Graham Posted April 9, 2010 Posted April 9, 2010 the scale are pretty much on par qith each other except for vf-1 which are tiny little bits next to vf-25, Well, the VF-1 is a much smaller plane than the VF-25, so it's only to be expected that the VF-1 toy is smaller than the VF-25. The Macross Compendium gives the following length for the 2 fighters: - VF-1 = 14.23m length in fighter mode. VF-25 = 18.8m length in fighter mode. Graham Quote
jolly-roger Posted April 9, 2010 Posted April 9, 2010 I'm getting a few boxes of series 3 within a few days, and I'm not trying to complete the set (I just want 4 from the 3rd set), so I'll have plenty to trade. I'll post my trade list then. Unfortunately, I'm looking for 6 fro series 2 (0S, 25S, RVF, 1S, 19 and 21) I'll post soon! Just though I'd attach a pic to show ho a little panel lining makes such a big difference... do agree with you that panel lining them makes them more realistic and much more agreable to watch as well Quote
David Hingtgen Posted April 9, 2010 Posted April 9, 2010 It never ceases to amaze me how people don't understand the concept of scale... Quote
Horatio Positronic Posted April 10, 2010 Posted April 10, 2010 Been scouring Ebay some more and once the ones I have ordered arrive I should be only 4 Valks away from a complete set of 1, 2 & 3. MFC1 VF-25F Sheryl (chase) MFC2 YF-19 Isamu VF-25F Tornado Alto MFC3 VF-25F Tornado Super Alto I really, really, really want to find the YF-19, but so far I haven't seen it pop up anywhere outside of the complete set auctions, and those are out of my price range for just a couple of valks I don't already have. It's kinda cool having a forest of little Valkyries on my desk though. Quote
Horatio Positronic Posted April 16, 2010 Posted April 16, 2010 I just got my 50th unique valkyrie from this set last night with 3 more on the way (and then I'll only be missing the 4 in my last post). Does anybody have a complete set of all 3 series? How're you displaying them? Quote
nanoplasm Posted April 18, 2010 Posted April 18, 2010 Been scouring Ebay some more and once the ones I have ordered arrive I should be only 4 Valks away from a complete set of 1, 2 & 3. I am also missing the space Tornado, and it's for sale on ebay for $45+ Quote
Rabidweezil Posted April 29, 2010 Posted April 29, 2010 Any news on a Collection #4? I really hope Bandai continues to put these out. There are still a lot of Valks to make! On another note, I finally got both Series 1 boxes. Out of all 3 sets I'm only missing: Collection #1 VF-19P Patrol VF-25G Michael Collection #2 YF-21 Guld VF-25F Ranka (secret) Quote
boyarque Posted May 5, 2010 Posted May 5, 2010 It never ceases to amaze me how people don't understand the concept of scale... oh, how I know the feeling... Got into an argument about this last time with another fella (a hardcore transformers collector). He was commenting on how the 1/60 VF-1 is smaller to the 1/60 YF19. So, I tried explaining to him in layman term the concept of scale...with a smug face he told me." Bah, nonsense! Now look at that (1/48) VF-1S, now that's the same scale with the (1/60) YF19!" I give up after that... Anyways, back to topic, these fighters are good for display piece, am thinking to get a display case or something... Quote
regult Posted May 5, 2010 Posted May 5, 2010 Don't the Americans usually think European cars are not as big and comfy as theirs? Put a Hummer next to a Mini, that's scale! Quote
Horatio Positronic Posted May 5, 2010 Posted May 5, 2010 55 acquired, 3 to go. MFC1 VF-25F Sheryl MFC2 VF-25F Tornado Alto MFC3 VF-25F Tornado Super Alto I wish I could bring myself to pay what the Ebay sellers want for the Tornado Super ones. Quote
David Hingtgen Posted May 5, 2010 Posted May 5, 2010 Don't the Americans usually think European cars are not as big and comfy as theirs? Put a Hummer next to a Mini, that's scale! Umm no, that's size. They're the exact same scale. Quote
m0n5t3r Posted May 6, 2010 Posted May 6, 2010 i saw a lot of these in HK a few weeks ago... i was actually tempted to get a whole set of the one w/ the VF-4 included for $1k... just too small for my taste. but i have to say, for something very small the details are nice... i just wish that Bandai would put this kind of effort in the paint job and detailing of their RD figures esp. the VF-25s that have absolutely no markings whatsoever. Quote
regult Posted May 6, 2010 Posted May 6, 2010 (edited) Umm no, that's size. They're the exact same scale. EDIT: I was doing it on purpose... Not wanting to extend this discussion any longer, I wanted to hint that things the same scale can be of very different sizes, just like the VF-0 is huge compared to the VF-1, the Hummer is big compared to a Mini, all of them being the same scale.

Horatio Positronic Posted May 11, 2010 Posted May 11, 2010 An extremely awesome Macross World member (I'm not sure if they want to be named) made me an offer I couldn't refuse on the MFC3 version of the VF-25F Tornado. It arrived today, and seems more much more cool than in the pictures. The thing is HUGE! So now I have a complete set of MFC3 and am only missing one each from MFC1 and MFC2. MFC1 VF-25F Sheryl MFC2 VF-25F Tornado Alto Does anybody have, or can anybody take, a picture of the VF-25F Sheryl from MFC1? I had pretty good luck getting my YF-19 with a "want it now" post on Ebay, and I'm thinking of doing the same with the last two I'm missing, but they work best with a picture. Quote
nanoplasm Posted May 11, 2010 Posted May 11, 2010 I am waiting for my trade for a VF-25F space tornado too... anyone see Bariaburu Faita lately? Quote
Rabidweezil Posted May 11, 2010 Posted May 11, 2010 Is this the one you're after Horatio? A macrossworld member traded me for the VF-19P I was missing . As soon as my VF-25G and YF-21 arrive from Ebay I'll only be missing the Series 2 Secret! Quote
Horatio Positronic Posted May 11, 2010 Posted May 11, 2010 Is this the one you're after Horatio? I think that is the one. Thanks! Quote
Horatio Positronic Posted May 14, 2010 Posted May 14, 2010 The text say wave #4 is under development. Yay! More mini-valks! Boo! I'm going to have to figure out more display space. I hope they cover all the missing ones. VF-17, VF-11, VF-171, SV-51, VT-1, VE-1, The Protodevlin ones, as well as extra parts versions they've missed like fold YF-19 and YF-21, SAP VF-2, maybe some sound boosters, and ones from other sources like the VF-9, VF-5000 and VA-3M. That said, if it is like the first 3 sets it'll be mostly variants of the VF-25. Quote
Rabidweezil Posted May 14, 2010 Posted May 14, 2010 Glad to hear they will continue on with this series. Hopefully no more De-Cultures though. Quote
Vostok 7 Posted June 2, 2010 Posted June 2, 2010 Just got my couple boxes of Series 1 and have been playing with the ones I really wanted, the VF-0s. These things are great! Sure they're not perfect, but with a little superglue and a little coaxing, they're really not bad! I'll definitely be getting more. Quote
Graham Posted June 2, 2010 Posted June 2, 2010 Lots of potential still to go. Here's the ones I would really like to see: Macross 7 VF-17S VF-17D VF-17S Milia VF-17S w/FAST Packs VF-17D w/Radome VF-17D w/Fold Booster VF-17T Kai VF-22S Max VF-22S Max w/Fold Booster VF-22S Milia VF-19S w/FAST Packs VF-19F w/FAST Packs VF-11C VF-11C w/Space FAST Packs VF-11C w/Atmospheric FAST Packs VF-11C w/ Space FAST Packs & Radome.

Horatio Positronic Posted June 4, 2010 Posted June 4, 2010 Lots of potential still to go. Here's the ones I would really like to see: <Graham's list> Graham That's a good list. With all the ones you mentioned and the couple of other ones in my post Bandai has enough for a Macross Fighter Collection 4 AND 5. Quote
Horatio Positronic Posted June 4, 2010 Posted June 4, 2010 I finally found and won the second to last of these guys. A VF-25F Tornado from MFC2 is on its way. The ebay seller (briareos) said they were getting rid of a huge chunk of their collection and had some pretty good stuff listed. I'd hate to see anybody abandoning their Macross collection (except when it benefits me), but I'd especially hate to see an MW member do it. Quote
Ghost Train Posted July 1, 2010 Posted July 1, 2010 Volume 4 in November. 6 different flavors of VF-171 love http://ngeekhiong.blogspot.com/2010/07/1250-macross-fighter-collection-vol-4.html (Source: NgeeKhiong) Quote
albeaker Posted July 1, 2010 Posted July 1, 2010 Wow, thats just about my dream set! I never imagined they would have so many non main character planes, and those 3 pack scale ghosts! Quote
Rabidweezil Posted July 1, 2010 Posted July 1, 2010 (edited) Very nice! Although I see 4 (Correction, 5) that look like carry-overs from series 3. I hope they are just place holders or something. Up until now, Bandai has not rolled over the same Valks from one set into another. If not, at least they could make the VF-27 with fold booster into a green one for something different. edited: because counting is hard Edited July 1, 2010 by Rabidweezil Quote

But yes, many others look to be carry overs from set 3 1) VF-25F with Tornado Pack with Space Parts. 2) VF-25S with Armor Pack. 3) VF-27 with Super Fold Booster. 4) RFV-25 with Super Packs. 5) VF-25S with Super parts (possibly, although the VF looks white in the pic not grey). 6) The VF-1 could also be a carry over. So I also hope these are just placeholders. I was hopeing for a Max & Milia VF-22S and some VF-17 and VF-11 love in set 4. Anyway, I will be buying as many VF-171 as I can get my hands on.

Rabidweezil Posted July 2, 2010 Posted July 2, 2010 Slightly bigger pic from AmiAmi "A total of 17 varieties, plus 3 secret, packed in accordance with ratios established by the manufacturer." Looks like the VF-1 has red on it, so it might be a VF-1S Hikaru which hasn't been done yet. But it looks like we might be stuck with the other 5 from series 3 And no pics of the secrets yet. What's the difference between the 2 white VF-171's? 3rd from the left in the second row and 4th from the left in the third. Quote

What's the difference between the 2 white VF-171's? 3rd from the left in the second row and 4th from the left in the third. I think there is the normal unit in the last row then the Alto in the middle and then in the front the Alto unit with missle pack attached? Quote
Graham Posted July 2, 2010 Posted July 2, 2010 Yep, for the 171 variants rear row (from left to right) should be Luca's RVF-171EX and then a VF-171EX (likely either standard w/grey stripe or Alto w/red stripe). Second row from back should be a VF-171EX (either standard w/grey stripe or Alto w/red stripe), then RVF-171 & VF-171. Front row should be Alto's VF-171EX with the extra armor (additional chest and leg armor). Graham Quote
Horatio Positronic Posted July 2, 2010 Posted July 2, 2010 This looks cool and I'm definitely going to get a couple of boxes, but it still seems lacking. I really want to see the Macross Plus valks with fold boosters, more enemy valks, a ghost on a VF-0, some VF-11s and some VF-17s.. There are about a million valks they haven't covered, but my little list there is really the essential ones. Macross Fighter Collection 5 maybe? Oh, and they seem to be forgetting that Michel's VF-25G got a fold booster too. Quote
jolly-roger Posted July 11, 2010 Posted July 11, 2010 yay ghost goodness !!!!! now what would be awesome is to have the macross capital ships in a smaller size liek cosmo fleet !!! , and just noticed they might ahve don a roy focker vf25 on the top corner right of the pic Quote
CF18 Posted July 25, 2010 Author Posted July 25, 2010 Dengeki hobby scan, with full list in text: The VF-25 at the upper right is the "VF-0 camera stand-in version", the VF-1 below it is the "Mihoshi Academy Version". Quote
miriya Posted July 25, 2010 Posted July 25, 2010 I have not gotten any of these but this last set looks like a must! Where do we order? Quote
