i love and hate them. love them for the all glass look and protection. hate that they are space inefficient for out types of collections. i want W I D E cabinets. you can display so much more that way (and no i don't like the dual detolf mod as the metal bars in the middle annoy the every living heck out of me).

wait...this is sdfm max never had a Queadluun in that...only dyrl ....if i'm recalling correctly. We need a TV Q, not the dyrl one! the frontier robot spirits q-rau is close enough for the dyrl one. :-P
-
this thing simply looks awesome IMO
-
doesnt work for me.
-
dang it looks good...but dat price. is it me or is it even higher than the 0d? cmon preorder discounts...please be more substantial! should i just skip and wait for the 0S? also who knows if this will be close the final colors, the 0D's first colored photos were not even close. i guess at this point i'm a fan of the valks more than the anime (for zero) so as long as it looks great i want it. hmm 20% discount. looks like it will be about $300 usd with shipping. wonder how much hlj's will be.

missed again....gah.
-
dammit..totally forgot it was already the 7th last night in japan. why is it so hard to give bandai money for things i want.
-
i like the small box as well and it does hav a permium feel to it anyway...the shiny lettering etc. i was surprised but pleased. i only wish the vader figure was as much bigger than the trooper as the box was to the trooper's box.

Evolution Toy - VF-2SS Valkyrie I 《MACROSS II ~LOVERS AGAIN~
Mechapilot77 replied to joppewo's topic in Toys
yup...double jointed elbow always helps a lot! also the legs look very yamato v1 vf-1. its like they didn't even try to match the look of the vf-2's legs. hoping they improve a lot before release. -
man that first 1J head is pretty sweet.
-
dammit, i stop following this thread for a couple of days and completley missed that preorder day was last night?! wtf. seems like tons of people got 1 or 2 of the armored valk. is tha tthe only one that went up for preorder? any of the other ones have preorder dates yet. i pretty much want this whole line. someone PM me next time lol
-
he is a great voice actor. his joker in the 90s was great too
-
color me excited! a fairly big name to boot. hopefully this gets off the ground. even if it doesn't turn out to be what we always wanted i think it will still be good and fun and over the top without the michael bay style designs bad.
-
please lets hope there is no preorder madeness! i mean bandai makes TONS of popular stuff without preorder madness. let's hope this is one of them. i relaly feel like i "need" everything in this line.
-
when that comes out i can FINALLY do a hikaru vs. kamjin scene/shot. i think that was one of the coolest "duels" in sdfm. right up there with breetai vs. the vermillion....which reminds me...when we gonnna get some 1/100 zentrans?
-
god i need that glaug. personally i wish someone would d a 1/60 one (heck a well done vinyl will do!!), but this small size could be good for a mini diaroma as they have shown (well that is a full size one). i think i'm gonna jump "all in" on this line. the naked 1j posted above (think i saw it on cybergundam too?) looks as if its leg assembly isn't full tabbed in. the nosecone as per usual (other than yamarcadia v2) is too low as well. still...if bandai is doign to give us a nice line with enemy mecha...i'm happy.
-
lol that is kinda infuriating and hilarious at the same time. i cannot understand why they aren't doing the grey goggles for the life of me. it just looks WRONG fo the gbp 1j to not have it. i'm happy i have the original grey google gbp bundle but still annoyed they are going to make me modify it. not that yamato hasn't had its share of coloring adn deco debacles but so far yamato >> arcadia.
-
agree, its not like the old hi metal was bad but that new fighter is just....nice. the panel lines are deeper, scuplting is way more sharp.
-
gotta say i like this a lot. i think i will pick it up. yamato's gbp is one of my fav all time toys. bandai's proportions are off in some areas i think but still looks very good and is possibly more dynamic and seems to be easier to handle an dmore toyetic (total guess on that last part). The odd oversized head (which to be fair does mimc certain scenes) which on a naked valk looks too big, looks great onthe gbp. all for under $100usd before shipping? sign me up. may have to get doubles. i really hope they don't mess up the regults in this line and also hope they will doa glaug down the line...yamato/arcadia is still my favorite line of toys but bandai has my attention with these little guys. oh and BIG points for grey visor and removable missiles.

The Transformers Thread (licensed) Next

unless my memory is broken G1 arcee in the movie/cartoons did have wheels and tires... -
while i somewhat agree, there is no excuse for charging nearly $180 for VF-1 reissues (no fast packs) where they've more than made the money back years ago. Where Yamato went wrong is they thought people loved M7 enough to pay $300 MSRP for a valk without being "built to order". Those larger M7 valks were the ones always on DEEP discount. Granted the less popular color schemes of the VF-1 did too (poor kakizaki gets not love) but by that point the money was already made on that mold. There is a reason takara tomy can release mp-10 in every color of the rainbow and sell out every run...its a popular character and design. Yamato clearly behaved liked they could do the same with any valk when its basically only true for the VF-1 (and arguably the vf-0 and yf-19 and its no coincidence these were the ones arcadia worked on). so in conclusion, low demand valks should be high priced and built to order. high demand valks should be priced competitively and reissued and released every so often as a cash cow.

i think the horrible casting of both leads is going to make this a stinkbomb.
