Dante74 Posted May 31, 2008 Posted May 31, 2008 Dumb newbie question: so far, is it just the VF-1S Roy Focker valk that's being released in this "perfect transforming" toy line? Or does the 1/60 perfect line already include valks from other Mac series? All of Yamato's VF toys since the 1/48 feature perfect transformation. 1/48 VF-1 1/60 YF-19 1/60 VF-0 1/60 SV-51 1/60 YF-21 (released three days ago) 1/60 VF-1 v2.0 (The old 1/60 VF-1's weren't PT)
Vi-RS Posted May 31, 2008 Posted May 31, 2008 I wonder Yamato is gonna release the rest of the line in 3 boxes? 1/60 完全変形 VF-1S ロイ・フォッカー機 発売日 2008年7月 予定 予価 10,290 円（本体価格：9,800 円） 1/60 完全変形 VF-1S ストライクバルキリー ロイ・フォッカー機 発売日 2008年6月 予定 予価 13,440 円（本体価格：12,800 円） 1/60 完全変形 VF-1対応 スーパー＆ストライクパーツ 発売日 2008年7月 予定 予価 3,999 円（本体価格：3,800 円）
ruskiiVFaussie Posted May 31, 2008 Posted May 31, 2008 (edited) Of course they will release the VF-1S by itself, and the Strike/Super/FP set as a separate release. Firstly they released the Strike/Super/FP Vf-1S Focker Combo. Edited May 31, 2008 by ruskiiVFaussie

Sorry so many questions. Edited May 31, 2008 by samwiseb
bluemax151 Posted May 31, 2008 Posted May 31, 2008 So if I'm understanding correctly, all of the 1/60s you've cited here are also PT. Sorry so many questions. Yes. The old 1/60 scale VF-1 line required parts to be removed/installed to complete the transformation process like the legs for example. The new line does not require this and looks.. sexier?
samwiseb Posted May 31, 2008 Posted May 31, 2008 (edited) WOW. Expensive. The VF-1 seemed way the heck pricey enough, but it's less than half the cost of the earlier PTs, at least going by YesAsia prices. Wonder why that is. Hey thanks bluemax, ruskii and Dante for your replies. I've never been a serious toy collector, but learning about the reissued 'chunky monkeys' renewed my interest in seeing what was out there. I may have some serious considering to do. Edited May 31, 2008 by samwiseb
ruskiiVFaussie Posted May 31, 2008 Posted May 31, 2008 Please don't go by Yesasia prices (unbelievably overpriced), go by www.hlj.com (good) prices. Yesasia is only good for dvds.

Hey thanks bluemax, ruskii and Dante for your replies. I've never been a serious toy collector, but learning about the reissued 'chunky monkeys' renewed my interest in seeing what was out there. I may have some serious considering to do. The new VF-1 v2.0 is less expensive than the earlier 1/60 Valks because it's much smaller. The YF-19, YF-21 and VF-0 are much larger mecha than the VF-1. The SV-51 is even twice as long in fighter mode. :::EDIT::: The tiny red Valk is an old Yamato 1/60 VF-1J with FAST packs. Edited May 31, 2008 by Dante74
Hikuro Posted May 31, 2008 Posted May 31, 2008 The VF-1 seemed way the heck pricey enough, but it's less than half the cost of the earlier PTs, at least going by YesAsia prices. Wonder why that is. Currently yes they're less. But back when the 1/48's first came out, this was the price range for those figures. The 1/60's though parts swapping, were atleast under 100 dollars...but they didn't include fastpacks. When they did, then they got pricey. I still want one, but I'm not convinced really on price just yet.
misterryno Posted May 31, 2008 Posted May 31, 2008 Please don't go by Yesasia prices (unbelievably overpriced), go by www.hlj.com (good) prices. But if you live in the US. LOS at LAFtoys.com has a GREAT price!
Guest sh002 Posted May 31, 2008 Posted May 31, 2008 nice pic. if it isn't too much trouble can you get a pic of them in battroid mode with the yf-21 included?
ktrainer2885 Posted June 2, 2008 Posted June 2, 2008 I never realized how much of a difference there was in the vf-1 1/60 and the others. (sadly i cant see my collection though I do have all of them, something about not being able to ship to a war zone or some such rubbish)
MasterOfPuppets Posted June 3, 2008 Posted June 3, 2008 So am I the only one that noticed that on the supposed production version that AmiAmi has photographed the arrows on the head are red whereas the red dot is yellow? Whats the deal with that?

eugimon Posted June 3, 2008 Posted June 3, 2008 What an ingenious way to get us to buy mulitples/repaints.
ghostryder Posted June 3, 2008 Posted June 3, 2008 Is that irridescent coating on the canopy stock, or did this guy customize it???
T0t0r0 Posted June 3, 2008 Posted June 3, 2008 That new gimmick makes it pretty obvious that they will have to release a VF-1D at some point too.
Godzilla Posted June 3, 2008 Posted June 3, 2008 Yamato sucks. Gotta give it those boys in engineering. They know how make this sell and subsequent future releases. Now, what the hell am I gonna do with the 1/48s?

Mr March Posted June 3, 2008 Posted June 3, 2008 Great pictures! This is the best set of photos yet. The new 1/60 looks amazing.
