Nani?! Posted May 23, 2008 Posted May 23, 2008 Ah... I'm getting these. Hikaru, Focker, Max and Millia... make em and I will come.
odr78 Posted May 23, 2008 Posted May 23, 2008 ??? I've heard Yamato sell the VF-1s and Fastpack separetly ??? One package with VF and one package with the strike ??? Is it true ?
EXO Posted May 23, 2008 Posted May 23, 2008 ??? I've heard Yamato sell the VF-1s and Fastpack separetly ??? One package with VF and one package with the strike ??? Is it true ? I believe so. Non FP versions are to follow.
Kyp Durron Posted May 23, 2008 Posted May 23, 2008 I believe so. Non FP versions are to follow. They are, if I remember right, the earlier release dates had the non FP version and the FP set to be on sale about a month after the Strike/Super version debuts. -Kyp
Shin Densetsu Kai 7.0 Posted May 23, 2008 Posted May 23, 2008 ??? I've heard Yamato sell the VF-1s and Fastpack separetly ??? One package with VF and one package with the strike ??? Is it true ? Yes the solo VF-1S is set for release not too long afterwards.
jenius Posted May 23, 2008 Posted May 23, 2008 Aw crap, what if the non FP version has all the fixes we'll demand after fiddling with our FP versions for a month or so? Then we'll have to buy both! CURSE YOU YAMATO!!! I SEE WHAT YOU'RE DOING HERE!!!!! Uh, sorry, way too much coffee.
QuinJester Posted May 23, 2008 Posted May 23, 2008 Aw crap, what if the non FP version has all the fixes we'll demand after fiddling with our FP versions for a month or so? Then we'll have to buy both! CURSE YOU YAMATO!!! I SEE WHAT YOU'RE DOING HERE!!!!! Uh, sorry, way too much coffee. At least it'd be a nice reverse of the usual process of "you bought the original one, now we have a fixed version but it comes with extra stuff and costs $50 more"
Valkyrie addict Posted May 23, 2008 Posted May 23, 2008 hmmmmm....I'll wait for reviews too see if it will be as tight as a virgin, after the VF-0S and YF-19 mess... I'm not playing any chances I really want this, I'm a scale freak
Dante74 Posted May 23, 2008 Posted May 23, 2008 hmmmmm....I'll wait for reviews too see if it will be as tight as a virgin, after the VF-0S and YF-19 mess... I'm not playing any chances I really want this, I'm a scale freak After the VF-0S and YF-19 came the Ivanov SV-51 which was nearly free of QC issues and the Nora SV-51 and CF SV-51 which were completely free of QC issues. I feel confident that, after hiring a new QC manager, Yamato has got their game together a lot better than they did a year ago. Please Yamato, don't let me down!
Kyp Durron Posted May 23, 2008 Posted May 23, 2008 (edited) I just pre-orderd mine with VALKYRIE-EXCHANGE.com, $133.20 with shipping insurance is about as good as it's gonna get. I didn't want to pay more than $125, but I think the improvements over the 1/48 are worth it if this thing is everything that Graham says it is. -Kyp Edited May 23, 2008 by Kyp Durron
Shin Densetsu Kai 7.0 Posted May 23, 2008 Posted May 23, 2008 I just read that armor seperately will be 3900 yen, and solo valks are 10290 yen.
jenius Posted May 23, 2008 Posted May 23, 2008 After the VF-0S and YF-19 came the Ivanov SV-51 which was nearly free of QC issues Ivanov had the missiles that didn't attach well to the hardpoints (much like the 1/48 Reflex missiles that were so loose they would shift if you leaned the valk and pop off if you even thought of transforming it). The biggest problem with Ivanov had to be the number of people that got the wrong wing hinge. All the SV-51s that came out after him have the fixes (Nora, CF) so they don't really fit in the discussion. That all said, the SV-51 was a definite step in the right direction for Yamato getting over their first release jitters. After the disaster which was the VF-0 though I don't think anyone could ever be faulted for saying "Nah, you know what, I think I'll wait for a second release."
UN Spacy Posted May 23, 2008 Posted May 23, 2008 (edited) BRAND NEW PHOTOS are up at ami ami! http://www.amiami.com/shop?vgForm=ProductI...ate=review.html Edited May 23, 2008 by UN Spacy
1/1 LowViz Lurker Posted May 23, 2008 Posted May 23, 2008 Looks good. Glad they decided to redo 1/60. I wonder if they'll be a gbp upgrade?
Shin Densetsu Kai 7.0 Posted May 23, 2008 Posted May 23, 2008 BRAND NEW PHOTOS are up at ami ami! F%^&K! FINALLY!!! Hell yea! I wonder if they'll be a gbp upgrade? Already planned, thats why the ventral fins fold
Vegas Posted May 23, 2008 Posted May 23, 2008 NICE! love the gerwalk mode! bring on the 2 seaters pls!
Kyp Durron Posted May 23, 2008 Posted May 23, 2008 (edited) DAMN @ all the tampo printing on the fighter itself!!! You can look at it and tell this isn't the painted resin prototype we've been seeing. Also, note that other than the "UN SPACY" on the leg fast packs no other part of the fast packs have any markings. AWESOME!!!! -Kyp Edited May 23, 2008 by Kyp Durron
ruskiiVFaussie Posted May 23, 2008 Posted May 23, 2008 (edited) Fricken nice Valk! Ohhhh the poseability possibilities............. Edited May 23, 2008 by ruskiiVFaussie
Kyp Durron Posted May 23, 2008 Posted May 23, 2008 And the fingers all move individually....finally, we can make our battroids give the "one-fingered salute", lol. -Kyp
ruskiiVFaussie Posted May 23, 2008 Posted May 23, 2008 And the fingers all move individually....finally, we can make our battroids give the "one-fingered salute", lol. -Kyp I'm not sure, i thought those were removable non poseable fingies shown there, besides one pic, the left hand looks like poseable fingers.
ruskiiVFaussie Posted May 23, 2008 Posted May 23, 2008 (edited) Ahh, the gun hand isn't finger poseable, just the other. :edit: no, there are 3 types shown. Only one (left hand) is poseable/moveable. Also no side covers again, looks like it's up to our recasters to do this for us. Edited May 23, 2008 by ruskiiVFaussie
nightmareB4macross Posted May 23, 2008 Posted May 23, 2008 (edited) Looking good. Just two things that left me thinking WTF? 1. The large tab under the fast (see the GERWALK pic) 2. The little locking tab on the back pack is now present. I had thought this was removed? The knees on the other hand are very Revoltech. I like it!! Edited May 23, 2008 by nightmareB4macross
danth Posted May 23, 2008 Posted May 23, 2008 Holy f*ckdamn! Perfect. Looks like the chest isn't snapped down all the way though. Damn that gerwalk mode looks beautiful.
ghostryder Posted May 24, 2008 Posted May 24, 2008 (edited) Hey look, the left arm fastpack has the notch for the gunpod, and screws on the inside Looking good! Edited May 24, 2008 by ghostryder
Vifam7 Posted May 24, 2008 Posted May 24, 2008 (edited) Why does the heatshield look like it's floating above the canopy (in battroid mode)? Is that the way it's supposed to be? Or is it just an odd camera angle? Looks good nonetheless. Edited May 24, 2008 by Vifam7
eugimon Posted May 24, 2008 Posted May 24, 2008 Why does the heatshield look like it's floating above the canopy (in battroid mode)? Is that the way it's supposed to be? Or is it just an odd camera angle? Looks good nonetheless. the chest isn't locked down all the way, no worries.
danth Posted May 24, 2008 Posted May 24, 2008 (edited) Preordered! (from Valkyrie Exchange) More pics from amiami: I personally think it looks better than the 1/48. Edited May 24, 2008 by danth
misterryno Posted May 24, 2008 Posted May 24, 2008 UN Spacy & Danth, OMFG!!! THANK YOU SOOOOOOOO MUCH for the pics!!! This valk looks to be nothing short of absolutly fu(king AMAZING!!! I am VERY VERY VERY PLEASED!
Kyp Durron Posted May 24, 2008 Posted May 24, 2008 Preordered! (from Valkyrie Exchange) I personally think it looks better than the 1/48. I absolutely couldn't agree with you more. I knew this was gonna be the nail in the old 1/60 lines market value coffin. And it's looking that way more and more...this could even hurt the 1/48 line too, although there will always be people who are fans of the 1/48. -Kyp
UN_MARINE Posted May 24, 2008 Posted May 24, 2008 new tabs on the FP's ? interesting... does that mean they lock more securely now? with no fear of backpack breakage? consider me sold! now all i need is confirmation of a Strike Hikaru set
1/1 LowViz Lurker Posted May 24, 2008 Posted May 24, 2008 Can someone list all the improvements this toy has over the old 1/48 just for the record?
Vegas Posted May 24, 2008 Posted May 24, 2008 the new 1/60 is nice. ill definitely get them........but i will NEVER replace and sell my 1/48's!
