malakite Posted November 14, 2007 Share Posted November 14, 2007 Hi all, I'm new here! As the title suggests, I'm finally able to, after all these years to start my Macross collection. Remembering Macross from when I was a kid, and finally able to buy them toys now...... Starting my collection with 1) VF 1S Roy (1/48) With Strike Parts 2) Vf 1J Hikaru (1/48) With Armoured Parts 3) VF 1J Max and Millia (1/48) With Super Parts 4) VF 1A Kakizaki (1/48) 5) VF 1A Cannon Fodder (1/48) 6) SDF 1 I'm just wondering..... am I missing anyone else from the (1/48) scale? Thanks for looking! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robodragon Posted November 14, 2007 Share Posted November 14, 2007 Quick turn back now! It's not to late for you. you can still be saved from spending thousands of dollars, and having your wife and kids go hungry as you play with your latest $200.00 Macross toy.

mechatek Posted November 14, 2007 Share Posted November 14, 2007 Welcome Malakite, you're also missing Max 1A, Hikaru 1A, canon-wise. Non-canon, Stealth 1J, Woodland 1A, and good luck getting a Low Vis 1A. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
malakite Posted November 14, 2007 Author Share Posted November 14, 2007 Hmmm... I was thinking of going along the lines of what seems the most prominent to me while watching Macross...... Hikaru in the VF 1S, never seemed right to me ( Roy is the way to go), Hikaru's always been the armoured one in my mind. Can't seem to remember Max and all in the 1A either... bad memory I suppose? Nah, I dun think I'm gonna get non-cannon ones.... I'm strange like dat aren't I? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ruskiiVFaussie Posted November 14, 2007 Share Posted November 14, 2007 Not strange... sought of... that is if you haven't watched DYRL? yet! Hikaru in the 1S is a must have if you've seen the movie. But it's all personal choice man. Congrats on joining the madness! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miriya Posted November 14, 2007 Share Posted November 14, 2007 Yes, it is obligatory that you watch "Macross: Do You Remember Love" (DYRL), the 1984 movie. The animation is fantastic and the story is great of course. This is a must. Then you will understand the VF-1s Hikaru and the VF-1A Hikaru as well. I would not be suprised if you ended up liking DYRL even more than the TV SuperDimensionalFortressMacross. It may be a little hard to find on DVD. DiscountAnimeDVD is backordered on it but you may find it somewhere else. BEWARE OF gamesfantasy.com . I ordered DYRL from them over a month ago and they never sent the DVD, they refuse to answer my emails and their phone is out of service. Those MotherJumpers!!! If anyone knows these bozos please tell them that if Miriya ever finds them she is going to kick some serious Meltrandi ass on them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm strange like dat aren't I? is SDFM, before max has is 1j, all he flew was a 1a...do you remember him sneaking around in his 1a dressed like a zentradi soldier? I agree with Ruskii...a Hikaru 1s is a must own...no doubt about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miriya Posted November 14, 2007 Share Posted November 14, 2007 but the Max 1A that Yamato produced is a DYRL version, while they have yet to make the SDFM max 1A with the white chestplate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

malakite Posted November 15, 2007 Author Share Posted November 15, 2007 Hmmm.... this might be a down hill thing after all.......lol miriya Yeah, I suppose you are right, I should go get DYRL?.... Problem is, kinda hard to get good quality subbed Anime DVDs where I am... Keep getting ones subbed in chinese or worst..... really bad dubs... sigh... I suppose it's time I started offering body parts for sale.....Who want's a liver, lightly used, never displayed, MISB (Mint in Sealed Body) Did yamato ever release the SDF:M colored Valks? or did they only release the DYRL? versions?

They need to make a few canon TV schemes yet... (Kakizaki 1A, Max 1A, Hikaru training 1A, and more importantly the 1D). Then we get to DYRL?... (max 1S, kakizaki 1S, VT, VE....)

I went to my local anime store and bought a few macross titles myself. SDF DYRL (movie) is really awesome but my DVD player is picky so I had to eject it and reinsert it a couple of time to watch it. I also got Lovers Again (have not watched yet) and also got SDF Macross (tv series) I am watching that now and love it. Also picked up Macross Zero (cannot wait to watch that). I can get you these and ship them to you for cheap if you want. Up to you friend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then we get to DYRL?... (max 1S, kakizaki 1S, VT, VE....) Minor corrections: Kakizaki never got a -1S (he died in is -1A ) , and I'm not sure about Hikaru's trainer in SDFM -- I believe the much discussed one is the -1J Cannon Fodder.

Chowser Posted November 15, 2007 Share Posted November 15, 2007 You can get someone to custom make you a TV Max 1A. Just snag the arms off a spare 1J that is going to be clad in GBP armor. As much demand as there is for this version, you would think Yamato could just run a repaint. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Huh?? I thought he had his 1S head under that poor Valk slower falling apart in the sea? You do know i'm talking about DYRL? right? i need to check it again then as i was sure i saw 4 lasers. As for Hikky's training 1A(or 1J), i thought i saw (remember) it being a 1A, but i'll check it out later.

Only Max flew a VF-1S cause he was designated Skull leader while Hikaru and Misa were lost Hikaru and poor Kakizaki were flying VF-1A's during that meltrandi attack in DYRL?
