Check out the Transformer Alternators. These are sort of like the G1 toys -- they change into licensed vehicles, like the Dodge Viper or the Subaru Impreza. They have stuff like opening doors and hoods and detailed interiors, along with a fair degree of articulation in robot mode. I also think the VF-1 is a masterpiece, in terms of design. It's extremely elegant.

No. I already spent loads on the Macross box sets. No more Valkyries, for now.

All of the above except for staging mock battles. (I only have one Macross toy, a 1/48 VF-1 Valkyrie, so mock battles typically aren't an option -- although I do sometimes pose it in a showdown shooting type pose with another toy, like a Transformer.) I do occasionally swoop my VF up and down in fighter mode. I also like posing it and transforming it.

Probably not, but you gotta admit an Alternators Jetfire based of the 1/48 Hikaru Super VF-1J has a certain appeal to it. Except that Alternators are all 1/24, which means it would have to be twice as big...

What exactly is Overtechnology? What does it do? Did it get dubbed as 'Robotechnology' in the translation to Robotech?

If they made 1/48 M+ VFs, I would get one. Probably the YF-19 or the VF-11. (From the present 1/72 scale, however, I would get the YF-21 FP, if I were buying one.)

You're right -- I didn't see the newbie thread, sorry about that. Somebody close this thread, or delete it, please. I'll check the newbie thread.

SPOILER WARNING I haven't seen the original mini-series version of Macross Plus yet. I wanted to know -- does Guld die in that one? He suffers a rather gristly death in the movie version. I'll be getting the mini-series anyway, just wanted to know. Thanks.

A VA-3 Invader!

The first valk I ever owned in my entire life was the Yamato 1/48 Max VF-1A

I wouldn't mind seeing a full-black repaint of the VF-1A or VF-1J. I think that would be sweet.

I started buying toys again (after I stopped being a kid) a year ago. The first Macross toy I ever experienced is the 1/48 Max. I think it rocks. Incidentally, do you have to remove the legs on any of the Yamato non-VF-1 1/60 toys (like, say, the VF-11 or the YF-21) to transform them?

There's something weird about my Max A-Type -- in Battroid mode, the side torso panels don't stay in position. They keep coming loose. This doesn't bother me, though: most of the time I just leave them flat. On such a superlative toy, a tiny issue like that isn't that big a deal. I still like my 1/48 Valk very very much.

1/48 = 1

I'd like an SDF-1 in the 1/48 Scale.
