For those of you who do, post pics of your collection!
e.g.


And if any of you got a 1/48 LVs or 1/48s like those listed in my signature, pm me too.

Below is the 1/60 Yamato ROY w/FP DYRL version: 

Only got Hikaru's 1S at the moment. (Although I ordered Max's 1J in May, still waiting on it) in 1/48th scale. Great toy, hate the hands, though. Only pic I have I did for a size comparison of toys. Still like it, though.

That IS my Yamato collection, sadly.

Nothing sad about that, you got some great figures! It isn't quantity, it is QUALITY!

These are all the Macross figs I have not but but I like them

And here is a great review on the Yamato 1/72 YF-IIB w/FP! :

oh, i have a HUGE collection of MACROSS!!!



And there she is, my collection in it's entirety. Sorry for the blurry pics, i only have a webcam!

Those SD Macross ones always make me smile! 

I have a fairly large collection but they're all in storage and I lack a decent camera... The VF-1S is one of my favorite mecha of all time...

Niiice Dx76!  You plan on getting any M+ YFs? 

Oh man I almost missed that Prime colored Valk! That is great, did you custom it yourself? Can we see close up pics?!

If you ever get them out, please share pics! Thanks! 

List of my sorrowfull Macross collection . (Sorry got no Digital cam plus I don't count my Toynami's) I don't even have any 1/48's (yet).

-1/50 Reissue Bandai Vf-1A Cannon Fodder
-1/60 Yamato Vf-1A Max
-1/60 Yamato VF-1S Focker
-Banpresto Hikaru VF-1A,J,S Perfect Transformation
-Banpresto Cannon Fodder VF-1A,J,S Perfect Transformation

I cancelled my monster order & didn't get a lo-viz b/c i think it's ugly. I may get a max & millia 1/48 & the monster later, but I waiting for the VF-0S from Macross Zero next.

I read there is no plans for Yamato to release ANY new toys. When do you think they might release something?

Also can you get some 1/48 LVs? Lmk via pm if so, I want some! Thanks!

Some really nice stuff:

Nice collection! But I don't see any 1/60s and the 1/48 LV.

Nice collection, thanks for sharing!

Anyone else here collect Yammies?

Next 1/48 Mass Production Machine Color...

I've owned several Macross toys over the past 6-7 years. From the Yamato Macross Plus Valkyries, to the 1/72 DYRL Valkyries, Macross 7 Models and a VF-1S 1/48 Valkyrie. There are other items too, such as the VF-2ss 1/72 Macross Model, which is really popular.

1/48 VF-1S w/ FP...

Beautiful! Thanks for sharing!

Makes me really wish they'd release a 1/48 for VF-2ss. Sigh probably will remain vaporware though.

At least we have some good news though on the 1/48 front. Now if they'd only let us know more about the GBP and whether or not it comes with a Hikky.

My only Valkyrie I have.

Cool, looks like a 1/60 Strike Valk and I can't tell. Can you id them?

erm, let me find my digital camera and ill post the pic of my Valkerie.. and jetfire cause i guess he counts too lol

kk here we go



and just cuz

Niice.

I need some advice regarding this item. Pre-orders are popping up and this will be my first Macross toy since I was a kid. Throw in a Fast Pack and Display Stand totals the damage to $220 (I can buy a lot of BT and TCS reissues with that kind of money!) which is not too unreasonable considering the awesome detail of the toy.

The biggest problem I am having is price versus durability. I know that it is more of a display piece, but considering all 3 modes I know will end up transforming him more than a few times. I am pretty careful with my Alternators, but they seem capable of multiple transformations. How careful do I need to be with a Yamato 1/48? I know the difference in playablity when comparing it to a Bandai 1/55, but what about comparing it to transforming capabilites of Alternators. Is the Yamato more delicate? While I don't see myself buying a spare Alt. Tracks for parts, should I do for the Yamato 1/48?

I broke one.    There's a thread about it:

http://www.TFans.com/talk/index.php?showtopic=6128

I find them more delicate than BTs are (the VB-6 Konig also frightens me) but I'm totally hamfisted so adjust according to your own skill level.  I prefer simpler more durable transformations.  But I love the way the Yamato stuff looks in display.

The 1/48's a nice toys but the quality of the plastic seems to feel a bit on the flimsy side.  As far as durability goes, the 1/48 is not too shabby but expect parts to pop off here and there (most notorious are the wing flaps).  Nothing flakes (as in the case of Binaltechs) during transformation.  It works out better as a display piece as opposed to a plaything.  And it looks pretty bad-ass no matter what mode it's in on your shelf.  The FAST packs do make the 1/48's back heavy.

I personally love the 1/60's (I have every single one).  They're now relatively cheap (at least cheaper than the 1/48's) and have diecast legs (there is very little zinc in the 1/48's).  The 1/48's are nice toys but waaay expensive if it's going to be something you want to play with on a regular basis.  I suggest that if you want but one ULTIMATE Macross toy, get the 1/48 and display it.  If you want something more to play with, stick with the 1/60's or 1/55's.

I remember there being some good reviews of the 1/48's over at macrossworld.com.  Hope this helps.

1/48s are better in design and far more show accurate than any other scales. 1/60s are nice but they have their share of problems too. Demand for the 1/48s easily surpasses all the rest even the 1/55s. Read the other Macross toy threads here, I'll bump them.

Here are some reviews:

Also, please note, NEVER buy from TSINC! They are overpriced and charge waay too much for shipping too. No pickups even if you live in the same fracking city! Nuts.

Screw it, I am getting one. I wish I could get 2, so I could keep one MISB.

Any recommendations where to buy display stands? I have seen people use those 3 prongs clear ones.

THose are no longer in production, the company recently closed down. But you might find some around online. Which ones do you need? Pm.

I found some over at Twin Moons, look like they have some in stock (but not the custom ones since the company is out of business).

Anyone every have this one?

I recently (actually, Saturday) got my first (and probably only) Veritech, the 1/60 Yamato VF-1S Strike Veritech. It's a great toy, and from what I hear it's far better for "playing" with, as I've already transformed it several times. Khan told me about the breakage of his 1/48, so while they look nice, and you don't need to remove parts (you need to remove the legs for transformation on the 1/60, but I'm not really put off by that factor), but from what I hear they're quite fragile compared to some toys, like BTs (which are still durable, as they have playability potential). My 1/60 came to about $137 with shipping included -- granted, the 1S is pretty much the most popular version (DAMN YOU JETFIRE FOR HELPING MAKE THE MOLD SO POPULAR! Err...wait, I like Jetfire ), but it's one of my favorite toys yet, and I just got it yesterday. Still, whatever floats your boat.

Yeap.  That's why I love 'em!  Cheaper, comes with a ton of accessories, looks pretty good, is pretty durable (watch for paint wear on those legs), and they all have a nice Chogokin heft!

Speaking of which, what is that Soul of Chogokin stuff? I've seen a couple of Unit 01 toys produced under that title.

SOC is a new-ish (been out for a while now) line of zinc-packed Ban Dai remakes (often cooler remakes) of classic toys from yesteryear (YEAH! DANCOUGA! GAIKING!).  They also include miscellaneous titles like EVA and Godzilla.  Good stuff but pricey.

I like the name...it's so Engrishy

SOUL OF CHOGOKIN

I got some, but the 4" ones are better if you got the 2" and 6" ones to mix and match otherwise the 4" don't provide much variety when displaying. TM only has the 4" ones left, after that they are sold out.

Anyways, back on topic and away from the SOC bit... the 1/48s are the most show accurate transformation. The 1/48 scale Yamato Macross toys are for collectors and they are expensive in comparison to the 1/60s. Most people mistakenly believe they are oh so flimsy, but they aren't. I have over 10 of them and many collectors don't have any problems either. Read up on the tips @ MW for new collectors b/c transforming it while complex is half the fun!

The transformation of the 1/48 is what makes it for me.  That and the fact that it's pretty big!
