ruskiiVFaussie Posted May 17, 2007 Posted May 17, 2007 No, I could deal with the good news a lot later on in the year. no doubt, lets stick to the task at hand Don't jinx the news you guys! :( I atleast want to know it's coming this Christmas.
Scream Man Posted May 18, 2007 Posted May 18, 2007 Christmas would be the absolute earliest we'd see it.
Mog Posted May 18, 2007 Posted May 18, 2007 Just like ruskiiVFaussie, I'd love for Yamato to hit us up with some "blackjack" news. But gotta agree with the rest of you, we need to keep things in priority: 1) SV-51 news, updates, assurances, and demos for Graham to play with (and mercilessly cock-tease us with) 2) News on improvements to the latest batch of YF-19's. 3) News on the shoulder improvements to the upcoming VF-0's (and how to obtain 'em). 4) Veiled hints of when the YF-21 may be released. As much as it pains me to say it, I'd rather Yamato focus all of its attention on making these closer upcoming releases as top-notch as possible, rather than getting distracted with a goal of releasing the YF-21 by the end of this year.
Busted VF1A Posted May 18, 2007 Posted May 18, 2007 I'm so torn on that one. I really want the SV-51 and want Yamato to focus on making sure it is well worth the wait and the price tag (we won't go into the cost ot my mental health), but at the same time I still like the yf-21 more and would be totally thrilled if Graham came back with offical info on it... like a planned release date. If the 21 is coming out by the end of this year the next few months is when we'd likely start hearing about it right? doesn't Yamato tend to start leaking info about 6 month ahead of the planned release dates? Thats been my experience with the yf-19, vf-0a, ghost and sv-51.
ruskiiVFaussie Posted May 19, 2007 Posted May 19, 2007 (edited) Agree with you guys totally. But how do we know if they aren't already finished with the SV-51 product now? What if they are already are 1/4 way of producing the 1/60 YF-21??? lol Just want a 'little' news about guld's baby.... as much as we can know, but atleast a little... Edited May 19, 2007 by ruskiiVFaussie
GRAND CANNON Posted May 26, 2007 Posted May 26, 2007 (edited) Probably old news because I have not been keeping up with this thread, but I came across Nora's SV-51 while looking at the July Model Graphix: Edited May 26, 2007 by GRAND CANNON
Arkham Posted May 26, 2007 Posted May 26, 2007 That's not old news, that's GREAT news!!! My japanese is a bit rusty does it say it is a YAMATO PRODUCT!?!? ?
baronv Posted May 26, 2007 Posted May 26, 2007 Is that a Yamato 1/60 Nora type shown or is that a Hasegawa model? What's the caption read?
GRAND CANNON Posted May 26, 2007 Posted May 26, 2007 (edited) Here's the full page scan, but I do not know if the others on the pages are toys or kits either. The 1/60 scale made me assume they were the toys, but we all now where assumptions may get you.... Edited May 26, 2007 by GRAND CANNON
Dobber Posted May 26, 2007 Posted May 26, 2007 I believe that's just the CG model from the Macross Zero web page. It does say 1/60 in the caption though. I guess this is the announcement for the Nora type just no actual photo's of the real product yet. Chris
eugimon Posted May 26, 2007 Posted May 26, 2007 I'm curious to see how yamato plans to work the stripes of the nora paint scheme... but other than that, I'm not personally interested in it.
Dobber Posted May 26, 2007 Posted May 26, 2007 Yeah, me too. Ivanov version is all I need. Especially at these prices! Chris
Dante74 Posted May 26, 2007 Posted May 26, 2007 I'm sure that's is just the CG version used for the anouncement, but I'm still excited about the news.
Auto Pilot Off Posted May 28, 2007 Posted May 28, 2007 will nora be painted as it is in the anime??? its looks rather complicated paint scheme....
baronv Posted May 28, 2007 Posted May 28, 2007 Nora is due for an October release. Graham Alright, the Nora scheme may look funky, but I like it. Makes the plain white looking VF-1s boring looking.
ruskiiVFaussie Posted May 28, 2007 Posted May 28, 2007 Nora! now THAT is sexy. noice! now let the 1st run Ivanov hurry up and get along so Nora will be :hopefully: QC free~! :shrugs: I might actually get her, after i figure out how cool she is in the anime.
Arkham Posted May 28, 2007 Posted May 28, 2007 Alright, the Nora scheme may look funky, but I like it. Makes the plain white looking VF-1s boring looking. .... also remember she's a chick ... and evil biotch but still.... ?
Guppy Posted May 28, 2007 Posted May 28, 2007 I must be one of the few people that like the Nora scheme better. I love the racing stripes.
David Hingtgen Posted May 28, 2007 Posted May 28, 2007 I prefer the Nora scheme, and I believe Graham does too. Honestly I like it due to sheer color--it's not grey/black/white like everything else.
Dante74 Posted May 28, 2007 Posted May 28, 2007 October? That's fast. There will hardly be enough time for Yamato to implement any changes they might need to make due to possible QC issues with the Ivanov version.
1/1 LowViz Lurker Posted May 28, 2007 Posted May 28, 2007 The SV-51 is one big mecha. I wonder how huge the yamato boxes are going to be?
Dante74 Posted May 28, 2007 Posted May 28, 2007 The SV-51 is one big mecha. I wonder how huge the yamato boxes are going to be? ...and how much it'll cost to ship the damn thing.
Graham Posted May 28, 2007 Posted May 28, 2007 Yeah, I prefer Nora's scheme. My Hasegawa SV-51 is painted in Nora colors. Graham
promethuem5 Posted May 28, 2007 Posted May 28, 2007 Ah crap, you are probably right about the boxes... I bet it will be larger than the current standard box size (19 and 0's)...
do not disturb Posted May 29, 2007 Posted May 29, 2007 the nora scheme is "okay" but it makes it look like a transformer IMO. you know, weird funky colors that have no place in the robot/mech realm. to each his own.
Arkham Posted May 29, 2007 Posted May 29, 2007 the nora scheme is "okay" but it makes it look like a transformer IMO. you know, weird funky colors that have no place in the robot/mech realm. to each his own. I'll play the "Hey! It's a chick" card once again ?
Twoducks Posted May 29, 2007 Posted May 29, 2007 Another Nora scheme lover here. The only thing that would turn me off is the yellow lines being all stickers (hope this isn't the case and they tampoo as much as posible).
Hayao Kakizaki Posted May 29, 2007 Posted May 29, 2007 My japanese is a bit rusty does it say it is a YAMATO PRODUCT!?!? ? don't worry, the pic. state that it's yamato 1/60 perfect transform SV-51 nora type, will release in autum this year~~
do not disturb Posted May 29, 2007 Posted May 29, 2007 Another Nora scheme lover here. The only thing that would turn me off is the yellow lines being all stickers (hope this isn't the case and they tampoo as much as posible). the thing with stickers is, you have some control how straight they are and all that, but with tampo printing you're just crossing your fingers and hoping you get one that isn't crooked/misaligned. then again, if the stripes were stickers, i'd want them to include an additional 2 sets of stripes for if/when they eventually peel off. decisions, decisions....
