Has anyone in the US got VF-0A Shin Kudo w/QF-2200D-B Ghost from HLJ?

How much was the shipping?

I know I can estimate with the weight but I have had things cost much more than the estimate in the past from HLJ.

Adding the Fold booster and FP's to my YF-19 has just proved again how wonderful the 1-48 VF-1's really are; I contemplated throwing the damn thing across the room several times before I got it to a point where I could live with it.

Luckily I had never needed to transform my 19 before since I liked the way it looked in fighter mode on its stand. Once this thing went floppy it just never came back. If I had to handle my yf-19 on a regular basis I would glue the damn thing in place and buy a second one.

What size/type of batteries do you need for the fold booster

Eternal D, I paid $169.00 for it at a closeout warehouse called “City Liquidators” in Portland OR. If they still have any more I am going to get another one this week, with all of this new Macross and Mospeada stuff coming out I’m going to need it.

Eventually I want to have shelves for each of these themes

Macross Zero

Macross DYRL

Macross TV #1

Macross TV #2

Destroids

Macross Plus/Macross 7

Non Cannon Valk Camo’s

Mospeada #1

Mospeada #2

Here are updated pictures of my Macross Curio which I first posted back in January on Page 18. A couple things such as my VF-17S, 1-60 VF-1D, 1-48 “Angel Bird” VF-1 & 1-48 woodlands camo VF-1/GBP-1S Armor, 1/48 VF-1 Clear Super Parts and Yamato Launch Arm are missing.

Just got it today...

For 75$ I can deal with the size of it

did you get it shipped for $75; If so where from?

You forgot Max's TV Type VF-1A! NO ONE has bothered making that! AT ALL! Yet its the one he kicked the most ass in(the one episode where he saved Hikaru, Kakizaki and Misa on board the Zentran ship then disguised himself as a soldier, and of course, the first fight he had with Milia).

Toynami did release Max & Bens's TV Type VF-1A's as specail edition Super-Poseables.

Since Katee Sackhoff AKA “Starbuck†is going to play a role in the pilot episode of the “Bionic Woman†I will give the show a chance; its always nice to see a local girl do well.

If fan to fan violations of copyright law concerning Macross or Mospeada were of any concern to the “true†copyright holders this website could not exist. There are countless art book & magazine scans as well as vid caps all over this site.

As soon as the Shadow Chronicles or any other Harmony Gold art book are published there will be scans of it pages all over the net. HG can’t prevent it from happening it is the way the internet works people want something so they up load or post what they have in the hopes others will do the same.

mondamoto, thanks for the feedback now I can go in to dept with less concern.

Should I be concerned about the condition of the DVD’s since as the website states that the

â€Products offered through this sale are clearance and close-out items. As such, product bar codes will be reconfigured, replaced or physically altered (including by means of cutting, punching or drilling). Some products may be open box. Some products may be delivered without full retail packaging. Except as expressly provided otherwise, products are sold as-is.â€

Call me anal, however I’m a collector who likes their items in as good as condition as they can be. If I save $5 dollars but get a DVD which is damaged it may not be worth it.

Has anyone purchased DVD’s from ADV which were under similar sales & clearance stipulations?

If you don’t live in the UK and you want to watch Top Gear I have one word for you “BitTorrentâ€.

You can get seasons 1-8 in one huge 28.69 gig file; as well as shows from season 9 and shows from the 90’s before Top Gear was re-vamped.

How much was the Wave SDF-1 at HLJ shipped? I got mine for $128.00 shipped since I pre-ordered.

The SV-51 has never done a lot for me but I like to get one of every type so I will most likely get one.

I disliked the shallow inlets on my VF-0A so much I left the inlet covers on in fighter mode; so when I saw the ridiculous turbine blade placement on the SV-51 I was really disappointed. If shallow inlets were required due to moving parts behind the fan blades why did they place the blades so darn low. By not placing the blades in the center of the inlet they just compounded a bad situation.

Due to the types of joints involved I will defiantly wait until the second release for this bird. I due prefer the Ivanov Type however so plain may change.

I think CM's Tread got better odds than Toynami's Beta.

I completely agree, when I was at the Portland showing of The Shadow Chronicals I was told that if Toynami made a Beta it could cost nearly $200 and considering every MPC Toynami has made has had QC issues why would anyone trust that a MPC Beta would be any better than the MPC VF-1’s or MPC Alphas.

On the THE (unofficial) ROBOTECH REPORTER there is a post which says the Alpha's are a around the same scale as the Toynami MPC's.

It was also stated that Mospeada will be released in a new boxed set can anyone confirm the DVD set?

I will never understand why people take pictures of these items and never display a ruler within the frame in order to give the viewer an idea of its size. Many of the displays have no photography signs and people still snap pictures so it would not be difficult to show us a size measurement.

I am really excited about the upcoming CM Legioss & Tread’s however I am sorely uninformed about CM’s quality, price, & plastic Vs die-cast content.

Hobby Link Japan sells a few CM items such as:

Patlabor, Brave Gohkin AV-98 Ingram 1 & 2 (Movie Ver) for $105.71

Brave Gohkin Genesic Gao Gai Gar Ltd Color for $173.42

Votoms mecha from $31.38 for single robots to $80.11 for a two Robot set

If the Legioss & Tread stay in the range of other CM items they will remain in the price range of recent Yamato Macross valks; so their should not be to much sticker shock, I hope.

I would really like to see a re-design of the air intake area; the inlets are way too small.

I never purchased the MPC Alpha’s because I was to busy spending all my money on Yamato goodies last summer. I was just about to pull the trigger on the red, green, & shadow fighter Alphas via Robotech.com but now that I see this pre-view I am strongly reconsidering.

Why so late for the YF-21. T_T

This would not be consistent with the flood of VF-1's over the last year in addition to the 2 VF-0's & the YF-19, my pocket book has been reeling because their have been so many releases.

mpchi, It's more like a quarter of an inch.

I had been following this thread daily up until the release date of the Wave SDF-1. I kept wringing my hands over the size and price every time I saw a new picture of the thing I just did not know if I should cancel my pre-order. I pre-ordered my Wave SDF-1 when I ordered my 1-60 YF-19 and now that I have both I am glad I did not cancel my order.

I must qualify my satisfaction by making a couple observations about its comparative size and display options. Although the size is smaller than what I had hoped far, the height of the figure is offset when it is placed on its stand. Once upon the display stand the height of the SDF-1 cannons are ~11 & 1/8th inches tall making it taller than a 1-48 VF-1. The figure shows it diminutive size is when it is displayed in “cruiser mode.â€

I got the Wave SDF-1 because it was a pre-built pre-painted non-aftermarket item and it worked well in my display area. If I took the time to build a 1/4000 scale resin kit it would not look as good as Waves. If I got a matchbox 1/3000 scale SDF-1 (TV version) it would be too tall for my shelves. I have followed matchbox SDF-1 auctions over the years and many of them were damaged, yellowed, or over priced. If I were to display the 1/3000 scale SDF-1 I would have to place the shoulder cannons in the lowered position which is not my preferred option.

Since I display my Macross items according to series I think if I already had a 1/3000 scale matchbox SDF-1 I would still get the Wave version to go with my DYRL stuff.

For those of you who buy three valks just so you can display all 3 modes at one time, the cost of this item is not excessive. If you compare $120-$150 for the Wave SDF-1 to what it would cost to buy and complete a resin version of the SDF-1 anything under $150 is a steal.

In short, until Yamato gives us a better version this is the only game in town if you do not have professional model making skill or you don’t want a “toyish†looking SDF-1.

Here's a quick comparison pic with a 1/60 & 1/48.

Thanks for the pic Graham do you happen to have a picture of the WAVE SDF-1 on its display stand along side of a 1-60 & 1-48 VF-1 in Battroid mode.
