nightmareB4macross Posted January 26, 2008 Posted January 26, 2008 Graham, Is the strike cannon removable? I don't see the FP tip.
Graham Posted January 26, 2008 Posted January 26, 2008 Is there a descreen option in your scanning software? It'll remove the dotted look. No, it does not. Can you recommend a good free software that has this feature? Graham
ruskiiVFaussie Posted January 26, 2008 Posted January 26, 2008 .... the Roy pilot figure looks great! i want a close up pic of him sitting there, i reckon the cockpit will have awesome detail. Not reckoning it will have a rotatable seat, as that would make the 1/60 YF-19 lameo!
Grand Admiral Posted January 26, 2008 Posted January 26, 2008 Is there a descreen option in your scanning software? It'll remove the dotted look. When scanners can't descreen, it makes patterns obscene, that's a moire!
ruskiiVFaussie Posted January 26, 2008 Posted January 26, 2008 Graham, Is the strike cannon removable? I don't see the FP tip. It would have to, unless, the strike pack doesn't come with a right missile pod. That would be Elton Johnish! No way man, it will have to come with the ability to remove. Didn't the original 1/60's have that option? I only got the VT-1... Guess we will have to grab a VF-1A (move) Super pack combo???? >_______>
hutch Posted January 26, 2008 Posted January 26, 2008 Beautiful. Can't wait until I can pre-order one.
Toonz Posted January 26, 2008 Posted January 26, 2008 how's yamato going to sell this?? first release vf-1s then... second release vf-1s+FP OR separate FP set like the 1/48 package? how how how???
odr78 Posted January 26, 2008 Posted January 26, 2008 how's yamato going to sell this?? first release vf-1s then... second release vf-1s+FP OR separate FP set like the 1/48 package? how how how??? And When ???
1/1 LowViz Lurker Posted January 26, 2008 Posted January 26, 2008 Well I believe they'd just do what they did with 1/48 wouldn't they? Some are stand alone, others with FP. And for those who want to buy seperate (or extra FP to put on non-FP valks in the tv series) they will release a seperate FP parts? Hopefully the boxes are tiny.
Awacs Posted January 26, 2008 Posted January 26, 2008 Given that the first magazine pictures we have seen show a Movie-style VF-1S with Strike config FASTpacks, I would wager that it is going to be packaged with those options. To be honest I would expect all of the new VF-1 1/60th line to be packaged with FASTpacks. It allows Yamato to maintain the existing price point from the 1/48th line despite the smaller scale - an important consideration if they are going to be competing with a hypothetical Bandai "Macross Frontier" line.

Vermillion21 Posted January 27, 2008 Posted January 27, 2008 Beautiful. Can't wait until I can pre-order one. Ditto.
Scream Man Posted January 27, 2008 Posted January 27, 2008 see, now Im torn. Hold out for version with FAST PACKS or get em stragith away????
Kyp Durron Posted January 27, 2008 Posted January 27, 2008 see, now Im torn. Hold out for version with FAST PACKS or get em stragith away???? I'm not, I'm getting whatever comes out first! -Kyp
misterryno Posted January 27, 2008 Posted January 27, 2008 I've finally made my decision. The only ones I will be aquireing are.... VF-1S Hikaru VF-1J Max VF-1J Milia VT-1
doodler7 Posted January 27, 2008 Posted January 27, 2008 A VF-1D would sure be nice ... I'd definitely buy that for sure VE-1 & VT-1 too. Yeah-yeaaaah!
Shin Densetsu Kai 7.0 Posted January 28, 2008 Posted January 28, 2008 I would gladly buy the following: VF-1S Focker(please be in grey, please! VF-1J Hikaru(grey could work too) VF-1A TV Max type(combat relevant, sure some say its bland, but hell the most significant dogfights do not always have the most colorful plane). VF-1D Maybes=VF-1A Hikaru DYRL(I love that one for some reason), low viz, et al.
Wicked Ace Posted January 28, 2008 Posted January 28, 2008 I'd like a 1/60 scale replacement for old hammer-head.
ruskiiVFaussie Posted January 28, 2008 Posted January 28, 2008 (edited) I want (in order most favoured) - VT-1 (and if i was to buy doubles of a two seater valk it would be the VT-1) so maybe x 2 VF-1D VE-1 VF-1S Hikaru x 2 (plus Strikes included in both combos) VF-1J Hikaru (GBP-1S included as combo) VF-1S Max VF-1A Cannon Fodder (will buy a FP/Strike/TV Super package for the CF.) VF-1S Roy (TV FP preferred but will grab the first release Roy Strike i spose) VF-1J Millia and Max 1J (FP's included of course) TV-1A Max anything else they bring out i may consider, but even though i'm a 1/60 scale nazi i still won't be a completist. That means no to Low-Vis 2, probably no to Stealth, and no to other crappy non-canon schemes. Angelbird scheme i may get. But i think no, coz the 1/48 is more fighter orientated, and the Angel Bird only looks good in Fighter. So no, no to Angelbird as well. Don't need two, i'm happy with my 1/48 Angelbird.

sidearmsalpha Posted January 28, 2008 Posted January 28, 2008 (edited) Well, it looks like they got the color right on these Strike parts. I could never understand how Yamato was able to get it right on the original 1/60 VF-1S Strike, but later, it was totally off on the 1/48 Super/Strike parts. Edited January 28, 2008 by sidearmsalpha
OmegaD3k Posted January 28, 2008 Posted January 28, 2008 Since I already got most of the "Hero" character VFs as 1/48 or 1/60 I'll be waiting for other paint schemes. Won't be getting any of the regular ones anymore, got enough of them already! XD
sahir Posted January 28, 2008 Posted January 28, 2008 i want VF-1S focker VF-1D (please low viz) VF-1J super max and milia VF-1A kakizaki
ruskiiVFaussie Posted January 28, 2008 Posted January 28, 2008 (edited) .. will be hard for me not to want getting TV-1A kakizaki too.. sadly never will want a DYRL? Kaki. Edited January 28, 2008 by ruskiiVFaussie
VFTF1 Posted January 28, 2008 Posted January 28, 2008 And in reply to post #704, NO THE BLOODY LEGS ARE NOT DETACHABLE! next person to ask if they are detachable or removeable gets an instant 1 week ban! What part of perfect transformation to you people not understand, huh? Graham (who is off the happy pills today) Well - I looked at the picture, and frankly I'd be sold if not for the fact that the legs on the 1/60s are detachable. VFTF1 ps - don't ban me! I just had ta :-)
Shin Densetsu Kai 7.0 Posted January 28, 2008 Posted January 28, 2008 I hope next months magazines have more pics, what a tease, they show us the armor right away, but nothing else.
do not disturb Posted January 28, 2008 Posted January 28, 2008 the FPs look alright but i really hope they include the extra missile pod along with the strike cannon. sometimes you want your strikes to be supers and vise versa.
Deimos Posted January 28, 2008 Posted January 28, 2008 I will wait for reviews than I decide to buy or not after spending so much on 1/48...these 1/60 can wait
TheLoneWolf Posted January 28, 2008 Posted January 28, 2008 I'm also hoping that the Strike set also includes an extra tip so that we can change it to Super armor if we want. While these 1/60 toys look great, I'll definitely wait for the 3rd or 4th release. In addition to having all the kinks worked out by then, I'm in no rush to buy more VF-1's after dropping money on the 1/48's and the old 1/60 line.
do not disturb Posted January 28, 2008 Posted January 28, 2008 While these 1/60 toys look great, I'll definitely wait for the 3rd or 4th release. i'm with you there. its the beginning of the line which means it'll take at least 2 releases before they go back and fix anything that needs to be fixed. i know they're just proto photos but did anyone notice how gappy the fighter mode is? the fit and finish just doesn't seem to be there, its almost toynami-esque.
Nani?! Posted January 28, 2008 Posted January 28, 2008 i'm with you there. its the beginning of the line which means it'll take at least 2 releases before they go back and fix anything that needs to be fixed. i know they're just proto photos but did anyone notice how gappy the fighter mode is? the fit and finish just doesn't seem to be there, its almost toynami-esque. I'm definitely in the "buy-the-2nd-release" bandwagon now. Even with the new releases people praise about, the sv-51 still came with wrong hinges (the nora is technically a second release). But yea, all yamato prototypes have gaps and it's too soon to determine the fit and finish of it. If anything, yamato had many attempts with the vf-1 design and I'm sure they got the hang of it by now.
Lonely Soldier Boy Posted January 29, 2008 Posted January 29, 2008 I think the big gaps have something to do with the materials used on the prototypes. Resin prototypes tend to have more gaps than their plastic production counterparts, so I wouldn't worry too much about it. I too have a long list for this line, but I'm also waiting for the second releases. That will give me time to recover from my recent purchases.

If anything, yamato had many attempts with the vf-1 design and I'm sure they got the hang of it by now. One would think that they could FINALLY get the VF-1 right. I sure hope so. If the ones that I have determined that I want are in the 2nd or 3rd release I will be VERY happy. Question for y'all.....if they make say the VT-1 in the first run and it ends up being crappy.....will they make the VT-1 AGAIN in the 2nd run???

I'd say by the time they release the VT-1, Yamato will have al the potential issues figured out. Aside from the cockpit, it's not that different from any other VF-1 with FPs
