On top of that the only new non Valkyrie kits/toys that have been released
in the last decade are the SDF-1 and the Queadluun Raus. On top of that the
Destroids don't have the benefit of being able to reuse the designs like the
Valkyries have. I love the Queadluun Rau design and would've picked one up
in a heartbeat except I really don't like the movie color schemes. IF they
released a classic TV green version I would buy it immediately.
Sorry for all the "On top of that" references. The one thing I wanted to
add on is that the only Macross design that can be reused like the Valkyrie
is the Regult Pod. While I like their design a lot, they aren't exactly as
glamorous as a Valkyrie.
True, but so what? Glamorous to whom? I would love those clowns to
finally acknowledge the existence of all the other designs in that
universe. So what if they aren't as cool, any kid who buys a good guy
model wants to have the bad guy model next to it. And the Destroids can
certainly reuse part of their designs, three of them share the same
hips/legs sections. And think of the challenge of building a Monster in
the same scale as the other Destroids and Valkyries. I bought a 1/48th
scale Valkyrie toy (Yamato) because of the cool detail. I'd buy one of
each Destroid at that scale before I bought the rest of the Valkyries,
to say nothing of owning a couple of the Pods.
Really, Gundams are the most glamorous of mobile suit designs yet there
are plenty of lesser known, plainer, less exciting models coming out for
other designs, yes?
