Dobber Posted July 9, 2009 Posted July 9, 2009 I'd love that CF 1J but I need to save money for the VE-1. Me too Chris Quote
Omegablue Posted July 10, 2009 Posted July 10, 2009 With Max and Millia 1J, and that LV Focker, I can't with this CF. It's very awesome, especially with the SP. But decided that afterwards I'm only gunning for the non-canon repaints like a Stealth or LV, and maybe for a Minmay guard. Although maybe if it goes on special like $50 to $60, then maybe... Quote
BlueMax Posted July 10, 2009 Posted July 10, 2009 Hm..... gentlemen (and ladies, if any), please go ahead and NOT buy this and the CF-1A..... if more of you decide not to buy them because of M&Ms or other hero valks.... it will mean.... SALE time @ HLJ or other vendors... and that means I can build an army of CFs! so go ahead and do us a favor, do not go to the nearest to place your order :lol: Quote

But seriously, has there ever been a Valk collector from the female specie? LOL Quote
honkhet Posted July 14, 2009 Posted July 14, 2009 wow, the colors look really... off. huh what the... F* yamato? unless he's kdding us? isnt that the 1J CF with TV 1A kakizaki's head swapped over??? Quote
BlueMax Posted July 14, 2009 Posted July 14, 2009 really? I thought that the color was pretty ok. It just irks me to know that the CF 1A will have a different shade from the 1J.... sheesh... Quote
BlueMax Posted July 14, 2009 Posted July 14, 2009 yeah... seems to be a Kakizaki head with the 1J CF Quote
Vi-RS Posted July 14, 2009 Posted July 14, 2009 yeah... seems to be a Kakizaki head with the 1J CF yes that's a swap. From official picture of yamato for kakizaki 1A, CF 1J and CF 1A, they appear to have different shades of tan but now it's confirmed that kakizaki 1A and CF 1J have the same color. I hope CF 1A will have darker color. I can't wait the CF 1A so I decided to do the swap. Quote

It looks to be back in the earlier pics in this thread. Quote
blackwater_park Posted July 16, 2009 Posted July 16, 2009 At first glance I do not like the color of the CF 1J at all, but then again I hated the orange they picked for the 1D when I first saw it. But now I don't notice its brightness and love it on display. For those with the 1J CF - does it look too light of a brown or does it grow on you? Just received it yesterday, and yes, it does look a bit too "Desert Storm" at first. When placed with the other V2s, particularly Hikaru's 1J, the colours have a nice progression. Definitely a grower, though. The green accent on the pilot's helmet is super cool ( going to display it in fighter mode with open canopy ) and the increased tampo really adds a bit of spice. There's even a tiny marking between the tail fins which I never noticed in the pics. Would definitely say that the upcoming 1A seems closer to canon so if you're on a budget, maybe wait. To be honest, I think the "correct" or rather the most "accepted" colour for the CF is somewhere between the two Yamato have chosen. Quote
DarrinG Posted July 16, 2009 Posted July 16, 2009 I thought my 1D color was hard to get used to! I just got my Max 1A - THAT is a SUPER white! The original color for the 1S was the best. Lament they did not carry that through to the rest of the TV releases. I may have to weather these after all. Which brings me to the CF 1J. If I decide to weather I may go ahead and get the it and tone it wayyy down on the lightness and brightness factor. . . Quote
macrossnake Posted July 17, 2009 Posted July 17, 2009 I love my CF 1J, load it up with armors....... Awesome photos. Quote
jenius Posted July 17, 2009 Posted July 17, 2009 Excellent use of the destroid ground crew and excellent diorama. Quote
honkhet Posted July 20, 2009 Posted July 20, 2009 man i am loving ur VF-1J CF too! CF 1J FTW!!! awesome mate Quote
ron5864 Posted July 22, 2009 Posted July 22, 2009 I just got this after winning it from MacrossCon09. The color scheme seems lighter than either in the TV or movie version. Wasn't it a dark sand tone instead of light sand? I might repaint it to match the TV color scheme and return it to next year's Con as a display piece. Quote

The CF VF-1A is in darker tone, coming out soon so I'd say you might wanna hold the project. I don't like the idea to paint the V2, too many tabs and tight transformation unless you wanna keep it in battroid mode. Quote
Grand Admiral Posted July 22, 2009 Posted July 22, 2009 I love my CF 1J, load it up with armors....... WHY ARE YOU DOING THIS TO ME?! Quote
ff95gj Posted July 22, 2009 Author Posted July 22, 2009 From the official site, it seems that the CF 1A would be issued in July (originally scheduled in August). Quote
Javabean Posted July 22, 2009 Posted July 22, 2009 (edited) And the VT-1 slated for July is switched over & scheduled for Aug. Anyway, im happy & looking fwd the CF 1A is coming earlier as getting the CF 1J . Edited July 22, 2009 by Javabean Quote

Anyway, im happy & looking fwd the CF 1A is coming earlier as getting the CF 1J . I never notice that the VT-1 was scheduled for July... Pretty sure it's August all along (check Grand Cannon's post in this board!). Why they said it's changed from July to August is beyond my understanding. Quote
Javabean Posted July 22, 2009 Posted July 22, 2009 Maybe my mistake & thought VT-1 is originally for July. Anyway looking fwd to the CF 1A! Quote
ff95gj Posted July 22, 2009 Author Posted July 22, 2009 Maybe my mistake & thought VT-1 is originally for July. Anyway looking fwd to the CF 1A! Yamato official says that it's changed from July to August too... But as a sucker who check its site every day... I remember it used to be August... So puzzled! And yes, let's look forward to the CF 1A! It's already July 22, and they still don't give a concrete day. Let's assume July 31... Quote
eyesonme78 Posted July 26, 2009 Posted July 26, 2009 Anyone has any infor for this release? Seems so quiet.... Quote
ron5864 Posted July 26, 2009 Posted July 26, 2009 Are there two versions of the VF-1J Cannon Fodder? I noticed the wing white stripe on the one that I have and no stripe on the Yamato website. Yamato's website shows: What came in the box: Just wondering which is the correct color scheme? Quote
JCSaves Posted July 26, 2009 Posted July 26, 2009 Are there two versions of the VF-1J Cannon Fodder? I noticed the wing white stripe on the one that I have and no stripe on the Yamato website. Yamato's website shows: What came in the box: Just wondering which is the correct color scheme? WOW. That's interesting. I like the one from the website personally. I am certain others here will now post pics of theirs to see what matches up. Maybe you got a special one. Doubt it. But just maybe. Quote
JCSaves Posted July 26, 2009 Posted July 26, 2009 I just looked back and saw the same thing on page 13. I'm amazed that no one else has said anything until now. Quote
anime52k8 Posted July 26, 2009 Posted July 26, 2009 I just looked back and saw the same thing on page 13. I'm amazed that no one else has said anything until now. The stripe-less version was the pre-production prototype. They added the stripes to the final release version, all of them come like that. Everyone else noticed weeks ago, you guys are just slow... sorry Quote

Everyone else noticed weeks ago, you guys are just slow... sorry That's too bad. And you're rude. I still think the pre-production version looks much better. I just don't care for the stripe down the middle of the wing. I want to say this will keep me from buying it. But it probably won't. Quote
miriya Posted July 27, 2009 Posted July 27, 2009 I think the wing stripe would look better if there was a matching chest stripe like on the other 1Js. Regardless I love the CF 1J. It looks great. Quote
