So, has there been any sort of word yet as to whether the 1/60 Bandai VF-25's will include Super/Armored packs or will they just be plain and the super/armored packs sold separately? Also, I wonder how they will do the specialized supper parts for the Michael/Luca VF-25's..

Thanks!

Thanks for the translation Renato.

Interesting news. I wonder if the 1/100 line will just cover Frontier VFs or VFs from all series? Hopefully, we will get a 1/100 VF-171.

Parts swapping, not so good news, but not surprising as the line was initially announced as bing "simple transformation".

Well that would be cool since we do have a yamato 1/100 scale VB-6 Monster to put it against. So anything on Vajra mecha coming out?

I don't know if this has been mentioned but with the way licensing works in japan being based on scales, it is AFAIK possible that Yamato could do a 1/60 scale version of the vf-25?! Assuming that the bandai versions go gang buster.

I have a feeling they're working out all the kinks of 1/60 Super/Armor Packs.

When you consider how long it's been since we've seen new photos the next set should be AMAZING.

We're in store for something great folks.

I still constantly shift between do I want Alto's or Ozma's in 1/60... (I lean towards Ozma, but Alto's keeps growing on me---probably because we see it so much more)

My plan for a while has been to get one 1/72, and one 1/60. I have Alto's 1/72 on order, thus a 1/60 Ozma. But I may switch that around---I basically have until the first 1/72 kit ships to decide for sure. (and if there is no *full* armor for 1/60, I probably won't buy any)

I bet you end up getting both ozuma and alto in the long run.

It's like people saying "I will only get one 1/48". :D

If you could only get one I would go for Ozuma. The licking lips scene where he is hungry to eat lobster and stabs it, is a classic moment. In macross frontier it is mentioned they don't waste any resources. He was probably hoping that once the bug was dead, that he could eat it sort of like the giant tuna in SDF:M when hikaru was stuck underneath the floor of the SDF-1. yummmm tuna.

Most people here don't understand professionalism. I don't rock up to work and deal drugs in a shorts and gym shirt, neither do I rock up to a Judo seminar in a Kung Fu uniform. Toy making is a profession, and it is an employee's job to look professional.

You deal drugs for a living!!?? Just kidding :D

I think full armor is inevitable, and since tooling for the 1/60s is expensive, I have a feeling the first 2 releases are not the only ones. So I would wait to see if full armor is coming with Ozma, or seperately.

My plan is to at least get a Super Alto and armored Ozma. If bandai announces seperate armor sets, then I will probably preorder both valks and order the armor when it becomes available.

That is why I've not preordered anything. I am waiting until it is out to see how it will work.

Does Bandai usually sell accessory bundles with their high end stuff?

Or is that more of a Yamato thing?

I can't honestly think of a single instance where they have, at least with their various gokin lines. They usually release the different versions with different accessories at the same time, though.

I am *this* close to imposing a rule about banning people who post images of the 1/60 and 1/72 who can't tell them apart. Literally half the posts in each thread are wrong now, and we get repeats within the thread each day---seriously, someone posts a pic of the 1/72 in the 1/60 thread at 7AM, then everyone says "that's the 1/72"--then 2 hours later that pic gets posted again, people say that's not it---then I log in that afternoon just to find it happened again.

IF YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT IT IS, DON'T POST IT. New pics are going to be found and posted by people who know what it is. If you don't know what it is, then you are not the first person to find/post that pic--so we don't need to see it again.

I can't imagine how cluttered the 1/60 thread will be when the 1/72 is actually released and there's a zillion pics of it finished. Hell, maybe I'll just temporarily close the toy thread that week.

Please do so. I'm starting to really hate that model kit :lol:

Would it be worth closing all of the existing Frontier threads and trying again with fresh ones? They really are a mess and counterintuitive to discussion. Or maybe go through and delete all of the posts that are in regards to the wrong toy/model.

I think the new thread should include all the facts listed about the toys and have all the released pictures in the first post. People with new pictures would need to send them to a mod so they can add to the first post as an update. That way all the pictures are on one page instead of scattered all over the place. This thread is already 109 pages so I think a 2.0 is needed.

Over in the model thread, azrael just instituted a "posts talking about the wrong thing will be immediately deleted, as will responses to those posts" policy.

I do like eriku's suggestion of closing the existing threads and starting over again. Would have to clear that with other mods (and Graham) though. (well, I don't HAVE to, it's just that I don't want to mess with multiple important threads like that without a bit of fellow mod-consent)
