mister_e Posted December 11, 2006 Posted December 11, 2006 Looks like series 2 is finally out! This took so long, I had almost forgot about these little valks. Here's to hoping we get those FAST/Strike packs Toynami 1/100 VF-1 Series 2 Quote
dizman Posted December 11, 2006 Posted December 11, 2006 I might buy the Hikaru Vf-1J but thats about it. Quote
jenius Posted December 11, 2006 Posted December 11, 2006 Wow, I had given up hope, I was hoping they'd come out early enough for me to ask for them as an Xmas gift... now it's too late Quote
nightmareB4macross Posted December 11, 2006 Posted December 11, 2006 HIP, HIP, HORRAY!! This means my long awaited set is going to be on it's way!!! Still waiting patiently for the FPs and the SPs to be release. I have been so tempted to create a custom set from an old Imai 1/100 kit. Quote
VALKYRIE-EXCHANGE.COM Posted December 11, 2006 Posted December 11, 2006 Yeah, series two just got released late last week. I am getting a few sets myself. Anyone interested can PM me. $60 shipped per set. -Kevin Quote
Graham Posted December 13, 2006 Posted December 13, 2006 Anybody feel like writing an indepth review of series 1 & series 2 for the main site? Looking for about 1000 words written in a fair and objective manner. And of course lots of pics of the toys in all three mode, box & instructions. I'd do it myself, but I have no plan to buy the toys as I don't want more VF-1 toys. If Toynami wants to send me some free samples to review I'll be happy to review them........hint, hint.

nightmareB4macross Posted December 13, 2006 Posted December 13, 2006 In the meantime... This is the dissasembled Toynami VF-1A Max from Series 1. I thought this was going to be a lot tougher. Though most parts can be disassembled, the only parts that can not be pulled apart are the backpack and the upper and lower arm parts. Care must be taken when pulling this apart. Do it slow and steadily. If you don't you'll regret it. Quote

protostar8 Posted December 13, 2006 Posted December 13, 2006 (edited) Well, I'll end up getting a Series 2 Max version if Toynami releases FAST packs. But I've been talking with Toynami via e-mail and they refuse to give me any form of hope that FAST packs are still coming out. The only thing they'd tell me was that they were focused on Series 2 right now with no information on FAST packs. Forgot to ask if anyone's heard anything different as to when/if the FAST packs are going to be released? Edited December 13, 2006 by protostar8 Quote
ghostryder Posted December 13, 2006 Posted December 13, 2006 It's too bad they haven't made any Zentran/Meltran CMs figures (other than macronized DYRL Max... ewww). The scale of the figures would match well with the 1/100. Quote

FP's looked really good on display at SDCC too.... Quote
Mechafan Posted December 14, 2006 Posted December 14, 2006 Those fastpacks better come out! That is the only reason I got these valks. Quote
Apollo Leader Posted December 14, 2006 Posted December 14, 2006 There is suppose to be a third series of VF-1's, though I'm not sure if Toynami's specified what VF-1's will be represented. If anyone wants to see that third series or the FAST Packs, buy Series 1 and 2 which are out right now! Toynami has put out the best 1/100th scale VF-1 toy ever done and are supporting Macross (TV series and DYRL) with this release, so I say we should show our support. Quote

LIES! this is more RT propaganda. they said the same crap about the beta when the alphas came out...but wheres the beta now? whats that old saying... fool me once, shame on you... fool me twice, shame on me...

VFTF1 Posted December 14, 2006 Posted December 14, 2006 Yeah, the lack of Betas is a bummer... VFTF1 Quote
Mechafan Posted December 14, 2006 Posted December 14, 2006 Series 3 is a mystery, if they come out at all. They did cancel some of the Macross Super poseables line. Poor Ben. Quote
KiriK Posted December 14, 2006 Posted December 14, 2006 Pics of my 1/100 collection: Also, check out the flight pose on the Max with the new tigter socket replacement piece i got from Toynami. Hasn't broken or fallen since i put it that way a couple of weeks ago! Quote

I'd buy them if Toynami had a good track record of putting out what they show, but they don't so I'll wait and see if FAST packs come out before I make a purchase. I have so many other things that I'd rather have b/c I already have tons of VF-1's and without FAST packs, I can't really justify the cost. Quote

I have so many other things that I'd rather have b/c I already have tons of VF-1's and without FAST packs, I can't really justify the cost. I sent Toynami an email regarding the fast packs over 3 weeks ago and got no response. I purchased my 1/100 based on the pics showing the upcoming fast packs. If they pull the same thing with these as they did with the beta, I am never buying anything from toynami again. Quote
Mechafan Posted December 19, 2006 Posted December 19, 2006 If they pull the same thing with these as they did with the beta, I am never buying anything from toynami again. That is why the rest I have coming will stay in the box. No fast packs and these will get sold off. Toynami is really pissing me off now! Quote

Toynami is really pissing me off now! If Toynami, decides not to make the Strike/FP armour, it doesn't matter. I've got my set almost completed. It looks pretty nice so far (on my VF-1A BLUE ROSES).

Wicked Ace Posted December 20, 2006 Posted December 20, 2006 I know I'm new, but I have the series 1 1/100s and would love to write a review. Also take good pictures. But It would be ready Monday, since I would be able to do it over the weekend (work consumes my week). VFTF1 I'd love to read an in-depth review of these. If the write-up starts to take too much time due to writer's block, I humbly offer the phrases "glorified Banpresto," "crap-tastic wonder," "looks almost as good as 10 lbs. of dog crap in a 5 lb. bag," as well as "display stand works as well as Paris Hilton holding Rosanne Barr up with one hand."

Fly4victory Posted December 20, 2006 Posted December 20, 2006 NB4M Great job! Those are the only fast packs we will see on the toynami. Quote
KiriK Posted December 21, 2006 Posted December 21, 2006 got the series 2 valks this weekend.... they've included the better ball joint socket for the stand.... the only other difference i've seen so far is the heatsheild as it's plain and almost a matte color compared the the rest of the valk. headsculpt of the VF-1J isn't bad at all... Mine's was pretty tight.... looks good so far!!! just waiting for those FP's... argh.... Quote
jenius Posted December 21, 2006 Posted December 21, 2006 If I had to bet money i'd say the improved socket is probably what caused the big delay in their release. If that's the case I actually would have to say KUDOS! to Toynami for finally reacting to fan sentiment. Maybe there's hope afterall.... Quote
aaajin Posted December 22, 2006 Posted December 22, 2006 we sure need pictures of the 1J's in this thread..anyone? Quote
Froy Posted December 22, 2006 Posted December 22, 2006 Are they really worth? I mean, after what toynami did with the mpc´s I can get them here in Mexico for a good price but i don´t know if they worth. Quote
jenius Posted December 22, 2006 Posted December 22, 2006 For those of you considering buying the first series still, this store is selling them cheap (be sure to check shipping costs). I've never used this store so this isn't a personal recommendation, just something I noticed while shopping eBay Series 1 1/100 Toynami Valks Quote
jodokast Posted December 22, 2006 Posted December 22, 2006 For those of you considering buying the first series still, this store is selling them cheap (be sure to check shipping costs). I've never used this store so this isn't a personal recommendation, just something I noticed while shopping eBay Series 1 1/100 Toynami Valks Wow, for $33 + shipping {~9 to GA} they're almost good enough to buy for customs. It's too bad I bought all of mine separately. As soon as the 1/100 hikaru gets here, i'm gonna paint it in a low-vis v2. camo scheme. Maybe I'll pick up a few more for work. *Decisions, decisions, decisions...* Anyone try taking a 1/100 GPB-1 kit and bashing it w/ the toynami's? Quote
