dreadpyrat Posted June 24, 2008 Posted June 24, 2008 Hey guys, I'm coming to this party kinda late (I'm a n00b) but I already know I GOTS to order me one of these! Where on earth can I still pre-order it?
misterryno Posted June 24, 2008 Posted June 24, 2008 Hey guys, I'm coming to this party kinda late (I'm a n00b) but I already know I GOTS to order me one of these! Where on earth can I still pre-order it? Here's my preference for an american dealer...LAFToys.com Here's my preference for an overseas dealer...HLJ.com another overseas...Overdrive and here Of course...I just realized that LAF is sold out...there are plenty of guys to buy from overseas though. Choose wisely.
Raptor One Posted June 24, 2008 Posted June 24, 2008 The YF-21 got delayed and look at how that turned out! If a month delay is what it takes for them to release with no quality problems, I for one welcome it. But but, I feel like I've been waiting for so long . It just seems like there should be no reason to delay since they're already showing off the finished product and letting ppl play with it etc. Anyway tho I have a dilemma. I find myself liking the VF-1A more than the 1S (this coming from someone who was never a fan of the 1A design) but I don't want to wait any longer than I have to my for my first real* valkyrie toy. Should I get the 1S or wait for the 1A? Or maybe just get both. I think I'm leaning towards the latter lol. *I have a MPC Max 1J but that doesn't count lol
danth Posted June 24, 2008 Posted June 24, 2008 But but, I feel like I've been waiting for so long I'm right there with you. The wait on this toy will kill me. I passed on the 1/48 even though the VF-1 is my favorite design ever, but this new 1/60 valk wins in every way the 1/48 fails. And I want it now. IT'S MY VALKYRIE AND I NEED IT NOW!
Extra Large Mumma Posted June 24, 2008 Posted June 24, 2008 I think the nose length and canopy look fantastic...bring on all the variants!! -Kyp Love the white color. If the final production color is white, I'll definitely get one.
Hikuro Posted June 24, 2008 Posted June 24, 2008 I got my VF-1S preordered......god I bet shipping is going to be rape......I really think it'll be alot of money.
misterryno Posted June 24, 2008 Posted June 24, 2008 I got my VF-1S preordered......god I bet shipping is going to be rape......I really think it'll be alot of money. I may put in an order with HLJ still. I have one with Los at LAF. I should do HLJ as well and see who gets it to me faster. The only thing I don't like about overseas is the shipping. The wait...the cost...they both suck.
misterryno Posted June 24, 2008 Posted June 24, 2008 Eh......I just put in an order with HLJ as well. There's barely a difference in the total price being paid.....so it will be up to the shipping time. Will it make it from overseas before I can get it stateside?!? Most likely yes.
Javabean Posted June 24, 2008 Posted June 24, 2008 i finally accepted the bubbled canopy, add a modern touch to the design.
Ignacio Ocamica Posted June 24, 2008 Posted June 24, 2008 any one of getting the 1/60 tomahawk as well? Me Already preordered!!
recon Posted June 24, 2008 Posted June 24, 2008 Dunnoe whether you guys notice this pic..the fuselage is detachable!! And could be mounted to the forearm..VF-1D fuselage mounted to VF-1S reenactment in TV series More pics of Fps Looks like the skull emblem is tampoed on?
ruskiiVFaussie Posted June 24, 2008 Posted June 24, 2008 (edited) yeah we know... But i didn't see these pics before, nice! Thanks. Edited June 24, 2008 by ruskiiVFaussie
DatterBoy Posted June 24, 2008 Posted June 24, 2008 really? I love Robotech. Best part of the day was running home after school and seeing the opening credits with the title music... Was definitely the highlight of my life at the time. Like it or not, Macross owes tons of cred to Robotech... (Am I getting banned?)
Hoptimus Posted June 24, 2008 Posted June 24, 2008 Dammit Yamato. I dont need to buy more Valkyries.....I cant believe I just said that. 8 years ago I was killing people for old Bandai's lol!!
dreadpyrat Posted June 24, 2008 Posted June 24, 2008 Ok, I did it! Preorder is in! Sprung for EMS shipping with HLJ....that way it'll get to me faster and my wallet will be thinner!
eriku Posted June 24, 2008 Posted June 24, 2008 ....that way it'll get to me faster and my wallet will be thinner! I usually find that's the best way to go. Shut up, wallet, nobody asked you!
hal9000 Posted June 24, 2008 Posted June 24, 2008 Yep my wallet was ok with the Supper S but got mad when I got the Tomahawk to. Orderd form OverDrive I'll see what thay can do.
MacrossMan Posted June 24, 2008 Posted June 24, 2008 Sorry mate....I could say I'm gonna wait till then....but I'd be lying. I just wanna get one from the get go in case I decide to get the whole line. That's exactly what I'm talking about. I won't be going through thousands of dollars again trying to play catch up in a matter of months on Yamato Macross stuff. I won't pre-order again though. I'll just wait until it comes out. Waiting on this YF-21 has been the biggest disappointment. Seeing the guys in the forums display and play with theirs while waiting is agonizing. It's like waking up Christmas morning and not having that hot toy and all your friends got it; then your parents tell you that you'll be able to get it AFTER Christmas. That sucks. It just doesn't taste the same once Christmas is gone...it's just so "last year" by the time you get it. Anywho, back on topic. I'll be copping them as they are released for the exacty reason you stated above. OO
Guest sh002 Posted June 24, 2008 Posted June 24, 2008 imo i'm glad i never got any 1/48's. yeah the 1/48's are awesome but so will these new 1/60's.
Dobber Posted June 24, 2008 Posted June 24, 2008 Yep my wallet was ok with the Supper S but got mad when I got the Tomahawk to. Orderd form OverDrive I'll see what thay can do. I never use Over-drive before, are their shipping estimates accurate? I'm considering taking the plunge for a VF-1a with them. Chris
nemesis_trooper Posted June 24, 2008 Posted June 24, 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 dang- yeah what you said...the high-sitting head bothers me for some reason....hopefully its not as bad as it looks!
Guest sh002 Posted June 24, 2008 Posted June 24, 2008 quick question how much did the original 1/60 vf-1s strike retail for when it hit the stores?
miriya Posted June 24, 2008 Posted June 24, 2008 quick question how much did the original 1/60 vf-1s strike retail for when it hit the stores? I think about half of this one? Not sure.
ghostryder Posted June 24, 2008 Posted June 24, 2008 dang- yeah what you said...the high-sitting head bothers me for some reason....hopefully its not as bad as it looks! Well, just keep the chin down and the chest plate unlocked, and the effect will hopefully me minimal

That sucks. It just doesn't taste the same once Christmas is gone...it's just so "last year" by the time you get it. OO I know this ALL TO WELL . I'm glad to be here and ready for a new line to introduce itself in it's entirety. I mean this by...when I started this drug I started with the reissue 1/55s, v.1 1/60s and the 1/48s...but all of those had been out for quite some time already. I was in a tight money spot when the zero valks and the 19 and 21 came out. But now...I'm in a good financial (getting better that is) position and getting some 1/48s (this is harder than it seems when you don't wanna sell your limbs) so getting all the v.2 1/60 line sounds like a feasible idea. Which makes me happy.....I'm soooo happy .
ruskiiVFaussie Posted June 25, 2008 Posted June 25, 2008 (edited) unless you know friends that live in your neighbourhood or come visit you to show their newely aquired Valkyrie i don't thin it would be a problem getting it later. "shut up ruskii! who the bloody hell asked you!" Edited June 25, 2008 by ruskiiVFaussie
misterryno Posted June 25, 2008 Posted June 25, 2008 "shut up ruskii! who the bloody hell asked you!" I love how you yell at yourself....it saves me the time
dreadpyrat Posted June 25, 2008 Posted June 25, 2008 So, what are the odds this thang will some with a display stand?
ruskiiVFaussie Posted June 25, 2008 Posted June 25, 2008 I think it's been confirmed no stand. I wanna see what the box art is.
Javabean Posted June 25, 2008 Posted June 25, 2008 I hv preordered both VF-1S & VF-1A, just can't resist it! Also want to see the box too, hope it is smaller size than the 1/48.
misterryno Posted June 25, 2008 Posted June 25, 2008 I wanna see what the box art is. I agree......do you think we'll get something cool....or lame like the 1/48 boxes....sorry guys....but the 1/48 boxes are lame....at least the art on them is.
EXO Posted June 25, 2008 Posted June 25, 2008 The GNU boxes are pretty big compared to the revoltech's box (proportionally) so it seems that Yamato are up to their old tricks still. They'll probably be be as big as the old 1/60 boxes. Even if they were just thinner like the chunky's it would be a lot better.
Hikuro Posted June 25, 2008 Posted June 25, 2008 Totally wanna preorder that Vf-1A....anytime I see one I wanna pre-order. But yeah prices god....I remember getting Hikaru's VF-1A for 55 dollars at a convention and thought that was a steal.
bluemax151 Posted June 25, 2008 Posted June 25, 2008 quick question how much did the original 1/60 vf-1s strike retail for when it hit the stores? About $90 on HLJ. Naked 1/60 valks could be had at cons and shows for around 50-60 IIRC.
