May which really means June. The MSRP is 3,900 yen. Quote
Godzilla Posted March 23, 2004 Posted March 23, 2004 The release date is May which really means June. The MSRP is 3,900 yen. I think in US Dollars, it is about $40. Anybody knows it can hold 1/48? The info was not available on a lot of sites who were preordering it. Quote
Valk009 Posted March 23, 2004 Posted March 23, 2004 Yep, it will hold the 1/48 and all other Mac toys by Yamato. Some fellow MWers suggested that it will even hold the 1/55s. The pain about it is it weighs like a ton, so shipping will be a lot for all you guys living accross the pacific. Quote

The info was not available on a lot of sites who were preordering it. Officially, it can hold 1/60 & 1/48 yammies. Here's the image G-man posted on the magazine scans. pic Quote
UN Spacy Posted March 23, 2004 Posted March 23, 2004 Isn't it also supposed to come with several different mounting clamps? That way it'd be able to support the various mecha, and I also think it can support the latest Quadelunn Rau. Quote

That way it'd be able to support the various mecha, and I also think it can support the latest Quadelunn Rau. Earlier versions of the stand, with different clamps, were shown supporting Yammie 1/72s, so it may be possible to use it for darn near anything, within reason that is . Quote
Graham Posted March 23, 2004 Posted March 23, 2004 HLJ has pics of the various clamps. See here. Graham Quote
do not disturb Posted March 23, 2004 Posted March 23, 2004 (edited) well let me get the bitchin started here and say, i think this is the one yamato product we should all boycott. THERES NO WAY IN HELL I OR ANYONE ELSE, SHOULD PAY $40 FOR A DISPLAY STAND THAT YOU HAVE TO BUILD YOURSELF NO LESS(according to HLJ). i've seen the pics and i'm sure its super fresh but $40 of super fresh? i think not, thats almost, if not more, than the 1/60 GBP armor and it definitely costs more than a bandai valk. and IMHO, thats just OUT OF HAND! on top of that, you and i both KNOW its going to come packaged in some GIANT ass box so they can rape us on the shipping. and so no one goes off on me, to those who think its worth it, more power to you, get as many as you like. i'm sure its gonna be an awesome display stand, but me, i'll stick with the $20 tripod stands and won't post regarding the price or this product again. hehehe Edited March 23, 2004 by haterist Quote
Wicked Ace Posted March 23, 2004 Posted March 23, 2004 and so no one goes off on me, Somehow, I don't think you'll get off so easily. Quote

LOL i already have a feeling that a certain member here is going to fan the flames real soon. lets see if he can control himself or if he goes into flamer mode. anyhoo, i tried my best to not to come across angry...well other than the ALL CAPS.

tom64ss Posted March 23, 2004 Posted March 23, 2004 I've still never seen any pictures of it hold a 1/48 in fighter mode w/ the gunpod. Maybe I'll get one if I find it cheap, but that's 3 or 4 tripod stands for that price. (assuming that $40US is relatively accurate) I like the tripod stands a lot more anyways. They make my fighters look like they're flying and give you the versitility of display in all three modes. These look like they're sitting in the launch arms the wrong way (aren't they suppose to grab the fastpacks?) and only in fighter mode or gerwalk (it looks ridiculous in gerwalk on a "launcharm" BTW ). With all the stuff Yamato's releasing this year, this one won't be too high on my priority list, despite the fact that they do look nice. Quote
nhyone Posted March 23, 2004 Posted March 23, 2004 With the clamp, the plane doesn't look like it's flying. I would prefer to use thin threads and hang the VF off the ceiling or something. Quote
bandit29 Posted March 23, 2004 Posted March 23, 2004 The Yamato email news letter I got the other day said May. 先週カスタマーサービスにお問い合わせいただいた中から、特にお問い合わせの多かったものをご紹介いたします。 Q:マクロス用スタンドはいつ発売ですか？ A:５月発売予定。 ※諸般の事情により発売時期が前後する場合がございます。あらかじめご了 承ください。 Babelfished Last week to inquire to customer service, while receiving from, we introduce many ones where especially it is the inquiry. Q: Is the stand for マクロス when sale? A: May sale schedule. * There are times when sale time inverts with various circumstance. Beforehand Ryo acceptance. I'll wait for a clearance price on the stand before I even consider buying it. The tripod stands are cooler and cheaper. Quote
Anubis Posted March 23, 2004 Posted March 23, 2004 I'll be sticking with my acrylic tripod stands. All five of them. Eventually two more for the Max and Millia 1/60's I have put away. Quote
Neova Posted March 24, 2004 Posted March 24, 2004 (edited) I got the stands for pre-order down in my sig. Its nice looking but you're right, 15 USD for those nice acrylics are hard to beat. Its too bad these weren't DYRL Launch Arms. Edited March 24, 2004 by Neova Quote
scand Posted March 24, 2004 Posted March 24, 2004 (edited) Hopefully these will hit the clearance rack pretty fast. I'd get one for 20 bucks but no more. Are the acrylic tripods still available? If so, where? Edited March 24, 2004 by scand Quote
hirohawa Posted March 24, 2004 Posted March 24, 2004 I think Valkyrie exchange and Twin Moons anime has them. Quote

If so, where? i see them hitting clearance in less than a month after its release. the mistake is they're trying to put a "collectors price tag" on this but its nothing more than an unneeded accessory. tripods stands, s i t h l o r d still sells them i think? also twinmoons and VE and just about every other macross retailer(in the US) that gets mentioned here.

bandit29 Posted March 25, 2004 Posted March 25, 2004 This the place that actually makes them(I think). You can find them a bit cheaper if you look around. I've found the stands at places like Hobby Lobby. http://www.mycreativedisplays.com/main.php3?primNavIndex=1& Quote
Lonely Soldier Boy Posted March 25, 2004 Posted March 25, 2004 I think it's too big for a display stand and draws too much attention from the toy it's supposed to "display". That is specially notorious with the 1/60's and 1/72's. What's the display piece here? The plane or the display stand itself? Quote
