VF-X2 toys

[kanedaestes]

If yamato makes toys from this line since they don't have the rights to Macross 7, what does this line offer us? Will it bring us the VF-5000? a VF-19 and VF-22? Please fill me in I must know for the sake of all that holy and so i can start saving now.

Zentraedi Variable Fighter

I think you mean the Pheyos.

There is also a gigantic mobile weapon called the Annabella-somethingorother.

Anyone have the pic with all the mecha off VF-X2?

VF-1A CF

VF-1S FP/SP

Isn't it the VF-1X?

There are no Strike Valkrie's, just the Super Valkyrie.

The 'removable legs' feature on the new '19 gave me an idea:

Yamato can sell a full-featured 1/60 Konig Monster in '3 Installments'... Body, left leg, right leg at $150 a cut.

[Sumdumgai]

Yeah, the Pheyos, I couldnt remember the name and didnt have access to my VFX2 game book.

And yes, I forgot it was the VF-1X. And I couldn't remember if it was super or strike... It's been a while.

I would still like a 1/60 Monster.

A VF-11 Ravens scheme would be pretty cool.

And a VF-17D would be very welcome.

addition: I'm sold on buying the Monster in parts with other valks.

I like the way you're thinking! Well, kinda. It'd be cool if they had a valk they knew they were going to release at X repaints or variants of and to offer the valk individually or as part of a gift set that included part of the 1/60 Monster for an obvious premium. I'd probably be about the only person that thinks that's a good idea though.

There is also a gigantic mobile weapon called the Annabella-somethingorother.

Annabella Lasiodora (some have claimed it to be a variation or modification to the Quel-Quallie Theatre Scout.)

There's also:

Gjagravan Va

Regult (missile pod)

Glaug

Fighter Pod

Defender

Phalanx

Tomahawk

Drone Fighter

Ghost

SB-10/10 Starwing

And for ships:

Factory Satellite

Rorqual Stealth Submarine

Hatchet Class: Destroyer

Atlantic Class: Attack Ship

Uraga Class Variant Escort Battle Carrier

West Point Class: Macro-Training Base Ship

Transport ship (that looks like the Meltraendi LST)

Meltraendi Gunship

There are a few more vehicles in the game too (2x ground weapon turret, 1x space turret, 1x orbital defense laser, etc..)

Quite a big ream of Macross vehicles, IMHO.

[sketchley]

Dug out my VF-X2 Official Visual Guide:

The VFs are:

VF-1X-Plus

VF-1X-Plus Super

VF-1X-Plus Armored

VA-3M Invader

VB-6

VF-11B Thunderbolt

VF-11B Full Armor

VF-17D Nightmare

Not sure how much of a difference the A,B,D, X makes, beyond the big differences between the VA-3, and the VA-3M (underwater mode, water landing mode, internal missile/torpedo launchers in the arms, internal lasers vs. external gun pod, etc..)

[kensei]

That's it! Thanks.

Don't forget the Macross 13! If you finished it right, which I haven't of course.

I gotta get the game again and replay it. While I knew how to choose the alternate ending, and stayed stock still, the bastard shot me anyway.

Damn... the one ship that I wanted to stress, but completely slipped my mind once I pulled out the book, and opened the Compendium. @.@

There's also a cool oversized missile that Kazutaka Miyatake designed for the battle vs. the Macross 13. Not sure if a kit would be made for that...

Hint - don't do anything, no shooting, no nothing, when you reach the choice scene. After about 30 seconds to a minute, the music changes, and the battle resumes (with you and him as allies.) Believe me, shooting him takes the player to the less interesting, much, MUCH more difficult ending...

Reviewing the thread, I think this question hasn't been answered directly yet:

Will it bring us the VF-5000?

No. One needs either 'Macross 7: Dynamite', 'Macross: M3,' or 'Macross Plus: Game Edition' to get it.

[Aegis!]

sketchley , you beat me to it.

I should´ve replied when I first saw the thread.

I´m secretly hoping Yamato to include the VF-5000 and Variable Glaug (or was it the neo Glaug?) into the Macross Plus line.

If I remember well Graham said in his report from his meeting with Yamato a couple of years ago that Yamato was considering both the VF-4 and VF-5000 for production whenever they finnished the M0 and M+ toys or something like that.

edit. forgot the smilies.

Neo-Glaug for Macross Plus Game Edition (no battroid mode, and akin to the Ghost X-9.)

The Variable Gluag (a better kit, IMHO) came with Macross M3. It also had two variants - standard, and Zentraedi. Both are much nicer in look than the Neo-Glaug. Mind you, they are refined versions of it...
