Alex Posted August 28, 2008 Posted August 28, 2008 (edited) I see that the 1/60 1As are out today. So tempted to pick one up. But them i saw the origin of Valk 1A fastpack set was also out. Chunky monkeys took away my attention. Edited August 28, 2008 by Alex
ruskiiVFaussie Posted August 28, 2008 Posted August 28, 2008 lol, to me that seems wrong very wrong, but hey, those chunkies are some awesome! Hope they do bring out the VT-1 as a chunky, then i can experience chunkyism and see what the fuss is all about.

I was so tempted by the 1/55 FP but it was like 8,800 yen. maybe another time since I bought Animated UM the other day. The 1/55s just ooze charm. You should definitely look into the new origin release. Edited August 28, 2008 by Alex

You should definitely look into the new origin release. Nuh, no chunky yet, i started with 1 v.1 Yamato 1/60 (VT-1) and then upgraded to the Hikaru 1S 1/48, which at the time was hard to find. Every now an then was gonna pop an get one, but wanted lineart (almost)perfect yamatos...
Alain Posted August 28, 2008 Posted August 28, 2008 My local toy shop just called me up, should be getting the 1A by weekend, and see if there are improvements, differences etc....
ruskiiVFaussie Posted August 28, 2008 Posted August 28, 2008 yeah improvements over the Fp Roy v.2 would be interesting (if there are any)
m0n5t3r Posted August 28, 2008 Posted August 28, 2008 My local toy shop just called me up, should be getting the 1A by weekend, and see if there are improvements, differences etc.... did they say how much?
Alain Posted August 28, 2008 Posted August 28, 2008 (edited) did they say how much? hmmm no, but i assume it will be the SAME price as the 1S. Billy is now computing the shipping cost via LBC, since I also bought a TF Binaltech 19 bluestreak. Edited August 28, 2008 by Alain
m0n5t3r Posted August 28, 2008 Posted August 28, 2008 hmmm no, but i assume it will be the SAME price as the 1S. yeah, guess it probably would be... i wish it was a hikky 1S though... but i'm really tempted... hmmmm
Alain Posted August 28, 2008 Posted August 28, 2008 yeah, guess it probably would be... i wish it was a hikky 1S though... but i'm really tempted... hmmmm hehehe go get the 1A, still have a long way in order for us to complete DYRL. the 1S Hikky will come eventually, now its time for the VF-1J, waiting game resumes
m0n5t3r Posted August 28, 2008 Posted August 28, 2008 (edited) hehehe go get the 1A, still have a long way in order for us to complete DYRL. the 1S Hikky will come eventually, now its time for the VF-1J, waiting game resumes might cave in since its "sweldo" day... specially if pics of the 1A are posted soon... will definitely get the 1J, but all this waiting around is killing me Edited August 28, 2008 by m0n5t3r

pochimus prime Posted August 28, 2008 Posted August 28, 2008 @ Alain: is the local shop BEST Toys? I wonder when Rbert will get his stocks
Alain Posted August 28, 2008 Posted August 28, 2008 @ Alain: is the local shop BEST Toys? I wonder when Rbert will get his stocks Yah its Bestoys, Billy just texted me, looking forward to it
Shin Densetsu Kai 7.0 Posted August 28, 2008 Posted August 28, 2008 Every now an then was gonna pop an get one, but wanted lineart (almost)perfect yamatos... Man given the current market, Yamato VF-1s are going to be out for a long time, they are newer, therefore easier to track down in the long run. Best to get the classics while you can man. yeah improvements over the Fp Roy v.2 would be interesting (if there are any) Swoosh said the arms/shoulders weren't as tight, and the tightness definitely contributed to stress on the flimsy shoulder hinge, which some members already had breakages with.
blackwater_park Posted August 28, 2008 Posted August 28, 2008 (edited) Long time lurker here... This appeared on a Japanese website I frequent today. I'll be gutted if the following quote turns out to be true. Surely not?! The VF-1D is my most eagerly awaited. That would be craziness. http://www.toysdaily.com/discuz/thread-73256-1-1.html "but only for yamatao fans club only , only for japanese ,not go to public " (sic) Seems to be the 1/60 judging by the title... Edited August 28, 2008 by blackwater_park
Shin Densetsu Kai 7.0 Posted August 28, 2008 Posted August 28, 2008 but only for yamatao fans club only , only for japanese ,not go to The magazine that the scan is from is for Yamato fans club only/japanese fanbase. The VF-1D will be available all over japan, so that means the etailers that we normally go to will be carrying it, its just a matter of when.

I hope so, I had fears of this being a return of the cannon fodder scenario.
eriku Posted August 28, 2008 Posted August 28, 2008 Heh, if Yamato made the 1D an exclusive I'd carefully wrap up a turd and mail it to them. Every day.
Kyp Durron Posted August 28, 2008 Posted August 28, 2008 Heh, if Yamato made the 1D an exclusive I'd carefully wrap up a turd and mail it to them. Every day. As hilarious as that sounds, let's just pray that it doesn't come to that. Because I will be VERY, VERY pissed off if they make the 1D some kind of fraking exclusive. -Kyp
misterryno Posted August 28, 2008 Posted August 28, 2008 Heh, if Yamato made the 1D an exclusive I'd carefully wrap up a turd and mail it to them. Every day. I would pull an R. Kelly on ALL of them.
EXO Posted August 28, 2008 Posted August 28, 2008 I will hurt people it that was true... well, I'll call random people nasty names but if they did that I would stop collecting these toys ASAP.

ruskiiVFaussie Posted August 29, 2008 Posted August 29, 2008 (edited) Heh, if Yamato made the 1D an exclusive I'd carefully wrap up a turd and mail it to them. Every day. You can do eit!! Why would they show the 1D prototype at Wonderfest only to make it an exclusive? Edited August 29, 2008 by ruskiiVFaussie
Sumdumgai Posted August 29, 2008 Posted August 29, 2008 I figure that Yamato has a different exclusive up their sleeve. They'd be shooting themselves in the foot to make the VF-1D an exclusive. Now some kind of repaint, that I could see being an exclusive.
sharky Posted August 29, 2008 Posted August 29, 2008 It always frustrates me when super limited exclusives of anything is released. Why can't they simply release a reasonable quantity that they project will sell. The con exclusives are really the most extreme example if this. If you are lucky enough to be there and get them, you can snag it for a reasonable price. But then the demand far out paces supply, and you have a huge mark up on ebay. It's always of the coolest things, and is usually more than I am willing to pay for it.
Shin Densetsu Kai 7.0 Posted August 29, 2008 Posted August 29, 2008 You know, we should all stop worrying, we are going off of a rumor perpetuated by a guy that just signed up and may have misread a blurb in the BBS he saw the scan at. No offense guy.
