What scale is that? It looks tiny! But at least we got something of the VF-5000! Twich

I am just hoping that this seems to indicate that Yamato has not stopped with Macross toy production and we do indeed see some Macross Zero toys as well as the YF-19 FP...but one could only hope. Twich

I think that the system was clumsy, and would like a revamp to more modern games such as d20... Also, I believe this will probably be moved and/or deleted because it is not really relevant in the topic, probably other animes since it has to do with Robotech. Sorry Twich

Graham, was there any mention of the VF-0S in the magazine? I am still holding on hope for that. Thanks for the info Graham, lookingforward to seeing more pictures. Twich

No, one comes with fast packs and a better, re-inforced hip design, the other is the first one designed and sold, with fragile hip design and no fast packs. Twich

This was awesome, cant wait to get it on DVD. twich

Is there anyplace that is selling just the $250 value pack by its self? It seems that EB and Gamestop only have their bundles which raises the price to around $400, which is way to much for me....$250 plus one game would be nice right now.....so any suggestions? Thanks Twich

Nice first post...Welcome! My only rebuttal would be that the valkyrie has 2 thermo-nuclear engines, thus, as long as it has fuel, you have a limitless supply of energy for the beam weapons to use. Twich

Well, if I recall correctly, Both the YF-21 and the YF-19 used their shields to deflect, as both had Pin Point Barriers. I would not consider either Guld or Isamu as lame ass noobs....Also, the YF-21 used its arm lasers quite well to destroy quite a few of those unmanned planes in Macross Plus. I dont think there would be a heating problem, as almost all valkyrie incorporate lasers, and a number of valkyries do incorporate lasers as its primary weapon. I agree, the VF-4 was much more awesome looking then the VF-11 is/was. It incorporated laser weapons on the arms, in fact, this was the first valkrie to incorporate it. I think Macross has gunpods for the "coolness" factor. I agree that they are great and offer rapid fire capabilities and also something to be used as a melee weapon given. While I like Macross the way it is, I just think, for a practicality stand point, that lasers instead of gunpods should become the predominant weapons system. twich

I know we sort of had this discussion before, but I think it is kinda lame that the primary weapon system on every valkyrie should not be a laser system like the VF-17 and the YF-21/VF-22 and the VAB-2...having 2 primary cannons with infinite ammo located on each hand, or having a shield one the left arm and a laser gun on the right arm would be the way to go. No more gunpods, no more needed ammo. Just laser weapons and missles. Twich

Sorry, dont mean to be an ass, but I would assume that it is the standard 30mm shell fired from aircraft. I dont think it is the depleted uranium shell that is fired from the A-10. Hope this helps. Twich

VF-1 14 meters and change VF-0 18 Meters and change so, a 1/60 VF-0S would be around the same length as a 1/48 VF-1

The VF-0S is possibly coming out the end of summer, beginning of winter this year. Yamato has not said anything about this toy for quite a while, so your guess is as good as anyone elses. twich

I think that you would be correct, to retrofit the SV-51 would make it into something that isnt the SV-51. I guess that I have to concede that the ultimate in planes is going to be the VF-19 and the VF-22, hands down. Twich

I dont find Grace(Boomer), whatever her name is as being good looking...she is skinnier than a bean pole. Also if you watched the last episode, it showed Helo running away from Boomer because he realised that she must be a cylong or something. Twich

it has been rumored that she is an older version of 6, but again, that is just a rumor. Twich

Godzilla,as did I, that is why I thought they were on the VT-1 and the VE-1, but who knows....doesnt the VF-1C also have those little stubbies? Twich

I tend to disagree...while it does look a little thin, it doesnt look any more or less scrawny than some of the valkyries of present day Macross...also take into consideration that the SV-51 is 22+ meters long, so things tend to look a little thin in comparison. I guess that it is all a matter of personal opinion. Twich

Has anyone read any of the stats for the upcoming chipsets for the next gen of consoles? The Xbox is rumored to have 3 3.0 Ghz core processors and the Cell Chip technology that is supposed to come in the next Playstation is staggering, exceeding that of the next xbox. I hear that both Nintendo and the XBox will have ATI graphics sets. I dont know about you guys, but I am very excited by what is coming for the next gen consoles, and all three are rumored to be backwards compatible....which is good news to be sure. Twich

Umm the VF-1 has always had wingtip vernier thrusters....if that is not what you mean, than I am unsure of your question. Twich

The SV-51 to incorporate Nuclear Fusion engines comporable to that of the VF-19S along with arm lasers like the YF-21 and pin-point barrier system like the YF-21...do you think that it would be comporable to AVF like the VF-19/VF-22S? I think that if given a Modern Macross revamp, this plane could very well be a force to be reckoned with in the Macross Universe. I think with its maneuverability, 3-D Thrust Vectoring it could really be a awesome mech. I dont know, color me weird, but I really like the design of the SV-51 and think that it could be something that could be carried to any era of Macross. What do you think. Twich

If you do happen to bludgeon the manager, could you send one my way...I would pay for shipping and handling...LOL Twich

Arent they able to manufacture their own ships? One of the ships on the website, if you click on it says that it is able to make more vipers and spare parts for vipers. So as long as they have the raw materials, they are all set for vipers, it is just pilots that they need. Twich

Thanks, just PM'd you back...LOL Twich

You touched on something that I subconciously realized, is this going to be Christian/Catholic worshipers(Cylons) vs. those of the grecko following? While I dont want to get into a religious debate, I think that BattleStar Galactica does have this common thread throughout its story. Twich
