any chance yamato wil rpoducte a separate 1/48 Tv series booster pack??
also I means even though peole here are comming up with
stunning customs, would It be a wise thing to ask yamato if they can
make vf-1a 1/48 in teh standard brown tv series type??
I mean people would find another good excuse to buy more
than one of the same generic type to bolster their "collection"
perhaps even though I love the standard 1/48 boxes
maybe for the generic brown valk you could package it with
wings fully retracted. It would save on space,
plastic, cardboard and would be ideal for storage.
also will the destroids get the 1/48 treatment??
love to see at least a generic tomahawk
-
any chance a separate tv version of the 1/48 booster pack would
be released??
I mean since they are doing the GPS armor..
also one thing that would sell alot I know many guys have been
customising theirs but would a brown vf1-a be a suitable option??
I mean even though I like the yammie
1/48 boxes maybe to save space and packaging
they could release a standard 1/48 brown vf1-A
with the wings "retracted". I am sure manyw ould buy more than one
to "bolster" their models numbers.
any chance that the destroids owuld get the 1/48 treatment??
-
guys know if anyone else is selling a 1/48 strike valk booster
packs.. I know they are now hard to find but would like another one
in good condition..
-
does fulcy take Moner order??
hey bud nice arms for the 1/48 gps..
A request... PRETTY PLEASE WITH A CHERRY ON TOP
make the missiles on the armor "Removable"...
Please...

yo xstoys who is the chick in the eva 01 costume with a slash mark in her breast?
as with roy me want a TV version roy for my 1/48 yammie
roy without helmet lounging basically "wasted" in the cockpit
holding a beer can witha few of em scattered around
the cockpit with perhaps a apcket of cigarettes and pork rinds..
I want an ALL female collection of the macross series..er ful poseable
complete with Global the SDF PIMP:)
-
In particular will they be making the d model or any series valks??
-
sorry to get off track but my rei ayanami figure when i compare it to the box
pic of her, the rei on the pic seems to have a wider fuller
face, not sure if anyone has the same problem or notices that compared
with the rei pic on their box
Hope this one of asuka WILL be closer to the pics
shown here.
I wish you coluld move her head up and down.
I'd really like to see a 12 inch fully articulate version of both rei and asuka
ones that REALY look like them.
so far the gigger ones we get are nice but would want to change poses
(want posability a little more than that of a GI joe 3 3/4")

Not sure if this should be here but last time I posted stuff llike this it was in a toy section.
Firstly happy Belated new year to all.
ok anyone got pics of the new ultra magnus masterpiece collection?
secondly with the next line being another autobot would it be fitting to see
an actual decepticon.
I know last year a few mentioned megatron as a worthy decepticon
to be as a masterpiece project.
any ideas what transformer and how they would do it?
-
say nice smokescreen paintjob mod, anyone know what exact
red and blue the dude used?
was the rumor confirmed that dead end was supposed to be sunstreaker?
I could see jazz/meister as always a martini porche,
please don't sculpt it in PINK!!! any pics??
If they do warpath, a sheridan tank would be the closest one to
the old G-1 warpath
someone should butcher those large G-1 tranformer pvc figures
and get similar scale vehicle model sets and piece them together
for decepticons, If we aint getting no jets.
-
Lightning 06 did they have the wire frame editor for mechs?
I have been looking for that utility for a long time.
It was mentioned that i was on a now defuct mech warrior fan page.
mbs357 I think I know what sim you mean.
Battletech sim a few years back was meant to take off
with the ability to play other people,possible interstate
(planned but not done)
It is okay,but not I am not too much a mechwarrior fan.
Nice idea though.arcade game developers
should be listening to guys like you guys if they want
the loyalty of players' pockets.Worth every quarter.
Would like to pilot at least a high max against BT world mechs
Ironic isn't it?The BT world ripped off Macross for some designs
yet they get their arcade sim/pc sim...
(eg. of ripped off designs "tomahalk"= "rifleman" "glaug"="marauder",the list goes on.)
Who's back should we get on to get
a macross universe arcade sim?(REAL SIM NOT 3rd person perspective)
If BT could have one, surely the arcade giants in Japan should have
little trouble making one, all they need to do is simplify the controls a little
to make it easier to learn to play (NO NOT LOCK ON!!!)
IF any macross arcade game should emerge, the only lock on should be for
the missiles in gerwalk and fighter mode NOT "Virtual On" style.
(THough I am ok myself at it I crave manual aiming playing against someone)
The most difficult thing would probably
emulating limited physics of the fighter.As a felow sim fan
I'd like the valk to have a little weight perhaps some
emulated inertia on sharp turns.
alas I am still studying programming at uni still not at game programmers level yet
and could not get a sniff nof 3d source code and physics models yet
though wish I would get an
non functioning cabinet so I can tear out the guts, modify
and put my console/s/ pc in it:)
-
Nice rig? nice of you to point that out.
Very nice combo indeed. Have any guys out there worked out
soe drivers for dos game for that stick too:)
(almost tempting to upgrade)
I see many here have already taken advantage of the stick and throttle.
One wonders why No company has put this idea and Macross together, if so successfully?
c'mon, a real Macross sim is what we all need.
and eds out there for falcon 4.0 to mod?
I know years ago there has been oe used for
mechwarrior mercenaries but couldn't find it no more.
YOu could edit your mech, weapons, heck even be able to import and 3d
wire frame as your mech and mod the characteristics.Anyone got any leads?

Dilemma...
in Toys
Vostok 7
Ok your really want this Item, but you are strapped for bread and need
to get it.
Have you found places that sell this thing cheaper or is there only one place to get it?
If it is already at a good price,is there anything you can sell
to get the money that will not cause you doubt and sleepless nights?
Mostly I sell my stuff because most of my bedroom,storage space(my gal's stuff owns the place.)
I have kicked myself many times in the past for selling stuff
I leave it up to you,but only then for me I found
out that any 1/48 VF is worth more than the
hordes of barely articulate "George Lucas" plastic I had.
After the initial "pain".
I was glad to get rid of it all at the end.
-
yeah, after getting the1/48 J having an a, two S dunno, the m and m pair don't seem
as tempting... Good idea on getting alternators:)
As with the valk getover syndrome a possible solution "1/48 VF-1D!!"I wouldn't pass that up.
-
Flying Pika Meant what are them plastic things on the Hood of those Japanese police cars?
(sorry pika, some guys may not know "bonnet" in some countries means the "hood" of the car)
Can anyone help him out?
-
heh ,everyone is tight fisted with source code, if that was not the case we would be working with it.it seems many copmpanies still do not understand the joys of "freelook firing" or "mouse look aiming" while moving."(eg metriod prime is an awesome game,but to me the controls for iming up and down sucked)
as with RTbattle cry, which genius thought of turning it into a snipe/cs like game?(for me it really kills the idea of being in a mech much like ggblaze in sniper mode)
I thought the 55mm 3 barrel gun pod was more like a minigun, innacurate
at extreme ranges but good for strafing and in close to mid range duels.(anyone play the ut2003 minigun?,something like that but without the secondary function.)
as with HL as an engine for that, as long as people don't script,cheat ans snipe with a valk, then yes it is viable as a lan valk game.
there used to be a "robotech" mod for duke 3d at the now dead http://www.dukeworld.com for duke3d but it sucked because you had the default weapons.
my ideal sim valk game should come with free for all deathmatch capabilty or team mode with at least 16 players and can pick other vehicles such as the glaug,regult,qrau(ooh yess),all the destroids and also vehicles like the karyovin or dragon 2 with missions such as defending a cat's eye, gaining groud/space or capturing or rescuing shot down pilots.(similar or as the mission in byebye mars)
all have cockpit views and have limited ammo with reload points on certain large vehicles that can only accomodate either zentran or micron pilots.(these too can be destroyed,but you'll run out of ammo killing one.)
and perhaps mods for these would be new valks and enemy mecha.
To make things fair on people playing older mecha,the newer mecha though more manueverable holds much less ammo and less effective missles to balance off the game and NO SNIPE CAPABILITY FOR ALL MECHS.what is the point sniping with a mech designed for the fun of manuevearbility?

Kingnor Cool Joy
about your question on changing to mouse, It does not have to be that drastic or complicated.
Earlier controls of macross games to me sucked because though they thought of putting a "lock on" to simplify controls.
The lack of "free look" and manual aiming leaves much to be desired and feels limited.An example is macross plus, I wish I could customise all button rather than pre set controls and use the other "hat for movement" with manual gun aiming. There should be less emphassis on missiles, more on combat and manueverability.
I am both a hardcore simmer and FPS duellist and would want both elements of gameplay combined successfully.
(meaning less emphasis on sniping more on mobility and fire tracking.
a valk is after all made for mobility)
as with controls A joystick with a hat could solve some problems
I'd setup controls it would be something that concentrates controls more on mobility with free look, with sensitivity option for battroid mode.
The turning in battroid mode should have a bit of weight when turning not too easy to turn like an fps heavier than the turning rate of the high macs in gun griffon blaze.
I want it to "feel" like a mech. not some fps. I have been a hard core simmer and know that this config is easy to learn (even for lefties, just swap over the joysick
from right to left)
Fighter mode (joystick + keyboard)
-------------------------------------------------------
stick
trigger button=fire
secondary button=weapon cyle or transformation cycle
Hat=pilot look (with auto forward view then hat is released)
Up=down
down=climb
left= bank left
right= bank right
--------------------------
ch throttle with hat
slider=thrust
hat left=left rudder
hat right=right rudder
other buttons for airbrakes,weapon cyle
and more importantly transformation cycle(fighter,gerwalk to battroid)
keyboard equivalent
left arrow= left rudder
right arrow= left rudder
forward=increase thrust
backward=decrease
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
battroid mode
Stick
Trigger=gunpod (faster firing rate than fighter or gerwalk)
Secondary button =transformation cycle
up=looks down
down=looks up
left=turn left
right= turn right
hat= thrust vectoring for left, right, forward for up and down
(there is no point in making forward thrust and back because running forward and back should already provide that)
throttle
hat forward= forward
hat back= back
hat left=strafe left
hat right= strafe right
keyboard equivalent
left arrow= left
right arrow= right
forward=forward
backward=back
cntrl key=thrust button default thrust upward but + direction
keys thrust in that direction.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
gerwalk
Joystick config similar to fighter except hat is for pilot look
thruster/keyboard config is that of battroid
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This should provide easy mobility albeit limited compared to the anime VF
but has much more freedom than macross plus game. I hate relying auto aim
like all hard core simmers.I do want limited ammo on the gunpod and missiles
I'd also like to see the barroid controls used if
anyone one out there decides to include a regult or glaug to pilot..

any advance valk in 1/48 for me is a cause for "Joygasm"
That valk would be nice as a toy.
Does anyone know here (jump in anytime graham)
how much we non Japanese consumers mean to Yamato as a target audience?
-
Like the new dead end Like to color. So it is definite, Tracks is gonna be yellow?.
Are we gonna see alternator decepticon jets??
-
Out of curiosity, would prowl be brought back as a US color pattern Police car
or the old japanese police car pattern?(white upper with black undersides much
like the patlabor av98 color sceme)
Does anyone have the old MP-1 takara and can compare it with the new hasbro one, what is the difference
and verdict on the rpo's and cons of each?
So far not sure what to make of the new alternators and binaltech machines.
Hound looks sorta similar to his old self just that as a jeep he is a wrangler
(although beachcomber would look great as a wrangler.)
Bumble bee SHOULD be a yellow volkswagen either the old volks or the new one
The prototype tracks as someone pointed out witha few modifications
does look like "sunstreaker"
The alternators would not not be complete without a few DECEPTICONS!!
Please, for all those who love transformers DECEPTICONS Jets
or even a limited edition stunticons if all they gonna do are cars trucks or vans!!
Thanx again whoever private e-mailed me for this message.

Anyone there can help, I need an editor for mech warrior 2 or mercenaries that can
be used to edit mechs textures and wire frames and or animation
and attributes.. any one there?
ok I admit battletech ripped off a lot of mechs from macross but who's to say
their game can be modified.
-
Sim are cool, steel batallion is cool, I just wish we had thhem twin sticks for PC!!!
I just got an xbox for 2 titles SB and BC (ok call that heresy but it came before macross on ps2..)
I'd like in on pc with a mech editor, that sure would rock.
Greetx to all simmers out there
but seriously there should be flightmodel and map editors for falcon 4.0
anyone there got links to mech editors for mechwarrior mercenaries.
hands up wich simmer here wants a VF sim with cockpit view as opposed to third person view.
-
I'll see what i could do
So far it says it registers on n3 or E3 but I don't seem to be
When will Yamato Make "other new valks"?
in Toys
Posted
so the 25th year anniversary versions the TV series right?
I wish yamato would just make a generic white vf-1 body with separate heads.
it would be a good way to make your own squardron the way you want them to look like.
a double seater would be cool..
I hope there is a place to just buy the Pilot figures for the cockpit
genericpilots,characters,etc.
