VF-4 1/72 'Skull Squadron' and 'Max Special' - Double
Mommar replied to PetarB's topic in Model kits
I'm tempted to post a pic of that Max on Mr. K's twitter with a "hint hint" message to him. -
I thought even these VF-1 releases were made-to-order types this time around? Anything left on a shelf is purely cancelled pre-orders. Just to avoid this kind of crazy 75% off sale nonsense now?
-
If you don't have a Roy I'd say get him then. Though I do think the red with the S head is rather striking personally.
-
WB/Legendary really clamped down on that original teaser. I'm not sure it's anywhere anymore. I couldn't find it.

I keep coming back to this thread. That blue is soooooo sexy. -
The thing about the Roy release is that we've already seen Roy in Pure and off white. His scheme is no different between DYRL and SDFM. This is the first we've seen of the other DYRL schemes in pure white, not like it was hard to picture a red stripe instead of a yellow one, but it's good to actually see it and know they look decent. Bit of a bummer it won't sit well next to my other four DYRL's but I can live with it. Unfortunately there's no daylight when I'm home from work anymore so pics won't turn out so hot (unless it shows up before the weekend, which I have no faith in with EMS.) However, I plan to take pics of EVERY valk on that stand just to see how it works out with all of them.
-
None of that made sense to me but I want my 1S now.
-
You know what, I wasn't sure what to make of the DYRL Valks all in white but I really like the way that 1S looks. Arcadia might've just convinced me to rebuy my other four DYRL Valks (Max 1S and all three 1A's)...
-
I think it does. I'm not "hardcore collector" enough to pay 1K for any of these toys. But somebody here is, and they did for those 1/55's (which I cannot personally fathom.) To be fair, he said hardcore collector versus hardcore fan. Those two things are mutually exclusive.
-
The TV White with the Red Stripe looks good. I do have a question, didn't the Roy release have a flip-top box? I'm asking because, especially for this release, removing the shopped Valk would look REALLY good if all you had to do was flip the lid to see the actual thing. I think the issue here is that Bandai takes the time to design the box around incorporating the actual toy image with the rest of the design whereas here it's more like they designed a box then duct-taped a toy image onto it.
-
It sucks that some of you can't afford it, but just because you personally can't doesn't mean it's "out of reach for collectors." The fact some of us keep buying means it isn't out of reach, like it or not. I would say that largely Macross is out of reach of collectors due more to Harmony Gold then any price barrier.
-
That's a pretty brilliant way to display the armor. Also, is that the Sh Figuarts War Machine?

I want a transforming 4G in that Max scheme so bad!!!! -
Please do. Thanks.
-
Did he have a family or anything? Is there a fund we could donate to help existing relatives or something?
-
My plan was to get the Hikaru 1S and try out the stand with every single Valk Yamato has released and report back here how it works for all of them.
-
Holy crap Typev! You're going to have to buy one of everything now because I've designated you the official photographer for EVERYTHING.
-
Wow, great pics!
-
My Yf-19 will be combating the dreaded "house cat."

Or Gerwalk....

Around Christmas time last year LA customs slowed to a ridiculous crawl. I had to wait two weeks for one of my VF-4's. And they only shipped after I dug up the phone numbers for customs and cussed them out.
-
To be honest I notice the pilot difference more than the rest of that stuff.
-
Yeah, we seem to be bumping up against some different ideas about what fast packs do. In The First it's explained that the Valks aren't as maneuverable in space as the battlepods and they justify the fast packs as a way to add additional vectoring/speed. That doesn't mean they actually need fuel, but then some of the statistics in the books comment on propellant don't they? I had always assumed it was limitless even in the VF-1 until I came across this board and heard about additional propellants (which I understand is a real world thing.)
-
Why does it have to take a moment to crap on the old movie? It just needs to be good.
-
I can't help but feel that some designs and decent special effects were wasted on one of the stupidest things I've ever seen. This looks like something you'd hear a nine year old talking about, "and wouldn't it be cool if.. and wouldn't it be cool if... and wouldn't this be cool..." just throwing a bunch of idiot crap together.
