Wow. I'm really glad the MP Prime toy doesn't look like that pile of garbage.

I agree! Good to know I am not the only one thinking like that.

must... get... for... artistic... research!

right YLM?

Of course! It's all about learning the female form, nothing perverted.

Wonder how many I'd be able to get back through customs...

More like worshipping the female form.

I hate registering on those sites. It is like blackmail. Like I need more spam in my box.

One thing to consider, when wondering what Yamato will release next is whether or not multiple version are possible. The design and tooling costs of a transforming toy are sky high and if only a single version can be released, Yamato would make a loss. It's not just about breaking even, any manufacturer has to make a profit and in the case of transforming VF toys this is only possible if a) the production run is very large (Yamato's are not), or b) if multiple repaints can be released, e.g. VF-1A/J/S Hikaru/Max/Focker etc.

As much as I would like to see a VF-4 or VF-5000 toy, the chances are probably slim as the repaint/multiple version potential is far lower.

Well cant they make a couple of other color schemes for the VF-4? Also, you have factor in the account of people buy multiples VF-4s. I mean I am guilty in that category. I selectively buy multiples of what I like such as low vis VF-1A and I would buy mutiple Max VF-1J VF-1A CFs. I know that there VF-4A, VF-4C, and VF-4G with some Max and Milla paint scheme... Anyways, it just a wish...

Well the VF-1 will always be my top choice. The VF-4 is next and the VF-9 is third. The VF-17 would be in fourth and the VF-14 be in 5th.

Yes, I am more of a newbie. Let's just say I am a convert from the Robotech once I saw the Macross series from Animego. Yes I knew Macross existed because I watched the DRYL movie in Hong Kong. Though, being a "banana" Chinese american born, and did not understand Cantonese real well, I read the subtitles. Then saw the English abominat--- errr version of it as Clash of the Binoids. I have seen Macross Plus and I bought the VHS tapes in English (I am sorry I did) but it was for my brother. The DVDs I have are the Robotech series and now the Macross series. Yes I bought the Mospeda series as well. I won't buy Southern Cross because I think it is just too messed up. Never did like the "Robotech Masters" Series anyways. Now my question is what next? Sure I will get macross plus but that is later. I want to know which is good to get and which is good to skip. I keep hearing how Macross 7 really blows and such... Opinions are fine... I already heard about Macross II opinions on it.

Yamato is supposed to release a VF-4. When, who knows. 1/72(?) and hopefully a 1/48. Hope they at least do the smaller scale version before they dip into the Macross Zero Valks.

OMG... *Gets on hands and knees to pray* Oh pleeeaaaaaze yamato make a 1/48 one. If I see a preorder for it on VE, I am gonna send it in!

I still love the VF-1 which is why I am waiting for the Max and Milla ones with FPs. VF-1D, VF-1T, VF-1A (and 1Js if they make it) CFs and VF-1A Max would be so cool as well. But seeing the VF-4, man it just looks too cool to have it be a 1/48 sitting side by side with the vf-1

Too bad I can't just get the Tomahawk and GBP....

You and me both friend... unless someone is willing to part with them, I want in on it!

It looks like someone is gonna get their @$$ whupped by that thing. Now if there were say 1000 of those in Space War 1, Un Spacy would have a much easier time to deal with!

This has prolly come up several times but after looking at the VF-4 valk for the first time (and several others), I was mesmorized... and I am simply in love with it. Sure nothing beats a VF-1 but the VF-4 looks damn cool. Unless I missed something, I am really wanting to get a VF-4 toy. VF-11 looks ok. A VF-17 looks cool too. Any toys of them? I dont really care for the VF-19s or VF-22 hence why I skipped the 1/72 scales of them.

I love the green eyes. Redhead with green eyes are my weakness... then again blues eyes are as well. Then again a blonde/red/raven hair, blue/green eyes, 36-26-36 measurements would pretty much have me!

Looks good. Nice job there.

TMI, my friend. I didnt want to know that much.    Yes, I feel the pain of the neutered stacks as well.

I'm so sorry. But look at that piece of "TMI" on the bright side, it's positive advertising!

Thank you for the apology. It gave me a bad image ya know? Now I have to goto therapy... wasting money on therapy when I should be buying 1/48 yammies. J/K.

This is very bad. The toy isn't even out yet, and I'm getting a boner just by looking at the transforming pictures. I'm also wincing in pain at the same time, everytime I catch sight of the neutered stacks.

TMI, my friend. I didnt want to know that much. Yes, I feel the pain of the neutered stacks as well.

I have all of the season 1 and 2 of them and I like them. I decided not to get season 3 nor the movie. They killed off my fav characters.

I have some in MISB but I have one where I do everything to it from flying, to posing, to mock battles. Hence why I buy mutiples but they sure do get expensive.

Ok, I have to admit it was kinda stupid on the scale issues but I liked it. I am getting the reissues right now. I have the DVDs to the transformers but I will skip out on the Season 3. Everything including the movie and after, I thought sucked. They killed off the old transformers like Prowl Ironhide, OP and reincarnated Megatron, skywarp, insecticons, etc as the Galvatron and his guards. Bring in new people like R-CEE, Springer, Hotrod, Blurr. I was like WTF? I guess Hasbro wanted to bring in the new toyline but they needed a convienent way to get rid the majority of the "older models". But they didnt do that to GIJOE. Almost killed off Duke but didnt. Like Transformers, GIJOE's movie wasn't great except for the intro. Anything after sucked as well.

Very nice pic indeed. Would be nice if they could fly em. They can use the gunpod. The leader needs to have the VF-1J and -1D though. I like the US NAVY logo on it.

BAH! I skipped out on this. I cannot afford to pay to play! How would I afford a 1/48 yammie?

Well supposedly, since the TDs and Missile Boats were advanced designs but came too late into the Rebellion.  Gotta remember that the Admiral that went rogue in TF took the advance facilities that made those advance fighters.  Once the Empire took back control, the production did not go into full swing due to damage to those facilities. Had that not happen, there would have been  T/As, M/B, and T/Ds at Endor.

But you gotta remember, TIE pilots were given low survivabilty. You had huge numbers to overwhelm your opponent whereas the Alliance/Rebellion were training their pilots to fight those odds. Even if the Empire had the T/As, most of those pilot were cannon fodder regardless. Sure technology would have given them more advantage but their pilot training was a lot to be desired...

Also, T/Fs, T/Bs, and T/Is were cheaper fast to manufacture.

How about the assault gunboats? That was always a question of mine... in TIE Fighter, whenever you ran into trouble and called for assistence, a flight of gunboats would hyper in a moment later with a blaze of lasers, ions, and missiles. In X-Wing Alliance, assault gunboats were all over the place...

So where were they at Endor?

Speaking of overwhelming odds, anybody remember how the TIE Fighter expansion packs made YOU, an Imperial pilot, fight against overwhelming odds? I still remember the beginning of Defender of the Empire (I think.. either that or the other expansion...) where your entire flight of two TIE Defenders hyper in to save the factories... I always had mixed feelings in missions involving either the TIE Defender or the missile boat.. it meant that either you were gonna go cap ship happy, or you were gonna be the only flight of Imperial fighters in the area....

mmm..... also when you first discover of Admiral Zaarin's nature... "Gamma 2 and Gamma 3, destroy Gamma 1!" 1 lone TIE Interceptor against... a minefield, a star destroyer and its contingent of TIEs....

okay, yeah, this is bringing back good memories... pity X-Wing Trilogy won't run properly under windows 2000 Gonna have to dig out the old Riva 128, Soundblaster Pro, and put together a classic gaming computer...

Good question on the Assualt Gunboats. I dunno. They were hyperspace capable though. Maybe they took a wrong turn at Corellia?

As for the "Gamma 2 and Gamma 3, destroy Gamma 1!" I just simply blew them up before I went into the mine field. Didnt cost me anything there. Based on those tones from Gamma 2 and 3, it just pissed me off. I also figured it was a trap.

"Toynami will cut a deal with hasbro and takara and make it so the MPC is the new JF "

oH god..hell no!

Amen to that brother!

I wonder if the Yamato vending machine actually chases you around like the Petite Cola machines in Macross? Now that would be cool

Graham

No, that would be ANNOYING!

I dunno... it doesnt look that bad. Then again, I am not buying the Hikaru VF-1S anyways.

I dunno... It doesnt look that bad. But I am not buying it anyways.
