Thessair Posted March 24, 2016 Posted March 24, 2016 I was wondering if there had been any update on the release of these. Apparently not. Darn.
sh9000 Posted March 24, 2016 Posted March 24, 2016 The toy and packaging look cool but it's way too small. If Bandai reissued the 1/3000 SDF-1 I'd be fine with that.

That was Yamato not Bandai, plus it was the DYRL version, gross. Probably sh9000 is referring to the old Takatoku 1/3000 version and assuming that Bandai acquired it somehow for reissuing like the 1/55 Valks(?).
sh9000 Posted March 24, 2016 Posted March 24, 2016 Yep jvmacross posted a pic of one on the previous page.
Tking22 Posted March 24, 2016 Posted March 24, 2016 (edited) Yep jvmacross posted a pic of one on the previous page. I didn't even know that was a thing, all I'd heard about a 1/3000 SDF-1 was the Yamato version. I guess if Bandai ever did take a stab at a SDF-1 again it would probably be in the Hi-Metal or DX line, which would be sweet. Edited March 24, 2016 by Tking22
sharky Posted March 24, 2016 Posted March 24, 2016 (edited) At a $60 price point I'm totally getting this. With nothing else in the forseeable future for a TV version SDF-1 I'm not passing on this. Edited March 24, 2016 by sharky

I get the nastolgic factor, but this new Megahouse sculpt even with its flaws looks way nicer than the old Takatoku toy. I'll take a smaller much nicer looking toy over a larger chunky monkey toy.

That's actually a great idea.....but if they did...maybe they could upgrade it's articulation...like what fellow MWer NightmareB4Macross did with his.... http://www.macrossworld.com/mwf/index.php?app=galleryâ„‘=5461 However, I'd still prefer Bandai go all Chogokin DX on a lineart accurate 1/3000 SDF-1 (1/1800 would be perfectly acceptable too!) Hopefully, Bandai is testing the waters with their Megahouse mini-SDF-1....not much else we can do but wait and hope the "intended market" actually buys it
ZorClone Posted March 24, 2016 Posted March 24, 2016 if we knew final fit and finish and materials of it, I'd throw a couple on preorder as it is.. but, yeah. Not sure I want to go in blind.
Nightbat Posted March 28, 2016 Posted March 28, 2016 Seems I'm not too late for this party yet Gotta say that at 20cm (including base?) it's a bit small, but looking at static/non transformable figures of the same size going for Y9000+, it's price is actually not that bad Luckily I already have the 1/3000 Yamato, and I don't think we'll be seeing a TV version anywhere soon
no3Ljm Posted March 29, 2016 Posted March 29, 2016 if we knew final fit and finish and materials of it, I'd throw a couple on preorder as it is.. but, yeah. Not sure I want to go in blind. Probably it's the same material they use on their Cosmo Fleet line. And so far, the details on the other Cosmo Fleet line is somehow decent. So I think this will be a great additional to our ever growing Macross collection. But what I'm sure of is that this will look great at my workstation.

Both in cruiser and in attack modes.
Drad Posted March 29, 2016 Posted March 29, 2016 Just sent AmiAmi my payment for the SDF-1 and Masterpiece Shockwave. Looking forward to both of them!
mechaninac Posted March 29, 2016 Posted March 29, 2016 I got the Amiami payment request as well; and since I had the Figma Motoko Arise figure awaiting payment too, I decided to combine them into one shipment. Now just have to wait for their final quote and deadline... hope it's first week of April as I have already spent way too much this March.
derex3592 Posted March 29, 2016 Posted March 29, 2016 Hmmm...patiently waiting for a payment request!
treatment Posted March 29, 2016 Posted March 29, 2016 still no news on release date? I received payment request for it from Ami this morning when I check my email...

mickyg Posted March 30, 2016 Posted March 30, 2016 Mine too, Spanner! Looks like this morning at about 7am was the time to get requests, here in Oz.

Mr Bomber Posted March 31, 2016 Posted March 31, 2016 paid mine, now thinking if should ship it right away or wait for more stuff on my PW.
spanner Posted March 31, 2016 Posted March 31, 2016 yay! shipping notice! can't wait to get this little guy!
spanner Posted March 31, 2016 Posted March 31, 2016 Mine too, Spanner! Looks like this morning at about 7am was the time to get requests, here in Oz. yeah the payment request came through pretty early this morning but mine was set to auto payment so it was more a payment notification rather than a request.. either way all good!
Mr Bomber Posted March 31, 2016 Posted March 31, 2016 yeah the payment request came through pretty early this morning but mine was set to auto payment so it was more a payment notification rather than a request.. either way all good! mines is on the way too.!
spanner Posted March 31, 2016 Posted March 31, 2016 im sure it will arrive sometime during next week and as I will still be off due to recent injuries through next week will mean I will be home when it arrives! woo woo!
Roanstalker Posted March 31, 2016 Posted March 31, 2016 So is perfect transformation or need to pull it apart to change forms?
sharky Posted March 31, 2016 Posted March 31, 2016 Paid this morning. It's now sitting in my HLJ private warehouse. Need to add on a few things before I ship.
easnoddy Posted March 31, 2016 Posted March 31, 2016 So is perfect transformation or need to pull it apart to change forms? Parts swapping. Namely the central section.
