I am keeping my preorder, as I have always wanted a VF-2SS and VF-2JA since I first saw Macross 2. I wonder if the person doing the photos didn't know how to transform correctly, but the lack of dynamic poses suggests that maybe they didn't. Does this toy or the design in general allow for the gun pod to be stored underneath in fighter mode, if so, I cannot see it. Hope the final form is great, as I really want to see the SAP pack and a VF-2JA. Twich

I wasn't the one who moved it here. So....? My original post was moved here from main board, perhaps a PM to me first instead of the threat? Anyways.... Twich

Okay, I have a Yamato: SV-51Alpha, YF-19 Bird of Prey. Bandai: VF-25F Alto DX. None of these have boxes, the VF-22S does not have gun pods or stand attachment pieces, just the toy, the others have appropriate accessories. Some have been panel lined by me. Issues: SV-51Alpha- half panel lined with Gundam marker, RT canard bent from trip to floor, main gear wheels glued to post(they kept falling off) VF-22S Sturmvogel II- SOLD So, what would be a reasonable price to ask for whole kit and kaboodle? Please let me know what you think. Would like to get rid of all together. Twich

Sorry, may not have implied clearly. Bandai does not have license for Macross Zero, for the SV-51 I was referring to, since Arcadia is actively producing toys from Macross Zero. I know that they were fan-made but some of the it was are very cool. One can hope and wish, I guess. Twich

I would like to see a YF-21 or VF-22S Sturmvogel II. I know they wouldnt cause Arcadia has the license, but an SV-51 with tight joints and lots of Tampo! Also maybe some of the fast pack choices for VF-22S that we see in the Master variable fighter books Twich

Just received a Bandai VF-19 Advanced, pretty amazed by this Valkyrie. Twich -
I just received mine. I transformed it once to make sure that it didnt disintegrate like the nosecone on my Renewal VF-27y Fast Pack did. I like the way that they simplified the shoulders on these renewal YF/VF-25's! I have a version 1 VF-25F, and the thing is cracking all over the place, but hasnt fallen apart yet, the new age of the chunky monkey! Anyways, I am very pleased with my YF-25 Prophecy and it looks very nice next to my VF-27y. just a question, I replaced the rubbery/bendy antenna's with the hard plastic antenna's that came in the stand box. Does anyone else have a problem getting them to sit flush on the back of the valk in jet mode? Any suggestions? Thanks! Twich

I would wish for the ability to have and operate a VF-27y with a suitable landing field and facilities to support a real valkyrie. Also, I would want it painted in the YF-27-5 Shatar femail scheme with optical camp. I also would like the redesign of the gunpod that made it much shorter, but with the same power. I hate the length of the gunpod so much that I took the two little lengths off of my toy and now the toy sports a "shorty" gun pod. Twich

I'm on the other side of Washington state, are there places in Seattle where you can get Macross related items? My YF-25 is on its way from Japan! I can't wait! Twich

Just got a shipping notification for this from NY
-
to add my opinion into the mix, I have a very poor outlook on NY right now, but they were the only company I could get my YF-25 preorder through. I ordered a VF-27 Renewal and the jet stayed in fighter for 2 weeks before I tried to transform, well the first time I tried it, the nosecone came off because the plastic had crumbled/cracked at the joint. I contacted NY about this, and they said that since it was out of the 7 day window of receiving the toy, Bandai would not allow them to do anything, basically blaming Bandai for them not wanting to do anything. It left a real bad taste in my mouth, but I had already pre-ordered the YF-25 and I would really like the jet, so I hope that they dont screw me. But, I have yet to receive shipping notice and some on this board already have this valk in their hands, so my prospects are looking grim. twich

Thank You, I actually have the toy myself, but I was looking for an image that I can then print, because I was looking to turn it into a tattoo, So the more high quality and CGI-like that I can make it, the easier it will be to transfer it to a transfer sheet to be tattoo'd onto my leg. Thanks! Twich

Hello, I did a search, didn't find it, so.... I'm looking for a high resolution image for the VF-27 Super Parts in Battroid. Can anyone help me with this? I would prefer high res CGI, but high quality fan made is cool too! Thank You

I have no skill in it, but I could try
-
We'll Nippon-Yasan, where I bought it said they won't even try, since I didn't discover it was broken until after 7 days from receipt of item. And that this is Bandai's policy. So I have a VF-27y with broken off nose cone and no way to try to get it fixed....lovely. Twich
-
I picked one up a few weeks ago, but only tried to transform it tonight for the first time and discovered that the whole nosecone attachment is cracked on both sides and the nose cone fell right off when I tried to fold it into the front landing gear bay doors for the first time. I bought it from Nippon-Yasan, and just submitted a ticket....but was this a common problem? I am pissed because I havent gotten a macross jet from bandai since the v1 VF-25F and was happy with it, but comparing it to the v2, it is obviously the lesser of the 2 designs. I am hoping they send me a replacement part or something where I dont have to repack the jet and send it back to Japan. Needless to say I am very upset and a little disappointed. Twich

how bout a 1/48 scale SV-51 line with VF-0 line to go with it? image the size of that SV-51? twich
-
I would like to have a new/new mold of 1) VF-0D 2) YF-21 with non floppy wings, no gaps and landing gear that lock into place 3) SV-51 line with stiff joints and non-floppy shoulders/arms and have the rudders lock into position so that it doesnt look like some kind of crazy wing-knife thingy when it flops down over the hands twich

I didn't think of it that way. Also I personally like the look of the VF-171. I don't really like the fighter mode look of the VF-17 as much. thanks azreal

Okay, so I was looking at Macross Mecha manual then Macross compendium and both sites list the VF-171/VF-171EX as have either 2 sets of laser weapons(VF-171) or laser/ 30mm heavy machine gun, but if I recall, doesn't the VF-17 have the dual barrel arm lasers, the chest cannon lasers, then the head turret lasers. Both versions of the VF-171 seem to have all the same weapons as well, but only two sets of weapons listed. I searched on the forum and couldn't find the answer. Did the VF-171's lose a set of weapons? Or are they just not listed? I am kinds confused. I think it would suck if the VF-171 lost those arm lasers but kept everything else weapons wise to make it a heavy battroid just like the VF-17. Can anyone shed some light? Thanks Twich

I too would love to have a renewal VF-0 and SV-51 designed from the ground up again by Yamato. I have owned a VF-0S and tried to transform it and got so frustrated by it that I traded it for a Masterpiece Starscream, despite all the design flaws with that design. Now, I am kicking myself for that decision and look fondly at my SV-51Alpha toy sitting on its stand in fighter mode. As much as I love the design, I just cannot stand the floppiness of it in either GERWALK or Battroid modes that I feel I need to keep it in fighter. I wish that they made a new mold for these and my limited Macross toy money would definately go towards a new version of both of these. Twich

I wonder that when they finally do release the VF-19P will they give it the GU-15 gunpod? Twich
-
So do we have any new information for the release of the Yamato VF-19F/P variants? Have they been shelved? Thanks Twich
-
I really hope that they do decide to sell a Luca RVF-171EX and a regular cannon fodder VF-171, as I am sure that they would sell like hotcakes! I also hope that they decide to finish the renewal VF-25 series and give us a VF-25G, RVF-25 and VF-25A. Twich

My wife really likes the looks of the Alto Custom DX toy, she has nicknamed it "Arnie" after Arnold Schwartzeneggar. When I showed her a pic of theVF-171 teal/blue one, she said she really liked it and that it also reminded her of Arnie! Twich
