hutch Posted January 15, 2007 Share Posted January 15, 2007 Just got into the 1/48 Valks. Also just saw DYRL for the first time. I already have the 1/48 Roy with FAST/Strike Pack. If you only had money for 2 Valks (right now) would you get: VF-1A Hikaru and VF-1A Max OR VF-1S Hikaru and VF-1A Max with 1 Fast Pack. Also, are the DYRL VF-1A's '1st' or '2nd' Generation? THANKS!

David Hingtgen Posted January 15, 2007 Share Posted January 15, 2007 I'd get the S Hikaru and A Max from that group of options. But I'd personally recommend getting a valk that is more than just a differently colored stripe, than getting practically a whole set of DYRL's. I mean, if you have a DYRL Roy, any other DYRL valk is going to be 95% identical. Get a TV J-model or something. Just IMHO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hutch Posted January 15, 2007 Author Share Posted January 15, 2007 Thanks for the help! I'm leaning toward the Hikaru 1S, as that seems to be the one he uses more... The DYRL Roy isn't the only one I have. I also have: Hikaru VF-1J Standard Color GBP set And 'on the way' I have: Super Stealth CF VF-1A Sorry I wan't clear...I'm totally obsessed with these things. I'd been debating the Roy 1/48 for like 2 years and finally buckled after getting some Christmas money. Glad I did and SURE glad I found this place. The knowledge base around here has been VERY helpful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kensei Posted January 15, 2007 Share Posted January 15, 2007 (edited) Max is a nice 1st generation one, as he is the first of the valks alongside the Low Vis 1 with the improvements to the wingflaps, elbows, and nosecone. Here is my sales thread with the Max. http://www.macrossworld.com/mwf/index.php?showtopic=21027 Edited January 15, 2007 by kensei Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scream Man Posted January 16, 2007 Share Posted January 16, 2007 PMed ya Kensei Id also go for a Stealth or Low viz 2 over the DYRL schemes. They look totally different and are very cool toys in their own right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mechafan Posted January 16, 2007 Share Posted January 16, 2007 I lean toward the VF-1S Hikaru and VF-1A Max. I ended up putting a S head on my Hikaru A later on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
do not disturb Posted January 16, 2007 Share Posted January 16, 2007 i say hold out and get something other than another VF-1. i understand the need ot get them all but a VF-1 is a VF-1 is a VF-1. get something different like the konig monster or the YF-19.

Sorry but I disagree completely. The VF-1 is the iconic Macross (and Robotech) mecha. Get as many as you can. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mechafan Posted January 16, 2007 Share Posted January 16, 2007 I agree, get as many Vf-1's as you like. I have like 13 1/48 Vf-1's. Not to mention the other scales. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BerserkFuhrer Posted January 16, 2007 Share Posted January 16, 2007 I too, should probably pick up a VF-1.. I was looking into VF-1D, are there any good versions of that available, I know there is the 1/60th but Im iffy on that scale. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mechafan Posted January 16, 2007 Share Posted January 16, 2007 Your choices are limited here. Either you find a Bandai 1/100 model kit or you get the 1/60 Yamato version. I have both. The 1/60 does come with 2 regular pilots. Here is Graham's review. http://www.macrossworld.com/macross/toys/vf-1d/_vf1d.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kensei Posted January 18, 2007 Share Posted January 18, 2007 Gee that was quick. The Stealth is a nice valk. I just don't like the colour of the visor. Should have been yellow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BerserkFuhrer Posted January 19, 2007 Share Posted January 19, 2007 I placed an order for that Hikaru VF-1 on sale, hopefully its a decent toy. I figured I should at least buy 1 1/48 VF-1, it was on sale, Im a cheapo End of story Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
