Wave’s pricing isn’t really that bad for a smaller company. Hg Bandai kits are starting to creep up into the mid thirties these days. As an example for a smaller 1/35 kit of the scopedog without the cockpit and downform parts, it’s about thirty bucks and has extra hands, round mover back pack and a machine gun. A fairly good amount of plastic. 1/100 destroids don’t even have hands or extra weapons or back packs. I’d still expect they’d probably be near that range more or less

KOG Water Dragon Posted May 14 Posted May 14 Welp, I guess i need to get those wave vf-1s to put next to the 1/100 destroids and the bandai hg 1/100 stuff.

KOG Water Dragon Posted May 15 Posted May 15 Really wish they'd put work into a Spartan, now that they could use the design for both 1/72 and 1/100 scale kits.

I hope that’s coming soon. I know the main three are easy due to similar legs, but a Spartan would be great as well and maybe that 1/100 Monster they’ve been teasing for decades
Big s Posted September 11 Posted September 11 Tomahawk is up for preorder, love this picthey’re buddies

I keep looking for it but I’m happy for the 100 scake

I keep looking for it but I’m happy for the 100 scake It was cheaper the first run, but shipping and inflation happened and now it’s a pricey kit in 1/72. The 1/100 is mostly looking like a simplified compact version of the larger kit. And the new one fits in well with the wave VF-1 kits and hg Bandai kits.

sh9000 Posted September 13 Posted September 13 Ordered a couple of Tomahawks at Hobby Genki. A little cheaper than HLJ.

KOG Water Dragon Posted September 13 Posted September 13 I love the destroids. Its a shame they only had these 3 in Macross. It would have been really cool if they'd had a 4th. Maybe painted green. With big hands. Alas, I guess we shall never know how that might have turned out.

Maybe one day there will be a fourth and maybe we might even get lucky and see a fifth that has chicken legs, but super chonky

Does the Spartan share the lower body that those other three do? I admit I've never taken a super close gander at it...

I admit I've never taken a super close gander at it... As KOG said, it’s very unique. The only thing that might be similar are the missile hatches and even those don’t look exactly the same.the main reason that wave probably decided to do the main 3 in 1/72 and the prototypes for those 3 in 1/100 is that other than a few little bits on them, the lower halves are the same. I don’t think they ever even teased a spartan, although they did tease a 1/100 monster many many years ago. Maybe if the demand is high enough with the main three they might consider a 1/100 Spartan. I wouldn’t doubt that Plamax or even Hasegawa are thinking about it since they’re both running low on 1/72 og Macross mecha and wave had that fairly recent rerelease of the big three destroids and a 1/72 monster from those companies might be a little tough on the joints.

KOG Water Dragon Posted September 15 Posted September 15 True. I don't need it to come from Wave. I'd be happy with Plamax or Hasegawa doing it as long as it looks at home next to the existing destroids.
VF-1A Grunt Posted September 15 Posted September 15 I’d commit to buying six Spartans if Wave would do it in 1/72. I’d be ok with PLAMAX or Hasegawa, but I like the idea of the same manufacturer producing it so it matches the scale and “style” of the other Destroids.

The wave destroids already have a style that’s very tv oriented. Plamax definitely goes very tv and hasegawa has been leaning more to that style as well. I think as long as it’s in scale, it would fit very well no matter which of those companies puts it out.
