Kamineko Posted May 10, 2005 Posted May 10, 2005 Whee . . . I get to preorder it thru HLJ and hope for a shipping notification +3 months after it actually gets released . . . *crosses fingers for the other vendors to setup preorder* Quote
connor99 Posted May 10, 2005 Posted May 10, 2005 Oh, great! Now I'm gonna be in the same boat as those folks trying to track down a(n) FP for reasonable prices because of this . But hey, at least, we're all getting our much beloved 1/48 CF (I hope!) ! Quote
kensei Posted May 10, 2005 Posted May 10, 2005 This had better not be a joke or someone is going to get hurt. Otherwise, I quote Deekin: Huzzah! Now we just have to make sure Godizlla and Kensei don't buy all of them up! nicely said ! however ... I guess the tally of 65 and 69 will not stay very long Ahem..... Try again.... I will order 12! That will truly complete my collection!! Yes! I knew that waiting out would pay heaps! Now no need to customise, and no paint chipping during transformation! Quote
UN Spacy Posted May 10, 2005 Posted May 10, 2005 It's weird that HLJ was the first to bring us news about the CF 1/48's. How come we're always the last to know? Quote
kensei Posted May 10, 2005 Posted May 10, 2005 Confirmed as a TV or DYRL?? I'll bet my last dollar that it is a DYRL?. Quote
Gabe Q Posted May 10, 2005 Posted May 10, 2005 (edited) Confirmed as a TV or DYRL?? I'll bet my last dollar that it is a DYRL?. It doesn't matter what Yamato labels it as. I doubt they are going to sculpt a TV 1A head. So if the box says 'TV version', it'll still have the DYRL version head. Just like the 1/60 TV cannon fodder. It says right on the box 'TV version' but the valk has a DYRL head. Personally, despite the head issue, I hope they release it as a TV version so it comes with a TV pilot and hands. edit: typo Edited May 10, 2005 by Gabe Q Quote
Golden Arms Posted May 10, 2005 Posted May 10, 2005 This is great news. I doubt that it will be a TV version, but I wonder what color of uniform the pilot will come with? I bet the pilot will be draped in green or blue. Quote
valkyrie312 Posted May 10, 2005 Posted May 10, 2005 Sounds cool! Can't wait to see a pic (although we have seen Kurt's work, so I don't know if Yamato can live up to those standards)! Quote
Chowser Posted May 10, 2005 Posted May 10, 2005 Seems reasonable to believe a TV MAX is not far behind. :Dat I doubt that they will ever make this one, but it would be really nice if they did. I still demand Yamato to make a TV Max 1A!!!!!! I will buy the CF too just to have one. Can't wait for VE to put up preorders Quote
kensei Posted May 10, 2005 Posted May 10, 2005 damn.. everytime I think I'm done getting these things there's another one to get. I know. Noone cay say that Yamato is moving away from Macross. This is their main cashcow. Funny how when we think that the worst is about to happen then Yamato shines through. Quote
kensei Posted May 10, 2005 Posted May 10, 2005 The whole military vibe is getting to me...i WANT it!!!!!! Oh man...this truly the common man's valk...I want to customize the hell out of it with stickers!!Hopefully takatoys makes some custom squadron markings for this sucker. OoOoooo I hope that he can put individual names on them. I want my name on a CF dammit! And my girlfriend does too. Quote
Wicked Ace Posted May 10, 2005 Posted May 10, 2005 I'd like to thanks Jung and Kurt for making this happen... In addition, I'd like to thank Hayao Kaikzaki (or the four squares, on my screen) and everyone else that's done a CF custom. I hope Yamato really does this one, because I have the wallet ready. Quote
Radd Posted May 10, 2005 Posted May 10, 2005 Though I believe Gabe Q is quite right about the head issue, I'd rather they put out a DYRL Cannon fodder, with movie versions of the bigger, beefier hands. I just really prefere the DYRL? hand, pilot, and cockpit designs. I just had a thought, though. For those of us ill equipped to do a decent customizing job, this could be an excellent Valkyrie to use with the 2 seater parts, if Captain America could be convinced to do a run in cannon fodder colours.

snip312 Posted May 10, 2005 Posted May 10, 2005 NICE, very NICE.....good thing I got cash saved. Quote
Godzilla Posted May 10, 2005 Posted May 10, 2005 This had better not be a joke or someone is going to get hurt. Otherwise, I quote Deekin: Huzzah! Now we just have to make sure Godizlla and Kensei don't buy all of them up! nicely said ! however ... I guess the tally of 65 and 69 will not stay very long Ahem..... Try again.... I will order 12! That will truly complete my collection!! Yes! I knew that waiting out would pay heaps! Now no need to customise, and no paint chipping during transformation! Um no. Remember, to complete your collection requires us to have the 2 seaters, Kakazaki DRYL and TV, TV max, Angel Birds, Blue Roses, and the CF VF-1J. Quote
kensei Posted May 10, 2005 Posted May 10, 2005 CF VF-1J is just yuck. Angelbirds only. And I've never seen the Blue Roses in the series, so I'm not oligated to have them in my collection. Quote
Toonz Posted May 10, 2005 Posted May 10, 2005 (edited) i can't wait for it to arrive...its been macrossless recently...... will we see a brown box this time? Edited May 10, 2005 by Toonz Quote
Black Valkyrie Posted May 10, 2005 Posted May 10, 2005 Excellent, my favorite valky of all time Quote
aaajin Posted May 10, 2005 Posted May 10, 2005 If its DYRL?...think its gonna be black boxes again....but I wont mind black boxes....they look elegant eitherway, Im still gonna buy a bunch....If I have the $$...Im just a poor college kid...please donate aaajin Quote
BlueMax Posted May 10, 2005 Posted May 10, 2005 Damn This is good news! Hm.... it says on HLJ somewhere August... What about the GBP? Should it be before this.... tot I remember it said summer 2005 Quote
Black Valkyrie Posted May 10, 2005 Posted May 10, 2005 Damn This is good news!Hm.... it says on HLJ somewhere August... What about the GBP? Should it be before this.... tot I remember it said summer 2005 Or may be it does come with the GBP armor. Quote
Chuey Posted May 10, 2005 Posted May 10, 2005 Thank you. Talking about making a particular valkyrie that's a no brainer. I will be ordering one of these for sure. While I will always favor Focker's VF-1S, I have always had a soft spot for the brown VF-1As. Quote
ChristopherB Posted May 10, 2005 Posted May 10, 2005 This is definitely great news! I never imagined we would see additional 1/48 variations besides those already released or planned (GBP-1). Quote
Toonz Posted May 10, 2005 Posted May 10, 2005 we are on page 5 today and will probably be on page 110222 till august Quote
Valk-1S Posted May 10, 2005 Posted May 10, 2005 (edited) Pictures out at HLJ now. Also Hobby Search taking preorders but the weird thing they put it as Hobby Show Limitations Goods. Anyone know what this means. Forgot to put the link. http://www.1999.co.jp/asp/GoodsDetails_e.a...nce_right_e.asp Edited May 10, 2005 by Valk-1S Quote
Scream Man Posted May 10, 2005 Posted May 10, 2005 Doesnt look to bad at all. Might have to get one off valk exchange... Quote
1 VF-1 2NV Posted May 10, 2005 Posted May 10, 2005 we are on page 5 today and will probably be on page 110222 till august Page 5..I'm on 3 . Quote

zeo-mare Posted May 10, 2005 Posted May 10, 2005 wow the pics look great i am so looking forward to this. chris Quote
Jawjaw Posted May 10, 2005 Posted May 10, 2005 HELLSYEEAH!!! Looks awesome! I've been waiting for this one and it's very cool to see Yamato is not done with Macross yet. Quote
Anubis Posted May 10, 2005 Author Posted May 10, 2005 (edited) That reminds me, we need recast 1J heads now too so we'll be able to make CF -1J's. The CF pics look perfect. Good shade of brown. I wonder if the UN Spacy logo is tampo printed on the fuselage. That would be wonderful, but I somehow doubt it. Edited May 10, 2005 by Anubis Quote

Aha! Flash of inspiration, you just gave me an idea. Is the brown part of Hikaru's VF-1D valk the exact same shade brown with the CF, except for the chest plate and sides of the legs? That means I can actually create a custom VF_1D with Captain America's kits without too much problems! Edited May 10, 2005 by kensei Quote
