    1/48 GBP

    yah, well it's an airbrushed custom with weathering and the works~ of course it is... that said though, yamato's effort looks good too. too bad it's still too expensive and it's still as big as a sumo suit...
  2. That theory makes no sense Dave~ If that happened that'll piss off a mass amount of people who bought the cf vf-0a.... cuz not only do they have to buy a whole 'nother valk to have a ghost mounted zero but the one they CAN buy separately can't mount! that makes no sense... Oooooooh.... you talked about price~ I'm gonna tell Mr. H.~ j/p that's my guess too... and I think BOTH will be mountable. Regardless if they sell the shin vf-0a with the ghost, they HAVE to have a separate package because what about ROY?
  3. Yamato is not a god. It doesn't take much for them to decend on down upon us minions and read a couple posts here and there. And like you said, if they're die hard fans (at some point ) then they most definitely would care about what is said here. You're also underestimating us, the international market, which includes two huge markets the US and HK. Corroborating what Graham flat out told us and from being in a company myself where forums are a central hub where our customers gather, again I am adamantly sure they listen to us... I wonder if graham can confirm.
  4. I surmise that yang will be included with the fast pack/fold booster add on. I also suppose it's THE last special feature Graham had on the tip of his tongue... It's also further proof that this site has some influence over yamato..., to which I'll take advantage of and say: Release a major QC-free yf-19. Take your time and work on the fold booster and fast pack. Release it when it's not a half assed peice of plastic that screams "PLASTIC S.H.I.T FOR MONEY!" The vf-1ish leg bend Dave mentioned definitely turns me off with the fast packs. The whole purpose of the yf-19 is sleekness... hence the aero-dynamic dildo-like fold booster. If they're so intent on official HFH certified color schemes then get the basic design official.
  5. Digging the Shin vf-0a. Not diggin the ghost colors... it has to be darker... the ghost itself should be at least as dark as shin's heatshield canopy cover... the attachments also need to be about 15-20% darker. I don't know what yamato's standard is for coloring... it's like they have cross-eyed color-blind people pick out the plastic colors... They make the CF contrast more and darker overall than the anime, then they contrast way less and go lighter with the ghost, which is obviously supposed to be darker.... Also REALLY NOT DIGGIN that they release a Shin version AFTER the CF, telling Graham that that's the only color scheme there is for the vf-0a, causing mass confusion, then only to bloody release a shin version... And you KNOW everyone will have to buy it because it's Mr. Main Charater SHIN's and it has a chest stripe. It's f-ing dirty if you ask me... capitalism sure, but dirty nonetheless. Honestly, I really hate HATING yamato... I really wish they just think of us just a wee bit more than money printers, so both them and us fans can feel like we've gained... Why is that so f-ing hard for them to do? Pity really...
  6. woah, new pics~ thanks for the heads up guys. man... the fold booster is indeed a disappointment. Bah, that's it then... I'm not getting one unless it's dirt cheap.... because that's exactly how it looks. I'm hoping I'm wrong but why is it also not parallel with the yf-19? it's tilted downward in the front... AND what's up with ghost???? everything is painted so light... wtf? and I know it's not the camera or the lighting because everything else looks fine... damn that's light.... again... if the ghost is coming out with that paint job... I'm passing... the attachments definitely needs to be treated with some dark metallic paint... The color they got now is borderline pastel... c'mon yamato if you're going to sell em seperately, it HAS to be better than this... I was really hoping yamato will up the quality with these but they're half assed if anything as is...
  7. ahh~ so it is~ thanks~
  8. hehe It'll be here soon. Graham says they're not far away, and neova wrote in his site that the arrival is imminent.
  9. I remember something bad happening to the 1/72 fast pack version after it got mysteriously delayed~
  10. Yeah after crazy canuck mentioned that I'll never look at it the same way again.... of course, dante's comment about the light up dildo fold booster on the yf-19 was classic~
  11. Since I have contributed to the wayward direction of this thread, I'll put it back on topic with a technicolor version of the ghost pic shot at the convention: I can't wait to see the actual thing colored~
  12. Well, there it is... The "hater"ist we all know in his pure unadulterated form~ btw. the last post was me letting it go... this one's to confirm why people (not just myself) have a problem with you. cheers~ Edit: Moderators, delete the last few posts by myself and "do not disturb" if you deem necessary....
  13. Ok. I'm happy for you. I am however going to stop responding to your posts for the sake of people here at MW and for the sake of my hair turning white... it's the same thing over and over... you bite back after a less than applauding positive response, and then you turn the tables around and say others are being abrasive toward you... One thing you should take note of however... what's the common denominator with the back and forth you had with me and others you sparred with here? You. I agree we really are handicapped by not having the benefit of hearing each other speak as far as discerning tone of voice... and I truly do hope you are really a cheerful person that's just misunderstood because of the lack of an audible voice.
  14. damn, I was going to buy one from neova but he stopped his preorders...
  15. Jenius' statements echo mine. First, let me make this clear haterist... I agree with you and I fully comprehend your "logic"... I actually commented early in this thread that it'd be priced too high if the ghost costs more than a set of fast packs... It f-ing pisses me off everytime anyone responds with anything less 100% positively to what you say, you go into a jittery "why are you attacking me?!" mode... CHILL DUDE. I AGREE WITH YOUR LOGIC. and yes, I even practice it. I was merely adding to it that ultimately the rising base price of yamato's will rise whether we want it to or not... Price jacking retailers are a monster by themselves and a whole 'nother story... I only buy from respectable and reasonable retailers anyway... Any prudent person can remedy that by buying somewhere cheaper... And as long as there's more than one retailer, they'll be one cheaper... It's yamato's rising base price I'm concerned with and hence I said it was out of our control... and it is... bottom line...
  16. Your logic makes complete sense haterist. but Ah yes, there's another logic (the wicked logic yamato goes by) that must also be considered... and that is, that there is a following of people who f-ing love swamp land..... an odd community of swampthing-like people who would go ape-shyt over anything pertaining "swamp". So all of a sudden the deal you laid out there is a bloody bargain! What makes it more f-ed up is that there's only one swamp dealer in town and yes... that's YAMATO. If I were them, I'd already know my products are the shizzle to the fans compared to the competition (what competition? eXactly~) and that if they make valks that are popular and cool enough, we'd buy them anyway regardless if they kick our nuts for fun, dangling pics and tid bits of info... The thing I hate most is the increment at which they raise prices... JUST enough... you feel the pinch, but juuuuuuuuuusttt enough... that people figure, "F---it, that's MINE." I can swing either way regarding discussing price. You got a point. But you gotta admit... it's yamato with the leverage... they know that already regardless of whether we talk about it or not... The subjects I think we do have an influence for is advancement as far as quality and minor, easy-to-change details and voicing what we'd like to see made. Hence, that's where I spend most of my time talking about... *disclaimer to Haterist* dont think every counterpoint is an attack on you... the whole point of forums is to debate and discuss.
  17. Size is not always the determining factor for price. Actually, for toys it comes down to how complex and difficult it is to produce with demand also playing a small factor. A couple of guys here are simply playing down the hype in hopes to create the perception that people are iffy about this unless the price is right. Honestly though, I dont think it works. There are others, like myself, who are excited about it and have already said they'd buy it but only hope that it's no more expensive than the 1/48 fastpacks. Here's to hoping!
  18. Thanks for the heads-up! it seems that it's THE price to get one for. With these things selling out left and right, I preordered one instead of waiting for it to come out like I usually do. Great price. Considering how big and detailed this is, it's only $10 bucks more than the upcoming yf-19 plus shipping...
  19. At this stage in development, it might just be my opinion, but I dont know why this can't be possible... the mags have had their exculsives, moeyo went buckwild with their prototype and all that's left is release... Yamato should know by now that this bad boy will sell well no matter what now, so fresh pictoral perspectives shared by Graham should only further push the remaining hype till release as well as alleviate the pain of waiting for this thing... Let him post some pics yamato! IMO, the WHOLE concept of having stickers, expecially for the important parts even now with all the advancements they've made, confounds me... STICKERS for toys costing over $150 dollars to buy... It just sounds ridiculous to me. It's actually like what I disliked about having diecast legs before the 1/48 era... it looks off... to have important parts stick out and look tacky.... or in this case slapped on.... That and yamato's reluctance to have another shot at the hands or make fixed posed robotic hands. grrr... Two things that make buying yamato macross products less than perfect for me, every. freakin. time...
  20. Jenius, I'm hope you are joking~ Dozens of people will want to strangle you for just for writing MPC toynami and the 1/60 yamato yf-19 in the same post, much less actually saying they'll be comparable... the neck is there... I think it has to do with how the whole chest is positioned for it to not get in the way of the chin.
  21. Two weeks is what we have to wait for any new pics or info to be released, which is basically when next month's hobby mags come out. Likely about a couple weeks after that, we'll probably finally see this thing in funny poses through photos that the people in HK will take, then a about a week after that we'll have one in our hands... Graham, you got any morphine tidbits you can share with us mwers without a prototype and waiting in agony?
  22. wow. That looks awesome. I'd buy that for sure.
  23. yep... the game version reminds me of those bootleg cartoon character t-shirts I got as a kid with funky coloring...
  24. it's late and I'm tired... got my vf-19's mixed up.
