All things Macross
So I was rewatching Macross Frontier and I realized that my Macross collection is sorely lacking. I really only have the Yamato VF-19A in game colours and the Wave 1/5000th scale SDF-1. The rest are smaller and generally non transforming. I've put a preorder in for the Macross Zero 1/60 VF-0S coming out this Dec from Arcadia to add to my collection.
As I began my search to see what was out there I realized that Arcadia has now replaced Yamato and have begun to re-release some of the molds. Also that Bandai had done their own line now.
I want to build my collection around the 1/60th scale considering I already have the VF-19A and I'm happy with the that scale considering potential space issues.
Now I'll be collecting these as I have room in the budget. I'm just curious from those who collect, what is the quality like on the Bandai ones? Obviously the prices are a little more attractive. However, I've looked at a few pictures and they don't seem to scale with the Yamato/Arcadia versions? Of course I haven't looked into the exact "real" measurements of the fighters so maybe the VF-25 are supposed to be smaller than the older models (IE more advanced tech) Also is it a case of you pay for what you get?
I do also want to pick up a few of the VF's from Frontier. But does Bandai own the licenses for these fighters?
