Cent Posted February 19, 2009 Share Posted February 19, 2009 VF-22S!!! VF-11B repaint! and... in 2 years time, yamato will get the FRONTIER license. you may not believe me now, but i will be saying I TOLD YOU SO 2 years from now... I'd place my bets against you, but I sincerely hope you win XD I want Yamato to produce their own 1/60 Frontier lineup as well. Wishful thinking.

ff95gj Posted February 19, 2009 Share Posted February 19, 2009 I don't think the license will be slipped away from Bandai in at least 5 years. Given that even Macross 7 has an OVA series 2 years after the TV show, I can't see why they won't want to make one too for Macross Frontier.

badboy00z Posted February 19, 2009 Share Posted February 19, 2009 Bandai keeping the license is fine. I just hope they make a better looking DX VF-25. I too want Yamato to get the license though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ignacio Ocamica Posted February 19, 2009 Share Posted February 19, 2009 I haven't discovered something new , but we are talking about a show called "Chō Jikū Yōsai Makurosu" (The Super Dimension Fortress Macross), so it's going to be the SDF-1.

In fact if Bandai bothers to do it right (like its many other products), I would prefer Bandai to do it. Better technology, larger economic of scale, hopefully it would be cheaper.

Cent Posted February 19, 2009 Share Posted February 19, 2009 (edited) ITS GONNA BE SDF-2! Maybe we're overlooking things and its not mecha at all. Some sort of large scale singer? Edited February 19, 2009 by Cent Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought I read somewhere that it was "mechanical". My wild guess: a GU-11 gunpod toy. The toy lights up, and makes "RRRrrrrrr" sound.

edwin3060 Posted February 19, 2009 Share Posted February 19, 2009 Well, it might not be a Monster, but might it be a Koenig Monster? That would cash in nicely on the Macross Frontier franchise without infringing on Bandai after all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I think it's going to be the SDF-1... unless yamato is gonna do a 1:32 scale vf-1 LOL... I'd be really disappointed if they turn macross into what transformers has become. Then all the VF-1s will include auto-morph and blinking lights. If they do a SDF-1 i doubt it'll even come close to being on scale with the 1/60 VF-1s. I'm hoping for the monster as it's still large and easier to match their current line of 1/60 toys. And perhaps they can ride the MF wave as there's a monster in it. A enemy mech would be a definite change. perhaps i'll have to resort to the old matchbox robotech toys for that Edited February 19, 2009 by anotheran Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could you imagine the beyotching about Yamato's price if they WERE to release a house-sized SDF-1? At least you could live in it, I suppose.

CF18 Posted February 20, 2009 Share Posted February 20, 2009 LOL! Even a 1/200 SDF-1 would be 6m long, i.e. longer than a Hummer H2. 1/1200 (1m long) is about the starting point of possibility. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even that would be pretty excessive. I was thinking 1/2500. Wouldn't that be about twice the size of the WAVE (which was 1/5000)? That would bring it to a size just around the largest of the 1/60s or a 1/48 VF-1. Then it would allow them to go with a much nicer level of detail than the WAVE without going nuts in price. Construction would be similar to the Destroid, ABS and POM with healthy amounts of die cast. The SDF-1's transformation is relatively simple compared to most of the valkyries, so more emphasis could be put on materials like with the Destroids. Of course including ARMD 01 and 02 as well as the Daedalus and Prometheus would be compulsory. At that size they could probably even do removable panels to show detail. Then for a cherry on the cake, they could throw in like a couple 1/2500 Oberths with a stand to hold them all. THAT I would buy, even if it was like $200.

At least you could live in it, I suppose. Vostok 7 Given how many people are loosing their homes, Yamato could cash in. I mean - a 1/60 scale SDF-1 would STILL cost way less than even the most depreciated housing unit (unless you count those going for a dollar I guess)... At the very least, people could probably sell their houses now and buy a 1/60 SDF-1 for the money (would probably be worth the same). I imagine a 1/60 SDF-1 would sell for as little as 10 to 20 thousand USD - 25 thousand tops. I'd buy it and live in it. Of course then I'd NEED Yamato to make me a VF-1S voice changer helment...or at least a Zendradi uniform - then I can be "the last survivor" from the Supervision Army That would be fun.

VFTF1 Posted February 20, 2009 Share Posted February 20, 2009 Well, I'm six feet tall, so, horizontally speaking, only about 10 of me could fit in it if we all lied down? That's a pretty small living quarters. It's like a trailer of something. How tall would it be? In any case, I have 65 feet easy with just grass - well now snow- trees and stuff on it, so I could just plop it there. Heck, I could even build myself a nice 1/60 Atari Island "city diorama" around it. My 1/60 Yammies would then be able to play... weee that would be fun! Do it Yamato:) Do it:) Just make it so that payment can be via a loan and paid back in monthly rates. Pete Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The head/cockpit design is horrible the joints aren't anywhere beefy enough for the weight and the hip design is completely useless for posability and outright broken in terms of getting the wings to mate up with the body as intended in shuttle mode. I'm really hoping Bandai comes out with their own design Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
regult Posted February 20, 2009 Share Posted February 20, 2009 Did Graham say this before?

VFTF1 Posted February 20, 2009 Share Posted February 20, 2009 It would be funny if - by the time the SDF-1 came out - the exchange rate improved and it turned out that counted in non-Yen currencies, we spent more money on our Lyn Minmey statues or on one VF-1 1/60 than on the SDF-1 It actually is possible.. .
