m0n5t3r Posted January 14, 2009 Posted January 14, 2009 (edited) Yamato's dishing out some Max lovin'... done w/ Focker & Hikaru, now Max... betting to see Max 1J pics soon... customs schemes might come after they're done w/ all the canon valks... Edited January 14, 2009 by m0n5t3r
atreyu2112 Posted January 14, 2009 Posted January 14, 2009 What I don't understand is that since the heads are detachable, why didn't/doesn't Yamato release the DYRL VF-1 Hikaru & Max with BOTH 1A & 1S heads? Or just sell the heads seperately? (I'd pay $10 to $15 for a 1S head) I already have the Hikky 1A, I'm not going to shell more money out to buy a whole new valk just for a different head. Same with Max. I'll only get one, not both. There are so many other valk's I want to buy before I'm going to double up on 1 deco just for a different head. And these arent cheap either. Even without stike parts, these are over $100 when you factor in shipping. I mean, most of us are going to drop at least $1K on this new line alone (not counting the previous 1/60 line or the 1/48 line). Lets think... We have: DYRL Roy VF-1S DYRL Hikaru VF-1A TV Hikaru VF-1J Confirmed: TV VF-1D DYRL Hikaru VF-1S DYRL Max VF-1A DYRL Max VF-1S Not confirmed yet, but we KNOW we'll be getting: VF-1A Cannon Fodder TV Max VF-1J TV Milia VF-1J Not confirmed yet, but we HOPE we get: TV Max VF-1A DYRL Kakizaki VF-1A TV Kakizaki VF-1A VT-1 VE-1 Stealth Low Vis Low Vis 2 Angel Birds (I am sure I missed 1 or 2 more) That's a LOT of Valks... Yamato - SELL THE HIKARU/MAX 1S HEADS SEPERATELY, PLEASE!!!
jenius Posted January 15, 2009 Posted January 15, 2009 Um, Atreyu, TV Max 1A is confirmed, check back a page.
Rabidweezil Posted January 15, 2009 Posted January 15, 2009 Bleah. Blue Heat Shield on the Max. Now I have to get a black one for my Hikaru 1S AND the Max 1S. I guess no one at Yamato actually watched DYRL where Max's 1S was never shown with a blue heat shield
ruskiiVFaussie Posted January 15, 2009 Posted January 15, 2009 (edited) 1/60 Yamato VF-1A MAX TV Ver. Woo Hoo CHARGER69 has dropped the BIG ONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thanks mate!! Wonder when this one is coming, in May?? 1D VF-11B + FP 1S Max 1A TV Max.... *___________* Edited January 15, 2009 by ruskiiVFaussie

I guess no one at Yamato actually watched DYRL where Max's 1S was never shown with a blue heat shield That's retconning for ya. No different than retconning the size of the VF-11B. I'm sure Kawamori had a hand in it. And Hikaru's is a toss up, it was shown with a red heatshield just as much as a black one.

ruskiiVFaussie Posted January 15, 2009 Posted January 15, 2009 Wow, this is real kick in the pants to all the 1/48 collectors willing to pay ridiculous amounts of money for a TV 1/48 Max. It's really nice to see how Yamato likes screw over it's fan base. What's next? 1/48 (uber expensive and exclusive) TV Kaki and the a V.2 1/60 TV Kaki with a minimal price tag? Not only are people paying out of the arse for (mind you very awesome) limited releases of 1/48 VF-1's like the TV Max 1A, but are also forgetting that alot of people are in it for the 1/60 Q-Rau pair up. YES! 1/48's will always be mighty fine, but are slowly dying. Hows the kits going mate??
MasterOfPuppets Posted January 15, 2009 Posted January 15, 2009 So that they can make more money when someone has to buy another valkyrie for another head. All companies do this, not just Yamato. Wings and fuselage also have different number markings for the S and A types.
ruskiiVFaussie Posted January 15, 2009 Posted January 15, 2009 (edited) lol just noticed Sir Charger69 posted pics of the 1A DYRL? Max. SOOO glad i don't need to buy this one, just need a 1A head that's all! Kakizaki DYRL? will be beheaded for that custom/swap. Yes, i do plan to get both Kakizaki, 1A DYRL? and more importantly TV 1A.

EXO Posted January 15, 2009 Posted January 15, 2009 seriously??? 1/60 TV-1A Max on Page 91 of some thread full of useless posts?
