Thessair Posted March 24, 2016 Share Posted March 24, 2016 I was wondering if there had been any update on the release of these. Apparently not. Darn. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sh9000 Posted March 24, 2016 Share 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was Yamato not Bandai, plus it was the DYRL version, gross. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 Share Posted March 24, 2016 Yep jvmacross posted a pic of one on the previous page. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tking22 Posted March 24, 2016 Share 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.

sharky Posted March 24, 2016 Share 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZorClone Posted March 24, 2016 Share 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nightbat Posted March 28, 2016 Share 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
no3Ljm Posted March 29, 2016 Share 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drad Posted March 29, 2016 Share Posted March 29, 2016 Just sent AmiAmi my payment for the SDF-1 and Masterpiece Shockwave. Looking forward to both of them! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mechaninac Posted March 29, 2016 Share 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.
