"The chimney behind the bridge houses a secret set of missiles." Chimney?!?!? CHIMNEY?!?!?!? It is called a STACK!!! Just for that nautical insult towards my favorite ship you should give me that TAITO Yamato that you got coming in... or at least hook me up with you contact...

Taito Hunting

Berserk — Thu, 31 Jan 2008 20:49:34 -0500

Well, I guess it's time hunting that Taito's Yamato...

I'm not really sure what's

Gigamach — Thu, 31 Jan 2008 20:16:36 -0500

I'm not really sure what's up, but there has been a TON of Yamato love around lately. And I share that love.

thanks for the review. I've been really hopiung to get one of these, and while I appreciate the "unplayability" of this, I'd LOVE to have it on my desk, activating cannons and sending Cosmo Tigers on sortie.

As for that TAITO one...Hory Shid! I want it, if I could find it for that low-low price. Maybe I'll find one when I finally go to Japan in March? We'll see. Definately on the hunt for the Arcadia that comes out in Febuary...

I saw the Taito one locally.

I saw the Taito one locally. It's a great piece you can "swoosh" around without fear of losing $50 in parts as they fall off into the abyss.

It's out of production - these Taito things are usually one run wonders - but I saw it last night 01-30-08. If you want it, I can try to grab it for you. I saw that Raideen they did too Josh. They're doing a nice big Cosmo too.

It reminds me of the Thunderbirds stuff they did a few years back. I got the TB2 they made and it's a great toy without the price of the Aoshima or the craziness of the Takara releases. As a lucky accident it's scale to the Konami gashapon of the pod vehicles.

Taito put out a soft vinyl

Taito put out a soft vinyl yamato that is about $20 us that seems about the same size. It might be what you are looking for.

I bought this toy last year

el_super_guapo — Thu, 31 Jan 2008 13:08:07 -0500

I bought this toy last year when they re-released it.
I don't think I paid over $200. I felt the same way; the tiny pieces are a pain, and it is NOT meant to be played with.
But overall, I still love it, although I am afraid to even touch it.

One Big Yamato

17 inch... wow, that one big toy. I remember seeing this one on a Soul of Chogoukin book. I always like the design, too bad the cost and the size make me rethinking about buying this. Looks like I have to settle for a smaller ship.

Nice Review.
