This statement doesn't seem to deal with any of the economic issues but instead just skips to a conclusion. i'll bet you would have argued that the orignal Macross Plus toys would never have been made either.

I'm gonna fix that now. So i take it you have no opinion on the availability of the M7 license? I know Bandai had it at some point but seeing as they seem to be done with Macross for the moment, would that make it available?

How very very odd. Thanks for pointing that out! So what we have here is a VF-1D with a VT-1 head currently installed... but the option to convert it to a VF-1D later. Um, i'm guessing the word "original" in this item is incorrect.

If they follow it up with a Miria figure I might find myself re-enacting some Dark Helmet moments a la Spaceballs.

Does anyone know how plausible it would be for Yamato to pick up the Mac7 license? I'll bet that would help with them making more VF-19, VF-11, and VF-22 products because there would now be more variants available. You could get Guld's YF-21, Max's VF-22, and Miria's VF-22. OOoh, then we could also get a VF-11 GBP!

Actually, that's a painted VT-1 head. The Bandais have an all black head, this one has had the circle in the middle painted white.

Check this out, I'm guessing it's a custom? Joons VT-1

OOh we're doing this again? Here's my newest count: 1/48 - 8 (LV, LVII, Hik TV, Max FP, Miria FP, CF, Roy Stealth FP) 1/48 Accessories - 3 (GBP, GBPII, S&SP) + 2 clear covers 1/60 - 11 (CF, CF TRU, Hik GBP, Max FP, Miria FP, Roy SP, Elint, VT-1, Roy 0S, Max QR, Miria QR) 1/72 - 6 (VF-19A, YF-19, YF-21, YF-21FP, VF-11B, VF-11B FP) 28 Yamato products including preordered items. I still don't do duplicates or DYRL items.

I think I might be watching. I remember seeing it and thinking "if this sells, I might have to let go of mine also."

This thread rocks, I just got my first taka GBP and was super confused by the box. I come to this thread, and there you go, the boxes were just strange. NICE. I love MW Forums.

I can't wait to see box art for all the new releases. I think Yamato learned their lesson with the original LV and will never label anything "Limited Version" again.

They should release a third set that is Kazizake's VF-1A, Max's VF-1S, and Hikaru's VF-1S. That way there you could have every DYRL valk. I don't collect anything DYRL but it'd be cool to see a company finally do the full DYRL assortment (mainly max's 1S and kazizake's).

I think it's a nice idea but I probably wouldn't participate unless it was for a worthy cause... and after Graham won his fourth straight drawing I'd probably get suspicious.

I think all valks look better in battloid mode with Fast packs (except maybe the YF-21). In fighter mode I prefer them all without (with the occasional exception to art of the Vf-1).

wouldn't there be a gaping hole right in the middle of VF-11 and VF-19 if they lost an arm? Especially if they lost the arm that is connected to the shield. I'm just going off the toys though. The VF-1 didn't have a gaping hole in the middle when it loses an arm. In fact, you can't even tell my jetfire doesn't have any arms at all

looks to me like the pic is just crummy, the camo on the LV valk also looks gray-ish.

RoboTech, no animated avatars. These Toynamis also seem like a great deal for those who like to do customs...

Somebody should PM me and tell me where to download anime for free!!! As it is, I'm stuck watching whatever is on Cartoon Network or one of the other networks. So far cool shows have been (in absolutley no order): 1) Trigun 2) Cowboy Bebop 3) Samurai Champloo 4) Street Fighter II (if for no other reason than the episode titles) 5) Patlabor movies 6) Vandread I've also managed to watch Orguss and Orguss II, they were spiffy.

NICE! The second set sounds like an easy winner, I don't collect DYRL stuff so I hope they sell Roy's VF-1S separately....

If Yamato re-did the Alpha and added a Beta with the same quality of the 1/48 Valks I would be THRILLED. Alas, I doubt it is to be.

Crap, I always forget which member told me this and in which forum, but someone said it was BigWest that always freaks out when Yamato talks to HG. So the fact HG and Yamato are talking is no big deal, it's getting BW on board that's the big factor.

That's the one! A little aftermarket lighting too (costs about $20 and super easy to install). Sure, gives me a chance to show off my MOSPEADA case! here's two cases side by side.

only $99.99?????

RT.com forums say it has been postponed until 2007.

Hey guys, thanks a ton for your compliments! Glad you all dig the set-up as much as I do. Yes they are. They're honestly quite a bargain. The big downfall is that the shelves aren't adjustable heights but if you're going to have a Yammy 1/48 in battloid mode they're pre-set at pretty much the perfect distance apart anyway. I was going to buy some custom display cases so I could pack more in but they were a bit pricier than I expected. Except for that pesky Q-Rau M&M display! I have two problems. First, my copy of DYRL for whatever reason won't let me lift a still-frame image, Second, when I first set up the case I wasn't sure what was going to go into that cube. I honestly never thought I'd buy a bust. Then I saw them at a store for like $9.99 each and since my brother was strapped for cash I told him that'd make a good xmas gift. I figured, worst case scenario, I could sell them next Xmas and make a little money When I opened 'em up though I was quite surprised by how nice they were and they worked really great in a display. The place that had the other two busts was strangely out of Max (they probably saw how badly roy and rick sold so they didn't order as many of Max). If they ever do a Miriya I'll buy them both and add them to the Q-Rau set-up. I have no idea where I'm going to put the VF-0S when it comes out. I'm gonna have to start working on a third Roy display!
