Hehe... cool. A yamato yf-19 v1.0!!! mcpaz

I concure to that Graham! Anyway, I think Yamato wants to spend most of their effort in perfecting this toy, due to the fact that their previous releases were a bust. well, I'm sorry, but I do not agree with you, fury. I have a vf-19 and a very close friend of mine has a yf-19 (v2). Well, I know that we can't compare the quality of a 1/48 or even a 1/60 vf-1 with our yf-vf/19 . We have to think that the 19 was yamato's first attempt in doing a macross-line product. And, even though it was NOT perfect, and was not absent of QC issues, there wasn't anything in the market that could be compared with it. In fact, it received the 'toy of the year' award. BTW, Yamato made a public... how can I say... declaration of the type: "we're sorry; yes, the damn tab B is a QC issue, we'll correct it" and they did. And then came versions 1.2 and 2 of the yf, and finally, the vf version. How many companies (not only toy companies, but software, food...) do you know that did something like this? With just a few exceptions, every one of them tries to justify themselves, not to make public 'we made a mistake'. Yep, I like yamato. But I'm not a 'yamato fan' or whatever. I just like the way they focus and solution their problems. And, no one should ever question their innovative energy. And no one should ever forget that there is no perfect toy. In fact, in every new version, they are improving and improving (well, yf-21FP aka purple eater is the exception). mcpaz

Nope... I think that "fang yang" is much cooler and funnier.

Thanks, guys!!! Nine o'clock in the morning, just arrive @ work with tons of flu... THIS is the way to let my smile go!! manu

Try getting the AMV 'Information High' in www.unspacy.de And tell us what do you think about the end in the 'movie' version. BTW, no much differences between the OVAs and the movie; in the movie you can see Lucy naked and a couple of valk-animations that don't appear in the OVAs. It's cool, anyway.

Yep, I'll try! Do you know if you can get the chance to pilot a yf/vf-19 and the thunderbolt? Thanks in advance, Manu PD: thans a lot, w_maker!

Please, Graham, if you get a second, please take a couple of pics of your brand new vf-1s Hikaru valks... since it's going to be my first 1/48... I wanna see!!! Pleaaaseeee!!! Mercy, master!! My promise to make all .xls files you need! My promise do dirty work! Damn... I don't believe I can stand the wait... Tammin, please, don't make me wait too much!!! a (somehow) desperate mcpaz PD: I have just lost my last nail. I'm beggining to eat my fingers. In fact, I'm writing with my ears, but that's just because I can't reach them with my teeth. Damn wait...

Mmmmm.... 1.- A copy? Since Graham said so, yep, might be. <_< 2.- Original? Well, not too much. <_< 3.- Cool? Well, it's cool enough But, since it's going to (at last!) my first 1/48 yammie, it's simply... Be-you-ti-fuuuul!!! mcpaz (a very happy mcpaz. Thanks, Tammin!!!!)

Hi all! First of all, please be kind to me, because I haven't played any macross game before... but this is gonna change! I have a pc platform, and a nice joystick. I would like to know if there's any simulator/arcade like those form star wars based on macross (specially plus). And where can I get 'em. Thanks in advance, Manu

Amazing, simply amazing. As always. I'm going to improve my vf-1a fp as soon as I receive it... yep, you are an inspiration for all of us. Thanks for the pics!!! manu

the dark side is lurking me..... C'mon, the dark side is cool!!! Didn't you ever hear: "good boys go to heaven. Bad guys go to the funny places" Dark side forever!!!! mcpaz

Yep, I do agree... some ppl have a somehow 'strange' concept of modesty... My collection is modest (only 4 1/60's, 4 1/72's). But I will get my 1/48!!! mcpaz Yeah I call it modest. I'm certain many MW members have large collections but do not want to show it off, do not want to display it because of "MISB" syndrome , do not have a display case or do not have any room to display, and other personal reasons. Hi, 1 VF-1 2NV, modesty is a relative concept, for sure. Anyway, my comments are pure envy, nothing more, nothing less. BTW, its envy in the good sense (it's the 'I wish I could have as many as you...' or 'how cool you have so many...' kind of envy). But this christmas.... yamatos a-tutiplen for everyone!!!! regards, manu

Damn Sony and its playstation!!! I thought that Graham in holidays, with familiar compromises or outer space, since we didn't hear anything new about yamato and its upcoming toys (1/72 line, yf-19 FP, 1/60 line, 1/48....), or anything! And the reason was... that game! Well, maese Graham, I'm going to forget your birthday (too much busy @ work), so... happy birthday!! I hope your wife and relatives give you a big bunch of Yamatos!!! regards, Manu

Yep, I do agree... some ppl have a somehow 'strange' concept of modesty... <_< My collection is modest (only 4 1/60's, 4 1/72's). But I will get my 1/48!!! mcpaz

If you need anything, try here. I'm pretty sure we may be helpful. Do not hesitate. It's very easy to say "i'll help you", I know, but I'll do my best. Sure, do not hesitate. Mcpaz

Hi Sonic, Welcome to the mac+ freaks... and I'm sorry about your yf-21's wonderful-but-so-damn-weak antenna. mcpaz

Of course! They are sons from the same father... Holy Kawamori...

Grrr.... damn perspective... It's cool, anyway!!

Hi all, Am I the only one who believes that, if we look in a dictionary the word 'skills', or in mighty google "modelling skills", wm-cheng's face is going to appear? Two words: simply brilliant. I do agree with all mw'ers: yf-19 close to yf-21... are a must. B) Thanks very much for your lessons, really. You're making real fans here! I'll look forward your next project too. Even if it's made of thootpicks. I don't care, I would have a photo of it as a wallpaper. Sure. mcpaz

The more I see your topics, the more I realize why they are the most viewed... B) keep' em (pics) coming!!! Please!!! BTW, just two words in my mind: amazing work. mcpaz

Just one thing... take good care of your brand new computer heat dissipation. In the company where I work, Toshiba has been... how can I say, excomulgated. We have lost more than 9000$ in PCs these last year, with Satellite Pros... Anyway, good luck. Manu

mmmm.... I can't see the point... <_< "gritty functionality of a battleship and futuristic aerospace aesthetics". Yep. Didn't ya see the HUGE aircraft ship? WTH does that kind of ship in space? I think that sarcasm is not the word. Only two chances for me: or the guy at charge of the text wrote it with its ass, or he has under some kind of curse, spell or whatever. (a ship in space?? futuristic?? Sorry guys, such a strange incongruity in my mind is destroing my only neuron left...) Manu

Hey Graham, didn't you seriously think to dedicate your life to politics? You have a strange ability to speak without saying anything... We're sooo excited waiting for the upcoming news... please, show mercy!!! Can't you at least say something like "what I have seen is by far the best vf-19 ever" or "the upcoming yf is very very cool..." something, pleeeeaseee!!! Mercy, master, mercy!! mcpaz

Hi all, if you complained about the 1/48 box size, for all of you that want to buy this... 1J w/o FP 1J w/ FP He he... guess a size and shipping costs? You see, it seems officially said that yamato's selling both VF-1J w/ and w/o Fast Packs... mcpaz

Thanks everyone! Yes, master... can you post a photo of your damn-big collection, pleeeeeaaaseeee ? (BTW, I must be already at the dark side; I still hate you... ) Just one question (for curiosity, of course): how long have you been collecting yamatos? Your 1/72 numbers make me think that you might be a 'happy'... ahem... "damn tab B" owner, aren't you? So you might be, as Graham and Shawn, one of the 'pre-diluvian' masters of the sith, I guess... If so, I'm presenting you my respects... (I still have hate running through my veins... ) Mcpaz (yeah, I should say frustrated mcpaz.... )
