  1. As much as I'd like to get a 1/48 VF-0, people will start screaming that it's too big! Hell, the VF-0 is larger than the YF-19, and a bunch of people scream that a 1/48 M+ valk is monsterously big and impractical........... <_< I WANT ONE!
  2. C'est flame-bait. Quelque chose pue ici, et c'est la puanteur d'un troll.
  3. If it's just to have a 1/48 to play with, I'd recommend getting a VF-1A of whatever type and playing with that. Just take the time to make the right decision. I made the wrong one about seven years ago and opened up a Star Wars action figure from the original Return of the Jedi figures, and I've seen it going in the 100s... If you are certain you will enjoy it, open it up and love it everyday! Love it, don't LOVE it! Otherwise, get a 1/48 and customize it to look like a Low Viz or whatever!
  4. I'd recommend Valkyrie Exchange, I got a 1/48 from them and it arrived fine with nothing from our friends les douanes, no fees, everything arrived in great condition, and very quickly might I add. With HLJ, I know I had a bad experience once, when our friends les douanes butt-raped me on two packages I got from HLJ, two packages about 100€ per package, and had to pay about 80€ of fees for the both of them. And, with HLJ, I've been waiting for other items that I ordered when they were "in stock" when I put in my request (non-macross stuff), and I've been waiting for over a month and a half for items which should be relatively easy to get in stock. I'd bitch about the CMs Macross figures I tried to get from them, but that wasn't their fault, those things sold out faster than a blink of the eye!
  5. Happy Thanksgiving Macross World! "The day humans gave music to Zentraedi, and the Zentraedi got culture" Or "The day thumans gave Minmay to Zentraedi and... uh nevermind!"
  6. Damn, I was gonna mention that! I had a battery operated TM Desert Eagle, and it SUCKED HARD! If that M4 continues the tradition of the battery operated pistols, I wouldn't buy my kids a piece of crap like that (not that I have any yet). I spent a lot of my childhood playing wargames with toy guns. Okay, someone in my Psych class in Highschool said I looked like a serial killer and I was voted one of the top three students that was likely to go Columbine at school, but other than that nothing happened! Political correctness, the new anti-communism.
  7. Right, now where are those poll-happy people? That could sort that out. I want a Q-Rau, I want a 1/48 YF-19, I want my crap to be in the same scale, although I think I'll just get a 1/60 Q-rau... Oh screw it, if they make a 1/48 to be in scale with the VF-1 I'll see about it. I want a VF-19A maybe, but I don't like the Macross 7 19 variants. I do want a VF-22 though, I think they look cool. Oh yeah, sorry but.. VF-4!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I wants!!!
  8. I don't have any pics right now, but I suggest for a front view, that you check out the cover of Macross Digital Mission VFX, there's a front view of the VF-1 (as well as some of the other valks).
  9. I remember reading a while back that there's going to be an Escaflowne OVA series, it could be that. I don't remember when or where, so take it with a grain of salt guys! I do hope it's a Macross project though, not that I'd mind more Escaflowne.
  10. I push up from the underside of the valk when I'm going through the Gerwalk to Battroid transformation. I find that the easiest way to open the hatch. God, the first time I transformed my first 1/48 every crack I heard from the legs while transforming it had me shivering with fear! And I kept sweating thinking, "crap! Did I break it!?"
  11. Now that's what I'm talking about! Speaking of which, need to get a Q-Rau when it comes out!
  12. A 1/60 vf-1a costs approx $50 to about $70 A 1/48 vf-1a costs approx $120 to about $150. I dont know if you actually sat down and thought about it but that's more than double the price for a "few inches". Given the popularity of the yf 19 alone. The price would be even greater. So let's see... that's about $450 for three toys with a few measely inches added to them. WTF is this about?? You talk as if the concern for price is a non-issue. I dunno what money tree you're standing under but for many of us, it is an issue. Bypassing the 1/60 scale to accomodate rich, size-crazed asses like yourself, seems a bit illogical. And when 1/60 does well, (when it's made) which it will..., like you said..., "Yamato would eventually just make them in 1/48 anyways". SO.... Then technically, you shall get your 1/48... 1/48 ONLY people, you guys are a minority. Not that it's a bad thing... but when you start suggesting we skip the 1/60... then it becomes a bad thing.... Yeah, but also look at how much more complicated the 1/48 VF-1 is in comparison to the 1/60. There are so many parts to it! The Monster is gonna be big and expensive, I mean DAMN it's a monster in size and it's 1/60! With tthe size of that box you could house a couple bums in it in the street! I really don't mind if they make 1/60 valks, in fact I encourage it! Let those who want a smaller valkyrie have their smaller valkyrie. But, quit pissing on our parade because we want something big, that you're afraid will take away from the things you want to see made. If it costs our eyes from our head, and we still want it, then so be it! I don't see what the hell the big fuss is about if there are those who don't mind paying a butt-load of money! And what's with bringing in the insults now? Don't start degenerating this thread into a bunch of name calling, please! If they make a 1/60 scale good, if they don't and bypass it for a 1/48 then insult Yamato, but let's not let this degenerate into a flame war!
  13. Or even better, one of the many many chanbarra samurai films from the 60's and 70's. Akira Kurasawa's stuff is a good place to start. Watch the original Zatoichi movies, they rock! Not that new crap with Beat Takeshi! There's Yojimbo (with the Western adapted "Fist Full of Dollars"), The Seven Samurai (with the Western adapted "The Magnificant Seven"), and the Samurai Trilogy with Toshiro Mifune as Miyamoto Musashi. I still gotta see Kill Bill, but I don't have high hopes for that movie, maybe I'll be surprised!
  14. We wants it! We needs it! Our... prrrrrrrr-ecious!! Need a VF-4 and a 1/48 VF-11 (I don't give a damn if I can ride them to work, I want them in the same scale range as my 1/48 VF-1, regardless that they're bigger and will have a box that I could fit a dead hooker's body in!).
  15. I'll go for a 1/48 YF-21! Give me a 1/48 VF-11 thank you very much! And of course the VF-4 (yes I am obsessing on it). They could probably strengthen up the delicate areas with metal parts that normally a smaller one might not be able to have because the metal parts would be too small and weak. On a 1/48 VF-11 they might be able to do away with those shoulder bars that the 1/72 VF-11 has. Just wondering, but has anyone had any accidents yet with their pilots? Cat eating it. Kid eating it. One of you getting hungry and deciding to see what gummi-pilots taste like. Candle falling in the cockpit during a romantic dinner (sorry, couldn't resist! )?
  16. I'll obsess about hoping what they will release! Knudge-knudge wink-wink VF-4 knudge-knudge wink-wink Oh do I wish! Maybe stuff from the Variable Fighter Experimental Program? SW-XA1? SW-XA2? There's so many possibilities! Till then, I'll be obsessively and maniacally waiting for the YF-19FP, and then I'll probably wait for the Q-Rau!
  17. GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!!! I just got the same email!

    Future customs

    Just a suggestion, but why doesn't someone do an Appale Genki VF-0, like the Minmay Guard VF-1? I mean replace the Minmay picture with the little guy, and change the color scheme to tropical colors!
  19. Low Viz VF-4, any paint scheme of the VF-1 lines too! Minmay Guard VF-4! Actually, I would sure as hell buy a Low Viz version of some of the other valks if they released them! But I need a VF-4! Needs it, wants it! Our.... prrrrrecious! I'll just keep hoping! ... either that or I'm gonna learn how to sculpt and spend years trying make my own!
  20. Can't sleep, valk will eat me! That thing looks cool!
  21. If they make a VF-4 with the quality of the VF-1 series valks, I'm sold!
  22. Actually, yes I do hold up my valks and go "woooosh wooosh". I also go " vriiiiiii-shooooom!" and "bratatatatatat!". And slow motion while I transform it "va-shin choo!" Seriously!!! Uh foreplay prowess.... I'm imaginative and can make funny noises? Seriously, grown ups who can play with toys because they don't have strong schemas are generally more mentally healthy and can enjoy more things than less open minded people. And in fact my fiancée finds it really cute when I run around our home playing with my valks. I even got her into Macross, and she bought herself an Elintseeker and plays with it too! We don't commence mating dances with the valks, but I've heard of weirder things! Like this topic! If you don't understand why we buy them and play with them, then you will never understand. You can always try picking up girls by saying "check out the size of my nosecone, baby!" or "I'll show you, I'm no micro-human!"

    Whoo boy...

    Expect to pay something around €30-45 customs fees. I did when I got a shipment from HLJ for a similar price. Thankfully when I got one of my valks from Valkyrie Exchange, no customs fee, it was marked as gift!
  24. Is this a philosophical question?
