Dante74 Posted August 10, 2008 Posted August 10, 2008 (edited) This thread seems to have less and less to do with Graham's review. Perhaps it's time for a new 1/60 thread geared toward upcoming releases. I give you permission to create one. Yeah, we need a new 1/60 thread... Talking about it isn't gonna magically create one guys. Link to old thread. Link to Graham's review. Edited August 10, 2008 by Dante74
Dante74 Posted August 10, 2008 Author Posted August 10, 2008 I'm about to transform my VF-1S back to fighter mode for the first time. The Strike/FAST packs are still attached. Should I remove them before transforming or is it save to keep them attached?
ruskiiVFaussie Posted August 10, 2008 Posted August 10, 2008 (edited) With the added support, why couldn't it be possible? Edited August 10, 2008 by ruskiiVFaussie
Dante74 Posted August 10, 2008 Author Posted August 10, 2008 With the 1/48's it was best to remove the FAST packs before transforming because of the BP8 horror stories. I'm a little worried I might break it. I removed the packs before transforming just to be save. It's actually very easy to transform. I don't know what all the fuss with the hipbar was about, I encountered no problems whatsoever.
ruskiiVFaussie Posted August 10, 2008 Posted August 10, 2008 no trouble with transformation? Coz your HARDCOREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
Dante74 Posted August 10, 2008 Author Posted August 10, 2008 no trouble with transformation? Coz your HARDCOREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE! Did you and I see the same movie last night? You know, where that chick said: "Oh my, you're so hard Corey..."

Any movie with Will Ferrel is great AFAIC. Would an admin please create a thumbnail and link to Graham's review of the 1/60 v2 on the main page please? Having to go to the old thread each time I wanna look at the manual is starting to get a little frustrating. I know there's a manual taped to the box, I just don't want to remove it.
ruskiiVFaussie Posted August 10, 2008 Posted August 10, 2008 People do thumbnails all the time, i have no idea how it works! :-/
EXO Posted August 10, 2008 Posted August 10, 2008 People do thumbnails all the time, i have no idea how it works! :-/ you can either just add an attachment to your post or when you upload to imageshack or some other image hosting sites, they may provide a thumbnail for you. Imageshack does for sure. I personally don't like thumbnails. I like clicking on the thread and seeing the pics right on the posts.
Dante74 Posted August 10, 2008 Author Posted August 10, 2008 Actually, I meant links in the toy section on the main page.
misterryno Posted August 10, 2008 Posted August 10, 2008 (edited) Thanks for starting this new thread mate! After seeing that pic above I am even more excited for the release of the v.2 1/60s. I was unaware that they were going to give Hikky some TV hands and FPs too. THAT'S THE $HIZNIT!!! EDIT-----> Are those TV Booby Ducks? Edited August 10, 2008 by misterryno
eriku Posted August 10, 2008 Posted August 10, 2008 I don't know what all the fuss with the hipbar was about, I encountered no problems whatsoever. No problems here, either. I just had the underside of the nose facing me, pulled from below and they popped right out. I'm so used to the 1/48 that I tried for the longest time to figure out how to get the nosecone panel to fold back down over the bar so it's flush with the rest of the undercarriage and helps hold the bar in place (like the 1/'48), but then I realized it's impossible and that it just sort of sticks out. Seems like a weird design choice, but it doesn't seem to be a negative issue.
chowyunskinny Posted August 10, 2008 Posted August 10, 2008 Honey Bunches of Valks!!! It's from Yamato's blog and I think it has to do with the QC guy inspecting samples at the chinese factory I ran the page through Google Translations

jodokast Posted August 10, 2008 Posted August 10, 2008 Talking about it isn't gonna magically create one guys. Think you can grab the screencaps from here VF-1J 1/60 v.2 pics and edit your post?
Dante74 Posted August 10, 2008 Author Posted August 10, 2008 Think you can grab the screencaps from here VF-1J 1/60 v.2 pics and edit your post? Done! And for good measure I also added a link to Graham's review.
Kyp Durron Posted August 10, 2008 Posted August 10, 2008 I'd be willing to bet that we'll be seeing the 1J Stealth in this line up sometime next year. That's gonna look awesome. -Kyp
Hikuro Posted August 10, 2008 Posted August 10, 2008 You know, it's just something about the VF-1J I don't like with Fastpacks, now the GBPS okay, THAT I would pay 150 for. I think this one I'd just buy the figure and not the armor. I gotta really push for sales for the next few months I guess XD
Mechinyun Posted August 10, 2008 Posted August 10, 2008 Those fast packs on the vf-1j dont look like the correct TV colors to me, look more like the dyrl colors. TV fast packs were more green.
miriya Posted August 10, 2008 Posted August 10, 2008 Does someone want to post up the pics of the VF-1D here or should we keep that in its own thread?
eugimon Posted August 10, 2008 Posted August 10, 2008 Does someone want to post up the pics of the VF-1D here or should we keep that in its own thread? maybe a ver. 2 1/60 two seater thread?
UN Spacy Posted August 10, 2008 Posted August 10, 2008 I've said it before and I'll say it again. Yamato's new QC guy deserves a raise.
OmegaD3k Posted August 10, 2008 Posted August 10, 2008 (edited) I never knew the FP designs were different in the DYRL and TV versions. O_o The front of the TV FP arm piece are slanted at an angle like this: / The front of the DYRL FP arm piece are more horizontal and straight with small diagonal edges. What other differences are there? Edited August 10, 2008 by OmegaD3k
jackdaniels Posted August 10, 2008 Posted August 10, 2008 Theres also color. TV FPs are lighter and movie FPs are darker.
transfan52 Posted August 10, 2008 Posted August 10, 2008 You guys probably hate me by now for my sarcasticremarks and constant flaming but here goes my first post since my second temp ban... Im really tempted to wait for the VF-1J strike hikky version but Id rather get the VF-1A model since I do not yet have a VF-1A head...
ghostryder Posted August 10, 2008 Posted August 10, 2008 Those fast packs on the vf-1j dont look like the correct TV colors to me, look more like the dyrl colors. TV fast packs were more green. I always saw the TV packs as being more of a pure gray without the greenish tint (e.g., the VF-0 fast packs) . The DYRL pack should be very dark with a midnight/navy blue hue. So really, none of Yamato's VF-1 fastpack offerings are correct.
pochimus prime Posted August 10, 2008 Posted August 10, 2008 You guys probably hate me by now for my sarcasticremarks and constant flaming but here goes my first post since my second temp ban... Im really tempted to wait for the VF-1J strike hikky version but Id rather get the VF-1A model since I do not yet have a VF-1A head... you mean that's the second time you've been banned?! Well, the 1A goes out this month and it'll be a couple of months more before the 1J goes out, so there'll be time to save up even if you get the 1A I'm definirtrely going to put my other collections on hold for these 1/60's for the moment
miriya Posted August 11, 2008 Posted August 11, 2008 I always saw the TV packs as being more of a pure gray without the greenish tint (e.g., the VF-0 fast packs) .

pochimus prime Posted August 11, 2008 Posted August 11, 2008 r they basically releasing a month apart? Sort of. 1A is speculated to be released at the end of this month (for the lack of a definite date as most sites just has August as a release date) and Yamato's site schedules the 1J release as October (which presumably is at the end of October). This gives us a one-month window to save up if we get the 1A this month
sqidd Posted August 11, 2008 Posted August 11, 2008 (edited) I totally agree with you! Ok, help me out here. The next release is the VF-1A correct? Will it have FP's? Then the next release is the VF-1J correct? Will it have FP's? (I read through the post and lost my way) If it has FP's are they going to be TV or DYRL FP's (Look how smart I am with all the abbreviations) There was never a VF-1A Higgy with FP's released in 1/48 correct? But the below were released in 1/48 correct? VF-1S Higgy with FP's VF-1J with FP's VF-1A without FP's Edited August 11, 2008 by sqidd
