eyesonme78 Posted May 27, 2009 Posted May 27, 2009 damn! i just gave in and ordered the VF-1A CF... my perserverance arent that fantastic i presume... Quote
HoveringCheesecake Posted May 31, 2009 Posted May 31, 2009 The 1A will be the last VF I buy for years to come, so I'm quite excited about this release. *rubs hands together* Quote
Talonvar Posted June 1, 2009 Posted June 1, 2009 Definetly tempted with this one, anyone see an approximate release date or month? Quote
ff95gj Posted June 1, 2009 Author Posted June 1, 2009 Definetly tempted with this one, anyone see an approximate release date or month? The CF 1J would be in June, and the CF 1A would be in August. Quote
eyesonme78 Posted June 1, 2009 Posted June 1, 2009 The CF 1J would be in June, and the CF 1A would be in August. Damn... money loss as fast as i can get.... Sighs.. Quote
ff95gj Posted June 17, 2009 Author Posted June 17, 2009 Finally the release date is fixed on June 25. The 1J CF, I mean. Quote
Javabean Posted June 17, 2009 Posted June 17, 2009 That means it wud reach my shore around end June, payday! Quote
Vi-RS Posted June 17, 2009 Posted June 17, 2009 For some reason I like the DYRL 1A head better and too bad the CF 1A is in TV head, does anyone know they are gonna release the dyrl 1A head in CF scheme as well? Quote
Vi-RS Posted June 17, 2009 Posted June 17, 2009 This picture is a modified skull squadron picture, as there is no official color lineart for the DYRL standard VF1A (the one in Entertainment Bible 52 sports a TV head, so...). Looking at the movie, in one scene the 1A battroid can be clearly seen and has the black stripes as shown above (but is also white and not brown around the leg intakes...) Here's another DYRL CF 1A in fighter mode preparing to load with Super fast pack. Note the arrow on the head is green color, they have unique green arrow sorta like marking on the fast pack as well.

honkhet Posted June 19, 2009 Posted June 19, 2009 wow good observation at that! ya in DYRL they had at least skull, apollo and angel squadrons (quoted by misa hayase herself) i really wonder how the appollo and angel color schemes are really like would yamato do them? i would definitely sucker up and buy them, just to complement my skull squadron Quote
Omegablue Posted June 19, 2009 Posted June 19, 2009 i really wonder how the appollo and angel color schemes are really like would yamato do them? Good thought, also makes you wonder if the leaders of those teams also have 1S? Also in which team did the 1J with armour slot in? Quote
honkhet Posted June 19, 2009 Posted June 19, 2009 Good thought, also makes you wonder if the leaders of those teams also have 1S? Also in which team did the 1J with armour slot in? ya this is surely worth a short discussion... somehow i think the 1Js are the leaders for base defense (hence the GBP armor), while 1S are leaders for strike/attack teams (hence the strike/super parts) whadya guys think? Quote

In DYRL I always saw the 1J as a stand alone commondo unit. Like your elite pilot yet rogue hero unit, that went into missions alone to wreck havoc. My issue with the 1S is the production usuage of it. It makes more sense to have all the VF equiped with heads that have 4 laser barrels, instead of one like the 1A. Other than that, for me it stays a custom mod for the top of the teams. Quote

I think I read that besides the head, the S-type is better all across in terms of parts. And yes, that should mean more expensive. And better let some pilots die than buying them a better valk. Quote

anime52k8 Posted June 19, 2009 Posted June 19, 2009 So if Kakizaki had a 1S in the series, which is faster, he would have survived? series yes, DYRL? no. Quote
BlueMax Posted June 22, 2009 Posted June 22, 2009 (edited) Damn.... its out already?! looking real sweet! Heh..... I need mine now!! Edited June 22, 2009 by BlueMax Quote
Vi-RS Posted June 22, 2009 Posted June 22, 2009 I believe it's out. Is it the same shade as Kakizaki? Or maybe darker? I don't quite like the tan on the Kakizaki, kinda desert like tan and I can't wait to get the mass production type CF 1A. Quote
ff95gj Posted June 23, 2009 Author Posted June 23, 2009 Yes it's out... I shot those pic above myself. Quote
Javabean Posted June 23, 2009 Posted June 23, 2009 Loving it already...i thought the release date is 25 June? Quote
MacrossMan Posted June 23, 2009 Posted June 23, 2009 Yes it's out... I shot those pic above myself. Oh what it would be to live somewhere in Asia now. Lucky bastids! Quote
General Chaos Posted June 23, 2009 Posted June 23, 2009 Oh Man!!! I just pre ordered the VT-1 yesterday.. I really shouldn't be getting this until it has a price drop but you make it look so good!!! Curses!! Aughh.. It's out now I can order it and have a new valk within a few days!!!! What problem? Quote
honkhet Posted June 23, 2009 Posted June 23, 2009 didnt anyone here notice the extra white stripe on the wings? this stripe wasnt there in the previous photos we saw... wonder why yamato added those in? anyway it's still good... Quote
BlueMax Posted June 23, 2009 Posted June 23, 2009 Now that you mention it, yeah.... I wonder why this is so as well.... did they consult the Hory Froating Head or was it a case of simple memory error, just like the orange UN spacy symbol on the GNU VF-11 and how they almost almost made the same mistake on the 1/60 VF-11 if not for Graham-sama's intervention...... Hm... maybe Graham-sama can help to shed some light on this case instead. Anyways, having said that, i'm not too bothered by this, just found it strange that Yamato had it nailed at the prototype, but made the change subsequently. Quote

[/quote That's why they always keep the statement, "actual product might losok different than what it shows in pictures blah blah blah...." Anyway, I do find that the white stripes are not supposed to have on the wing unless they have it on the chest too. Quote
BlueMax Posted June 23, 2009 Posted June 23, 2009 I agree... but maybe its just for the 1J and not the 1A, to differentiate it top side. Quote
ff95gj Posted June 23, 2009 Author Posted June 23, 2009 Speaking of accuracy... The mouthpiece(?) should be brown too instead of white. But white does look better IMHO. Quote
Javabean Posted June 23, 2009 Posted June 23, 2009 Yamato may as well add another white stripe across the chest area like M&M version. Quote
Roy Focker Posted June 23, 2009 Posted June 23, 2009 It looks too me like that pilot has a green helmet and not another Hayao yellow shade. Quote
Omegablue Posted June 23, 2009 Posted June 23, 2009 I really like. But still gonna wait for the Focker Low-vis and the MwM Valks first. Though I do have question. Is the white that stormtrooper white, or the 1S greyish white? Quote
