Another South American here

I´m from Argentina (there are others on this forum too)

Me likes that design

if you really want to see the heat build up, mention perfect transformation and 1/55 vs 1/60 thread from 3 years back LOL. People think we are tense now, they aint seen NOTHIN! Hell people started flaming graham for his chunky monkey review as well! we were WAY more tense back then!

I remember those days Shin!

And I sure remember when Graham was flammed and told his chunky monkey review was biased!!

Guys don´t panic about the size of a possible König at 1/60!

Remember that the VB-6 is smaller compared to the MkII Monster.

Think about shuttle mode next to a 1/60 VF-1 and that will be the size of the toy, sure it´s big but not like the MkII Monster

I have a dream

they may not be as sturdy as the vintage stuff, but they look a helluva lot better... If appearance is what you are after as opposed to playability.

What you said!!!

What I love about Macross? Just three categories:

1. Story

2. Valkyries (being the VF 1 the holy grail)

3. Enemy mecha.

Got my Q-Rau from Kevin today!!! (Pristine condition as usual)

Man this toy ROCKS

I´m not a bit disappointed, I´m glad I bought it and have no issues with the price.

Question though: My Super O in fighter mode where the back and chest plate come together, the gap there is larger than normal... Has anyone else noticed this?

This is common to all VT´s but it doesn´t bother me. I really like the 1/60 VT and VE, they´re among my favorites!

Your help is truly appreciated Hayao Kakizaki

yamato stayed true to the original design and didn't alter it based on "it'll be so much cooler if". instead they stuck with the original line art which IMO was smarter than making their "own version" of it.

its not fair to compare the q-rau to a valk. simply cause the valk was designed and drawn with poseable features as the q-rau was mostly seem in fixed positions. it was also far easier to create "swivel joints" for poseability for a valk without having to alter the original design....too much.

besides, could you imagine all the bitchin if they made the q-rau different from whats it was suppose to look like? i can only imagine dozen upon dozen of threads devoted to bashing this toy if it didn't look exactly like it was suppose to.

the legs are too thin.

the feet are too small.

the arms are suppose to be curved,

the knees shouldn't bend like that,

its not suppose to have knees,

whats up with those elbows,

WTF is up with that BS?

and everything else you could imagine people here would complain about.

no matter what yamato makes, theres always something to bitch about.

What you said!

I think (when you compare to the line art) that the Q-Rau is the most accurate toy that Yamato has produced so far. I´m a Q-Rau fanatic and proportion and sculpt wise it gets a ten in my book!

I should get my Q-Rau from Kevin in a day or two and I know for sure that when I open the damn box I won´t be dissapointed

This toy is what I expected.

I will

Thanks Graham

Given the small scale this toy has a nice sculpt and lots of detail, I find all modes to be decent. Unlike many others I like gerwalk mode.

What can I say? I like what I see, I´m gonna buy it (also waiting for a bigger version).

Hi there, hope you enjoy this great community known as Macrossworld

It seems you got "special treatment" from the guys a t USPS

Everything I bought from Kevin came down here to South America in pristine condition. Each package survived USPS, and the reatrds from customs and the Argentine Postal Service.

The items he mentioned are primarily designed to kill others

Primarily designed to kill the ones that give us the poopy eye when looking at our collections

Waiting to get mine also from Kev

Good to hear you enjoyed it, I know I´ll enjoy my Q-Rau when it arrives!

Little correction

All 1/60´s except the VE, VT and VF 1D can wear the GBP. I´ll buy multiples for the VF1J and my cannon fodders.

Back on topic I´m among the group that voted the Q-Rau is reasonably priced. And I dont support the theory (of other members not you Hayao) that although as big as the 1/48 VF, it is not an equaly complicated design (cause it doesn´t transform).

The Q-Rau is a rather complex production design, take it apart and you´ll all see! Yamato is pretty familiar with the transformation process of the VF 1. Perfect transformation is the only new feature introduced. The Q-Rau is a completely new toy. Although the Rau doesn´t transform, it sports many joints, ratcheted joints, many hinges, missiles covers that can be open (which work thanks an internal mechanism), rotating figers and gun barrels, cockpit (that opens thanks a much more complex mechanism than the single hinge of the 1/48) and so on.

I like the Rau, I´m waiting till Kevin gets mine, it´s the only toy in the market so I´ll buy it.

Well there go my stupid 0.02 cents

is that mean the back pack armor are using other method to put it on?

I don't know...

Yes, the back pack armor uses another method

I think that which product have a larger market ?

obviously is the 1/48 FAST PACK... because just have 2 1/60 VF-1 can wearing the gbp armor,

the other side, all the 1/48 VF-1 can put on the FAST PACK, and seems every 1/48 owner must buy at least one set of it, but not all the 1/60 owner will buy this GBP-1 ARMOR.

Excellent, keep up with the good work Rob

AHHHH This is good news!!!

But please like Sebastian said, a nice butt this time.

Round, firm and with a nice crack

Always late to the party!

Look at my avatar

I really like what I see!!! it seems to be all I expected.

Can´t wait till Kevin recieves his shipment.

1/60 will do for me (to display with all of my 1/60´s). I´d also buy a 1/48 version.
