yeah, the only importstore carrying it here is asking like 40 euro`s for it...(about 59 USD) which is too steep in my book, even if it`s my birthday wednesday...

The price is the only thing that's concerning me. Once I realized how cheap it is I became worried that it might be the same Toynami quality we have come to know and love.

Wait were you talking about the Shadow Chronicles DVD or the Mospedia Alpha?

you mean the Aoshima Legioss release?it`s said to have had some tweaks done but all I heard so far was only a simple addition of missiles and launchers, nothing on partfit.personally I`m waiting for news on the CM's Corporation Legioss and Thread set. sure, it`ll be expensive but it`s an entirely new mold for BOTH veritechs and CM's is said to have exellent QC.

Good day!

Can any of you guys tell me more about this figure? I found this one in a store near my place. (I'm living overseas. Seems like an interesting piece and at 1/65 in scale with my MP Skywarp. Your replies will be appreciated.

so, with the first episode of Macross Frontier having aired as a preview(series fully starts in april), who has downloaded and viewed it? :grin:

News Credits: 4 · by **the purifyer** » Tue Dec 25, 2007 2:19 am

Oh I forgot that it's already aired.
I'm gonna start hunting it down. Just too bad my internets still still slowed down till the end of the month...(curse you telstra!)
Thanks for the reminder

Oh and for Christmas I got a very nice 1/48 CF-1J Hikaru and 1/48 GBP armor set :grin:

They look very sexy together.

OH! And everyone has heard that Yamato is going back to 1/60 Vf-1? Yep a scaled down 1/48 with a little extra, big points are:
*Perfect transformation (of course)
*Non splitting rear thruster fans
*non removable nosecone
* New double jointed arms
AND the big news is THEY'RE DESIGNED SO THEY CAN MAKE 2 SEATER VALKS!

Also, PM me if you want a link to Macross Frontier ep1 :wink:

I know Purifyer, though I`ll have to redo a custom of mine I`m working on, I am SO gonna collect these babies to complement my other 1/60`s. :grin:

Hey guys. I am very excited about the new redesigned 1/60th figures. They will be a bit cheaper than the 1/48th's. There is way to much on the horizon. I have the two 25th Anni figures on preorder...than I need to get the SV-51 Nora Type and the YF-21....oi. I think I will wait awhile on the SV-51 CF.

I loose my computer for a week and a half and all heck breaks loose on Siebertron. What the duce happened to the site? Anyway I'm glad to see them going back to the 1/60th scale and applying the designs and improvements they created for the 1/48th scale line. I have my VF-0S with Ghost booster, Ideon, Voltes V, and Iron Giant or whatever his name is waiting to be opened. Merry Christmas everyone here.

merry christmas indeed Chuck, Macross Frontier started, news on new valks AND there`s a bunch of macross kits being reissued next year including 1/100 Glaugs...gotta get me one to set against my Toynami`s :mrgreen:

the glaug I`m currently building is 1/72 so no scale equals there.

Yamato puts out some very amazing Macross figures, but they are expensive due to being released in Japan. The 1/48th VF-1 valks usually go for around $150, but the 1/60th YF-19 and other Macross Plus or Zero valks go for $200+.

The smaller figures, the 1/60 scale are more expensive than the 1/48 scale? The 1/60 must be more detailed?
