make your own!!!

yup....looks EXACTLY like my $25 1/100 toynami...but bigger.

Okay, toynami just made a 1/100 toy regult for $25 that people are happy with. Why the heck can't yamato do a 1/60 version of that for under $100?

My first valk was a 1/48 VF-1A CF. Although it's a thing of beauty...I wish I had gotten a hikaru 1J or something. But I've never looked back. I also love my revoltechs. Totally sweet. My next was a VF-1J...version 1. I bought it by mistake thinking it was a V2. I TOTALLY regret getting that. IMagine the horror when I tried to transform it and the legs fell off. THEN, I got a roy fokker broken arm special. Again, buyers remorse (which stings even more now that the TV versions are coming out. But I have made up for it with my Vf-1a max tv. It totally makes up for the roy. Amazing.

here are a few of my friends....

Hlj had them at a great price recently. But they're sold out. I was never a big max fan, but this is a seriously beautiful valk.

what is this alternate wings thing about?

the reason we're comparing this to the 1/60 is because it's an achievement. It looks good. Really good. The 1/60, looks like a ballet dancer (although accurate). The position of the head makes it look almost human. This looks badass. The placement of the shoulders and head gives it more of an animation look to it. There's a tone that's turning people to this. And as I've said before, if this became a complete line, along with some enemy mecha and destroids, this could be the new monopoly Lineart accurate is always more subjective than we think.

anyone know why there is spoken english in the background noises of DYRL? isn't that odd?

robotech did only two things right. Only two. -the voice actors/direction -having a new song for the climactic battle scene but the ADV dub kills me. They're all so annoying and over the top. I HATE Misa and Roy.

okay...I just transformed it back into fighter for the first time. As beautiful as these things are, I can't believe how much harder they are to transform compared to my 1/48. I ended up taking the whole cockpit fuselage off!

If these thing are actually as sweet as they look, this would be a great line to actually support with some enemy mecha...tv green Q-rau anyone?

no..total after shipping was $82. Still a great deal. They seem to be on deal rotation...and I'm watching like a hawk. There was also a deal for a vf-1j hikaru but I'm waiting 'til they have better shoulders and crotches. Angloz has a 1/48 vf-1j for $97 which is a pretty good deal, too. Anyway...back to the topic. I WANT A TV ROY!!!

the max tv version. It's beautiful. Okay, I just looked. After shipping and exchange, it came to $82 canadian. That's a crazy deal. If only Kakazaki would come down a bit. All I've wanted is a vermillion squad. But unfortunately, I accidentally bought a V1 hikaru off of e-bay and my roy is a broken shoulder special. (I've never been able to transform either)

gotcha. I'm in canada so stuff coming from he US has shipping as well as duty. And I never seem to pay duty from HLJ (where I just got a 1/60 vf-1a for like $75 total)

Jeeze, I just checked out that site. It's crazy expensive. Angloz, overdrive, amiami, and hlj alway seem to have some good deals, but that place was preicy across the board.

I definitely mean a Valkyrie jetfire. But I would also LOVE a G1 masterpiece cartoon jetfire

I totally agree. I would love to see a valk in an a-10 thunderbolt style.

honestly? Even though I love the DYRL flick, the tv mecha is the only mecha for me.... Which is why I'm so bummed about this tv roy coming out after I bought a DYRL broken shoulder special.....

why do I have the feeling that they will never resolve last weeks episode.

Anyone know where I can find myself a jetfire? Did anyone ever re-release it?

well...this sucks. I might have to get this one too..... Mind you, he'll probably have fixed shoulders!

No, I didn't mean that you were being harsh. I meant to say that removing this thread would be harsh. Jetfire is still a valk toy. Just rebranded. It's not like this is some official industry forum. It's for fans.

That is beautiful.
