Dobber Posted January 13, 2011 Share Posted January 13, 2011 DAMN IT!!!!!! I just noticed that the forward little antenna on the bottom of my BPX fell off and I can't find it anywhere!!!! Anyone have any resin skills and could possibly cast a copy. This is really going to limit the resale value now!!! Frak! Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lonely Soldier Boy Posted January 15, 2011 Share Posted January 15, 2011 (edited) Hey everybody. I'm a newbie at Yamato collecting and been wanting to get a good Yamato toy/kit from a few years now, so I have two questions: I love the GX-57, but it lacks folding wings, rights? You have to put them in and out unlike the BPX? And which kit is better overall? The 2007 1/350 of the New 1/500? Thanks a million!

Kyp Durron Posted January 16, 2011 Author Share Posted January 16, 2011 Yes, the GX 57 lacks the folding wings, see my review and UN Spacy's review. The 1/350 is very big and very complex to put together. The 1/500 is much easier to built and can be built with minimal painting. I posted a picture of it and the 1/500 on page two of this thread. The only thing I did to the 1/500 is mix paint to cover up the sprue marks and panel line it with a GM02 Gundam marker. -Kyp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lonely Soldier Boy Posted January 17, 2011 Share Posted January 17, 2011 Cool, thanks Kyp. Sounds like the 1/500 is the way to go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UN Spacy Posted January 20, 2011 Share Posted January 20, 2011 Vote for the GX-57 as best Chogokin of 2010. It's only one vote behind Mazinger-Z. http://www.collectiondx.com/front Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arrow Posted January 20, 2011 Share Posted January 20, 2011 although I don't any of the ones in the list. I voted for the GX_57. its more of a toy with all the features than the others that just feature articulation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UN Spacy Posted January 22, 2011 Share Posted January 22, 2011 Preorders for the Andromeda have closed at AmiAmi. I wonder if it'll come with a first run extra like the Yamato did. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eugimon Posted January 22, 2011 Share Posted January 22, 2011 i'd be cool to get them all in scale with each other. I'd love to have a sci-fi fleet of the Macross, Yamato, Galactica, an Entrprise or 3 and some SW cap ships. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd love to have a sci-fi fleet of the Macross, Yamato, Galactica, an Entrprise or 3 and some SW cap ships. It would be cool to see a video game much like Destiny Warriors Gundam but with Capital ships. Who would win in a face off. Both have huge cannons. Both have a beam weapon with massive capacity for destruction Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Conversely a Yamato in scale with a reasonably sized star destroyer would probably be the size of a AA battery. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Conversely a Yamato in scale with a reasonably sized star destroyer would probably be the size of a AA battery. regular star destroyers aren't that much longer than the SDF-1. 1600m versus 1210. And a 1/300 scale Yamato would be small, but still longer than an ARMD so there's still plenty of space for details. The Executer on the other hand...

Kyp Durron Posted January 28, 2011 Author Share Posted January 28, 2011 Yeah, I guess for some it might actually be for the best, but I already had all the money in Paypal just waiting to pull the trigger.
