I'm seriously considering the Hi-Metal line to fill out my VF-1 Collection, seeing as they seem far more available than the 1/60th toys. I'd love to have A GBP VF-1 set, but arcadia's is darn near $300 now, and will probably only keep rising.

$300, Yikes! Where did you find that price for the GBP set, Ebay? You can find the set starting at $182-ish plus shipping here (As of 0237 it's still open) and some other stores.

As for the availability, I hope more orders open up on release because the Bandai preorder madness ain't cutting it for me.

There's also another unknown valk shown in frontier movie 2, at the beginning of the movie, in the commercial mall there are 2 commercials running on the background TVs. In one of these a valk is shown with pink accents if I remember well. Don't know which one it is...

Is that the fold crystal headed VF-25ish valk? I call it that as it has a red head and antenna that looks like the fold crystal jewelry.It also reminds me of an Aquarion -ish head. The wing roots look a little different. Scratch that, it was Valk #2 below.

There are a couple more vf-25 repaints they can milk from the 2nd movie if they wanted to:

1. A yellow colored valk with pink stars with silver glitter borders

2. A white/blue and pink/red highlights valk with supers itasha style (angel birds version?)

3. An all black version

4. The YF-24 of course

Jefuemon, is that the correct link? That link points to a Hong Kong recast on YJA. Is this the one you're referring to? Thanks.

I hope they figure out a way to hide that angled die cast leg bars under the fuselage and shoulders, or maybe the one displayed at WonderFest was not transformed correctly.

Haha! Merge the thread titles together. Yours is way better. Don't know any japanese and all I saw was Cosmo Fleet Special so I thought it was a generic name. Didn't realize it was the product line as I have never collected this series. Hopefully they release the arms later on.

Hey Guys i need your help what do you think of chances of a Renewal version for this Valkyrie. I've never heard of evolution toys Do they Re-release a lot of toys over the years in past history making small improvements?

It all depends on how the sales of this valk goes I guess. This being a company new into the Macross line, I think that if the sales are good then yes you might see small improvements to the next model. As for renewals it's too early to tell, I say that they won't do a renewal version. Take a look at their product lineup if you're curious http://evolution-toy.com/products/index.html

Yeah i guess so.. but you'd also have up swap out the vertical stabilizer assembly too. But would the 0D cockpit section actually be any wider than the 0A?

I don't think it would be wider. I know it's narrower than the Yamato ones. Pretty easy disassembly on the Arcadia.

You mean for the VF-1? I can't image people wanting to mess with any other 1/60 valk other than the abundant VF-1? From my Google-Fu (don't know a lot about MtR), is it just the head unit and leg armor for the VF-1X++?

For the 1/60 version just the leg parts and head. As was mentioned above, there is a modification to the wings to allow it to pivot VF-25 style and hip socket mod to allow a wider stance and the shorter tailfins.

From what I saw the 1/72 version has the nose piece, wing armor piece , wider wings, shorter tailfins, different leg boosters and foot mod.

Maybe there was 2 different versions of the VF-1X++ Like an original and revised one?

I'd say Rod's one. The colors and crotch piece reminds me of a Decepticon symbol lol.

Love those pics Saburo, so sinister looking!

If they're making Mylene's bass and releasing that in December, might as well make her valk for next year too.

Can't see the pic. I may have to search this now. Need to see real world thrust vectoring awesomeness!

This it?

Strange, I can see it on my phone but not on my laptop.

Here is the pic I saw on my phone:

Another one:

What's the hole in the back of the legs for? Looking forward to this one. Maybe gotta get 2.

Forgive me if this is old pics and image quality sucks, I couldn't figure out how to download it.

Any info on this? Mods please move thread if needed.

Maybe they'll release a ghost set after the CF 0A. Dammit now I gotta get x2 0S,

I would cry if it said WF exclusive. Gotta start cranking more OT for this December!

Maybe it's just different interpretations of the word decal. When I see decal I think waterslide and not the sticker sheet that they include in the box but others may think of the stickers included as vinyl cut decals. It's moot for me as it stays in the wrap under the box.

Can't wait to see the 0A and 0S on display at Wonderfest!

Like Mechapilot said, it's good to see your pics here again. Always liking your knife shots.

I like how there's no full leg shots. Keep us guessing if they're keeping the blues.

That's pretty awesome that you could do that!

Nice display, except One of these things is not like the others.

*snip*

Nice custom!

Check the 1st page in the thread. Not the finished model but there are prototype pics and not just CAD designs. There's also a displayed proto fighter pic somewhere in here. Looks like the same proto pics but in horrible edited colors.

Hopefully it doesn't get cancelled. It seems a lot of people have been waiting for a 1/60 version for awhile.

Thanks for sharing, Jason! I hope it brings in more buyers!

I just saw the Lancer box art and I must say you are on a roll! I like that safety orange color.
