I would go with a VF-2SS too. Although i am not a big fan o macross II i really like the design of that mech. To be honest the two models i really want Arcadia to make are not Valks. The first one would be the Macross 0 reactive armor. The second one instead is the old yellow plane that Fokker flies in Hikaru's flashback during episode 2(or 3, can't remember exactly right now)...i think it is Fokker's only plane never made by any company.

Yeah, i thought so...too bad

I did not see any info here yet and i am really curious to see what this is...sorry if you guys already talked about this, don't have much time to spend on the forum in these days... http://www.hlj.com/product/YMT00075

That's probably one of the best toy that i've ever seen in my entire life. If in case one day it will be available for purchase i definetely want one no matter the price.

OT Anybody knows where to find the trailer for the new series (Chapter Elisyon)? I guess it was aired yesterday in Japan...

More CMs style figures; anyone is fine, if i had to choose I would say Kakizaki DYRL version, Guld from M+ and probably Shin from M0...(No, maybe I would with Gloval) in order to fill the holes left from CMs... So,does this count as three items? Anyhow I would definetely buy these figures probably two copies for each of them. I feel they are essential for a good collection.

Macross plus is the best! Anyway, am I the only who would feel weird to have different re-colors of the YF-21 or the YF-19 since we only saw them as prototypes and not sure if (or which) made it into production... I would.

I am not a big fan of the YF-21. I like it but I think Macross has better mechas...anyhow I am really excited about this because I will finally have the chance to recreate this image; That in my opinion is one of the most beautiful ones in the entire Macross saga. Two friends reunite.

Speaking of which, I have a question...once(about 5 years ago) I saw a picture of an advertisement for some mospeada toys(from Gakeen during th 80s); on that picture there was a Beta fighter of the same scale of the 1/35 Gakeen Alpha. I swear it was there. There was also written that that Beta was a prototype NEVER released but completely compatible with the ALPHAs. Does any of you know what I am talking about or have info about where to find that picture? Thanks

Well, first of all I`d like to thank Graham for the amazing chance that he is giving us. You`re great! I would like to see more accessories for our Valks and all macross-related toys. And better shaped. I am not satisfied with the three white missiles that you find in every 1/48 valks. It`s the only part of the toy that actually feels like, uhm...a toy. And they should have red caps at beginning and at the end right? Yamato should re-make them. Also, having more accessories sold separately would be sweet. What if I want a VF-1A CF with a DYRL pilot rather than the crappy SDFM that there is in the box? I would say sell pilots, missiles and other accesories separately, maybe even stickers(in order to distinguish different squadrons). Everything that might help to customize your birds. Fast packs with different colors would be nice too(for Low Vis.1 for example). As far as the release of other models I am fine with EVERY valks in the Macross universe except for the Macross 7 models. Anyway I really really really would like to see a 1/48 VF-1S Max version and a VF-11B(1/60??) from Macross Plus.

Apparently as now November is the only month that Yamato do not have any releases yet...

Mine too....above all the left part. Wing and leg especially.No head. In the last year the conditions are stable though.

Last news; Baian Sea horse out in January 2008. Appendix Leo and Mu in December 2007(not 100% official but very very close to be).

Same thing happened to me Dante...usually I found sal fast and reliable...but you never know...

That`s not fair...well, I guess that the VF-11B muste be 1/60 in order to be coherent with the other two M+ birds. Don`t know the specific of the VF-4 though. Would it fit better in a 1/60 or 1/48? Anyway this means no new valks from DYRL?

What`s pass years page?

Too bad no-one of them are a VF-1

Wow the VF-O looks amazing...does anyone know where these pics come from?

Well, i do admit that the battroid looks cool...although i don`t like the fact that there`s no gunpod but vulcan guns a`la gundam(I guess). Anyway it would be nice to have the evolution of valks...VF-0,VF-1, VF-4,VF-11, YF-19(?) I guess we`ll know better once Frontier will be out though.

I really don`t like the VF-4. It looks more as a transport vehicle rather than a war machine...ok, i Said it...now you can hate me for the rest of your life... Although Yamato does a lot of repainting (nobody beats aoshima anyway) and rebundle I wonder what they are going to do for next year...Bundle for M0 are over. Unless they produce the reactive armor and that would be really cool. Of course there will be one with the YF-21 plus booster but i really really really hope to complete the trio from M+ next year and maybe getting something extra....

Just sent the payment to hlj...167 Euro...i don`t think it can get any cheaper than this...too bad i`ll have to wait until December to enjoy it I have a question though...mine has been shipped via SAL while on the HLJ pag there is written that ``This item will be shipped only through a trackable method and BLA BLA...`` How come?

Yes it is...I was just saying that I hope they could a valk like that. With opening cockpit and pilot. Ok we already have opening cockpit and pilot but not nearly as detailed as that...

Just taking a look at the yamato website... http://www.yamato-toys.com/items/detail.php?gid=1098 I`d really like a valk like this in battroid mode...

So just to sum up... August, SV-51 Ivanov September, Ghost grey type October, VF-0S + Ghost November, SV-51 Nora(?) December, VF-1S and YF-19 25th anniversary January(?) YF-21(?) I don`t like this scedule cause there are too may non-original products. Actually there is only one, the SV-51. All the other ones are recolor or bundle. I really hope that for the first half of 2008 we could see the VF-0D, YF-21 and VF-11B.

I know this is a newbie question and that you probably have already discussed this but...Are Hd-Dvd and Blu-ray region free or there are still the region as we have them for DVDs? I was interested especially with the PS3 situation. Thanks in advance
