now that looks kinda cool. Any more pictures in other poses, Mog?

If youre planning to buy an alpha, I would suggest you to wait, accumulate more cash and buy yourself a 1/48 instead. Probably, if you want, you can get an alpha but only after you have enough of Yamato stuff. I mean, why get a mediocre product when more superior products are readily available. I suggest you get these in the following order : -1/48 VF-1 (anything, Low Vis, Vf-1S, VF-1J, VF-1A, Stealth etc.) -1/48 Strike packs (or you can buy em bundled with your valk ala stealth these have really nice details in em) -1/48 GBP-1S - this thing rocks!.....if stickered IMHO, but still, the details are comparable and suit the 1/48s and only the 1/48s!! -1/60 VF-0....man this thing is the one of a kind of all yamato products esp the VF-0S. Although VF-0S has less improvements than its younger brother, the VF-0A, the valk has the most tampo printings compared to all other yamato releases... -1/100 Koenig monster (they make great display *pieces though theyre not too play-able) -Yamato Stand (at least 1 to display the ever sexy VF-0S...man that bird is a beaut!) - Whatever other Yamato releases that are available (Quaedluunrau etc, they're now half the price they were two years ago!) Once youre tired of all these good stuff, you can pick whatever 'leftovers' that are left just for fun (1/60 VF-1, MPC & whutever!) Just my 2 cents. That's the way I would go if I can rewind time aaajin *updated

As I looked again onto the pictures, I became aware of another two features The grey markings on the top side of the fuselage in fighter mode that make the back of the hips in battroid mode are now present, unlike in the previous prototype pictures. Graham, can you confirm whether those are tampo-ed on the toy or are those stickers? Since both arms have that small grooves that let the nub at the back of the shield to fit in, Im assuming that the shield can be mounted in either arms. Is that right? Just sharing my observation. aaajin

I would buy this if it was $ 35 after shipping...

Is that really what Im seeing? a rotatable cockpit panel? nice...

just like the VF-0S....why didnt they just continue to tampo print the damn thing....urgh

I guess the A-stance is not a problem as the hips can move outward. see attached picture

we are in desperate need of some news here....now, this makes me think, where are the photoshop masters? anyone wants to recolor the preproduction photos with VF-19A color scheme? angel birdiess?

what? you dont own one? get the 1A Max Im selling (see signature) ~! j/k keep it cool bro.

scrape it off using some xacto knife. that'll do it

wait, isnt theres a thread about this valk in toy form somewhere in the board...."auction of great absurdity"? I remember seeing this korean ripoff toy somewhere here...

Ill wait for reviews first...but most prolly will not jump on the bandwagon. space cruisers just dont appeal to me like fighter jets do...

ouww...that looks..stealthy... I wont worry too much about the variations...we all know Yamato will milk the molds..YF-19 is a perfect candidate to bring up crazy ideas on valk variations...anyone wants camo low vis II YF-19?

my sentiment exactly. why no love (hence no thread) for the 11b? Anyways, both are cool looking fighters

you guys sure this will come out before the vf 11b?

I guess Ill have to say this... areaseven, what do u think ur doin? running amok in this thread just because someone else quoted large images? grow up man...sigh ok, back on topic..

cut them? I wouldnt dare doing that since these stands dont come cheap nowadays...

When I got the stand, (which are already blurry as in the picures ), I tried to wash the blur out using water. Being unsuccessful on my first attempt, I tried using the green sponge , the one used to scratch tough stains, and guess what...the base become even more blurry than ever!. Luckily I didnt scratch all the other parts as well.... I also realized that the blur are somekind of an oxidation on the surfaces of the arcylics which can be removed by abrading the surfaces with cloth, which I tried on the rods and the small round plate. now, my rods and plate are sitting in the box, waiting for the base to be masked with clear coating tomorrow morning....wish me luck!...

guys...I think I need help here... It turns out that one of the stand that I traded for my Yamato stand isnt as nice as I expected them to be. The supposedly transparent stand are smudgy on almost every surface of the stand...even on the rod ! ... (see attached pic).. has anyone encounter this problem before? Will dipping in future floor polish help? like WM chen did with the canopy? & thanks in advance for any help.

how's the stability of these stands? are they able to hold the valk without toppling em over when an earthquake with the degree of 3.0 scalar richter happens? just kiddin. anyway, are those rubber tips at the end of the rods tack enough to hold the valks without sliding em off of the tips? Im getting mine prollly in 2 day's time...just cant wait to pose my LV II with it. Now Im regretting letting go one of my VF-0S's...would have been nice if I can display one in fighter mode using flexi display and the other in battroid mode next to it....

http://www.macrossworld.com/mwf/index.php?...st&id=37330 I guess, based on the picture above (on the link), the Macross is a lil bit smaller than the wave's VF-0S kit (excluding the main guns)...that just turns me off

All I can imagine when I looked on that picture is "chirp, chirp, chirp"

Well, Im feeling abit surprised with the quality of this toy given that it comes from a toy company I hated so much before for their lousy alphas and vaporware betas (which they deliberately use as a catalyst to gain more sales of their lousy products) Anyways, I am satisfied with my purchase, given that I bought it for less than 20 bucks. If I were to spend more than 20 bucks for this toy, I wouldnt be as happy as I am right now. Its a fact, Im not here to calumniate this toy company nor do I want to aggrandize em. This toy is decent, for the cheap price I got it. Anyways, onto the pics with comparison to the 1/100 Koenig Monster Battroid mode ! : Sorry, some of the pics are a bit blurry...guess its time to fetch a tripod aaajin

I guess the tailfins have to be moved "upwards" if you want the toy to be able to stand properly. Else the fins are going to touch the ground. aaajin

Here are the pictures so that everyone wont have to go back to page ...? to view them. Also, sorry for the big pictures.. and let me guess...will the extra features be fixed pose hands?
