Derex, great job man! It looks really good and very detailed in terms of color.

I can't seem to tell whether its a matte or gloss finish?

The same decals or markings that came with this SDF-1:

WTF, are you kiddin me Yamato!!! A near $400- with no decals. At least a water slide ones. As for the sprue parts, I can deal with tho.

Thanks KyeKye! Maybe I should gamble on the price to dip lower or a weathered version

I totally agrees! After all, Yamato is known to milk the molds anyways.

Even though I think this looks brilliantly well made with fine details, I still can not justify dropping approx. $400- on this relatively small scale toy that I think is not nearly as complex as the 1/60s! But I'm glad that it is selling well as I only see HLJ have them on sale and of course evilBay!!

Not sure how many are made, but it seems that HLJ is the only e-tailers available. I'm still surprise it even sells at its current retail price in this economy!?

Are there any die-cast parts? I think the box looks okay, but I could have been better drawn like the vintage 1/55 Bandai. I'm tempted to get one from HLJ at 15% off which I still think its still high. If it gets to about $200- then I will definitely get one. Besides, I suspect gripes on the first run!?

The tinted appears omitted on these ABs?

You would think Yamato would want their product to be revealed to draw in crowd of potential buyer(s)?

If it makes you feel any better, I held out on the Batman Dark Knight, Tumbler by Hot Toys 1/6 to go on sale and it did ($450 shipped). I thought to myself, in this economic down turn who'd drop that kind of money. Much to my dismay, it sold out!! As a result, I ended up going to eBay and had to drop $650 shipped.

Graham is bending the rules a bit here for us and its much appreciated! Looking forward to see this once you open it up. Perhaps, a video review so we can hear your English accent too

Hey Vi-RS, are there any shoulder breakage on your CFs? Are they MISB?

Damn! Now I'm tempted to get both the 1/2000 and the 1/3000. Looks like all my VF-1As CF are the newer clear canopy. This blows as I was digging that orange-like tint effect. Oh freakin well!!

I'd say pick the mode that best represents a scene that you liked best from DYRL movie. I like the scene where it annihilated the enemies fleet in space then made its way to earth in bot mode. Anyhoooo, mine has arrived! My bad for the pic. Flipped it and it still came out upside down ;(

I hope it gets to you safely because I hear custom tears up the box for inspection. But anyways, do you plan to paint your 1/2000?

Good gawd! What did you order?

Hah... I think I'm already immune to this potential heart attack from bulk orders. But I shall definitely post some pics upon arrival.

¥10,244

Hah.. I do, but a bigger home would be even better of course.

Awesome! Yup, I ordered 8 CFs for army building purposes

The box appears to be the older version though.

I can't tell whether the Macross Zero VF-OS and VF-OA the updated version as it states originally released in 2006. Does anyone happen to know whether the Macross Zero 1/60 the newer updated version??
