MacrossMan Posted June 11, 2008 Posted June 11, 2008 Anxious to see the packaging on these. Chances are I will be purchasing these and they will simply be stored until I get another display case. Hopefully Yamato will be clever in packaging these. I'd like to see them shipped in Battroid mode as I think it'll make for less bulk. OO
ruskiiVFaussie Posted June 11, 2008 Posted June 11, 2008 Hmm i forgot about the tampo printing too... I might just cancel my idea of getting the 1A Hikky. What was his numbers in his DYRL? 1A everyone??
Dante74 Posted June 11, 2008 Posted June 11, 2008 Hmm i forgot about the tampo printing too... I might just cancel my idea of getting the 1A Hikky. What was his numbers in his DYRL? 1A everyone?? 011?
ruskiiVFaussie Posted June 11, 2008 Posted June 11, 2008 yeah that sounds about right, are the numbers tampo'd??? If so i'll dodge it.
Impreszive Posted June 11, 2008 Posted June 11, 2008 Has anyone been billed yet by HLJ for their pre-order? I still haven't (which is good, cause I am friggin poor right now).
Dante74 Posted June 11, 2008 Posted June 11, 2008 Has anyone been billed yet by HLJ for their pre-order? I still haven't (which is good, cause I am friggin poor right now). Usually a june release means the end of june or the beginning of july.
transfan52 Posted June 12, 2008 Posted June 12, 2008 Ill probly end up getting the VF-1A version, I dont have a single 1A head yet.
Impreszive Posted June 12, 2008 Posted June 12, 2008 Usually a june release means the end of june or the beginning of july. Good to know. Student loan refund here I come!
arrow Posted June 13, 2008 Posted June 13, 2008 i'm holding out on these until they definitely have a v2 2 seater anything in that 1/60 vf line.
doodler7 Posted June 13, 2008 Posted June 13, 2008 sooooo.... VT-1 and VE-1 definitely on the works, right? right? ah geeez, i have butterflies on my stomach.
UN_MARINE Posted June 13, 2008 Posted June 13, 2008 ...how big are the boxes? all i'm hoping for right now is to get these at a reasonable price from my local importer. if the numbers aren't offensive, i might get a couple of 'em. oh, and... i want a 1S Strike Hikaru NOWWWWWW !!! (and possibly a 1S Max)
misterryno Posted June 13, 2008 Posted June 13, 2008 GOD DAMN!!! You're gone for a few days busy working your a$$ off and you come back on to find pages upon pages of convo. in every section. I really need a new job where I don't miss MW sooooo much. Back to the topic....AWESOME that they have a Hikky 1A on it's way out! Taking a second, third and even fourth look at the rainbow canopy....it's not too bad after all. And the amount of tampo there seems to be on these bad boys is GREAT!
mickayesou Posted June 13, 2008 Posted June 13, 2008 new pics from yamato and comparaison 1/48 vs 1/60 yamato
misterryno Posted June 13, 2008 Posted June 13, 2008 new pics from yamato and comparaison 1/48 vs 1/60 yamato SWEET!!! THANKS FOR THE LINKY!!! I dig sooooo much about the 1/60 v.2!!!
Dangard Ace Posted June 13, 2008 Posted June 13, 2008 Yamato: Now this is how we're going to ownz the 1/48 and make people re-buy into the 1/60th scale.
ghostryder Posted June 13, 2008 Posted June 13, 2008 Everything about the 1/60 looks better than the 1/48, except the high-sitting head in battroid (I assume to accomodate the longer cockpit for 2-seater), and the slightly shorter nose in fighter. I love the double-jointed elbows--- we will finally be able to get that proper end-of-DYRL Hikaru battroid pose
bandit29 Posted June 13, 2008 Posted June 13, 2008 Wow looks good. Maybe I should get back into collecting... Any chance of side covers though? That's a nasty gap
misterryno Posted June 13, 2008 Posted June 13, 2008 Wow looks good. Maybe I should get back into collecting... Any chance of side covers though? That's a nasty gap No word on the side covers as of yet.....and that gap is unusually large for I believe it was not transformed all the way...meaning I don't think that they locked down the chest all the way.
Swoosh Posted June 13, 2008 Posted June 13, 2008 No doubt I will be getting this when it hit the store!!
eriku Posted June 13, 2008 Posted June 13, 2008 Dear Yamato, Yes, fine, we get it, it looks better than the 1/48. Now just release the damn thing so we can give you all our money. Sincerely, Everyone
Vifam7 Posted June 13, 2008 Posted June 13, 2008 new pics from yamato and comparaison 1/48 vs 1/60 yamato Interestingly, at the very end it mentions not only a Destroid Tomahawk to be released this Fall but also a Destroid Defender. Same 1/60 scale.
Dangard Ace Posted June 13, 2008 Posted June 13, 2008 Interestingly, at the very end it mentions not only a Destroid Tomahawk to be released this Fall but also a Destroid Defender. Same 1/60 scale. I think they already showcased Defender at one of their recent wondercons/fest whatever. I believe pics are in the 1/60 Destroid thread.
danth Posted June 13, 2008 Posted June 13, 2008 Wow, that butt shot is driving me wild. I think I'm in love.
eriku Posted June 13, 2008 Posted June 13, 2008 Wow, that butt shot is driving me wild. I think I'm in love. For some reason the only word that comes to mind when I look at that picture is "toit". I blame Graham.
eugimon Posted June 13, 2008 Posted June 13, 2008 really? that new latch just ruins it for me. It just looks like such the afterthought. I think that's what it's called in the instruction manual. Part: afterthought latch.
eriku Posted June 13, 2008 Posted June 13, 2008 (edited) I'm gonna paint the afterthought latch yellow on mine. And technically speaking I think it's referred to as the AL-9. Edited June 13, 2008 by eriku
1/1 LowViz Lurker Posted June 13, 2008 Posted June 13, 2008 the hands are the same size hehe now people finally understand what we crtics of small hands were on about. Totally improves the look of the robot when the hands are larger. They still look a bit chicken-ish but better in proportion than before. Now if they can just slim down GBP when it comes out. So the valk doesn't look like it's wearing a sumo suit.
ruskiiVFaussie Posted June 13, 2008 Posted June 13, 2008 (edited) really? that new latch just ruins it for me. It just looks like such the afterthought. I think that's what it's called in the instruction manual. Part: afterthought latch. Yes... the latch is pathetic. But still... NICE ASS! Maybe it can be pushed further back? I'd cut a bit of the backpack so i could, but i shouldn't have to YAMATO SHOULD. Edited June 13, 2008 by ruskiiVFaussie
connor99 Posted June 13, 2008 Posted June 13, 2008 i want a 1S Strike Hikaru NOWWWWWW !!! (and possibly a 1S Max) I really hope they do come out with both. Would be nice to have a 1S MAX in both scales.
HoveringCheesecake Posted June 14, 2008 Posted June 14, 2008 So the kite symbols on the wing and both sides of the fuselage forward of the cockpit are tampo-ed on along with the number "001"? If so, this is exactly what I've been wanting since I got the 1/48 with the ugly stickers.
ruskiiVFaussie Posted June 14, 2008 Posted June 14, 2008 (edited) if they are tampo'd than i'll wait for the VF-1S instead of the VF-1A Hik. Nothing wrong with Tampos tho! Edited June 14, 2008 by ruskiiVFaussie
MacrossMan Posted June 14, 2008 Posted June 14, 2008 if they are tampo'd than i'll wait for the VF-1S instead of the VF-1A Hik. Nothing wrong with Tampos tho! Tampo'd the way to go, IMHO, which is all the more reason I will be picking up any of the new 1/60 fighters they release. It's gonna be nice to be on the front of a new release and be able to buy the new stuff as it comes out instead of trying to play catch up. OO
ruskiiVFaussie Posted June 14, 2008 Posted June 14, 2008 That's right, no more catch up for us! Just the waiting. >___________< sad i'll have to wait 3 releases or so before i can get my Hikky 1S, lets hope the 3rd will be Max 1A! When the hell will we get two seaters??? Christmas time would be grand!
