azrael Posted September 18, 2009 Posted September 18, 2009 Expect another Macross 7 repaint of an existing toy (with some minor retooling - gunpod, pilot & FPs) to be announced soon. (Not too hard to guess which). Talk about mold-milking. So when is the Full-armored coming... NO! I WILL NOT PURCHASE HIS FIRE VALKYRIE!!!!! Say it with me, BOMBA! BOMBA! BOMBA! BOMBA! BOMBA! BOMBA! BOMBA! BOMBA! BOMBA! BOMBA! BOMBA!
Britai 7018 Posted September 18, 2009 Posted September 18, 2009 Definitely excited about the twin VF-22S' !!! Gotta start saving up right now... And as much as I'm not a fan of the VF-19 Kai, I think I would probably get one anyways.
Ivan Posted September 18, 2009 Posted September 18, 2009 Since I already bought the Gamlin version of VF-22, whose color is my favorite, I will probably pass on the M&M versions. BUT, I am glad I skipped the VF-11B. The VF-11C is so much nicer in my opinion. Let's all pray that Bandai's VF-100 Fire Valkryie will be a huge success so that Yamato will be convinced to make one. BOMBA!!!
KiriK Posted September 18, 2009 Posted September 18, 2009 glad i didn't watch Mac 7 so i don't care too much for these valks.. hehe... but i did buy the VF-22 since i liked the color scheme
Letigre Posted September 18, 2009 Posted September 18, 2009 Good news, although I don't have the money for them... Me neither, atleast if house shopping goes they way it should. I'll be happy enough to keep the one or two preorders I still have.
thankheaven Posted September 18, 2009 Posted September 18, 2009 M&M VF-22's and VF-11C coming. Awesome! Though im not sure my wallet will agree....
Chronocidal Posted September 18, 2009 Posted September 18, 2009 HOLEEEE... Man am I glad I held off on the Gamlin. My wallet is crying right now. Crying tears of sweet, sweet, M&M joy. This is gonna be an expensive year indeed.. especially if I go for the full M&M quad set like I want.
David Hingtgen Posted September 19, 2009 Posted September 19, 2009 A VF-19 (any version) from M7 would be more than a minor remold. It'd be 90% new. We'll probably see a VF-0D from them before a short-winged VF-19. Speaking of which--where's the VF-0D?!?!
Mog Posted September 19, 2009 Posted September 19, 2009 Say it with me, BOMBA! BOMBA! BOMBA! BOMBA! BOMBA! BOMBA! BOMBA! BOMBA! BOMBA! BOMBA! BOMBA! The only "BOMBA" I'll ever acknowledge comes from Betamax tapes!
MacrossJunkie Posted September 19, 2009 Posted September 19, 2009 Nice. We all knew that M&M's VF-22s were coming ever since they had their names and other stuff printed on the sticker sheet for Gamlin's 22. I love Max's color scheme. If I didn't already buy Gamlin's, I'd be getting that one.
crasis Posted September 19, 2009 Posted September 19, 2009 (edited) My two "holy grail" valks are on the way!!!!! This has been the best year for Macross products in the history of the franchise, IMO. I can barely keep up! My collection has a particular focus on M&M, so this is a MUST buy. My favorite valk ever in the color schemes of my two favorite characters!!! Tell me you DIDN'T get chills down your spine when Max de-folded on the enemy planet in his VF-22 in episode 44 of M7!! That's one of the most intense and badass moments in ALL of Macross. Edited September 19, 2009 by crasis
UN Spacy Posted September 19, 2009 Posted September 19, 2009 HOT DAMN! All of you watch ep. 44 of M7. You gotta love the Blue Gazer.
Arthurius Posted September 21, 2009 Posted September 21, 2009 Graham, will there be any improvement on the two vf-22 coming out compared to the first version, or will it be same, just different question. Same questions, but on the vf-11C (wait for it to be official, then answer this part i guess). As for the vf-11c, if it does happen, i sure hope the fps are a bit bigger (longer) than for the vf-11a, would make it nicer for sure. Finally, I hope the make the vf-17, before the kai!!!! hmmm, wait a minute, if that would happen, then i couldnt get it, cause no money, so here is praying they make the Kai first!!!
nightmareB4macross Posted September 21, 2009 Posted September 21, 2009 a closer look Finally, the wait could be over.
bluemax151 Posted September 22, 2009 Posted September 22, 2009 HOT DAMN! All of you watch ep. 44 of M7. You gotta love the Blue Gazer. Who needs a task force when you have Max
ruskiiVFaussie Posted September 22, 2009 Posted September 22, 2009 Who needs a task force when you have Max Who needs an army if you have Max..
logos Posted September 22, 2009 Posted September 22, 2009 (edited) Man if they have to start lowering the price for the VF-21/22s. That will be 4 repaints off of the same mold. Basically with shipping some of us would be looking at $400US for Max and Mira....... I love the VF-22 but there is a limit to what I will pay especially if Yamato want us to buy a VF-1S (Stealth?), VF-1D (VR), VE-1, VF-1J (Max) and VF-1J (Mira) this year. I still need to go back and pick up the VF-1 Hik 1A/S, Cannon Fodder's, Max's, and Kaz's at some point and if I don't find a breather in the release schedule somewhere I will never get them......or I'll go bankrupt. Edited September 22, 2009 by logos
Penguin Posted September 22, 2009 Posted September 22, 2009 Excellent. My VF-22 army grows. Now all we need are sound boosters for Milia's. Sing it with me, y'all know the tune... While my wallet gently weeps
Phalanix Posted September 23, 2009 Posted September 23, 2009 (edited) /sigh Damn it, I'm running out of excuses to tell my wife why my collection keeps growing! Haven't got the VF-11B yet, hoping they'll come out with a weathered version or a repaint. Thought the white/yellow GN-DOU VF-11 from VFX2 looked pretty good. I know all these variants are the same mold, just different colours, but damn I just wanna collect them all!! LOL Edited September 23, 2009 by Phalanix
ruskiiVFaussie Posted September 23, 2009 Posted September 23, 2009 figured it out, i'll be getting 2 x VF-11Cs over the next year. The Isamu 11B will have to wait a long time, no biggie.
Kicker773 Posted September 23, 2009 Posted September 23, 2009 I guess i'll wait for the max and miria then get all three VF22s
Phalanix Posted September 28, 2009 Posted September 28, 2009 Just received my two YF-19 Prototypes 3 & 4. These definitely look very nice and the pics we've seen online thus far don't do it justice. Hell maybe I'm biased since I'm a huge YF-19 fan. Will post some pics. Also got the VF22s. Next up, VF-11B - but might wait to see if they do a repaint of it.
DarkEyes Posted October 17, 2009 Posted October 17, 2009 Hi guys, I wonder if the 1/60 Fold Booster & Fast Pack Parts for YF-19 released in 2007 could work on the 1/60 YF-19 Prototype Unit No. 3 Bird of Prey? or there is a new version of the Fold Booster & Fast Pack Parts for YF-19? Thanks!
Uxi Posted October 17, 2009 Posted October 17, 2009 Graham, will there be any improvement on the two vf-22 coming out compared to the first version, or will it be same, just different question. Same questions, but on the vf-11C (wait for it to be official, then answer this part i guess). Yes, Graham, please answer this one. Does Yamato have any plans to ever make the VF-22 landing gear lock into place (and improvement they thankfully did with YF-19 FP)? A little tab to make the wings stay open in fighter would be nice, too.
ff95gj Posted October 17, 2009 Posted October 17, 2009 Hi guys, I wonder if the 1/60 Fold Booster & Fast Pack Parts for YF-19 released in 2007 could work on the 1/60 YF-19 Prototype Unit No. 3 Bird of Prey? or there is a new version of the Fold Booster & Fast Pack Parts for YF-19? Thanks! It works. Think I have taken a couple of shots previously for the BoP.
DarkEyes Posted October 17, 2009 Posted October 17, 2009 It works. Think I have taken a couple of shots previously for the BoP. Thanks for the info, ff95gj! and if you have some time I would like to see your shots, thanks anyway.
ff95gj Posted October 17, 2009 Posted October 17, 2009 Thanks for the info, ff95gj! and if you have some time I would like to see your shots, thanks anyway. please check page 29 of this thread
DarkEyes Posted October 17, 2009 Posted October 17, 2009 please check page 29 of this thread Sorry, I didnt see it before. It is beautiful! nice pics!!!!
Foblander Posted October 22, 2009 Posted October 22, 2009 (edited) For the side skirts on the yf-21 do you pull it out of the tab (inside of side skirt) when in battroid mode so the side skirts are more separated from the legs with more room for play or do you simply not bother with it? I see a little stress mark under one of the metal tabs inside the side skirt but it still holds up pretty well. Don't know if it was always there. Edited October 22, 2009 by Foblander

I see a little stress mark under one of the metal tabs inside the side skirt but it still holds up pretty well. Don't know if it was always there. I always separate it. But it does take scary amounts of force. Held up okay so far though.

(to tell us if they have improved anything on the original brown release?) I have not purchased a 19 yet because I am patiently waiting for someone to give me a good solid reason for dropping that amount of cash on one Valk. I do need one to go with the other 2 Mac Plus Valks though!!!!
