I've had mine almost 2 weeks now.....

You're gonna REALLY hate me then.... Finally got around to doing panel lines and some light weathering on my VE-1 late on Halloween night....Once the stickers were applied, I took some pics....Awesome Valk...now EVEN better!! cool.gif

AGREED!

"Interesting plot twist".......this thread reminds me of a day time soap....

+1 here. That is just ridiculous. I hope that price is wrong. There is no way that transformation is that difficult when compared to a YF-21 for $200. Yamato is nuts.

I'm SO gonna end up caving in and buying this.....then kick myself ten times over when they release the TV one in 6 months....then buy that one.....I CURSE the day I found this website AND heard the word Yamato and did anyone else just fall in love with the way they used like 7 VF-1J's in different stages of transformation??!! That's badass!!!

AGREED 1000%.

+ 1..............

New question... VF-11 and VF-22...worth the money? They both look unbelievably good in pictures. Any HUGE problems that I should look out for? I can only speak to the VF-11B, great toy, great transformation, getting the heat shield out and connected the first time is uhhh.....fun....to say the least....Only slight problem is with the rear landing gear pegs pulling out, happened on mine the other day, not a huge deal for me, doesn't fall out or anything, just be aware. The rear gear is a b*tch to get out too........ If you're a fan of Mac Plus...get one, if not, take a pass and save yourself $200.

Actually, you can rotate and swivel the bottom sensor pack into a position which would easily allow a pilot to land normally, and you can display it with the landing gear down and all the parts attached....I just did it the other day!

AGREED!!! Where's my Alaska Base Green Valk Yamato???????

Can't wait for your pics and maybe a nice short review??? (to tell us if they have improved anything on the original brown release?) I have not purchased a 19 yet because I am patiently waiting for someone to give me a good solid reason for dropping that amount of cash on one Valk. I do need one to go with the other 2 Mac Plus Valks though!!!!

That sucks man, sorry to hear that. Mine is perfectly fine. Swivels, goes up and down, no problems......

In my giddiness to take it out and play with it, didn't notice the pilots are different!!! Had the one for the back in the front! DOH!!! Now they both fit and I am a totally happy camper!!!

I personally cant wait to get back into modeling, I have been out for some years now, but in my new place, I can dedicate an entire extra bedroom to modeling! I was doing it back before the days of the Internet! Three is SO much information out there now, it is going to very nice to have it all right at my fingertips!! I hope I still enjoy it as much as i used to. It was relaxing, (although sometimes frustrating)!! I'm gonna do a couple of practice builds first, before I try the 1:48 VF-1, now...where did I pack my airbrush??????

I'll just chime in here and say that every single time I have ordered from OD, they have had my package on my doorstep within 4 days. Every Valk has arrived perfect and well packed.

GOT my VE-1 today!!! Just have a few minutes to get it out of the box and attach all the parts before I have to go to work, and I must say I think this is one of, if not THE BEST Valk Yamato has put out to date. This thing is just super cool! TONS of Tampo printing on this thing! Even the markings on and around the main rear landing bay doors are tampo! LOVE it. Can't wait to decal, panel line and detail this bad boy over the weekend!!! p.s.-----anybody find an easy way to get the back seat guy in???

LOVE IT!!!!!

Got my shipping notice for my VE-1 from Overdrive today!!! Hopefully I'll have it for the weekend!!!

ohhhh man, that is looking GOOD! (not for the wallet however).....

yeahh......I hear you...that shoulder/forearm thing is REALLY annoying..and kinda the only thing that keeps these from looking pretty darn good in fighter mode, which is how mine are gonna stay more than likely when I get my permanent dispay set up.....

YES!!! That---AND when you are buying a new house and the FIRST thing you think about when looking at floorplans is....."where is the "TOY" room gonna be and is it BIG enough"???, and you find yourself upgrading floor plans to INSURE it's BIG enough!!!

Yeeaaahhhhh..........PASS.....................

Just caved in and ordered this bad boy from Overdrive for $200 out the door with shipping. OUCH!!! oh well, It's only $$$...... can't wait to get it!!!
