Fort Max Posted August 23, 2007 Posted August 23, 2007 Isn't it about, y'know, that time of the month.
Dante74 Posted August 23, 2007 Posted August 23, 2007 Isn't it about, y'know, that time of the month. What...you're in your period?...
Uxi Posted August 26, 2007 Posted August 26, 2007 Now that I got the YF-19 with FP and Booster, I really want a YF-21 with FP and Booster. I'd definitely buy the Ghost, too.
Guest sh002 Posted August 26, 2007 Posted August 26, 2007 (edited) If the 1/60 version is similar in transformation in the shoulder area and the material is not strong enough, it will most likely crack like the 1/72 version. Edited August 26, 2007 by sh002
isamu_dyson Posted August 26, 2007 Posted August 26, 2007 My 1/72 YF-21 didn't broke, neithe my Vf-11b .... anyway, The CAD drawings show a "new" line .. so we'll see soon i hope
Uxi Posted August 26, 2007 Posted August 26, 2007 Yeah, the 1/72 YF-21FP is one of my favorite Valks (especially fighter without the Fast Packs). What are you talking about, shoulder cracking?
Guest sh002 Posted August 26, 2007 Posted August 26, 2007 this is graham's pic. that piece can easily get stress or crack when you lock the arm to the thruster for fighter mode.
Uxi Posted August 26, 2007 Posted August 26, 2007 That was fixed for the FP version of the 1/72. I probably have a couple hundred transformations on mine and not a sign of stress. From Graham's review/url]: "The shoulder sliders, which were constructed of ABS plastic on the original YF-21 and were very prone to stress cracking have now been changed to PVC. So far after multiple transformations and some fairy rough handling by me, they have shown no signs of cracking or stress."
Guest sh002 Posted August 26, 2007 Posted August 26, 2007 cool. at least the 1/60 won't have this problem, hopefully. i just transformed a brand new 1/72 regular version carefully today and it cracked.
eugimon Posted August 26, 2007 Posted August 26, 2007 cool. at least the 1/60 won't have this problem, hopefully. i just transformed a brand new 1/72 regular version carefully today and it cracked. I doubt the 1/60 shoulder mechanisms will resemble much the 1/72's.
Graham Posted August 27, 2007 Author Posted August 27, 2007 I doubt the 1/60 shoulder mechanisms will resemble much the 1/72's. No, it doesn't. This new YF-21 is definitely high speed, low drag and far more anime accurate than the old 1/72. Graham
Uxi Posted August 27, 2007 Posted August 27, 2007 Do we have a ball park MSRP? Should be roughly what the YF-19 is, right?
robodragon Posted August 27, 2007 Posted August 27, 2007 No, it doesn't. This new YF-21 is definitely high speed, low drag and far more anime accurate than the old 1/72. Graham That is great news. I can hardly wait to see what thry do with this one. The SV-51 looks so sweet. If that is any indication I'm sure my hart will be filled with all kinds of 21 love.
Sumdumgai Posted August 27, 2007 Posted August 27, 2007 Graham you sure know how to tease us and get us worked up. High speed, low drag, hell yeah!
Priss! Posted August 28, 2007 Posted August 28, 2007 (edited) Graham, is there some picture or some information about the YF-21 1/60 in the october issue of Dengeki Hobby magazine or in the Hobby Japan one ?? Edited August 28, 2007 by Priss!
ruskiiVFaussie Posted August 29, 2007 Posted August 29, 2007 No, it doesn't. This new YF-21 is definitely high speed, low drag and far more anime accurate than the old 1/72. Graham *glee... bliss...*
kensei Posted August 29, 2007 Posted August 29, 2007 May I ask Graham, are the wings on the real thing proportionately bigger compared to the other scales?
Lonely Soldier Boy Posted August 31, 2007 Posted August 31, 2007 With all the attention on the SV-51 these days, has anybody bothered to check out the hobby mags for more YF-21 info?
Ignacio Ocamica Posted August 31, 2007 Posted August 31, 2007 Yeah, I'm in a desperate need to see new scans showing other angles of the YF-21!!!
Priss! Posted August 31, 2007 Posted August 31, 2007 (edited) Yeah, I'm in a desperate need to see new scans showing other angles of the YF-21!!! I feel the same right now Edited August 31, 2007 by Priss!
Sumdumgai Posted August 31, 2007 Posted August 31, 2007 I haven't been to a Japanese bookstore for a couple of weeks. Next time I'm at one I'll check the hobby mags and report back.

What the hell are you still doing here posting on MW?! Get your ass over to that bookstore and bring us some scans dammit!

Wicked Ace Posted September 1, 2007 Posted September 1, 2007 (edited) I'm I right... I'M I RIGHT?! Surely, you can see the humor in having a Gundam avatar and making a statement about Yamato (our current main supplier of Macross) toys not being worth $200. You might get flamed a little bit.

eugimon Posted September 1, 2007 Posted September 1, 2007 I'm I right... I'M I RIGHT?! please, we have class A+ trolls here, you're going to have to try a LOT harder than that to get an angry yamato fanboy to bite.
Wicked Ace Posted September 1, 2007 Posted September 1, 2007 (edited) please, we have class A+ trolls here, you're going to have to try a LOT harder than that to get an angry yamato fanboy to bite. Yeah, but he's got a Gundam avatar -- that ought to get some bonus points. Edited September 1, 2007 by Wicked Ace
eugimon Posted September 1, 2007 Posted September 1, 2007 Yeah, but he's got a Gundam avatar -- that ought to get some bonus points. but no name calling. if he called us a bunch of drones, and then compared yamato to bandai and maybe made some negative comments about the 1/60 yf-21 based on extrapolations from the CAD art... maybe then.. maybe...
