Nani?! Posted November 2, 2007 Posted November 2, 2007 This is Macrossworld. Is anyone surprised? there's nothing wrong with macrossworld~ It's yamato's policy with the pics that are the problem.
VFTF1 Posted November 3, 2007 Posted November 3, 2007 Since there's nothing else to look at... can somebody throw that CAD art up on this page so we can all drool over it again? VFTF1
ruskiiVFaussie Posted November 3, 2007 Posted November 3, 2007 (edited) Cad.... SHMAD! Edited November 3, 2007 by ruskiiVFaussie

ruskiiVFaussie Posted November 5, 2007 Posted November 5, 2007 (edited) ... well i think it'd suck to have to buy Fp's with a Fold booster just to have FPs! yeah yeh ani't dat right! So borrrING the greatest Valkyrie ever designed and to be made into 1/60 and no picssssss! ArragggAGGhH!! More important than Macross Frontier for mine. Edited November 5, 2007 by ruskiiVFaussie
Ignacio Ocamica Posted November 5, 2007 Posted November 5, 2007 We might see some pics after the 20th of this month when the January Hobby Japan and Dengeki Hobby hit the streets This thread is the first one I check everytime I log onto Maccrossworld It's really frustrating to see that there's new replies but no pics!!!
Dante74 Posted November 5, 2007 Posted November 5, 2007 Anyone know when Wonderfest is going to be held?
Jeremy007 Posted November 5, 2007 Posted November 5, 2007 i believe its in January, but im not sure of the exact days.
no3Ljm Posted November 14, 2007 Posted November 14, 2007 hey everyone. this is my first post on this wonderful Macross forum. i'm also curious on this upcoming 1/60 scaled figure of YF-21. that's why i'm waiting for this one to come out first before deciding if i should get the YF-19 later on. been checking this thread for awhile now and there's still no official image yet from Yamato. anyways, the reason for this post is... since you guys are the expert on Macross. maybe you can check this Yamato CM video for the upcoming 1/60 YF-21 figure that i've downloaded this morning from the net if it's genuine or not. if it is, then this is the first time we saw the prototype with its colors. but then again, how come there's already a CM knowing there's no official image of the YF-21 yet. thanks. and more power to Macrossworld.
promethuem5 Posted November 14, 2007 Posted November 14, 2007 Oh sh!t, that looks legit! The shots are small and quick, but man it looked great! I can't wait now...
Auto Pilot Off Posted November 14, 2007 Posted November 14, 2007 WELCOME TO MACROSSWORLD! i think that video has been posted in another thread... its so popular that it has been posted many many times... hehee it looks sleek in fighter mode.. unlike the 1/72 yf21
Sumdumgai Posted November 14, 2007 Posted November 14, 2007 YF-21 tv commercial thread Yep, we already know about it. Thanks though.
doodler7 Posted November 14, 2007 Posted November 14, 2007 i wonder if the blue color will be slightly darker on the final product. anyway...i'm getting one. got my yf-19 already waiting patiently. yamato, please upgrade your boxes. eliminate the big flimsy boxes and turn to corrugated boxes like the Takara Masterpiece packaging. the sturdiness, matt finish with spot vanishes is really nice...well worth buying your toys if this will be the case. right now the SV-51 packaging doesn't feel like a $220 collector figure. damn, too bad i wasn't able to throw out the packaging issue to Graham before meeting with yamato.
miriya Posted November 14, 2007 Posted November 14, 2007 I particularly love the color choices that they made. The blue is gorgeous and I like it better than the dark blue they used on the 1/72 version. Also the kind of tangerine yellow on this new one is so much better than the nauseating bright yellow on the 1/72. I know many of you will disagree with me because it is not exactly like in the OVA but I actually prefer these colors than the "real" colors.
Lonely Soldier Boy Posted November 14, 2007 Posted November 14, 2007 On a closer inspection of the TV ad, I found out that the shoulder pads are hidden inside the airtake blocks: It seems that there's a opening panel in the bottom, so apparently you swivel the shoulder inside. Very clever. Also it seems like the fuselage under the cockpit splits in two making room for the nosecone to slide inside.
isa_o Posted November 14, 2007 Posted November 14, 2007 so the commerical is out where are the pictures graham
Sumdumgai Posted November 14, 2007 Posted November 14, 2007 (edited) Nice catch lonely soldier boy! I have to rewatch that video very carefully again. Not that that's a bad thing. Oh yeah, and who thinks the gunpods are going to attach at least partially by magnet? Edited November 14, 2007 by Sumdumgai
no3Ljm Posted November 15, 2007 Posted November 15, 2007 oppsss... sorry guys. didn't know there was already a thread for that CM. guess i got so carried away when i saw that one. and this is the only thread that i saved on my bookmarks. looks like everyone is so excited to see some photos of the prototype. hope they release it soon. so i can decide now. thanks for the welcome guys.
ruskiiVFaussie Posted November 15, 2007 Posted November 15, 2007 ... damn, too bad i wasn't able to throw out the packaging issue to Graham before meeting with yamato... I already did, and have on numerous occasions expressed the box issues, among other ppl, If G-man hasn't passed on this i'd totally turn into a sad panda.
Vermillion21 Posted November 16, 2007 Posted November 16, 2007 Holy snikey!!! First time I saw the video commercial ... sweet!!!! B))
aaajin Posted November 16, 2007 Posted November 16, 2007 Im guessing the box will have the same stripe style ala the YF-19 box... but I hope they'll pick more relevant/matching colors (green on the YF-19 just dont fit in)
Sumdumgai Posted November 16, 2007 Posted November 16, 2007 Just wait for the lame box art. While I may love MOST of the Yamato valkyries to death, with one glaring exception due to plastic mixtures, I have to say the more recent releases' box art has been less than spectacular. I liked the 1/48 DYRL boxes, they looked awesome. The Low Vis V1 was really nice looking too. Well, the box can be the ugliest thing I've ever seen as long as it does its job of protecting the preciousness inside it, and that the said "precious" is well engineered, has excellent QC, and... and... I'm worried about how strong this baby will be until we see detailed pics of it and its transformation.
Guest sh002 Posted November 18, 2007 Posted November 18, 2007 most likely packaged diagonally like the others. damn can't wait to place a preorder already.
Dat Pinche Haro! Posted November 21, 2007 Posted November 21, 2007 so we get a commercial but no prototype pictures yet? ahh well, i'll pick this up after it comes out... can't wait til we see a VF-11B!!
Save Posted November 21, 2007 Posted November 21, 2007 Saw it yesterday in fighter mode, my jaw is still on the floor. Not sure what stage it's at, but it wasn't made of plastic.
charger69 Posted November 21, 2007 Posted November 21, 2007 SaveRobotech, could you plaese take some photos of YF-21 over there??
miriya Posted November 21, 2007 Posted November 21, 2007 (edited) Saw it yesterday in fighter mode, my jaw is still on the floor. Not sure what stage it's at, but it wasn't made of plastic. What? All die-cast? Platinum? Lead? Depleted Uranium? Origami? But seriously, what IS it made out of? And,,,, Yes please grab some photos and post here. Thank you for pimping it in Akihabara. Edited November 21, 2007 by miriya
dizman Posted November 21, 2007 Posted November 21, 2007 Hahahaha I can see it now, "Pick up your Yf-21 today, complete with perfect transformation and made out of Depleted Uranium, only $1,000 if you pick it up now. Oh btw any side effects of owning a Yf-21 are not the fault of Yamato."
QuinJester Posted November 21, 2007 Posted November 21, 2007 What? All die-cast? Platinum? Lead? Depleted Uranium? Origami? But seriously, what IS it made out of? And,,,, Yes please grab some photos and post here. Thank you for pimping it in Akihabara. I think he meant it wasn't at final (plastic) production stage; eg made of resin and painted over. Then again, if Yamato HAS decided to start doing die-cast again.. well. That'd be rather surprising, to be honest.
Save Posted November 21, 2007 Posted November 21, 2007 Haha you guys are funny, wish more of you guys lived here. The only thing that gets made in Platinum in Japan is Gundam, complete waste if you ask me but hey to each his own. I'm guessing it was a solid resin type painted prototype it had some decals on it, most likely the one used in the commercial. Sorry guys no pictures again it was an industry only event. Yamato had a anti camera sign in front of the YF-21 and the last thing Graham needs is a MW member refelling Yamato's feathers. I'm sure you guys will see it soon enough.
Lonely Soldier Boy Posted November 21, 2007 Posted November 21, 2007 Nah. We'll see pics when Yamato has some plastic samples to show, more likely. So I guess we'll have to wait another month or so. Good sign you saw the proto fighter and liked that much tho'
Fatalist Posted November 21, 2007 Posted November 21, 2007 The sample is made of....get this......Unobtainium. Yep. Name that awful reference.
eugimon Posted November 21, 2007 Posted November 21, 2007 The sample is made of....get this......Unobtainium. Yep. Name that awful reference. WOW!!!
