  1. Seeing as how Bandai Visual is trying to include every single piece of DYRL artwork ever made, does anyone else get the feeling that this might be the last hurrah for DYRL on physical media?

    As for those rare posters/advertisements, if they're still out there, they're probably very expensive now and in the hands of private collectors. BV's going to need to up their ante if think collectors are going to willingly devalue their prized possessions for a BD box set.

    This is why I ultimately decided to pick up the upcoming blu-ray release of both the series and the movie. I just can't see their being another physical media format after blu-ray. I know there is other media (disc) formats in development, but I just can't see how in this "inter-connected instant download" world their being a market for them.

  2. I have several items that I am looking to sell. All of these items are in excellent "like new" condition. These items come from a smoke free home and are well taken care of. They have been used sparingly or not at all... which is why I am selling them.

  7. Ok, I can live without the landing gear & the fists, but the fact that the gunpod can't attach in fighter mode is really unacceptable. What were Bandai thinking!? Otherwise, nice toy. Graham

    Can't recall.... but in the Macross 7 series, wasn't the gun stored in the leg? Also, as someone else pointed out... I don't recall this particular valk ever using landing gear either. Maybe someone who has seen the series more recently can verify it. Finally, does anyone know how the gun stored on the regular vf-19's in fighter mode?

  8. I'd buy them if they would:

    Improve backpack in fighter mode (like 1/48)

    Improve knee joint articulation (like 1/48)

    Remove the bulging hip joints

    Improve the landing gear (more detailed and less floppy)

    Have more Tampo printing

    Make it sturdier than it is now.

    I actually don't care about the detachable legs, in fact they can make the arms detachable too... if it would improve sturdiness and the overall look. I prefer it to be solid and look good over it having perfect transformation.

  9. You saw pics of the fastpacks for these? Where? Where?

    There's pictures and discussion about fastpacks on page three of this thread. Rumor is that it will be $12.95 per pack.

  10. Sorry, I really don't know where else to put this, there is no misc category.

    Dose anyone know of, or have any sound effects from Macross / Robotech?  The sounds they use sound old, fake, and very odd, and yet I LOVE them, and do not want to use more realistic ones for my flash animations!  I have plenty, but nothing compares to the original, especially transformation sound effects.  I was able to grab a gunpod sound from Macross DYRL in that one scene near the end that had no music, but 99% of the time there is to much background sound, or music to pull out a clean sample.  I was also lucky enough to get a folding sound from DYRL as well, but as of yet, I haven't gotten a thing from the original show.

    Things I am looking for are buttons, switches (cockpit) engines, jet flying by, transformations, missiles, generally anything that has to do with the VFs or the SDF.

    I have noticed newer anime like Gundam Seed using the same sound effects!  Specifically the walking sound (witch I could really use!) and I am wondering if they are in some archive somewhere.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    The Animeigo DVD set has an "EFX and music only" audio selection. So you can here sound effects and music without any audio. I'm sure there is a program out there that you can use to extract the audio stream and then manage it however you wish. Videohelp.com may have such a program.

  11. My review is the latest post on my site, to read it, CLICK HERE.

    I rushed it out so if you see anything patently wrong or even spelling flub ups let me know :)

    I'll work on doing some fun comparison stuff and setting up a second post as time permits.

    Great review. Much better than my effort. Think you are spot on in your analysis.

    What really struck me as interesting was your observation of how at times it is easier to just swap a part over trying to transform it, as well as; how more diecast would have made it better than an MPC. I always thought that it would be interesting if someone could make a highly detailed diecast valk in a small scale such as this, but rely mostly on part swapping over transformation. Similar to the 1/60 leg removal but expanded to include the arms and/or backpack, nosecone etc.. This would probably allow for having a better mold and greater detail ala 1/72 diecast models like those fighters made by companies like dragonwings etc.

  12. I got mine on Saturday. I've been transforming it back and forth. I'm really surprised by how disapointed some people are with this item. I personally like it. My background with collecting Macross toys/models is pretty limited. I've owned an original transformer Jetfire, Yamato 1/60 cf vf-1a, Yamato 1/48 Roy Vf-1s, Hikaru vf-1j, CF vf-1a, Low vis vf-1a and the first set of K&M Gashapon valks. I think what you think of this item depends on what perspective you are coming from. These definitely lean more towards the K&M Gashapon than they do 1/48's.

    Well here is my quick review. Considering my experience take it for what it's worth.

    The item is all made of a really light plastic (cheap I'm sure). I find that the battroid is the more accurate of the three forms, followed by Gerwalk and then the Fighter. There is a good amount of articulation and all sorts of poses you can do with this thing.

    I have heard some complaints that this thing just flops all over the place. I have had no such problem with mine as it stands right up in whatever pose I leave it in. I feel that the 1/60 I owned was much more prone to flopping. Once in a while an arm or leg may come away from it's joint while I'm transforming it... but it easily slides back into place. I find the overall transformation extremely simple. Only thing I really pay attention to is moving the breastplate from fighter/gerwalk to battriod.

    I treat my 1/48's like museum pieces so I'm often apprehensious to handle them at all. In most cases they never leave there box. This valk is alot like my Gasphon set in that you don't have to worry about snapping a $150 bp-8. you can just have fun with it. What I think will really help the 1/100 line out is if they make enemy mecha and destroids.

    If you are loooking for something to collect that will gain value over time, I'd probably pass on this. If you just want something to hack around with and not worry about it becoming devaluated than I think that you should give this a try. I know it's not much of a review (never did one for anything) but I hope it helps some. If anyone has specific questions I'll try to answer them. I don't have a quality camera so that is why there is a lack of pictures.
