BoBe-Patt Posted February 1, 2005 Share Posted February 1, 2005 Damn that's beautiful. If I had that GI Joe Flagg ship, I'd sticker it up with macross symbols. and un spacy's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Godzilla Posted February 1, 2005 Share Posted February 1, 2005 i'm lovin it, wicked cool man. i wish i had the flagg...whats one of those running these days? Depends. Complete, $250-$300. incomplete over $200 depending on incomplete. MISB-$1000 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Knight26 Posted February 1, 2005 Share Posted February 1, 2005 YOu know looking at it, aside from the figure sized portions, the ship almost looks about 1:48 scale. Heck with some tweaking of a beat to Shreg on I bet one of the customizers on here could make it into a decent 1:48 scale carrier with multiple cats and arrestor lines. Anybody up for that one?

MISB-$1000 eh, a bit to rich for my blood. maybe if they remake it one day, i'll pick it up for $100. its still pretty good definitely a cool way to display your valks.

Sephiroth Posted February 1, 2005 Share Posted February 1, 2005 i'm lovin it, wicked cool man. i wish i had the flagg...whats one of those running these days? Depends. Complete, $250-$300. incomplete over $200 depending on incomplete. MISB-$1000 I paid about $450 for the first USS Flagg I bought (the one in the pics) about a year ago. It came 100% complete (pretty rare when you count all the small pieces & often lost pieces like the deck clips, fan tail guard rail, speaker/horn system, etc.). The second USS Flagg I bought was about $350 and is only missing two deck clips. It has about 85% of the stickers still on the sheet and looks like it was built and displayed for about a day and then put back into the box. That Flagg is in storage at my parents house because I only have room to display one right now. I use the USS Flagg as a backdrop primarily for my GI Joe collection, which is much more extensive than my Macross collection, but I always have fun landing a new Valkyrie on the deck for the first time and then launching it again. Much more fun than the two Skystrikers I usually have parked on it. It has plenty of room even for the 1/48's and 1/55's, but just imagine how many Yamato 1/60's would fit on the deck...

USS Flaggs (in excellent condition) are bit pricey, but they are definietly worth it. Especially compared to how much one 1/48 Low Vis or any of the vintage valks cost. It's 7 1/2 feet long and 3 1/2 feet tall with hundreds of parts and cost about $100 when it was first released in '85. I doubt Hasbro or any other company will ever release a toy of this size and intricacy again for that price, or if at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lynx7725 Posted February 2, 2005 Share Posted February 2, 2005 If they put in glow/ combustion engines into this 1/10 Yamato BB, airsoft for the guns and RC for controls, and give me a decent-sized lake to drive (and shoot) this thing in, I'll be there in a heartbeat too! Of course, the US should respond with a 1/10 Iowa BB too, to have balance of power.... At any rate, this isn't quite what this thread is about. Is the USS Flagg really a good scale display for Yamato 1/60s? I'm been meaning to have some sort of ship deck display for my three valks, but space constraints sort of nuked that idea. 'Epecially liked the idea of scratch-building a catapult, if I could only find the necessary information... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skull Leader Posted February 2, 2005 Share Posted February 2, 2005 I have most of the deck plates for the USS Flagg packed away at home. I pulled them out when I first started collecting 1/60s and it seemed that those or 1/72s would be the best fit (of course, this was ages before I got a digital camera). I really suppose it depends on what type of carrier you want to emulate. It would look just about right for 1/48s or 1/55s if you were trying to emulate one of the older Forrestal-class carriers, while it's good for 1/60 and 1/72 for a Kitty Hawk or Nimitz class carrier. That's a rough estimate though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Knight26 Posted February 2, 2005 Share Posted February 2, 2005 IF you want to know how big a 1:72 scale Nimitz Class Aircraft Carrier model would be, check this out.
