nugundamII,
So....my guess is that you did not see this....
So if we can't say anything....either can you
yes I did
Correction!!!! my comments were not directed to those that understood what I was saying but those that took offense that I criticized Crapmato
-
Dude, I'm soooo jelous of your collection! OMG! That Eureka is huge... Does it transform? WOW!
BTW, sorry to hear 'bout your VF-19...
Yes it does
Would you like to see a pic?
-
I thought I was being helpful.
No you were and I was not directy at you just the ones that started this whole ganging up on me

Its funny that I mention a few truths about the qc issues with Yamatos stuff and you all go on a rant and direct misguided critisims against me.
first off- i dont remeber how many of you here have completed about the qc issues here which has lead to the common idea to buy yamatos
second and third releases of their products.
I didnt insult Graham but stated the obvious.He gets his information from source and either he has a friend that works for the company
, works as a general marketer and passes info along publicly or indirectly via this message board and all I know if that information
seems to flow in one direction. Why arnt our concerns being passed along
For starters> I have included some pictures of my own collection, you should be able to tell I am NO amatuer collector
and I would first investigate any flaws and rule out user error before criticizing the product. I figured out the problem is with the post that
is attached to the canopy. IT is too long and therefore I cannot snap in the nose cone into the notch between the canopy and nosecone.
I can fix this by using an xacto knife and trimming that post but I SHOULD NOT HAVE TO DO THIS. The excuse of that I got a dud is irrelevant
because that would only mean that all the yamato products I have are duds and just proves my case in point.
and just because this is geared to adult collectors doesnt mean this thing has to be as delicate as paper marche.
By the second release there SHOULD BE NO DUDS PERIOD! and especially on an anniversary item!
THe price point does not match the quality and you certainly don't get what you paid for.
Since you guys have challenged me on the distinction between yamato and other companies I shall elaborate
Bandai SOC line is geared towards adult collectors with a few factors in designing their line
1. make them as close as replicas as possible
2. posability of points of articulation
3 quality of material used metal and plastic in most cases
4 Presentation in terms of boxing and gimmicks ie transformation.
for the most part they score pretty high for me. WHY because they seem to meet all of these factors without compromising
quality and price.
Case in point. I have Dancougar, Aqaurion-Designed by Kawamori, Gunbuster and Evangelion. Aside from the keeling over of Aquarion because the toy
contains more than 70% diecast, have very minor QC flaws which I dont have to fight with to transform or use excess force or modify, and their pricing is much
lower for what you get compared to Junkmato
Transformers MP line
STarscream=also designed by kawamori, also made of plastic and incorporates a sophisticated transformation, NO FLAWS. True to the anime version
and also spot on the F14 Eagle, which I also dont have to break things to get them to fit the right way, and much lower priced.
Same goes for MP megatron which the former and latter are not BULKY or BLOCKY so that excuse doesnt stick!!!
The fact that both these companies have larger operating budgets and hence better products also doesn't wash over well with me.
These pieces are also produced in limited quantities and are loss generators IE ALTERNATORS/Binaltech were canceled because revenues were low!
The only difference in this case is that BANDAI and TAKTOMY have other lines which are profit generators and can adsorb loss but the fact they make them means that they know
there is a demand for them by collectors
If Crapmato wants to compete and grow they have start making better products maybe they can cut the size of the packaging which is a huge savings considering the plastic and imaging involved
I dont need a box the size of a house.
Anyway
thanks for the NO support!I wasted my time here typing this!!!

lol funny thread.
You would think after collecting these things for a long time, I would at least try fiddling with it??? Yes I have looked at it closely. Not only did I have to use needle nose pliers to get one of the landing gears out, transformed it, played around here and there. The nose cone DOES NOT STAY PUT. It seems everyone that jumped on me here assumed that I did not try to fix the problem!
-
Ok
Just got my 1/48 YF-19 from HK (Anniversary Edition). So here I think it should not have any problems since this is technically the second run of this toy? I thought I got smart and became Patient! fart ...think Again.
Here is the picture of the front canopy and nose cone which shows a large gap and often will sag in time and having the whole nose cone hang much like the Koeing Monster. THIS IS BULLSHIT. For something that retails very high should not have problems like this. Bandai doesn't have these problems. Neither does Taktomy. With Taktomy's MP line, pretty much their toys are solid. Seriously, and they want to expand and compete with other lines ie REVOLTECH and whatnot. I don't think so.
Also, I wonder what G mans connection is to this company. Talks so highly about them but there work either continues along the same bad quality control pace or its gotten worse. Does he really pass along all this bad publicity to them? Hey Graham ask them if they want my resume!!!! I promise nothing will leave their Chinese factory unless everything is 110% condition and if that means that they don't sell anything oh well you shouldn't be in business if you cannot make a good product. I am sure companies would not last long if this practice of poor QC were applied to some of our societies more needed products ie cars, medicine etc
I was so looking forward to the YF-21 but now....even after waiting for the second release any hope that this company can learn from its mistakes is dashed. I wont make this MISTAKE again with my money!

Your main problem, is if you ever decide on getting just 'one', could you just stop there?
You should spoil yourself just once, get your fav valkyrie (be it the Hikky 1S or 19*), and swear on not getting another.
Sorry i couldn't be of more help. But you need to get atleast one man. Then be done with it.
and YES it is worth it, the 1/48's are awesome. as is the YF-19 + Fold/FP combo. Don't get the 1st version.
And you probably will HAVE to get the 1/48 Strike/FP set too for your Hikky.
This is what happens when you buy your first one
And I would need at least another 5 of these Ikea Display Cases to display all my stuff which is currently being stored in expensive plastic bins

I will DEFINETLY consider these now. The detail IS AMAZING!!!
Where can you buy these??
-
just to clarify, are you looking for a first edition or a super set?
doesnt matter
-
Thanks
-
are we talking about Macross mecha, or anime mecha in general?
Personally, i dont like the SV-51, YF-21, the Macross 7 crap and most of the Zentradi battle mechs.
outside of macross, im not a big fan of the Evangelions, Escaflowne or the original Getter robo's
what do you like and oh yeah Prophet sucked!
-
Hi Guys
I have a growing collection of Macross Valks:
are the 25th Ann. Valks going to have Diecast
That is what BBTS is reporting
-
*Inset god* bless Transformers the Movie for opening up the way for more robot goodness. Even if the story is meh we can expect some delicious eye candy from WB.
transformer blech robotech yeah!
-
Are they coming or what. I thought they said they would release them this year????
-
All in favor of home builder making a " man room" add on in the floor plans say "AYE" !!!!
I agree with some here that you need to make your displays tactful. I never display outside my Glass Ikea cabinets and its in the basement games room where the bar, dart board and pool table are next to the arcade room. You have to understand womens perspectives. When your doing the mumbo jumbo she isnt seeing a boy on top of her she sees a man so act like one! Nothing wrong with collecting toys, women collect stupid things too, but keep tasteful
-
Any news on the fast packs???????
-
how do you know megs "Rocks?"
I didn't know it was out already.
cause Prime and Starscream were so good you can only expect Takara goodness in threes.
Just look at the pictures you know they spent time on those
-
Where ever you're buying your toys you're getting shafted nice and deep. GX34 and YF-19 should only be about $220ea and Dancougars' is only $200cdn.
well
NOT in Canada
In Canada for some stupid reason the toys are charged an import tax unlike the US so of course its more expensive. the 220 for Dancouga is reasonable and for Gunbuster its so hard to find that I was out of luck with my regular supplier so I went to the guy who like to gouge me
-
Don't push him, he said he was trying to be impartial
FER 250 CDN DOllARS ITS CRAP!!!!!!
FER 100 DOLLERS its AWESOME
FER 120 DOLLERS MEGATRON MP 05 Rocks
FER 130 DOLLERS MP 03 StarScream ROCKS
FER 220 DOLLARS SOC GX 13 DANCOUGA ROCKS!!!!!
FER 280 DOLLARS SOC GX 34 Gunbusters ROCKS!!!!!!!

Hey all! I just unpacked my 1/48 VF-1S from storage, and am now putting the super parts on the back. I must be doing something wrong, because the backpack is HEAVY! So heavy, in fact, that it tilts backward.
I know that the robot has this small clip that keeps the back part from falling. That doesn't seem to be helping. The super parts also came with an extra white part, to be inserted behind the battroid's head. Is this the part that will help keep the backpack straight?
I must be forgetting something, because the toy displayed fine before I put him in storage. But for the life of me, I can't figure it out. Can anyone help?
happened to me too there is no fix for this
its called Crapmato
Try Crazy Gluing the latch that holds the backpack and back piece that way it wont pop out

Ideally...
in Toys
75% transformers
15% Bandai SOC
6% Toynami
2% Revoltech
1% Microman
.5% plastic baggies
.5% Yamato

The problems here to some are major... to some, minor. Wherever, whenever, whatever... it can only be Yamato. There ought to be a name for this... like naming metal disease / cancer - rust. From now on, toys poorly planned, made with subpar materials, manufactured thoughtlessly, that will lead to the toys eventual damage, out of order, kaputting should be considered afflicted with disease.
I name the disease, YAMATO SYNDROME.
I Concur
As for Yamato Yuck I heard enough
Make mine Toynami!!!
Macross/Yamato Collectors are Sadomasochists
