Kind of hard to believe, but I just can't stop staring at it every few minutes. The sheer size and detailing on it just takes my breath away.

Head on over to Toynami.com and they have a completely revamped Robotech line...INCLUDING a G.I. Joe-sized Rand with his cycle armor.
I recently stumbled across these myslelf, and after a couple hours perusing and hearing the theme song from the Macross Saga in my head, decided to dive in (telling myself hey, they "kinda" fit in with Transformers LOL).
They can be a little pricey, but no more so than a decent Voyager, let along a 3rd party fig. They have the Veritech V1, Alpha and Beta fighters, and some of the minor characters mechs already...

I'm waiting for Yamato's eventual re-release of the DYRL VT-1 Super Ostrich--hopefully they'll fix the cracked shoulder hinge issue this time around.

You missed it buddy, It was a Japanese limited release, came and went in a blink of an eye. Now its retailing for about 400$+. Never even knew it had come out until after it was sold out.
I hate Japanese limited runs.

Wasn't the Elintseeker also a limited run? If Yamato re-released it, there's always a chance for a second go at the Super Ostrich too.
In any case, Yamato's been known to double or triple dip time and time again. They've been reusing the V2 VF-1 molds for ages (TV, DYRL, Low-Viz, Chavelier, VF-X, Anniversary), and will probably continue to use in the future. The YF-19 has also seen non-canon releases with its Anniversary, DN and BOP repaints.
Hell even the less popular VF-0's from MacZero have been re-released a couple years ago.
And since the VT-1 has seen only one release to date, there's every chance we might see Yamato dust off the mold for a second release.
I mean, they did re-release the Elintseeker, so why not the Super Ostrich?

Wait, what?! Seriously? Are you sure you didn't mean the VF-1D reissue?
I've pored over a lot of Macross forums, but I haven't come across any news on this. Even Yamato's official Japanese site didn't mention anything.RodimalToyota wrote:I know Bandai is a pain in the ass with releases, but I'm hoping Yamato learns from the high secondary market prices that these tools need to be released again.
QFT.
Fricking Bandai has been a real prick with their "web exclusive" V2 Macross Frontier valks. I consider myself lucky to have gotten the VF-25F, as well as the Super Parts. My local hobby store had to cancel Ozma's VF-25S and couldn't even bring in Michel's VF-25G for pre-order.
I used to think Yamato was better at distributing their product until recently. The VF-1D with optional parts was reissued right under my nose and I didn't even get wind of it; nether did my hobby store.
