But that's only true because they sold out at msrp. Had they all started at twice the price there'd be plenty still on store shelves, we might even be heading toward an hlj sale.
-
Yamato would have an easy solution for that... make the MSRP double what Bandai is charging.
-
I would temper my enthusiasm on that... I think some other Macross merchandise has been produced by companies other than Bandai already and Bandai would only give up the rights to make toys when they don't think they'll be profitable any more. Seems unlikely they'd let the rights go with the renewals selling out instantly. Besides, you don't want Yamato making VF-25 toys right now... you want some more time to go by so it will be a truly third generation toy.

No, a v2 1/48 could be a huge improvement over the 1/60. Think anime accurate transformation, built in side covers, no neck collar, functioning chair out the head hole gimmick... you just have to dream a bit and it could be epic.

LAAAAMMMME. I'll try to get another version uploaded without the flicker . For now the flickering ends after about 4:43.

I have only two 1/48 toys left, my VF-1J Hikaru (Super) and my VF-1S. I also have one set of Super/Strike parts and one set of GBP. That said, I only have a few 1/60 V2 toys also (Hikaru 1J, Focker Strike 1S, GBP, and a VF-X).

I finally completed my comparison of the V1 Armored Parts and the V2 Armored parts. Here's a glamour shot, check out the rest of the post on anymoon -

He did say it in the thread for the VF-19.
-
Are you talking about the old Macross Plus YF-19 or one of the newer VF-19 releases? If it's the older YF-19 toy there was a whole thread dedicated to limbs suddenly falling off on those toys. If it's on the newer releases then we may need to dust off our panic buttons.

Y'all haters can hate on this paint scheme... I hope that just means I'll be able to get one.

I've been handling my V1 Alto a fair bit lately (I did a super parts comparison of V1 to V2 recently on anymoon). I have the Alto that came with Tornado parts and it's not at all yellowed (although it's a later release). I can't speak to the blue "movie" version but if you HAVE to go V1 the Tornado Parts toy might not be a bad bet (but I'd echo the sentiment that the V2 is a huge improvement).
-
I just transformed my armored Alto and Ozma toys from Battroid to Gerwalk... it wasn't so bad going that way. I also transformed my V1 armored Alto from battroid to gerwalk and that was a true trial of patience.
-
It looks like the Toynami has nearly the same sized feet as the Gakken 1/35.
-
I thought long and hard about buying one but limiting myself to finished licensed products is one of the few ways I can keep this hobby from getting outlandishly expensive. I'm sure we'll get some awesome Gakken comparisons pics at some point that will make me regret my decision.
-
Nice... there's a better pic that sums it up though:
-
Did kawamori suggest the changes?
-
I sold a full set on eBay that had been opened but without breaking that seal (funny how that's possible)for about $50... so like $10 a toy. For one that's unopened you might get $20 for it.
-
Maybe replacements for the Yamato Scopedog toys?
-
While you couldn't pull off a giant flying jack o' lantern you probably could do a Jolly Roger on the top of a VF-1.
-
With QE3 being announced I wouldn't be surprised if the Yen to dollar is 70:1 come late December.
-
-
Precisely. You get the sense the figure has no gerwalk mode but rather that someone gave up halfway through the transformation process.
