Dobber Posted July 19, 2008 Posted July 19, 2008 Has anyone gotten a payment request yet from Valk-exchange? I pre-ordered the day he put it up and I need to pay with a money-order. I never did get an email confirmation for the order but I remember seeing the "Thanks for your order" page come up after I ordered. I've pm'd Kev 2 times but haven't heard back yet. Just anxious is all, since he usually need the money before these things are released. Chris

ghostryder Posted July 19, 2008 Posted July 19, 2008 Awsome pics swoosh! We all hate you . Those fighter angles make it look perfect. Dobber - I too have not heard from Kevin.
MacrossMan Posted July 19, 2008 Posted July 19, 2008 Pure unadulterated sweetness there my brother! OO
MacrossMan Posted July 19, 2008 Posted July 19, 2008 sure!! busy tranforming them!!! I'm going to masterbate now... OO
Mog Posted July 19, 2008 Posted July 19, 2008 As always, thanks for the glorious pics, Swoosh!! Got any lunch boxes you could add to this pic?
Swoosh Posted July 19, 2008 Posted July 19, 2008 As always, thanks for the glorious pics, Swoosh!! Got any lunch boxes you could add to this pic? lol, I was thinking a tilte for this pic, may be adding some warm light and make it look like sunset?
arrow Posted July 19, 2008 Posted July 19, 2008 thanks for the striking photos. the vf-1 looks out of place somehow. anyway, looking at the complete macross lineup makes me want to get the other 1/60s that I don't have.
Ignacio Ocamica Posted July 19, 2008 Posted July 19, 2008 THE AWESOME!!!! Guess it's going to be a tie between the YF-21 and VF-1S for Toy of the year
Dante74 Posted July 19, 2008 Posted July 19, 2008 Greatest, bestest line up evaaaaaahhh!111 Thanks again swoosh!
SuperHobo Posted July 19, 2008 Posted July 19, 2008 Woot! Thanks for the pictures swoop its the sex bomb!
lechuck Posted July 19, 2008 Posted July 19, 2008 Thanks for the great pics swoosh. That battroid mode looks bad ass!!! Are my eyes deceiving me or does that battroid look like it has side covers A custom job swoosh or did Yamato miraculously include them?
miriya Posted July 19, 2008 Posted July 19, 2008 Thanks for the great pics swoosh. That battroid mode looks bad ass!!! Are my eyes deceiving me or does that battroid look like it has side covers A custom job swoosh or did Yamato miraculously include them? Optical illusion. To me I see what you are talking about but at the same time see how it still really needs side covers.
David Hingtgen Posted July 19, 2008 Posted July 19, 2008 Slightly OT, but Swoosh--is your YF-19 a 1st release or 2nd release? Have you modified it in any way? The shoulders in fighter mode caught my eye, as do the extremely well-fitting leg seams behind the shoulders in fighter mode.
Valkyrie addict Posted July 19, 2008 Posted July 19, 2008 daaaaaaaaaaaaaaamn! that's nice...I so envy you, damn, Isamu is FAT! haha! wonder where you keep all your valks stored up
Shin Densetsu Kai 7.0 Posted July 19, 2008 Posted July 19, 2008 Swoosh, hows the transformation, any different/more difficult than the 1/48?
ruskiiVFaussie Posted July 19, 2008 Posted July 19, 2008 WOWWWWWW, in scale goodness. VF-1 1/60 looks great!!!! Thanks for the effort Swoosh.
Twoducks Posted July 19, 2008 Posted July 19, 2008 God Swoosh, you always know how to take the most beautiful pictures! Thanks!
SuperHobo Posted July 19, 2008 Posted July 19, 2008 Hey Swoosh does your VF-1S have any quality issues at all? Is it nice and tight? I hope this first run is perfect so far.
do not disturb Posted July 19, 2008 Posted July 19, 2008 waiting for more pics.... with lotion in hand.
crasis Posted July 19, 2008 Posted July 19, 2008 Awesome pics, Swoosh! Guys, this truly is THE greatest year to be a Macross fan. I can't recall another time where we had it so good! Amazing new toys, an incredible new series, a rekindled interest in the franchise in Japan... damn. I'm going to be broke, but I've never been happier.
Swoosh Posted July 19, 2008 Posted July 19, 2008 (edited) Slightly OT, but Swoosh--is your YF-19 a 1st release or 2nd release? Have you modified it in any way? The shoulders in fighter mode caught my eye, as do the extremely well-fitting leg seams behind the shoulders in fighter mode. It is a 2nd release, I didn't modify it... but I remember I have to force fit it a little bit in the first few transformation. Swoosh, hows the transformation, any different/more difficult than the 1/48? 90% like the 1/48, a bit tricky in the swing bar area. Everything holds tights together, I like the new FAST pack attachment design, very solid! It can support the weight of the whole Valk, I have a feeling that Yamato will come out a new lanch arm to hold it upside down!!! The biggest surprise to me are the stickers!! It is so thin, non reflective and conform to the surface very well!! Is there a gundpod strap? No sling is included, but attachment point are there.... so may be.... accessories pack later? Edited July 20, 2008 by Swoosh
ruskiiVFaussie Posted July 19, 2008 Posted July 19, 2008 No strap hey, the 1/48 straps will be put to good use then. New launch arm would be cool! Upside downism...... *drools*
Fly4victory Posted July 19, 2008 Posted July 19, 2008 These are some great photos. Great to hear that Yamato finally improved the decals. I cannot remember who did this but I saved the picture. If Yamato comes up with the upside launch arm then I will have to up in the new 1/60 pool. Is it just the angle or is pilots seat too far forward? Will Yamato shoehorn a second seat in there?
ghostryder Posted July 19, 2008 Posted July 19, 2008 (edited) So I guess fragile BP8 hinge isn't an issue with the 1/60?? P.S. - I love how the canopy doesn't bulge out on the sides as much as the 1/48 Edited July 19, 2008 by ghostryder
UN Spacy Posted July 19, 2008 Posted July 19, 2008 I'm getting all giddy at all the amount of tampo printing. Good job Yamato. Can someone confirm that there's also the non Fast Pack version Roy on sale?
