Bandai 1/72 fully transform able VF-1 plastic kit for Macross 30th Ann

I don't think there will be supply shortages of these kits. Don't feel the need to preorder as if it was a DX chogokin -
My New fav valk
-
I'm going to steal the custom ones I made off my 25G and put them on my new Grey 25F
-
That's just the flash, I only touched the red parts of the Alto The 25A head is the same as the 25G head according to the master file. See attached scan I really like the look of the C and the E type

Detolfs are 42.3 kg, or 93 lb! when I bought 3 at once I thought I was a freaking weakling because I couldn't move them easily, but then I realized they weighed almost 100 lb and have a slim box made of slippery cardboard which has NO good gripping points. If I hadn't put my dolly in my trunk I would've been dead meat when I bought 3 at once from Ikea. when I got home I carried them in parts upstairs and put them into my man-cave / office. Assembly is really easy and after you built one the others come together like 10x faster. They look great for the price. Of course if you can afford better you can get some even more kickass curios like Kicker has

People will kill me for doing this, but I changed my spare 25F to have Grey Accents :0 Stil haven't done the shield yet. Super tiny line is a PITA to paint. I always used this paint scheme in the PSP games, would have done it in Macross 30 but nooooo... plaid valks apparently are in style

Bandai has gotten a lot better at doing space fighter kits. Just look at their Cosmo Zero Alpha from Yamato 2199. The thing has just one seam line between the top and bottom of the fuselage and the only thing that needs painting is the Canopy (but of course proper paint makes it look 10000x better) When I built mine I could not believe how perfectly the thing went together. Even the Machine-gun ports on the bottom of the fighter and the large cannon in front have proper grey coloring, and this is in 1/72.... the thing is tiny. If Bandai upscaled this to 1/48 I'd probably buy too many for my own good. -
As said before, your pilot is too rigid and upright. Tiny planes like the VF-1 are def possible, Just look at a real-life example of a tiny fighter plane, the F-5 TIger 2. Thing was so tiny it could be shipped in crates. The F-5 would be a more comparable plane size-wise to the VF-1. The VF-1 is supposed to be tiny because it uses fictional alien tech and fictional fusion turbines as opposed to conventional engines like the much larger VF-0. The Hasegawa kit manages to place the cockpit tub on top of the wheel well and fir a full-sized pilot fig. It was not much different from other 1/72 Hase Kits I've built.

It's a model プラキット (playmodel kit) The pic is small and blurry so I can barely make it out, but in the company section it says ハセガワ - Hasegawa Nuff said

Surprised nobody else tried this
-
Omg...pleasant surprise today. Anime export pulled through and got me my alto packs for 56 dollars they arrived today and the wrapping is the same level as NY

O....M....G..... And who said Bandai hates Macross? -
I bought all 3 VF-22's, not because Yamato closed but because I fell *back* in love with the VF-22 while playing Macross 30 actually the 1st 1/60 yammies I ever bought (stubborn 1/48 lover )

Gawk at these piles of Macross toys..Back in the day...
Duymon replied to VALKYRIE-EXCHANGE.COM's topic in Toys
Yeah, I miss the old days of Valk Exchange. Also miss Jerry's Vf1x.com as well :0 -
YF-21 Fastpacks are shared with the VF-22. YOu get them in a race in the 1st zone. It's a pain in the ass because you're going to double tap and boost yourself off the flight path and throw your controller out the window several times
-
So..... I was Playing Macross 30 and on the VF-171 EX the armored bra does indeed launch missiles. It's been this way in Every artdink game that's had the Armored 171 EX> Was this artistic license or did Bandai just cheap out and make the VF-171 armored packs not as high spec as the renewals?
-
Ikea Cabinets are the only affordable decent-looking curios out there. When a curio cabinet goes over 100-150 people will be like "but that's another valk......"
-
NO clue if this is news or not but there's a Macross 30 Novel coming out on 03/30 according to Dengeki Hobby http://hobby.dengeki.com/20130227/3695-news/
-
I guess we'll see if HF pulls through at the end of June or not. Have Preorders elsewhere so I'm not really concerned.
-
I definitely prefer the look of the YF-30 to the VF-25. The transformation in Macross 30 looks really cool too, keeping the pilot upright the whole time like in the VF-4. I hope this is a web exclusive so that I can order multiples, one for each mode
-
Pure Awesome. All we need now is to have this sucker put into a nice photo booth for some pro-shots
-
Actually this isn't the case. Just like in the other artdink games the more advanced valks are more powerful even when maxxed out. VF-1 main gun maxxes out around 1500-ish while the vf-22 hits around 1300, but the VF-22 fires at about double the ROF for mad DPS on a totally unrelated note.... I think the one thing that nearly gets me killed more than anything is trying to pick up all the blue loot in the middle of battle before it disappears
-
So guys, what do you think the best valkyrie is? In terms of easy to play, believe it or not anything based off the YF-21 chassis is totally overpowered due to having dual Main-guns with a very high rate of fire. Ever since switching to it from the Macross frontier valks, even ultimate mode feels like a joke lol.

Started playing on Ultimate for my second playthrough. The aces get uber buffed but nothing really crazy to be honest.....
