I agree. I think the size will be one of the key draws to this line (especially in Japan).

In my case, both the scale size and affordability appeals to me. Right now I'm collecting a variety of things and I realize that shelf space will eventually become an issue. While I enjoy building kits, the downside is that they aren't for play. For those who don't build kits, they don't factor.

The 1/60 toys while nice are just a bit too expensive. Even if the price for these Hi-Metal toys is somewhere around $50 to $70 MSRP, that's still $50 to $70 cheaper than the 1/60 toys. That's a pretty appealing factor when you're on a certain budget but you are wanting/collecting both Macross toys and Macross DVDs (or something else).

1/100 scale is just about right. Not too small, not too big.
