anime52k8 Posted April 1, 2009 Share Posted April 1, 2009 I know this valk comes out in April sometime, but does anyone have any idea as to when in April or is Yamato always this vague? I am just curious because right now I am wrestling with buying something either (much more expensive than this) or this VF-1S here but if this doesn't come out until late April I don't know if I will wait for it (if I don't get it this month I'll wait a while longer for it probably). However if this comes out early to mid April I may just wait for it (or place a pre-order). usually when a release is listed in "April" (or any other month) it means "the absolute last day in that month." which sucks. I want my damn toy!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

honkhet Posted April 7, 2009 Share Posted April 7, 2009 haha... kakizaki 1S honestly, the 1A dyrl kakizaki looks much better now in 1/60 ver2, than it did in 1/48. when i imagine the angel birds scheme in 1/60 ver2, somehow it seemed awesome too :S its got to be that tinted canopy playing tricks on me... anyway good job yamato and i will continue to buy more 1/60 ver2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dobber Posted April 14, 2009 Share Posted April 14, 2009 Good news, I've been waiting for the TV 1A to be released. Mine is already paid for through Overdrive. I hope the stands come out soon too. Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope the stands come out soon too. Chris See now. Speaking of stands. You know how they keep including the attachment pieces for their launch arms...well...do you think they will come out with a "better" stand in order for us to use those pieces if we do not have one of the launch arm stands? I have 1 Launch arm. But that's probably the only own I'll own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dobber Posted April 14, 2009 Share Posted April 14, 2009 IIRC they will. They show the old VF-0's mounted on them so I pretty sure that it uses the same mounts. At least I'm hoping so...I got 4 on order and plan on getting a few more if they work out well. Hopefully Yamato won't box them in 1/60 size boxes so we can save on shipping!!

honkhet Posted April 16, 2009 Share Posted April 16, 2009 ...so guys, how many of you are getting the 1S and/or the 1A? i think i'll get the 1A, cos my guess is that my gf would be furious if she saw i got an exact copy of roy, with just a blue line for another 100 bucks (USD)? she'd practically slaughter me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dobber Posted April 16, 2009 Share Posted April 16, 2009 Yup, Max was the flight lead flying a 1S in DYRL after Hikaru and Misa were recovered. The scene where Kakisaki gets killed and then Max takes on Miriya. Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Master Dex Posted April 16, 2009 Share Posted April 16, 2009 I want to get the VF-1S Max but I may put it off for a while until I have more to spend. I was going to do it sooner but for now I'm allocating funds to a VF-25G 1/72 model and fast packs for it. I might be able to get Max's 1S sometime in the summer or after though, I do still want it. It'll go great with my 1/48 VF-1J Max! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kanedaestes Posted April 16, 2009 Share Posted April 16, 2009 (edited) I never tire of seeing that. Even in complete darkness he IS the most badass pilot of any show, anime, or whatever. I was going to pass on him but I will just suck it up and get his DYRL and TV 1A versions. I won't get the 1J though because I already have it in 1/48 scale and I like it in that scale. I do need to eventually buy Miriya to go with him. Edited April 16, 2009 by kanedaestes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shin Densetsu Kai 7.0 Posted April 16, 2009 Share Posted April 16, 2009 I never tire of seeing that. Even in complete darkness he IS the most badass pilot of any show, anime, or whatever.One of the best scenes in the movie. Definitely the best dogfight he had onscreen. It's the sole reason most fans want his VF-1S. He was only Skull Leader for what, less than 10 minutes onscreen? Yet that scene is awesome enough to justify purchasing that valkyrie. Definitely something to purchase if you are a Max fan, in fact why else would anyone want it? It's not like it'll have a ton of resale value, it's not as recognizable as his TV VF-1J.
