HoveringCheesecake Posted February 14, 2007 Share Posted February 14, 2007 Hmmm... it *would* be nice to have a Roy 0S vs. Ivanov display this summer. Hmmmm... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1/1 LowViz Lurker Posted February 15, 2007 Share Posted February 15, 2007 (edited) The extendable head is going to be funny! When they finally get around to it: I will probably reserve roy for Reactive Armor (and leave it in that) and just have shin in fighter mode with all the booster attachments vs nora. I wonder if they'll do non-canon paintschemes? As usual the UN had all the good toys in the end.

Aegis! Posted February 15, 2007 Share Posted February 15, 2007 I´m not trying to be a pesimist but i´m REALLY hoping they actually spend these 6 months of development in trying to eliminate ANY and ALL engineering flaws on this toy. Please Yamato, use this time to prevent any QC and design issues so we can get a flawless first production run ( as it was promised with the YF-19)! SERIOUSLY Oh, who am I kidding !? , they´ll probably just release it as is and wait for people ( like me ) to go and buy the flawed first run and release a 2nd flawless run so they can get double profit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bandit29 Posted February 15, 2007 Share Posted February 15, 2007 Ya right lol I can read it now: "My new SV-51 just broke, its alright though since Yamato is small company and where else can I buy Macross toys? Besides its all Harmony Gold's fault. Anyone recasting parts?" So predictable its annoying Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jasonc Posted February 15, 2007 Share Posted February 15, 2007 You know, that sounds about right as of late. I just ask about the recast though, as I'm not one to really complain much. If there is a problem, I like to fix it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dizman Posted February 15, 2007 Share Posted February 15, 2007 With all these problems as of late, ill probably wait for the second run of the SV-51. Maybe i'll buy the set with extra boosters when that comes out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
promethuem5 Posted February 16, 2007 Share Posted February 16, 2007 Depending on the WF pics, I could very well be all over the 51 as soon as it coems out. I love the uniqueness of the design and can't wait to see some real pics! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aegis! Posted February 16, 2007 Share Posted February 16, 2007 Haven´t you learned the lesson already ? Man, you must be brave. It´s not only predictable that this toy is even more prone to flaws than the YF-19 but it´s actually going to be even more expensive. How do you sleep at night knowing this and plan to buy it as soon as it´s out!? I whish I was that optimistic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uxi Posted February 16, 2007 Share Posted February 16, 2007 I'd get an Ivanov and maybe a CF or 2 depending on the pricing and if deals/discounts are available by the time the CF hits. I don't like the lavendar Nora SV-51, though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eugimon Posted February 16, 2007 Share Posted February 16, 2007 While I'm not keen on the ivanov paint scheme either, I'm going to wait till I actually see the yamato version. I'm wondering if maybe it will translate better as a toy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
promethuem5 Posted February 16, 2007 Share Posted February 16, 2007 ow do you sleep at night knowing this and plan to buy it as soon as it´s out!? I whish I was that optimistic.

Fly4victory Posted February 16, 2007 Share Posted February 16, 2007 Wow! That is great if you do. I do not know of anyone that has worked on the MPC Alpha. Please do. Perhaps you can save toynami from itself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Macross73 Posted February 16, 2007 Share Posted February 16, 2007 I've been mulling this over ... as much as I want this I may just sit back for the word on QC issues. I hope this is perfect from the get go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I whish I had the skills to mod my valks, I´ve got many ideas for customs schemes and all but I´m always afraid of ruining my $100+ toys. I just realise that the ¨my $100 plus toys¨ part just sounded kinda embarrasing edit: damn grammar Edited February 16, 2007 by Aegis! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
promethuem5 Posted February 17, 2007 Share Posted February 17, 2007 I've never gotten too worried about the ruining a $100+ toy after my first attempt... all it takes is some patience and planning... the thing that I love about it is how much more rewarding a completely awesome toy is after you have personally made it work and/or look so nice...

IAD Posted February 17, 2007 Share Posted February 17, 2007 Maybe somebody with access to a CNC mill and a bunch of aluminum should go into business, and make some high-end aftermarket upgrade components for the SV. At least then the first-run people would have some recourse, if/when things break, besides screaming at Yamato. Not to mention an aluminum-upgraded SV would look really neat! ~Luke Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mowe Posted February 17, 2007 Share Posted February 17, 2007 We entrust that job on your expertise on the SV!!!!

IAD Posted February 17, 2007 Share Posted February 17, 2007 Funny you should say that, I am actually in the process of designing/building a 3D digitizer and a 6' x 4' CNC gantry router...

Fly4victory Posted February 18, 2007 Share Posted February 18, 2007 Would that result in a limited production run of your fine RC aircraft??

VFTF1 Posted February 19, 2007 Share Posted February 19, 2007 "Haha, actually, I enjoy working on them... I just finally bought an MPC Alpha, and I'm planning out what will need fixing before it's even arrived" Yeah... For all the complaining, none of my Yamato toys have broken whereas my Toynami VF6HA (or whatever the numerics were on Scott Bernard) has been a byach from day 1!! Just yesterday, its' foot fell off - going to have to fix that... Sure, my VF-11B from Yamato just didn't want to fold together into jet mode properly and its' leg fell off - but I think I must have just gotten a dud... None of my other Yamato toys have had trouble - Plus - I preordered my YF19 from the initial first run from HLJ and it is flawless. Delicate toys, but certainly not brittle like Toynami... Though toynami has the problem with the Alphas; my VF1S from them is solid - stupid and chunky - but solid. Having seen Macross Zero, I look forward to the SV-51!

robodragon Posted February 20, 2007 Share Posted February 20, 2007 Boy count me in for one of these bad boys. I would like to super size it and have a VF-0D 1/60 to go with it as well, with a RA for my VF-0S on the side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Duymon Posted February 26, 2007 Share Posted February 26, 2007 Yamato should make a product that shouldn't need aftermarket parts to make it be able to do what it was suppossed to do in the first place. My hope is that they can make a polished, durable product that can be *gasp* played with out of the box. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dante74 Posted February 26, 2007 Share Posted February 26, 2007 I find it really weird that there's still no pics of the SV-51 popping up around the net. Lets hope Graham got the chance to take some pics before having to run from Big Scary Yamato Booth Guy. I'd love to see some pics of the Boosters on Ivanov's 51.
