Thank you, that's exactly how I feel. No. Don't screw with the cannon colors. -Kyp

Maybe Graham can pass along to Yamato to go easy on the DYRL valks for a while and give the TV valks the attention they deserve? -Kyp

You and me both, let's give DYRL a rest for a while and give the TV valks some love! -Kyp

Thanks, now we have our release date, more or less! -Kyp

Namely, this text here : Even if it's just bablefish, I'll take it. -Kyp

I know on one of the page scans it said 2008, but we need someone to translate the rest to know when. -Kyp

Any updates on this? -Kyp

There's usually a spanking going on...in Eugimon's Omega Pants™. There, I did it for you. -Kyp

I think on every third release, they should make a two seat variation until they are all out to keep things interesting. -Kyp

There's always a party going on...in Eugimon's Omega Pants™. -Kyp

LMAO...I see market failure written all over this. -Kyp

I think for maximum hilarity, we should add "in Eugimon's Omega Pants" at the end of every one sentence post in this thread. -Kyp

I seriously doubt that the new 1/60's will be over $100 by much, if any without fast packs. Until I see something definite to prove otherwise, I plan on getting these. The ONLY thing that I see that I hope they change is that dip in the side profile of the canopy. Otherwise, it all looks great to me. -Kyp

They shipped out my VF-0S/Ghost the very next day. -Kyp

Well, it was all in one big box, just separate, lol. I think they did that because they didn't have anymore gift sets. Which is fine, since it is a second release. My experience was fantastic, they shipped it out the day after I paid via paypal. I'd give them 5 stars. And my flexi stand from LOS came at the same time which was perfect, lol. -Kyp

I got it from HoHoHo Toys on Ebay. Yes, this is the second edition, so it's OK. No, there are no outside box identifiers. The only way to know is do what I did and check to see if the feet have the locking mechanism. If they do, it's a second edition. If not...then you've been hosed. I was expecting the VF-0S/Ghost booster pack, but since they did indeed give me a second edition VF-0S, I'm not mad at all. I just wish they made it clearer in their Ebay ad. The shoulders are fine, I checked them. Like I said this IS THE SECOND EDITION, they are apparently now out in singles again. -Kyp

OK...it came in today. I thought, "YES!!! It came, now to see the improvements" NOT. For one thing, this was a VF-0S and Ghost in separate boxes! Second, I pull the fighter out and sure enough, it had the floppy fuselage...not a happy camper at this point to say the least. But I calmed myself and checked for the easiest identifier as to whether or not this was the first or second release : The locking mechanism for the feet. Sure enough, this one had the locking feet, so it is definitely the second release meaning they are now out in singles. I went through the whole transformation to check the shoulders. They are fine, and tight, but not too tight. Much better than the first edition, that's for damned sure! OK, so I go to put this thing back together and lo and behold...the fuselage didn't droop at all and is in there snug!! YAY!!!!!!!! The only thing I can think of is that they didn't put it back in fighter mode very good and make sure that everything is locked in place like it should be. So in short, all's well that ends well. And if anyone does get a second edition (Look to see if the feet lock in place) and the fuselage is droopy. take it all the way to battroid and back and make sure that everything is in place!! You may just find like I did that they didn't have everything properly in place and clicked in good at the factory. I give this thing a perfect 100% score. In fact, the fighter mode is in every way, shape, and form as tight as the 1/48 Hikaru 1J and seems to be just as well made! I. kid. you. not. Best $$$ I've ever spent on a Yamato up there with when I first bought the 1/48. I swear, I'm so Goddamn happy, I could almost cry. -Kyp

I'd love it if someone were to later recast the canopy for those of us who'd like a pseudo VF-22 custom. And no detachable parts, please...I'd like to keep any potential QC issues to a minimum kthnx. -Kyp

Well, this should be here either tomorrow or Monday. I will post a full review here when I get my hands on it. I've had the 1st version, so I know what to look for. Oh GOD, please let this thing be worth the $200+ I paid for it! -Kyp

More fun overall than the 1/60 Yamato YF-21? Well, if you like it, I'm happy for you. -Kyp

Yes, that's the spirit!! W00T!! Skull Leader's Lackey...about time, I was getting sick of scrubbing Valkyrie heat shields! -Kyp

That's because it has it's own built in whiplash neck brace. -Kyp

I vote that the next user to post pics of Zardoz again be banned from the forums for life. -Kyp

The ad in the scan was translated saying that the price point was 10,000 Yen which is about $87 and some change in USD. For $100 shipped without fast packs, I would be willing to pay $120-$130 shipped w/FP. I'm hoping they will offer TV fast packs separate this time around, I would definitely buy them. -Kyp

That Dstance looks like poo, I'll take the Yamato 1/60 all day long. To me, the Dstance is much less accurate overall than the Yamato (Especially with that ridiculously long fuselage.) and the 1/60 is looking like one of the very best Yamato offerings to date. If you don't like it, fine, don't buy it...more for us! -Kyp
