DarkHawk Posted December 15, 2008 Posted December 15, 2008 Since the 11b is getting released, what are the chances of the 11c fast packs and the protect armor being released? The way that Yamato released the 1/48 fast packs and gpb armor?
azrael Posted December 15, 2008 Posted December 15, 2008 Since the 11b is getting released, what are the chances of the 11c fast packs and the protect armor being released? The way that Yamato released the 1/48 fast packs and gpb armor? No. 11C's FAST packs fall under Macross 7, which is a Bandai license. So until Bandai gives it up, sub-licenses it, or it expires, the answer is no.
wldr Posted December 15, 2008 Posted December 15, 2008 Couple of interesting titbits. Scale will be true 1/60. However, Kawamori-san may have retconned the VF-11's size to make the dimensions larger than previously given (TBC). Apparently, he now thinks he made the dimensions too small originally. Graham I think this is a very good thing. I have always thought that the listed size of the VF11 was a little on the small size given that it was supposed to be able to fill most roles when it was created and had to carry all those fast packs to do so.

Yep, and my precious 1/72 VF-11B is now retroactively in the correct scale! Heh...
dizman Posted December 15, 2008 Posted December 15, 2008 Isn't it still possible for Yamato to make the Protect Armor under the VFX-2 liscense?
505thAirborne Posted December 16, 2008 Posted December 16, 2008 Isn't it still possible for Yamato to make the Protect Armor under the VFX-2 liscense? When it comes down to licensing, VFX & Mac Plus are both owned by Yamato, so if they want to it could be made. But not Macross 7.
Shin Densetsu Kai 7.0 Posted December 17, 2008 Posted December 17, 2008 Since the vertical stabilizers aren't that much bigger, even if the awesome Ravens Scheme is planned, you won't see much of the awesome artwork on the vertical stabilizers. Ah well...
ruskiiVFaussie Posted December 17, 2008 Posted December 17, 2008 (edited) It is encouraging to see Yamato getting more excessive with the different (and non canon) colour schemes, so atleast they won't be backward into thinking they can only sell a couple of versions of the Protect Armor... ahh what a glorious day that will be to see a Ravens VF-11 with similar Protect Armor... Also legends like NMB4M and PsYcHoDyNaMiX (and others!) would make mince meat of adding on their extendable/slap on fins so we can have anime magic fins for our VF-11.. I'm really excited about this release! Even more so than the YF-19 1/60. Edited December 17, 2008 by ruskiiVFaussie
Lonely Soldier Boy Posted December 17, 2008 Posted December 17, 2008 Maybe someone around here with the skills and enough love for the 11 would like to try and engineer a storable system for larger vertical fins as his next project and sell the kits to us, as I don't see Yamato revisiting that particular issue anytime soon. I know some MWers have a few good ideas already.

I know some MWers have a few good ideas already. Once the VF-11B is available, I'm pretty sure quite a few people will try to enlarge the tail fin and make them storable. Its the VF-11B, theres a lot of love for it!!!!
VFTF1 Posted December 17, 2008 Posted December 17, 2008 I want the Pink Pecker Squadron made if only... Pete
Dobber Posted December 17, 2008 Posted December 17, 2008 Could someone post a picture of what the Ravens scheme looks like. I'm pretty sure I remember but not certain. Chris

Dobber Posted December 17, 2008 Posted December 17, 2008 Thanks diabloM, that's the one I was thinking. Chris
edwin3060 Posted December 17, 2008 Posted December 17, 2008 Kinda has a whole Roy Fokker feel to it, which is not surprising given the pilot. I'll probably just stick to the standard VF-11B though.

sqidd Posted December 18, 2008 Posted December 18, 2008 Kinda has a whole Roy Fokker feel to it I call it SOLD!
ruskiiVFaussie Posted December 18, 2008 Posted December 18, 2008 SoLD indeed! Captain Aegis Focker?? Who what when? Please fill me in, who is Aegis in relation to Roy??? Cool!
Project Phoenix Posted December 18, 2008 Posted December 18, 2008 SoLD indeed! Captain Aegis Focker?? Who what when? Please fill me in, who is Aegis in relation to Roy??? Cool! I'm surprised you didn't who Aegis is! He is the main character in the PS1 video game Macross VF-X2. That's who you play in the game.
ruskiiVFaussie Posted December 18, 2008 Posted December 18, 2008 I figured that. :P But what is he? Cousin? distant relative? Former Room mate?
edwin3060 Posted December 18, 2008 Posted December 18, 2008 Long lost bastard son? I thought he was a clone?
Roy Focker Posted December 18, 2008 Posted December 18, 2008 Names are reused in Macross. Maybe Aegis is my long lost son. Maybe Aegis is my clone. Maybe he is someone else's clone but my surname sounded cooler.
Impreszive Posted December 18, 2008 Posted December 18, 2008 I call it SOLD! I have to agree with that. If it is that scheme, then I am in.
Lonely Soldier Boy Posted December 18, 2008 Posted December 18, 2008 And since VFX is cannon, Aegis must be a true Focker.
ruskiiVFaussie Posted December 19, 2008 Posted December 19, 2008 (edited) Yup, that's why i was excited to hear that the Fokker name isn't dead (or is it?!) Just adds more to my knowledge of the Macross legend, the second little world i dwell in as an addict, now i gotta play this game!!! Edited December 19, 2008 by ruskiiVFaussie
Project Phoenix Posted December 19, 2008 Posted December 19, 2008 I'd say he is Roy's cousin's brother's younger sister's oldest uncle's second niece's child.

AEGIS Before you die, there is something you should know about us. ROY What? AEGIS I am your father's brother's nephew's cousin's former room-mate. ROY What's that make us? AEGIS Absolutely nothing. Which is what you are about to become. Prepare to die.
edwin3060 Posted December 19, 2008 Posted December 19, 2008 Wait... what show is that from? It's on the tip of my tongue but I just can't remember!
Morpheus Posted December 19, 2008 Posted December 19, 2008 Wait... what show is that from? It's on the tip of my tongue but I just can't remember! OOT Spaceball, when Lonestar about to duel Helmet thingy...
edwin3060 Posted December 19, 2008 Posted December 19, 2008 OOT Spaceball, when Lonestar about to duel Helmet thingy... Oh yes! Now I remember. Must find the time to go watch it again, it's hilarious!

Project Phoenix Posted December 21, 2008 Posted December 21, 2008 I wonder if the Thunderbolt would come with the add-on boosters used by the chase planes in Episode 1?
