Lt. Adamovic Posted July 19, 2004 Posted July 19, 2004 C'mon Big G, throw us mortals a bone: what can we expect next from Yamato on the 1/48 plan....say CF or GBP-1S please I know a certain amout of people who would be very happy Quote
EXO Posted July 19, 2004 Posted July 19, 2004 *checks rock* ok... who let Lt. Adamovic out from under??? Quote
Majestic Posted July 19, 2004 Posted July 19, 2004 All ridicule asside, as I understand it, Graham is no longer as "in" with the Yamato folks as he used to be, so isn't privy to the same kind of info anymore. Something about crashing the Yamato president's Ferrari. I doubt the 1/48 line is dead. We'll likely see a 1/48 CF or a reissue of the DYRL 1S maybe? I pray for no more 1A's. Quote
EXO Posted July 19, 2004 Posted July 19, 2004 ha... I was just kidding Lt. I think everyone is sick for the days where we use to get all the yummy details from the G-man... hopefully they let him play with the stuff again. Next time Graham, makes sure she's a virgin before you sacrifice her... now you upset them!!! Quote
Lt. Adamovic Posted July 19, 2004 Author Posted July 19, 2004 Majestic thanx for the info i didn't know that....I'm sure that the 1/48 line is way from dead, because hey we are ready to let our green loose so they won't fail to notice that I'm certain that the CF is coming and they'll probably reissue Skull One too. Whqt I'm really holding my breath for is GBP...that would be just awsome oh and Exo which rock are you hiding under? cool down mate, I was obviously not present to learn this info sooner so no reason for any smart a.s comments Oh and Graham if I offended you in any way by my lack of proper information please accept my appologies Quote
Lt. Adamovic Posted July 19, 2004 Author Posted July 19, 2004 Then we understand each other Exo and don't take me too seriously either anyway my wishlist is the CF, VF-1D and the GBP everybody is welcome to push in theirs Quote
Lt. Adamovic Posted July 19, 2004 Author Posted July 19, 2004 Oh btw to really play the dumb and jest one, what is it with the Big G and Big Y anyway? Quote
EXO Posted July 19, 2004 Posted July 19, 2004 lol, I guess you were typing your response when I wrote I was kidding... No prob dude... I for one am cringing at the thought that they would stop production on the 1/48s... I'm getting flashbacks from Bandai and the 80's... please make more 1/55s!!! please make more 1/55s!!! please make more 1/55s!!! please make more 1/55s!!! please make more 1/55s!!! please make more 1/55s!!! Quote
Lt. Adamovic Posted July 19, 2004 Author Posted July 19, 2004 Being a NewB - hey i'm from Europe, Macross is only a word with a definite surplus of "S"-s around here, and I doubt if many people remeber Robotech - ,what' s with this hord of people wantiong Bandai to make the 1/55 ? I mean I really try, but I don't understand, they are plain inferior to Yamato - ok i understand that 1/48 are not cheap but there are the 1/60 too.....Explanation plaese Quote
Chowser Posted July 19, 2004 Posted July 19, 2004 c'mon Yamato, gimme a VF-1A repaint, Max TV!!!!!!! it would be so easy! Quote
Skull Leader Posted July 19, 2004 Posted July 19, 2004 (edited) I'm tellin you guys... I think the 1/48 line is pretty much over. I sincerely hope it is anyway, I'm ready for them to move on to other things. If they had another variant in the works for any time soon, they would've mentioned it by now. Edited July 19, 2004 by Skull Leader Quote
Stamen0083 Posted July 20, 2004 Posted July 20, 2004 Any of you guys secretly wishing the 1/48 line would die so the 1/32 line may be born? ;-) Quote
GRAND CANNON Posted July 20, 2004 Posted July 20, 2004 "AHOY!!! ..... Thems there 1/100s on tha horizon!!" "Do ya see anythin' else?" "Nah....nuthin'" "Arggghhh....Blimey!!!" Quote
Lt. Adamovic Posted July 20, 2004 Author Posted July 20, 2004 a ridiculously detailed VF-1 and a Alpha/Legioss in 1/32 would be nice...estimated price tag ~200$ Quote
Bub Posted July 20, 2004 Posted July 20, 2004 Hoping for the 2 seater VF 1/48 as well. Yeah! I want a VT-1. Quote
Graham Posted July 20, 2004 Posted July 20, 2004 Sorry, I've no idea what's coming from Yamato. They don't talk to me anymore Graham Quote
Nani?! Posted July 20, 2004 Posted July 20, 2004 I think they're just richer and more corporate than they were a while ago... They've just matured into a typical japanese company. (both in positive and in negative ways) Quote
David Hingtgen Posted July 20, 2004 Posted July 20, 2004 1/32 would be great (and HUUUUUUGE). Would go well with my Academy F-18's. (If I ever get around to building them, I don't knnow where I'd put them once they're together---wings will be folded due to space reasons! ) Quote
LordSixx Posted July 20, 2004 Posted July 20, 2004 Graham, why do they not talk to you anymore? Quote
Shin Densetsu Kai 7.0 Posted July 20, 2004 Posted July 20, 2004 Graham, why do they not talk to you anymore? just kuz they choose not to for very NEFARIOUS EVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAALLLLLLLLLLLLLL REASONSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS yamato does not want you it wants your money! and they tell me your money they likey!!!!! actually i dont think anyone really knows.

UN Spacy Posted July 20, 2004 Posted July 20, 2004 I'm tellin you guys... I think the 1/48 line is pretty much over. I sincerely hope it is anyway, I'm ready for them to move on to other things. If they had another variant in the works for any time soon, they would've mentioned it by now. I hope they're not done JUST yet, I'm keeping my fingers crossed for a GBP Armor for Hikaru's lonely VF-1J. I also doubt they're done milking the VF-1 mold for all it's worth. Quote
wolfx Posted July 20, 2004 Posted July 20, 2004 Off topic but Graham related.... I was just wondering if there are other Jap sites dedicated to Macross as fervently as MW. And probably see some Jap customs of 1/48s. Quote

valkyrietestpilot Posted July 20, 2004 Posted July 20, 2004 (edited) ah,graham,you DID remember to remove your shoes when you visited the ceo of yamato's house for dinner right?? .sorry man,couldn't resist. i've noticed lately how many other toys yamato makes besides valks.i think they are just busy & will get around to something new for the valkyholics later.i bought a "love hina" figure the other day from suncoast w/ yamato's logo on it.i was un-aware they made figures.

Yamato makes a huge range of figures from many different animes. Graham Quote
Bariaburu Faita Posted July 20, 2004 Posted July 20, 2004 I`m not sure of the exact reason Yamato is not talking to Graham, but I do have a strong inkling that Yamato does not like the Macrossworld forums. Many of the employees lurk here because they like the fan customs, but the upper management dispises the negative threads and the bad publicity generated by them. Do not expect any official news about Yamato releases on this forum. Asking and speculating only makes them more upset. Quote

eugimon Posted July 20, 2004 Posted July 20, 2004 makes sense... when yamato was breaking into the macross fan base, they wanted to appeal to the hardcore fans, build up interest... now that they've established themselves pretty well, they probably want to control the information that is released... stuff like what toy is next, release dates... stuff like that. kinda sad, but oh well... as long as they make good stuff I will pay for it...

But, it's not for those reasons. scand is defintely right. yamato gets mopney regardless of whether this site exists or NOT. Fanbase in japan was enough for them to even restart the seemingly dead toy license and look what happened. They are going towards the japanese market, not us. We just happen to be kind of the sole source for info ever since valkyrie scramble's admin left to become a father. Yamato could care less what we say negative or not. "Boss desu, many fans want to know more info!" Yamato higher up"who cares? let' em be surprised" "boss they are complaining!" Yh"you see that money bag there? where do you think THAT came from? " Though yes this site is an important meeting point for macross fans all over don't ever think it is that influential to yamato. I hate to say it but the truth is the yen speaks more than we will ever do, and we been kept in the dark since what a year now? And during that year did you hear yamato get pissed about how we complain? NOPE! they simply kept going regardless of whether we bitched or not. So point is, Yamato don't care what we say and how we bitch. THey care for the YEN. And the YEN they get regardless of whether we bitch or not. It is true. I think eugimon and scand are correct.

arrow Posted July 20, 2004 Posted July 20, 2004 Yamato had better watch it. People who spend for their products will loose their enthusiasm sooner or later. THis info blackout sucks. Quote
mcpaz Posted July 20, 2004 Posted July 20, 2004 Hi all! Well, as (I think) all of you, I feel deeply disappointed with Yamato's attitude, but not with us, but for Graham. I mean: I can understand that they have been growing, they came to MW in a very, very polite way (i think, please correct me if I'm wrong), and they received (and I'm pretty sure they already do) our feedback. As a payback, they let us know some privileged information through Graham, who never revealed critical information to anyone, even though we have summited G-man to all kind of tortures ever imaginated by the... forums(?). He's also been very kind to Yamato. But I guess there are two different problems here: the first one, us; during the past years, this forum has been a privileged Yamato information source, mainly to G-man and Yamato's good relations. We had G's reviews, critics... The expectation was always high, and that was a good sensation, which kept us glued to the forums day after day. But folks, those days are over, and now WE are the ones who have to lurk the web to get those little pills of information. Yep, things have changed a little bit the soul of the forums, and I think everyone is disappointed with that. But we have two chances: accept it or not, but we have to assume that many things will have to change to return to old gold MW age. And the second problem, which really makes me angry: Yamato's attitude with Graham. I would calify it as miseducation, since G deserves more respect than what he has received. That's what I see: you are a company dedicated to the 'glorious' art of making toys, and you have found a source of information that can help you. You contact him, and establish a colaborative relationship. You give him samples, receive feedback, suggestions... (remember that this is priceless!!) and sometime, for no reason, cut that relationship. It's really frustrating, for G, and for a huge fan community (but that's the first problem). Well, it seems Yamato is not our kind friend anymore. What a pity. Manu Quote
scand Posted July 20, 2004 Posted July 20, 2004 Actually, I was refering to the fact that certain knowledge was abused in the past. I have the impression that Yamato was upset with that abuse and in turn stopped sharing info about it's products. Quote
