Lonely Soldier Boy Posted August 31, 2007 Share Posted August 31, 2007 Agreed. Yamato will do what they think it will make money. That's what they do. If some day down the road they realize that a 1/48 two seater is a good bussines idea, they won't stop just because they said they'd never do it. Same goes with other Valks they said they're not interested in. Right now thy're focused on Mac+ and Zero, but as mexicans say: "There's more time than life".

nightmareB4macross Posted August 31, 2007 Share Posted August 31, 2007 Hmmm...nobody has guessed it right? Even Prophet Eugimon? I'm guessing....Yamato is going into the miniature business and they're going to build a small version of the Sub used by the Anti-UN Spacey Or rather...could it be the Elintseeker finally in 1/48 to revive interest back to 1/48? Elintseeker "penetrating" enemy airspace? Well if Yamato isn't doing it, we might as well do it ourselves. VF-1D is almost here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lonely Soldier Boy Posted September 4, 2007 Share Posted September 4, 2007 I've been hoping for that since the 1/48 valks came out. Me too. I'm one of the weirdos that prefer the VF-2ss over the VF-4 and even the Nightmare Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
warpaint22 Posted September 4, 2007 Share Posted September 4, 2007 Me too. I'm one of the weirdos that prefer the VF-2ss over the VF-4 and even the Nightmare I'll secound that, love the VF-2ss. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mog Posted September 4, 2007 Share Posted September 4, 2007 Add me to that list of VF-2ss fans too. Especially after seeing this: Link. Granted, its fighter mode isn't as sleek as the VF-4's. But battroid and gerwalk modes look solid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mister_e Posted September 4, 2007 Share Posted September 4, 2007 I don't think I can afford for Yamato to redo the VF-1 line again in 1/60 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sumdumgai Posted September 4, 2007 Share Posted September 4, 2007 (edited) Well, I'll look on the bright side of if they re-do the 1/60 VF-1 line. It'll be cheaper than the current releases. Much smaller, less materials, and probably much less time spent in doing it since it would be their third time on the VF-1 line (fourth if you count the VF-0 and them learning what they shouldn't do). addition: Don't forget a Low Vis v1, Macross73!

Macross73 Posted September 4, 2007 Share Posted September 4, 2007 i think if they just do just key valks and not bother with every single one it would be great. vf1s Roy , vf1j Ichijo , vf1j Max , vf 1j milia , vf1a Ichijo , vf1a kakizaki , vf1a CF, vf1d , With strike armor and fast packs and the vt-1 , ve-1.

That doesn't mean I'm against revised versions I like them as well, but a really well thought out and executed revision would be very welcomed in my collection. Doesn't matter which variant, as long, as it's better than the 1.0 version. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sumdumgai Posted September 4, 2007 Share Posted September 4, 2007 Imagine the VF-1 at 1/60 scale with a compromise between the needle-nose 1/60 version 1 and the 1/48 nosecone, with all these improvements. -No removable nosecone. -No moveable flaps to break or have fall off. -Plastic lower legs (no longer bottom heavy). -Standard swingbar with the nose-hinge improvement of the 1/60 VF-0 (no more annoying pegs to fish out when you want it out of battroid). -Joint system from the 1/48 VF-1, so it's prettier than the old 1/60 version 1 and can do an A-stance in gerwalk, also has the moveable kneecap. -Designed to have the shoulders and arms sit higher up in fighter mode, like the lineart (like how they were able to do with the VF-0). -Integrated heatshield so no more fear of losing the canopy or heatshield. -Flip out hands, for a cleaner looking forearm. -Legs, arms, and backpack lock together, so now you can make it do barrel-rolls without the backpack flipping in fighter! -Updated gunpod with collapsible handle. -Improved landing gear. -Updated feet and ankles. -Lower price than the 1/48 VF-1 -Comes packed with Fast Packs or Strike Packs and missiles. I'd certainly buy a few. ... ... Once Yamato has done a fair share of non-VF-1s. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nightmareB4macross Posted September 5, 2007 Share Posted September 5, 2007 I think in order to do a perfect variable 1/60 VF, Yamato would have to go with a stronger material and scale down the 1/48. Of course some areas would not be plastic at all but die-cast. Parts to really improve on when scaling down would be: - Redesigned BP-8 - Better hands. Could be blockier than the original chicken style hands. - IMHO, remove the swing bar all together. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sumdumgai Posted September 5, 2007 Share Posted September 5, 2007 There you go, thank you! Redesigned BP-8, how could I have forgotten that one! I personally prefer the swing bar to the detacheable legs that never seemed to want to stay locked in place in gerwalk or fighter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vermillion01 Posted September 6, 2007 Share Posted September 6, 2007 Sooo.... let get this right (yes i have read waaaaaaaay too much) we're not getting...(yet anyway) VF-0D VF-0 reactive armor TV Version SDF-1 1/60 Monster No 1/48 (that is firmly established.. we think) valk. VF-5000 VF-11B VF-22 ... and we already know about the "nora"1/60 and the YF-21 1/60 did i miss any other serious candidates? methinks the big 'G' is having some fun...... personally, i want VF-0D, VF-11B and the monster (the1/100 kinda sux a bit) all in 1/60..ooh and some reactive armor...

nightmareB4macross Posted September 6, 2007 Share Posted September 6, 2007 (edited) Wait a minute...I think I got it. Could it be Max's TV VF-1A. Saturation Penetration, could mean the episode where Max is trapped in an elevator after being shot a large number of times while trying to rescue Hikaru and Misa. Saturation of hailing ammo... Penetration damage from said Ammo. Then KABOOM all over the elevator and killing two Zent soldiers in the process. _________________________ Or it could just be TV VF-1A Kakizake...since he get's it in the butt, both in the TV and DYRL versions of Macross.

Lonely Soldier Boy Posted September 6, 2007 Share Posted September 6, 2007 I hope it's not that. Another VF-1 repaint doesn't justify this thread IMO. Unless it comes with a Zentraedi officer coat and cap and little figures to fit in the pocket Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vermillion01 Posted September 6, 2007 Share Posted September 6, 2007 Maybe a proper Zentraedi battle pod? now theres a thought.. i know Yamato don't usually touch enemy mech or units as they are generally poor sellers, but its a thought..... kinda fits the clues too.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sumdumgai Posted September 7, 2007 Share Posted September 7, 2007 Maybe a zentraedi battleship? Didn't they hide out in the ocean for a bit? = saturation. Or you could count them saturating the earth from space to wipe clean the face of the planet. As for penetration... Whamo from the Macross, numerous times on numerous ships. Truth to be told, I wouldn't be excited about a giant space pickle. So, I hope this is just another missing shot in the dark. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mog Posted September 8, 2007 Share Posted September 8, 2007 They might. But at this time, it has been stated by Graham, that NO this is not in the works. Technically, Graham only stated that our batch of guesses (which included a TV version of the SDF-1) were wrong. I know I'm splitting hairs here, but there's still an outside chance that Yamato will make a DYRL version of the SDF-1. I'm probably wrong (of course ), but it's still a "possibility" (a billion-to-one possibility, mind you. But a possibility nonetheless). I'm still curious if my last guess (back on page 19) has some merit to it ..........Graham, can you confirm or deny if your last hint sig' was for a Macross-related product?

Guest sh002 Posted September 8, 2007 Share Posted September 8, 2007 I hope it's not that. Another VF-1 repaint doesn't justify this thread IMO. Unless it comes with a Zentraedi officer coat and cap and little figures to fit in the pocket oh that would be sweet. a 1/60 tv max vf-1a with 1/60 zentraedi soldier and extra coat, cap, and little figures. or maybe a 1/60 monster released in limited numbers or a diorama of minmei performing on part of the sdf-1 in battle in space.

gian7675 Posted September 8, 2007 Share Posted September 8, 2007 Has somebody guessed Destroids? I think Yamato is going to do the Destroid line now. Saturation penetration. After penetrating the enemy ship with the Daedalus Attack, the Destroids launch missiles inside the Zentraedi Battleship to destroy it Either original Destroids or the Cheyene Destroid of Macross Zero.

NeoverseOmega Posted September 9, 2007 Share Posted September 9, 2007 Just to be out in left field, I wonder if Yamato is planning on penetrating this saturation of Mospeada mecha that appears to be coming from various sources? Of course if it were certainly Macross related and based on the vehicles combat role I would guess VF-17 nightmare. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lonewolf Posted September 9, 2007 Share Posted September 9, 2007 (edited) That's my opinion, but the VF-11B would be so much nicer than the VF-17. EDIT: Spelling. Edited September 9, 2007 by Lonewolf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sumdumgai Posted September 9, 2007 Share Posted September 9, 2007 VF-11B before VF-17. Definitely needed before the VF-17. I of course want the VF-17, but I NEED a VF-11B remake first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Excillon Posted September 10, 2007 Share Posted September 10, 2007 maybe it's something more simple, such as an accessory like a 1/48 launch arm or something along those lines.
