Agreed Exo....same reason I purchased the Q-Rau. I knew that I (we) would not likely see another one anytime soon.

I'm all OVER it!!! Looks Great!!

My sentiments exactly....Double Nuts is good enough for me...19 was never my favorite Valk anyway.

All I am trying to understand is the fact that Yamato sells the YF-21/VF-22 for around $200+ give or take, it has a pretty complex transformation, is pretty darn large in battroid mode and a LOT of man hours had to go into research and assembly of that particular toy, which I think we can all agree is pretty darn cool. Now, the Regult's don't transform, the design is pretty straight forward and in my opinion would sell WAY more units than the 21-22's, and they want to DOUBLE the price??? Am I the only one who does NOT see the logic here????????

Now $400 for a Glaug WITH a Kamjin pilot in 1:60???? hmmmmmmmm.......x-mas present to myself???

LOL! LUV me some HGTV! In my next life I'm gonna be an interior designer!

DOH!!!!! :o That's what happens when you drink beer and decal Valks late at night!!!

agreed. I would go $200 for an assembled, painted one. I mean COME ON YAMATO, IT DOESN'T EVEN TRANSFORM FOR F*CKS SAKE!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ok guys.....my final 1:60 ver.2....(I think)....Roy's VF-1S TV. Took a while and went the extra mile to make this one come out perfect on panel lines and decals...used 1:48 water slides...yeh, I know...but honestly, if I hadn't TOLD you they were 1:48's and not 1:60's, would you really have known??? I love the way they came out..far better than stickers IMHO. Anyways, here are some pics of the final product....didn't do much weathering on it, kinda wanted it pristine looking..... FYI--1:60 Figures by EXO...(he rocks)

Here's hoping bud!!!

I agree, I have the old Matchbox SDF 1 displayed with all my Yamato stuff, and it's a great size..if the 1:3000 DYRL SDF-1 is around that size and anywhere under $3-$400 bucks, I will get it. TV version would be just tooooo sweet! You guys hoping for $250 or less are dreaming...This IS Yamato we're talking about here guys......

I don't think that particular sale is still going on--it was called the "Decal-ture" sale or something like that...but they still have some good sale prices on some Valks goin on.... http://www.hlj.com/hljlist2/?word2=&series2=Macross&scale2=All&Dis=-2&GenreCode=Sci&MacroType=Toy&Maker1=YMT&SeriesID=All&searchpage=Scitop

Cool. I'll wait to do jumping jacks until I see a price....

HLJ was shipping them with some items they had on sale about a month or so ago, got mine with my Gamlin VF-22.

well FRAK.

After much thought, I have decided to go ahead and use my 1:48 water slides on my 1:60 ver 2 VF-1S TV Focker......Most are almost the same size, and with no stupid clear flashing around them, the result is so far pretty sweet!! 1:60 water slides should be mandatory with every release, or at least an optional buy from Yamato--they just look SO much better than the stickers.....

That's sweet! And the Glaug news IS AWESOMEEEEE!!!!!

Yamato has failed me here....I realized getting a 1:60 Monster was prob never gonna happen, but I REALLY thought they would do all the others........ :angry:

bahahahahaaaa! good one!

I have 4 of these now...1 heavy missile, and 3 normal, dirtied them up a little bit, and they look pretty darn good (real darn good for the price) next to all my 1:60 ver 2's. I think the Toynami idiots might be onto something with these...I am hoping for many other varients and the Glaug maybe down the line??? Also, us Mospeada guys could only PRAY for some Invid figs.... I'm cool with the scale, as true 1:60 would be damned hard to display because of the sheer height. Anybody know when and if they are gonna release the next missile variant???

Got my box of goodies today! Everything is awesome! Great job!

Well, my water slide decals HLJ gave me with my VF-22, turns out they are 1:48...GReeeaaaaat.....REALLY wanted to do up my TV Roy with them......oh well...anybody want a set of water slide VF-1 1:48 decals???? :(

I am usually a sticker/decal freak when it comes to planes of any kind, but there is a part of me that because of the way a lot of Yamato stickers look after placement that makes me sometimes shy away from using all of them, especially on the darker color planes....The white and off white planes though look pretty darn good all with all the "No Steps" in red or black or whatever. Along with doing panel lines, it really ads a lot of detail. That being said, I also have this weird craving with my new VF-1S TV to leave it with just that "TV" anime look, and only do the minimum "must have" decals....

Well, I gave the Virgin Road canopy a good scrubbing with the Tamiya Thinner and a q-tip....It kinda worked...It took most of the rainbow off, not all. might try again later...still looks better than it did I guess. I display that one with the cockpit open, so it's not mucho important.

"I would so be in for a 1/60 Dark Bird and U.N. Headquarters Guard. I mean, why not? They've done every other Valk I can think of. The Dark Bird is particularly striking."-----------------my sentiment exactly!
