At 32,000 yen it has to be the VF-2SS plus the SAP together.
-
The Wave SDF-1 is only a little larger at 24cm (1/5000) but it was around $120USD IIRC. The Megahouse version is looking to be around $50. And, it's the TV version. Not bad IMO. Assuming the TV and DYRL versions are exactly the same size at the same scale then at 20cm this is looking to be a 1/6000 scale ship. Anybody want to check me and confirm?

Why do I get the feeling there will be a renewel version with design improvements much like the Bandai VF-25. Depending on the reviews I may consider the SAP version down the road.

The green and blue sections look like the legs to me and each foot makes up half of the single exhaust nozzle. I'm thinking one half of the nozzle swings left and the other swings right to become the feet.I'm wondering if it's single engine than perhaps the main body/torso will be engine in the back and cockpit parts in front. The engine exhaust will point down for hovering and thrust in batroid mode. This is looking like it will be a really cool looking batroid.

Definitely liking the standard version more than the "hero?" version.
-
True, I can see the logic in picking VF-1J first. But it's kind of like Star Wars. Luke is the hero, but many people like Han more or at least acknowledge he's the cooler character.I guess this will be a new Holy Grail VF-1 toy. Move over 1/48, there's a new kid in town.

BTW after checking out your link i noticed the VF-1S Hikaru preorder is up right now.
-
Is there a way to nominate Bandai for the worst box design ever. LOL!

Your most recent Macross or toy purchase! General thread.

You painted your walls? -
Well, that's an easy choice for us, Arcadia! Macrossworlders never return defective products! Macrossworlders never stop buying Valkyrie toys! Go spread the word. Let every toy company assembled know the truth of this. Let each among them search his own soul. And while you're at it, search your own.

I thought the original ecto-1 was an old ambulance because it used to be an emergency vehicle. This new one is a hearse. That doesn't make sense to me. Why not use an 80s Caddy ambulance.

"Not related to third intallment..." what is considered third installment? Meaning not related to 3rd reboot movie. Right?
-
If we all pitch in it wouldn't take much to convert it to a variable fighter, right? We can film it like a reality show and we'll all bond and become the bestest of friends and we'll have so much fun. C,mon! Who's with me?

Macross Δ (Delta) - announcement thread
sharky replied to renegadeleader1's topic in Movies and TV Series
I have had chance to examine all the available pics, and I'm on board with both VF-31 and SV-262. It didn't take much to convince me. -
OK, I'm on board the VF-31 band wagon. That didn't take very long.
-
So, we're talking something after TNG/DS9/Voyager time frame? This is not the reboot universe?
-
It would be even more annoying if his philosophy costs the life of others in the main group.This may be off topic, but I was thinking it would be fun for celebrities to make a cameo every once in a while as a zombie version of themselves. Maybe, this would be a better idea for Fear TWD, though.

Macross Δ (Delta) - announcement thread
sharky replied to renegadeleader1's topic in Movies and TV Series
I dunno, the VF-25 took a little time to grow on me. I'll probably come around at some point. I do prefer non-forward sweeping wings personally. My problem is it takes me too long to get on board with it that I miss out on the toys when they are released and later regret not picking up stuff. Though, I do prefer stuff that has some influence from real military fighters even if it's only a small influence like the VF-17. Now the VF-25 looks "normal" to me. -
I'll be watching this thread hoping you videophiles will compare and review to see if there is any real improvement. I'd hate double dipping, but if it gets me a better quality image I'm in. I'm glad it's not a special version with tons of goodies that would have jacked up the price.
-
A shop owner lie to make a few extra bucks? No way! I've always known them to be an honest and trustworthy bunch. He probably did read it on here.

The 1/35 scale Valk is the DEVIL!
-
Another thing I want to mention to those reboxing. The bridge will fit fine going back in the foam. I forgot that it was an assembled piece. But there's no need to disassemble it to put it back. There's clearance. I did mange to accidentally bend the very top antenna on the bridge slightly, but it wasn't enough to snap it. I was able to carefully move it back to its original position, but it was a close call. Again, it wasn't a clearance issue. It was just me being a bonehead and not watching how I handle it.

Why does the name Pepe Le Vajra come to mind.
-
While I like the idea that Bandai will do a 1/1800 scale SDF-1, I am personally quite satisfied with my Yamato 1/3000 version. It just barely fits in my display cabinet as it is. I'm assuming something that much larger in scale probably will have cool gimicks as well, and will be much higher in price. Would I love to own one? Sure! But, the reality for me is that I'm probably not going to spend that kind of money on just 1 item. I'd personally use the money to fill other items missing in my collection. Again, only because I already have the Yamato version.

For Pete'a sake we just this year got the VF-1J. I think it's a little premature to think they don't have the VF-1 license anymore. I'd give it more time. But, I'm fine if anyone keeps speculating that they did. Doesn't bother me in the least, nor does it affect any reality for Arcadia. I concur with those that don't see any harm in it. I'll be patient and wait for them to re-release the VT-1. That baby will be mine and then we can have peace.
