Nani?!

Congrats newca. I just got mine this morning also. Cant wait to go back home and open the thing!

Drool... Sweetness to the highest degree. To think you did all that with decals. Truly amazing.

Nice. This is kick ass. Really appreciate the updates. Thanks Graham.

Such a KICK ASS idea. NICE.

I don't think anyone here thinks anything other than appreciation for Rohby's and Exo's efforts. Eternal_D's arguements didn't seem a least bit offensive... and I didn't feel as if haterist was being cynical about Rohby's & Exo's intentions for Eternal_D to refute about it either. So, both of you guys chill... Anyway, more pics please~

Could this event be the one that finally unveils the Yf 19 FP? My fingers are crossed. (like they were during EVERY event )

Even though my whole collection consists entirely of 1/60 and 1/72 valks, I've come to the conclusion that the 1/48 is indeed worth getting. At least one... I FINALLY took the plunge a couple of days ago and bought my very own VF-1S Hikaru with a set of fast packs. It kinda feels like getting married... The anticipation is high. Heart rate up. The 1/48 walking down the isle via UPS ground. Gosh... I finally got it... I wonder how many 1/48's this union will produce...

They're a tad bit too white, no? is there anyway to change that or is this the final? They look good though. Not to be redundant, but more pics would help.

Nice. Thanks Graham.

I dunno... I kinda get the feeling yamato will eventually give the Macross Plus valks the justice they deserve. More specifically, SOON... maybe even planning it now. It might just be my hopeful hypothesis, but I think it could be the reason why the YF 19 FP is being delayed and kept ULTRA secret for so long...

Put me down for a set. Question: I suppose it depends on the sales, but is it likely that you'll be producing more after the first batch? I just purchased my first 1/48 (VF-1S Hikaru) and I'm anticipating a 1/48 buying spree when I receive it so..... thanks

Given Bandai's anchorage to the Gundam series, I highly doubt they have much reason to compete for the Macross market. Although, I earnestly wish for it to happen. If it should happen, I think yamato will have a run for its money. Bandai has more than neccessary means to run circles around Yamato. And on the flip side, I think it's also possible that Yamato's Price:Quality ratio would also benefit from the competition. I don't think there's anyone who can deny the high price tag Yamatos carry with them. No More Monopoly!

Wow. Words are bit strong, no? Your opinion of course. I've had the chance to handle a 1/48 several times over my friend's place and yes it's superior in EVERY way to the 1/60's.... except for the price. IMHO I dont think it's worth twice the price of a 1/60... That's what's hindering me from getting one... With the budget I had, I think I would still rather purchase the WHOLE 1/60 line over just a few choice 1/48's.... But yeah, not to stray off topic, anyone have any pics of cool unique poses for the 1/60's? I'm running out of ideas....

Wow. Is this how people become when they behold their first 1/48? hmmm... I think I should rethink purchasing a 1/48.... Right now my 1/60's are my babies. I change their poses every two weeks or so and I dust them every other day. To think that it's likely that I will forsaken them once a 1/48 enters my world... Perhaps I should give it a second thought. Damn Yous 1/48!!!!!

1/60 Mac + to celebrate?

Every month or two or so someone says this. Those words my friend, no longer have any merit here.

If any one has a pic of an earlier build of the YF 19 FP, feel free to email me.

I vote no. Although I'm not in any way sick of the VF-1 series design in itself, I think I've reached a limit on spending good hard earned cash for another essentially identical toy. If I start comparing the prices of one of these things as opposed to other things in the same price range, like a PS2, two DVD Collection sets, 9 weeks worth of Fuel, etc, I'm kinda starting to question if it's really worth it personally. Again, it's just my opinion....

Holy. I'd say your stuff is up there with WM Cheng's... Truly nice job. How was it done? Care to elaborate?

It's the 1/60.

Awesome idea. Maybe even a hangar (with it's own dim flourescent lights) to top it all off. I'd position the valk halfway out of the hangar like it's heading off to the runway... I guess if we want to think of set pieces we can go on and on and on....

I hope not... I'm kinda hoping yamato is secretly working on it as we speak or at least talking about it. Maybe they started making the new sculpt for the YF 19FP, realized how kick ass it is and decided to give the same justice to the 21 and the 11B. Maybe that's why it's taking so long for Yamato to mention anything... hmm. I guess I'm being wishful. I sure do hope there's a 1/60 Mac + in the works. Maybe even the Ghost (with it's own stand). Ah... how blissful would news of something like that be....

ya really think so? I think it's fragile which ever mode it's in... Actually, since the wings are tucked away in the battroid, it might even be more stable. I really think it can get a tad smaller and still not mess with the aesthetic qualties of the box. For example the 1/60 OSTRICH. Heavens, that box is such a waste of space. The box goes to storage anyway, so it doesnt have to look THAT GOOD. My vote is for smaller boxes.

yeah true... But I'm affraid yamato boxes are only getting larger. They kinda look more "classy" or less "childish" (all for lack of a better word) when it's in Fighter mode. I guess more like a "hobbyist tranforming fighter" rather than a " HYPER SPACE AVENGER ROBOT WITH TRANFORMING ACTION"(). uhhh... I sure yamato has a different reason. But yeah, I personally don't see the point. Such a waste of shelf space... oh well...

ack... Let's not get too ahead of ourselves... We haven't even seen the new 1/72 YF 19 yet. .................... ehh... rub that... Dreaming never killed anyone. DREAM ON FOLKS!
