why would anyone get a 200 dollar toy? How about you let the guy enjoy his hobby the way he wants to?

First off neither of these are $200, second off I'm not stopping him from enjoying his hobby, third off I voiced my opinion handle it.

Why would someone get both standard and the one with the super? That seems like a massive waste of money, is the different colored pilot really that big of a deal?

So yea I like the Sv-51.......

So should we take away the side-arms of all the soldiers in the real world because they are already carrying knives and rifles?

Why compare real soldiers to fictional anime mecha? SV-51 or VF-27 please.

Nevermind...I guess...

I'd say ask in the 1/2000 SDF-1 thread, and my guess, no, they will probably cost an extra $80+ and shipping.

seconded.

Macross is a property that survives almost exclusively on the dollars of Devotees with considerable disposable income (or poor money management skills).

By casual I of course mean the people that buy the standard stuff, and not the overpriced exclusives, weathering editions, etc. So yea, I think there is, my opinion of course.

Everytime i look at the regult 1/60 i want it bad, but my faith in knowin the Glaug is a real possibility has me grinning from ear to ear.

I'll drop 500, f yas, i'll get my glaug. The poses would be unreal!

I don't mean to be a downer, but we don't even know how posable the regult will be. That's another one of my doubts, will this final holy grail 1/60 regult we've been waiting for just be an oversized toynami battlepod, but with an opening canopy and decently detailed interior?

Sure! since the poll is saying which do you prefer? I prefer the non sexy but more sleeker VF-27.

Okay fine, the SV-51 is sleeker then the 27, picky picky.

Bump

VF-27 looks more sleeker than the SV-51

Yikes I'm gonna have to disagree, the SV-51 is all kinds of sexy, it dumps on the 27

I agree with you about the Yamato connection being a moot point. Yamato is going to make what they make regardless of what Macrossworlders think because they are only there to service the Japanese market. They are only able to cater to Japan because of the circumstances of the license. It's a big "what if" for us to even consider the fact that would the regult be cheaper if they can solicit to the rest of the world. A debate that has it's own thread so we won't discuss it here.

The whole "compare it to this toy" argument is also getting old. I think you can read this thread from the beginning and I'm pretty sure it's been discussed for the umpteenth time. so if you're just bringing that up now, then do yourself a favor and read up.

The fairness thing is kinda funny to me though. At what point does it become unfair when something is too expensive? Because in that case... WTF Ferrari? Why are you guys being so unfair?

I guess it matters because it makes your opinion not matter.

I went ahead and read the rest of the thread, I didn't realize someone had already quoted me exactly with the whole PG gundam thing. I'm not really saying it's unfair that it costs so much, because regardless people will be buying these things, more then likely several at once, it's the fact they KNOW we will even if it is at this insane cost. I'd love to have one, we all would, I just think Yamato should try to cater more to the casual audience and not the hard-cores that have a surplus of spare cash to spend on a plastic model, that said IF I can find one at the opportune point in time I will get it, I guess I'm just a little pissed at getting jerked around on our major investments we're making to Yamato while getting big middle fingers back.

I'm sorry, have you read the whole thread?

No, what does that matter, this is my opinion.

Sorry if this a little out of line, but what exactly is our Yamato connection? What they tell Graham a few months early about what they're gonna be releasing? I think we're entitled to our opinions and I definitely think Yamato needs to get its poo in order, they expect us to pay $100-300 per figure and be okay with the hit and miss of their quality control, that said, the 1/60 regult looks cool, but it is insanely overpriced. People saying be glad they even offer one? That's not really fair, it's along the lines of just because you can doesn't mean you should, it's a large unpainted model, you can get a perfect grade gundam fully detailed and painted for $150-200 so I don't understand the method to their madness with this kit.

Digging through my old figures and collectibles I came across this, I no longer have an original Xbox so I can let it go. The controller and game both work fine, I don't have the instruction manual for the game or controller unfortunately, and remember this will ONLY play on an ORIGINAL XBOX, don't expect this to work for 360. I'm asking $150 before shipping obo, I'll post some pics if anyone is interested, I'm not sure if anyone would be into this, but it's the closest thing to a mech simulation game as you can get.

You just got me to spend 70 bucks and order one! Ha ha! No, actually, I am hoping I love it. I have an army of 1/100 Regults so I am hoping I love this line.

Thanks for the input!

Owning many regults, heavy and normal, was the main drive for me to start collecting a solid 1/100 line, then the new bandai hi-metal series showed itself, and I knew it was to be! Plus the 1/100 glaug is on the way, and I have several 1/100 destroid and male power armor models, so yeah big battle scene.

I just don't get it, what's so great about this?

What's so great about the vf-27? Precisely it's a matter of opinion, I find the vf-27 butt-ugly, yet I love the sv-51 even though I don't own one.

Good god the internet is awesome.

I heard that he wasn't. But that's all hearsay considering I don't own this puppy yet. But man, am I ever tempted. You enjoying yours? Everyone seems to be happy with it for the most part.

I really do indeed love mine, it has the best battroid mode of any valkyrie available bar none, and one of the slickest easiest transformations ever.

So I was messing with this guy earlier and wondered, is the pilot removable or not? I pulled at it for a bit but gave up in fear I may break the poor little guy.

Oh god, this is the valk with the ultra ugly power ranger zord looking face! Instant pass!

I might get a VF-11B next, definitely not a VF-11C because I'm not into buying several of the same figure just in a different color, and the 11C pilot looks retarded. And I will of course never buy 2 or 3 of the same figure because, to me, that's a massive waste of money.

I'm wondering when they'll release stand alone fast packs, so my VF-1J can get the super/strike upgrade too!

Got a lead on one.

I am in negotiations right now. If I get it, I'll PM you with the details. It'll be about 1/2 of market price-basically, what he originally retailed for when it was originally released.

I should find out by the end of the week if it's a go or not.

Thank you so much!!!!!

Might hold out for a TV Roy flightsuit 1S or a hikaru TV Super instead.

You're not serious.....right?

I'm not a "robotech purist", but I'm still thinking "what's with the ugly green color?"

I'm pretty sure you're trolling me, there's no way you can't know that color scheme, even if it is a little off.
