1/2000 Complete Transformation Macross SDF-1 Released

Already released since December 19th as mentioned in this previous posting, but with the price tag and limited release, I didn't expect seeing many reviews on this gigantic 1/2000 Complete Transformation Macross SDF-1 Prototype Model Kit (Heavy Duty Polyurethane Ver.) from Yamato. ^^;

Here are some new images of it from Futaba Imageboard:









Some comments posted about this item:
* Some mistakes in the assembly manual (? - 説明書の誤表記がかなりあって大変でした)
* There are linked movement between some of the parts during transformation, and they are quite stiff.
* The click component of the arm is a little loose
* Details of the city are inside the left leg

Those are the comments made on this particular kit alone, so it may not be applicable to all releases.

For your information, this 1/2000 Complete Transformation Macross SDF-1 Prototype Model Kit (Heavy Duty Polyurethane Ver.) is a Yamato Web Shop limited item. Pre-order period was between November 26th and December 20th. Production of this item is limited to just 10 units per month from Yamato, so not everyone who ordered this item will be getting it the same time.

The price is 210,000 Yen (inclusive of tax).
