ErikElvis Posted November 3, 2011 Share Posted November 3, 2011 I would love one. Doesn't need any fancy gimmicks. Just a nice standalone version. Of course Id prefer the X-9 but they all intrigue me in some way. Im sure R&D wouldn't be hard. I doubt would sell for big bucks either. Im surprised it hasn't been done.

EXO Posted November 3, 2011 Share Posted November 3, 2011 I think they would have done by now, but I could be wrong. It does seem like they finished the Macross Plus line for now and they seem to be on the Macross 7 kick. I'm not sure if they can even sell anything for cheap at this time. The price of the VF-17 scares me into believing that something like the ghost would end up costing about $100. Again, pure speculation on my part. I'm really curious to see how the 17 is going to do and what they're gonna do after. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ErikElvis Posted November 3, 2011 Author Share Posted November 3, 2011 I actually just looked in the for sale section and saw a Ghost for VF-25 by Bandai. I had no idea. I looked up pictures and seems pretty small. And they seem to go for around $100. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GXPT2000 Posted November 3, 2011 Share Posted November 3, 2011 (edited) there is also always the macross zero ghost booster(does that even count?) Edited November 3, 2011 by GXPT2000 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
treatment Posted November 3, 2011 Share Posted November 3, 2011 there is also always the macross zero ghost booster(does that even count?) of course, it does. why would it not? when it's standalone, it's a Ghost. when paired with the VF-0, it's a Ghost-Booster. Heck! The old A-version was called Ghost. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anime52k8 Posted November 3, 2011 Share Posted November 3, 2011 All drone fighters in Macross have been called Ghosts, it's sort of a franchise tradition. and as others have pointed out Yamato released QF-2001 ghosts as part of their Macross Zero line and Bandai released an AIF-7S (QF-4000) ghost as part of than add on set for the RVF-25. IIRC, the QF-2001 stand alone sets never sold particularly well and could be had at considerable discount when they where still available. The Bandai ghost's where web exclusives which came with a bunch of other add on parts and cost way too much to begin with. Personally I'd love to buy an X-9 Ghost if it had similar construction and price to the Sound Booster (i.e. clear parts, working landing gear and opening missile bay for about $100) and I'd be willing to pay more if it came with it's Super parts. and Beyond that I'd really love a QF-3000: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MacrossJunkie Posted November 4, 2011 Share Posted November 4, 2011 I wouldn't mind an AIF-9V that was used by the Galaxy fleet as long as it wasn't nearly $100 like the accessory pack for the RVF-25. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anime52k8 Posted November 4, 2011 Share Posted November 4, 2011 It would be worth $100 if it wasn't just a little hunk of plastic with no metal, internal detail or articulation of any kind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ff95gj Posted November 4, 2011 Share Posted November 4, 2011 US$100 would be too expensive for this and a few missiles. Though I didn't get it real cheap either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graham Posted November 4, 2011 Share Posted November 4, 2011 IIRC, I paid under HK$500 for the Bandai Ghost & Missile set. Graham Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even better if they included a clear plastic "hologram" Sharon Apple, or that console unit thing she travels around in. Then again, if it's gonna drive the price up, I'll happily take just the X-9.

Uxi Posted November 8, 2011 Share Posted November 8, 2011 I'd get it. Ideally, we could get the QF-2001 (Zero0), QF-3000E (SDF), and X-9 (Plus) Ghosts in some sort of evolution pack? Along with 2 or 3-packs of former? Maybe throw in a couple 1/60 pilot and standing figs? Ground crews? Weapons packs? (I'd love AMRAAM's and AIM-9X that could mount on a VF-1 pylon).

Yeah, just take a $250 toy and slam it into a $150 toy as hard as you can so that they both break into a million pieces. If and when that happens be sure to film it.

ErikElvis Posted November 12, 2011 Author Share Posted November 12, 2011 (edited) would be nice to have a holographic see through kinda card to display behind it with sharon apple pic and Isamu written all over it. I think it would be a winner. And I don't my my stamp of approval on many things.
