anime52k8 Posted July 2, 2009 Posted July 2, 2009 On a second thought, the major concern I have with VE-1 is those tiny antenna I bet they are gonna make it in soft PU materials that can withstand bending or else they are gonna have some big issue with stiff ABS plastic. I never had V1 ve-1 so I don't know what they were made off, anyone? I don't know about the original VE-1, but I suspect that rather than using soft PU/PVC they'd be more likely to use somehting like POM like they did with the canards of the YF-19. Gotta love Overdrive's "immediate" shipping cost once you are ready to buy. SAL was not even an option when I ordered two v2 1/60's and two sets of Super & Strike part sets. Besides easy navigation of their site I received my goods in 3 days. I'll still purchase from HLJ because they have supported the MWcon over the years, but right now Overdrive is my first preference. eh, at this point I still use HLJ more than OD. I'll use both and their service tends to be about the same so for the most part it comes down to who whichever has the item in stock for the cheapest price, which usually ends up being HLJ. HLJ has mor frequent sales, usually has more items in stock, and carries stuff that OD just doesn't. mostly though I like HLJ because they DON'T charge you up front on preorders.
derex3592 Posted July 2, 2009 Posted July 2, 2009 (edited) Agreed, I made the mistake of ordering a Kaki and Pre-Ordering a CF-1A from OD over a month ago and they charged my card for both, but I guess I'm not getting either until the CF is released in August..... And yea....this one is definitly gonna have to come with some kind of stand for fighter mode......or at least it SHOULD!! Oh! just noticed I got promoted! 50th post! Sweet!

IHATEYOU Posted July 3, 2009 Posted July 3, 2009 babelfish translation of ve-1 page on yamato's website seems to indicate that the attachments for the stand will be included. with the vf-22 not coming with a stand i'm inclined to believe that no new valkyries will be sold with a stand included.
Omegablue Posted July 3, 2009 Posted July 3, 2009 With the Virgin Road confirmed on it's way (appears like a dark blue 1D in the tiny pic in the scoopa thread) what remains to know is will it came with the missle pods and clusters, will it come with a gun pod, and will it have additional fodder pilots? I really do hope it has additional fodder pilots and a gun pod to convince me. Displaying it with the couple on the way to the wedding is not my thing.
Letigre Posted July 3, 2009 Posted July 3, 2009 Displaying it with the couple on the way to the wedding is not my thing. Well isn't that really the point of it?
Omegablue Posted July 3, 2009 Posted July 3, 2009 (edited) Well isn't that really the point of it? I was hoping for a 2 seater in colour scheme I like, but with standard pilots. Not a fan of the others. Though looking at the pic, I really can't identify if it's really a 1D or a 1J? UPDATE!!! It could very well be a 1J two seater! It has the white stripe on the head??? Now I'm confused as it says 1D... ??? Edited July 3, 2009 by Omegablue

Agent-GHQ Posted July 3, 2009 Posted July 3, 2009 In the cartoon, it did not explain Max's change from VF-1A to a 1D then 1J?
Omegablue Posted July 3, 2009 Posted July 3, 2009 In the cartoon, it did not explain Max's change from VF-1A to a 1D then 1J? Well if you remember Max was always winning alot of Macross credits at the arcades, so he probably brought an entire hangar of Vf's for himself. Good thing the war ended, cause he almost had enough to buy the SDF and paint it blue as well. LOL
Guest sh002 Posted July 3, 2009 Posted July 3, 2009 i forgot but were they wearing wedding outfits or flight suits when they were in the vf-1d. that would be cool if it came with little pilots that were in wedding outfits.
jenius Posted July 3, 2009 Posted July 3, 2009 um, sh002, did you not see the pictures of the wedding outfit pilots? That was our first indication that they were making the virgin road 1D.
Guest sh002 Posted July 3, 2009 Posted July 3, 2009 oops sorry. i don't check this forum as often as before.

derex3592 Posted July 4, 2009 Posted July 4, 2009 Ohh yea! forgot about that pic! That Valk is gonna be a must have!!!
miriya Posted July 4, 2009 Posted July 4, 2009 That would be a nice product. Grab bag of Yamato Macross pilots and figures? Yeah. I would buy that.
Roy Focker Posted July 7, 2009 Posted July 7, 2009 Shipping was fast. My VF-1D was picked up on the 2nd in Japan and arrived in the US on the 3rd. Then a blasted holiday came and it is waiting for customs. have to wait for them to get caught up.
ruskiiVFaussie Posted July 7, 2009 Posted July 7, 2009 That would be a nice product. Grab bag of Yamato Macross pilots and figures? Yeah. I would buy that. Totally, so easy to cut the legs and re-join to make them standing figures.
Godzilla Posted July 8, 2009 Posted July 8, 2009 In the cartoon, it did not explain Max's change from VF-1A to a 1D then 1J? Correction. He was promo'd to have VF-1J. He was escorting Misa back to Earth. He got promoted and had flight prior to escorting Misa. He already went to VF-1J. He went from VF-1A to VF-1J to VF-1D and back to VF-1J as his wife got her own VF-1J.
GRAND CANNON Posted July 8, 2009 Posted July 8, 2009 (edited) September is the month for the "Virgin Road": http://www.yamato-toys.com/items/detail.php?gid=1378 Can someone hook us up with those nice large pics? Edited July 8, 2009 by GRAND CANNON
diabloM Posted July 8, 2009 Posted July 8, 2009 agree...sweet... the more you look at 1/60 v2 the more you like it...this applies to virgin road too...
EXO Posted July 8, 2009 Posted July 8, 2009 So Millia can put her feet down and minmay has to ride in fetal position? Gotta check out that pic of the pilots again...
Godzilla Posted July 8, 2009 Posted July 8, 2009 (edited) Now that is a pretty site. EDIT: Spelling Edited July 8, 2009 by Godzilla
505thAirborne Posted July 8, 2009 Posted July 8, 2009 Never thought I would see the day, A VF-1D Virgin Road!! Awesome!!
Ignacio Ocamica Posted July 8, 2009 Posted July 8, 2009 Wow, thanks for the pics!!!!! Another valk that my wallet will hate
diabloM Posted July 8, 2009 Posted July 8, 2009 the head color is different from the one shown in macross mecha manual...
Agent-GHQ Posted July 8, 2009 Posted July 8, 2009 Never thought I would see the day, A VF-1D Virgin Road!! Awesome!! This was not hard to predict since the established VF-1D trainer.
anime52k8 Posted July 8, 2009 Posted July 8, 2009 so gorgeous, MUST RESIST! It's hot but I'll stick with the 1J's and wait for a 1D in Jungle colors.
GRAND CANNON Posted July 8, 2009 Posted July 8, 2009 Thanks for the big pics, ff95gj. No "Just Married" decals or tampo printing? Would custom-made beer cans on a string be over-the-top? What was Roy's favorite brand? Guess if they were to scale they would be too tiny anyway.....

DarrinG Posted July 8, 2009 Posted July 8, 2009 All the TV valks were on my list to get but I'm not too sure about this one. It was never shown in battroid mode and the head laser was shown as a 1A, by mistake I guess. Maybe if I inherit a bunch of money or something in the next couple months . . .
