Yamato & Bandai Macross Toys

[Fungal Infection]

That 1/10 Mospeada Bartley looks hawt - too bad it'll be ridiculously expensive like the others in the series. Megahouse really need to release a Bartley to go with their Yellow and Ley/Stick ride armours.

An armoured messiah

and a 1/48 YF-19!

Thank the powers that be that YF-19 is a kit and not a toy. Macross collecting is already expensive enough as it is. Love the armoured Messiah, but I still need to grab the Bandai Ozma and Alto first.

Thanks Gamblor, you just know the Hase YF-19 is going to look great, doubt it will transform tho - dunno, might just be an upscaled version of the 1/72 kit.

Ozma looks incredible in the armour pack.

In the toy section Yamato are repainting their 1/60 Macross Plus toys... again:

1/60 Sturmvogel II



1/60 Bird of Prey



1/60 Double Nuts

[gamblor916]

That VF-19 is made by Hasegawa so it'll be non transforming but have superb detail and fit.
At 1/48 it's going to be huge

[Lord_Zed]

And then there's the 1/60 scale armoured VF25 comming to.

I really like the Sturmvogel, would have preffered Max or myllia colours though The 19's are nice to I hope Yamato has fixed up the problems with the 19 on these repaints though.

My other big hope is that the number of repaints like these and the Destroids leads to some overstocking and discounting in the near future. Come on guys cross your fingers.......

To many cool looking new toys damnit!
