docterteeth Posted January 24, 2011 Share Posted January 24, 2011 SO Graham what is the eta for Yamato to make more of these? They have to be happy with the reviews and the sales so it stands to reason they have to be considering doing more. Help reassure fans who didn't get it in the first batch and want to avoid paying more through ebay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After reading that list, I would have to say not really. I would have said Kaneda's bike, but I guess it already lost out to SDF-1 in it's category class.

UN Spacy Posted January 24, 2011 Share Posted January 24, 2011 HLJ is now saying "Feb. Restock" so it looks like the stock situation will improve shortly. I hope Yamato is being cautiously optimistic about this. Keep the demand coming, but dont flood the market to where stock needs be discounted at a ridiculous price (see: Macoss Quarter).

It was a tossup for me though as I do like the build of the bike, and the fact it blows the doors off of the Mcfarland version I also have.

EXO Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 This reminds me of growing up in the Philippines when all the rich kids at school were bringing in their giant Chogokins of Voltes V and Mazinger Z and I'd just look over their shoulders and drool. Thanks MW... thanks for bringing back that childhood trauma I buried deep inside. Ceeeeelebrate good times COME ON!!! It's a ceeeelebration.

BlueMax Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 Seems it won by a landslide too! Quoting from the site: "Apparently the SDF-1 is so awsome it couldn't be contained to winning just one category of voting. You the readers not only voted it best Macross/Robotech toy of the year it also took Best High End and the Best of the best, Toy of the Year 2010. WE found the fit, finish, quality of materials and painstaking detail to be well worth the price tag and apprantly fans and collectors around the world agree as Yamato sold out of all of its stock of this $330 toy within days of being released."

boyarque Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 Whooppeeeee!! Really...to fit all those minute details on a 1/3000 scaled SDF-1, after being downscaled from the 1/2000 version, is quite a feat! Except for the price point, which almost everybody agrees, this is a 'dream come true' toy. And personally, this baby sits right next to my 1/24 Patlabor....

KiriK Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 Hey, quick question. Did anyone get one missing their instruction manual? I can't find it, and i don't remember if i dropped it somewhere. Where is located in the box? is it taped to the styrofoam? i think i might have gotten jipped. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boota Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 I think you mean yamatoed. If you got gypped, you'd probably be missing the SDF-1 too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
