Now the question due to the statement that its a model, so do we have to paint it or does it come prepainted. If its prepainted, taking into consideration that it's of diecast and abs construction, then i would say the price is just about right for me.

Cheers

So a little over US$130 (before taxes and shipping).

So does the 240mm mean from feet to head or from feet to the tips of the main guns?

Personally, I'd still like to see the Macross in a scale that makes it slightly (but noticeably) larger and bigger than the 1/48 Valks. Gotta make the namesake of the series stand out in the display!

If we're talking the 240mm (24cm) being measured from head to feet for the Macross, then yeah it probably is comparable to the 1/48 VF-1's.

But if the 240mm measurement is from the top of the big guns to the feet (with the guns in the position they're in in these pictures), I'm guessing it would look "smaller" than the various Valks that recon mentioned.

Could this possibly be the item graham is hinting about? :lol:

From the description, i can see "ABS" and "PVC" but not sure about die cast. You guys sure bout this? Even if there's diecast, i'm sure its gonna be bare minimum to hold some joints.

whooott!! this is great news! I hope this comes out as a toy rather than a model cause Im too lazy to build one...but since its from Wave, I wouldnt set my hopes too high

this would be nice as a backdrop for 1/48's photoshooting...as if the SDF is at a distance away...

If Graham knew about this then he shouldn't have had to hide it being as it has nothing to do with Yamato.

Either way it's pretty awesome, I will look into affording it when it comes out.

btw, anyone esle think the acronym for the line is hilarious?

That picture in CF-18's post, on the right, is that a 1/60 VF-0s next to the SDF-1? If so, ummm, yeah I like this scale.....

Edit..... Wait I am an idiot, if thsi is Wave's table then that would likely be their 1/72 Vf-0S Battroid kit. Still, I think the scale is not terribly small and I'd buy one or two for that price if I am not mistaken.

~Edit number 2, OK I was under the incorrect assumption that the Wave kit was 1/72.....Doh, every time I look back at the thread it keeps getting smaller. Time for me to shut up and get out a ruler :p

I have no idea what you mean... WHAM! :p:lol:

This SDF-1 is like a bolt out of the blue, isn't it? It is a bit pricey, but it looks so good that if it is confirmed that it is fully transformable, and pre-painted with minor assembly, I'm very tempted to pre-order one.

Does anyone know if HLJ will be carrying this thing... the 5% early bird discount will make the deal a little sweeter.

So this is the same mold as the Yellow Submarine model, I wonder how durable it is, since the model itself is resin and kinda heavy i hope this does not break as soon as it is transformed.

the wave model is made of diecast + abs + pvc (for details).

i think it's more durable than resin

i dont think they'be used the yellow sub mold. it's 1/4000 and this one is 1/5000 ... and the proportions are quite different :
