JB0 Posted September 21, 2003 Share Posted September 21, 2003 Only after everything else in the Mcross universe is made. It's not like there's a shortage of Tomcat toys from other manufacturers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lightning Posted September 21, 2003 Share Posted September 21, 2003 u mean have the OAV "correct" Tomcat? (with a F-14A cockpit and nose with a F-14D rear) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skull Leader Posted September 21, 2003 Share Posted September 21, 2003 The designation that Kawamori assigned to the MacZero F-14s is "F-14A+ Kai". According to the compendium, these models incorperate overtechnology (although, it does not say how) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weaseldancer Posted September 21, 2003 Share Posted September 21, 2003 I'm not that interested in a Macross f-14. There are already plenty of F-14 models out there. I would prefer for Yamato to stick to transformable mecha and enemy mecha. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoSuchFile Posted September 21, 2003 Share Posted September 21, 2003 It could be nice for them to make one to fill an eventual blank in their release schedule B) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smut Peddler Posted September 21, 2003 Share Posted September 21, 2003 I'd like one, but there are a bunch of other valk's I wanna see them make before they put that out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Murphy Posted September 21, 2003 Share Posted September 21, 2003 I voted yes cus i like the f-14, and having a tomcat with the macross name on it would make it cooler (i could just buy the hase. model but im too impatient(sp?) to make one) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dat Pinche Haro! Posted September 21, 2003 Share Posted September 21, 2003 (edited) wouldn't make much sense to make one....i think yamato just wants to make transformable kits, for now...if they were to make Mac0 F-14 they'd probably make a limited release....i doubt it'd be that important to them to make an F-14 figure hey....just because they won't be made doesn't mean i wouldn't buy one Edited September 21, 2003 by Dat Pinche Haro!

ewilen Posted September 21, 2003 Share Posted September 21, 2003 Null vote because it depends on the price. But actually, no, I wouldn't want a 1/48 TomCat. A 1/60 maybe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lebhead Posted September 21, 2003 Share Posted September 21, 2003 i've decided to cut down on my Macross budget recently, so i vote no. although if i won the lottery or something, i'd definitely pick one up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Hingtgen Posted September 21, 2003 Share Posted September 21, 2003 No, because 1/48 would be huge (you think you have problems displaying a VF-1? Try a plane 50% bigger) and there'd be VERY limited appeal. Valks appeal to even the most "casual" Macross fans, while far fewer people have seen M0 (be honest, even Robotechies buy Yamato VF-1's) and would want a non-transforming valk. It's not a bad guy for the VF's to fight, and it doesn't "do" anything like transform or fire off 36-missile clusters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vf1_soulja Posted September 22, 2003 Share Posted September 22, 2003 If it don't transform... Heck, NO!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sebastian Posted September 22, 2003 Share Posted September 22, 2003 NO WAY!!! If Yamato start working in a COMMON fighter... then my Bad guys mechas and the VF 0 line will be delayed. There is SO MUCH macross mecha lef to do... why bother buying F-14? Nah! Do you guys really prefer an F 14 over an SDF 1, or the VF 0s or the Raus, Battle Pods, VF 5000, VF 4, 2SS, Siren, Destroids.... There are SOOOOOOOOOO many! and all of them are DEFINETELLY COOLER than an F 14! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graham Posted September 22, 2003 Share Posted September 22, 2003 Not interested. As others have said, there are plenty of F14 models/toys already available from other manufactures. Plus a 1/48 F14 would take up too much valuable shelf space. My money and shelf space is reserved for transforming Macross toys.

xssu Posted September 22, 2003 Share Posted September 22, 2003 i like 1/72 scale. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hellohikaru Posted September 22, 2003 Share Posted September 22, 2003 A Tomcat deserves to be made at 1/48 scale...the detail will make it worth it. I don't care much for tranformation as i seldom play with my toys anyway. But then again i prefer Hasegawa to release MacZero planes in 1/48 like the Karyobin and MiG-29. Robotechhies buy Yamatos ?!So they made their own custom Rick Hunter, Ben Dickson and Max Sterling stickers ehhh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wingcommander Posted September 22, 2003 Share Posted September 22, 2003 There are so many other things that we all would like to see made. I can already get a f-14. Maybe not exactly like the Macross 0 one. Just my two cents. ALEX Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mechaninac Posted September 22, 2003 Share Posted September 22, 2003 Franklin Mint already makes a museum quality 1/48 F-14 tomcat (about 5 different paint schemes, including the Hi Vis Jolly Rogers form the USS Nimitz) as well as host of other US, Russian, and maybe French fighters. They retail around $90+ USD plus S&H (Click Here to see a picture); that's around 1/48 valkarie range. However, I think they have fixed landing gears, and if Yamato were to make a M0 F-14 and Mig 29 they would make them with retractable landing gears, hopefully. So, I voted a tentative yes on the F-14, price and features would be the deciding factor on actual purchase. B) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VF-18S Hornet Posted September 22, 2003 Share Posted September 22, 2003 Yeah I would love to buy a 1/48 F-14D just to put it side by side with my other 1/48 collection to see how they measure up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B) Yeah, there is a Franlin Mint store in King Of Prussia Mall in King OF Prussia, Pa hat has them for sale at $90. And I did see the VF-84 Jolly Rodgers F-14A there. It's really heavy when I picked it up, and it does not have retractable landing gears. So I hope Yamato plans on making a lightweight Macross 0 1/48 F-14D.

Pat Payne Posted September 23, 2003 Share Posted September 23, 2003 Yeah, why not? It's not like they'd be competing with Hasegawa, Revell, Tamiya, Italeri, Airfix, and others. And since the F-14's design is technically in the public domain, there's no problem with having to get a license to make the kit. (of course, woe betide the person who tries to build a real F-14 without the OK of Northrup-Grumman: They'd sue [that IS like making a bootleg, as opposed to a model kit] and the US Navy'd probably blast the builder's derriere from here to Mars ) I'd love to see a VF-1 toy in the same scale as the 1/48 valks in UN Navy markings. And, since it'd be non-transformable, it'd be a fair sight cheaper, I'd guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alftien Posted September 23, 2003 Share Posted September 23, 2003 I'd rather yamato stuck to giving us what we all want a 1/60 or 1/48 GBP first then.... and ONLY THEN should they make an F-14. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
muswp1 Posted September 23, 2003 Share Posted September 23, 2003 No, because 1/48 would be huge (you think you have problems displaying a VF-1? Try a plane 50% bigger) and there'd be VERY limited appeal. I have a 1/48 F-14D kit that I built a few years ago (one of the two that Monogram/Revell put out) and it is definately not much bigger than a 1/48 VF-1. If I get around to it (or find my digital camera), I could post a comparison pic. Not to mention that almost every model company makes a F-14 in at least one scale Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
