How many are you buying? -- Yamato 1/60 VF-0S

[Godzilla]

I dont think I need to get that much. I am thinking maybe 4. GF will be getting on my case. Though I need to watch M0.

[UN Spacy]

So far only one.....but I'm starting to love this lineup so much I'll probably get EACH variant.

I've NEVER done that for any Macross toy.

[fansubs2000]

I'll start off with one.

I wouldn't put it past me to get another one later on when someone here at MW sells one it at a discount price in an attempt to get some quick cash.

[bigkid24]

Probably 1 for now but we'll see what happens when it comes out.

[valk1j]

Definately getting one, but if a VF-0D or SV-51 come out .....

Oh hell... if the SV-51 comes out, I am soooo screwed.

[Black Valkyrie]

Just one only if they release a VF-0A CF.

[Skull-1]

Probably zero. The VF-1 is my first love so I can't imagine anything better...

Have to see the finalized product to decide. The VF-0 looks gangly and awkward to me. It has some advanced features but these would have been better implmented in the VF-1 IMHO.

And to think they have a carrier fighter with main gear doors like that still makes me chuckle. Those things would get smashed on the first trap.

[eugimon]

they're overtechnology gear doors... overtechnology.

[Desram]

Where exactly do you all buy these new releases? I've only bought off ebay.. Is there anyway to "officially" buy one?

[kensei]

See my sig for the stores. There the ones I and many other people had no trouble with.

[TheFrenchOne]

Only one ... but as i really prefer the color scheme of VF-0 A a custom is possible so may be 2 after all.

[valkyrie312]

I hope they will put out the rest of the Mac Zero valks, as I have just seen the anime and it was pretty interesting. (Kind of hard to understand, but interesting noentheless).

[Renato]

I'll get the S and the D if it comes out. I really just want an SV-51, though.

Why do I think if Yamato were to come out with a SV-51, they will stuff it up?

You can purchase them online at a number of different places, all of whom supply official products. Websites like Valkyrie Exchange and Hobby Link Japan are just two examples of legitimate dealers who have been online for years.

[Beltane70]

Only 1 for me since they tend to be fairly expensive.

If they get someone like Nishikawa (the guy who designed the 1/48) to do the sculpt, everything should be good and dandy. I've got confidence that they won't screw up the SV-51.

But do you realize that a 1/60 SV-51 is going to be huge. I've got the Hasegawa 1/72 SV-51 and VF-0S and the SV-51 absolutely dwarfs the VF-0.

In my view, if they can pull off the Koenig with minimal complaints, then I can trust them with a 51. Price-wise, though... Nnnng... I really DID NOT like the news of just the 1/48 GBP parts costing more than an actual Valkyrie, and thus I am not looking forward to the price announcement of the Zero... let alone a 51.

[1/1 LowViz Lurker]

I wonder if they'll just lessen the scale for practical reasons? (like they constantly change the size of hands to suit the overall look of the toy, disregarding proportions for that instnace)

Does it really matter that everything in the series is exact in scale? If they were to release an octos or something I wouldn't care too much if it matched the size of every other toy to do with macross zero.

Yeah, Octos would definitely rock!!

[doodler7]

Just browsing through a Hobby Japan magazine, September Issue and I see numbers in the article for the 1/60 VF-0S to be 33 cm in battroid mode. Damn, that's tall...close to 2.5" inches taller than the 1/48!

Can someone else confirm?

Damn, imagine the SV-51!

Graham, how much longer is the 1/72 SV-51 compared to the VF-0S?

It seems to me that Yamato will choose any scale that lands the final prototype at ~30cm.

[twich]

I would hope that they would keep the SV-51 in scale with the VF-0S, should they decide to make a SV-51.....which I would hope that they would, I am sure that the thing would be tight and many people would go bonkers over it.....but that would come at a (probably) steep price, which I would be willing to pay in a heart beat for a chance to own a VF-0S and a SV-51 in scale with one another in perfect transformation!!!

Yes it will be great if they can have it in perfect transformation.

[1/1 LowViz Lurker]

I wonder how the extendable head gimmick would look in toy form?

[LORD KUNGFU]

I would buy a thousand of them. But I dont have that much money today, so I will buy one.

IIRC, I thought 33cm was the length given for the figher mode of the 1/60 VF-0S, not the height of the battroid mode. Anyway, whether it's fighter or battroid, 33cm is still bigger than the 1/48 VF-1.

Graham, how much longer is the 1/72 SV-51 compared to the VF-0S?

I'm not at home now so can't measure my Hasegawa kits, but the Macross Compendium gives the full size measurements of the VF-0 and SV-51 as follows (VF-1 length thrown in for comparison).

VF-0 length in fighter mode = 18.69 m

SV-51 length in fighter mode = 22.77 m

VF-1 length in fighter mode = 14.23 m,

So we can see that the SV-51 is slightly more than 4 meters longer than the VF-0 and a whopping 8.5 meters longer than the VF-1.

[UN Spacy]

Sorry to bump but now that we've seen pics of the final product are you sticking to your intial choice?

[kensei]

Definitely sticking to my decision. What a beauty!

[1/1 LowViz Lurker]

Yes. But it would be cool if like some guy bought one, hated it, and sold it to me for a bargain price so I could buy more than I had initially expected to get.

[vlenhoff]

I'm getting 2 of these beauties, maybe 3. I already paid for 2, but I'm thinking about ordering a third. I'm hopeless

[izzyfcuk]

im still in a mix between one or two

[Chowser]

i might buy two more. i initially said one, but i keep looking at it and would like to get one for each mode for display. but i'll have to see how funding works out since i preordered the garland and the stealth and low vis 2.

[Fortress_Maximus]

Might buy less b/c of the pricing, all depends on the price. And if I miss it this time around oh wells, realistically they will reissue it.
