Agreed, Yamato decals truly suck. I'm pretty much back what everyone else says about Takatoys decals, I've got them on all my 1/48s and they look great. I've also bought excellent decals from Anasazi37 for my 1/60 scale valks - they definitely make my M&M and 1D look better.

Since I don't own any "vintage" valks, It would be my whole macross toy collection - great variety and as a kid I always dreamed of owning at least one transformable valk Now I've got all the Bandai/Yamato/Banpresto releases. I also admit to owning 3 MPCs

The majority of my valks came from VE, HLJ (not anymore, though...EMS/SAL sucks ), but I have bought a few from BBTS -really great selection of other toys, eBay -primarily to pick up the MPCs on the cheap.

I love the GBP-1S armor cuz it makes any schweet valk into one bad@ss fightin' machine

I voted for my avatar. It's a thing of beauty.

Gotta vote for the Big Bad@ss Monster

Nice work Mathieu. Can anyone get rid of the japanese text to make it look cleaner?

Is there a quicktime version of it? WMF is a piece of crap in my machine.

Here's a link for Windows Media Player, SWkid

I'd like to see a 1J CF released. The 1A head is getting a little played out IMHO.

LMAO! Looking at it again it's definitely a male destroid..... anyone notice it's "little Pee Pee"!

Those crazy japanese are at it again!

I'm assuming it's an anti-personnel gun so that the crew/gunner would'nt have to use the main guns on little "crunchies" (dismounted enemy troops that should be taken out by running over them/stepping on them in this case)

Wow, the Robotech "books" sure look good on the shelf.

Here only for a second on the beach

Thanks Yohsho, I'll have to pop in the DVD to check it out.

...the new Destroid design from Macross Zero, that briefly appeared in ep# 2 and should make a bigger appearance in ep# 3.

It showed up in Mac 0?!? Which scene?

double edit: I kinda wish Yamato would produce some ground based mecha, I'm kinda getting tired of just buying valks (not that it's a bad thing - just need some variety)

Schweet.... Another valk to be added to the collection.

Thanks for the pics, Graham (insert asian emoticon here)

Geez... My first Yammie was the VF-11B. It survived several transformations from battroid to fighter till the hip joint went out Then I got my first VF-1 and I've been hooked on valks ever since. That 1st purchase also opened my eyes to everything Macross (that Robotech was a front to the real story and the alternate story lines- Mac II, Mac 7, etc)

I still say it's t3h 1337

okay................................

What the hell does that mean!?

I concur!

What the hell does that mean???

I'm with Stupid, WTH does that mean?

Yes, reissue the rare 1/55's, and the M&Ms, hopefully with super armour!

Bandai did release the M&Ms, just not with super armor.

Man you guys sure do analyze anime in detail. I just look at the stuff and marvel at the way Max and his bad@ss self dispatches Zentraedi like he's takin' out the trash.

Here's to wishfull thinking that Bandai will reissue the Strike, Elint, Ostrich and GBP-1S armor

Maybe they'll re-release for the anniversary.

Great review areaseven. Mac 0 is definitely some eye candy.

Great info Graham. Grazie...

I'd recommend getting it. If you're a completist collector or a casual collector, it's definitely one to get. The original issue had the bad shoulder sliders and didnt look to good in fighter mode. The FP version looks a little sleeker in fighter mode, plus it has the FPs AND 2 guns Now dats bad@ss!!!

All of my 1/48s must have strike/super armor!! Call me crazy.

You're not CrAzY! I'll be getting FPs for the 4 I currently have now. I'll hold off in getting additional FPs til the other 1/48s are released

1/72 = 6

1/60 = 10

1/48 = 4
