David Hingtgen Posted March 14, 2010 Posted March 14, 2010 Despite the fact that I bet I want one more than anyone else on this board, I think the odds of a VF-11MAXL from Yamato are low. Now a 1/100 from Bandai? Decent chance. Quote

hutch Posted March 14, 2010 Posted March 14, 2010 (edited) Now, back to the VF-11... Given the rate of production for the Bandai Hi-Metals, isn't it still highly we'll get such a unique figure (MAXL) through that line? Maybe in like 3 years but by then the line will almost assuredly be dead, right? Edited March 14, 2010 by hutch Quote
David Hingtgen Posted March 14, 2010 Posted March 14, 2010 I think Bandai/BigWest are kind of on a "M7 resurgence" kick, and the old VF100 poster (both of them?) showed/mentioned the MAXL. They wouldn't have done that if there was NO intention of making it--though it may be low on the priority list. Quote
Kicker773 Posted March 14, 2010 Posted March 14, 2010 Why would Yamato be locked out of shows again? Confused due to the apple and lobster comparison..lol... 1/48 price > 1/60 price with broken shoulders gotta love my input lol Quote

Confused due to the apple and lobster comparison..lol... 1/48 price > 1/60 price with broken shoulders gotta love my input lol well, the mf line looks like it was a home run for Bandai so I don't see them stepping away from producing any future Macross shows and I really don't see Bandai handing the toy license over to Yamato. And I think more people will buy any of the hero M7 valks over something like the vf-5000 Quote

And I think more people will buy any of the hero M7 valks over something like the vf-5000 Well here's to hoping it doesn't stay that way for too long. And when the license does change hands we can only hope it will be for the better. Also I would love to buy the VF-5000. Edited March 14, 2010 by DARKWIND Quote
Macross_Fanboy Posted March 16, 2010 Posted March 16, 2010 Well I got my VF-11C from OD today, and does anybody else seem to have a problem getting the gunpod on there straight? Mine has too much play in it and doesn't stay on the centerline. Quote
Dr. Z Posted March 16, 2010 Posted March 16, 2010 Mine stays centered. I'm just having a hell of a hard time deploying the landing gears (especially without having the tires fall off). Quote
derex3592 Posted March 16, 2010 Posted March 16, 2010 Mine stays centered. I'm just having a hell of a hard time deploying the landing gears (especially without having the tires fall off). 2nded. Rear gear is a b*tch. Quote
Macross_Fanboy Posted March 16, 2010 Posted March 16, 2010 I use a small stick to get the landing gear out. I kind of helped that the the tires came off actually. Quote

And I think more people will buy any of the hero M7 valks over something like the vf-5000 Yamato already has some sort of license... at least DYRL and M7, so I'm not getting why they'd be locked out, either... Or are you saying after Basara's 1/60 nothing else? Quote
eugimon Posted March 17, 2010 Posted March 17, 2010 Yamato already has some sort of license... at least DYRL and M7, so I'm not getting why they'd be locked out, either... Or are you saying after Basara's 1/60 nothing else? oh, no, I mean for future Macross shows, not out of what they already have. I'm saying yamato probably isn't going to be able to make valks from any show post Frontier cuz those rights are gonna be locked up by Bandai. Quote
EXO Posted March 17, 2010 Posted March 17, 2010 They released the stranglehold on Seven though... maybe when the next one comes they'll throw Yamato the frontier scraps!!! VF-171!!! Quote
eugimon Posted March 17, 2010 Posted March 17, 2010 true, that's a good point. I wouldn't mind a yamato vf-171 in the slightest! Quote
Macross_Fanboy Posted March 24, 2010 Posted March 24, 2010 Alright, just yesterday I finally transformed mine for the first time and the left leg popped off. Has this happened to anybody else? My VF-11B doesn't have that issue. Can anybody shed light if the legs are supposed to be removable like the YF-21's? It goes back on as easily as it seems to come off. I suppose I can still pose it well if I put it in Battroid. Doesn't suffer in Gerwalk. Quote

He had just opened it and started transforming it and one by one the legs kept falling off. He even said that the 11B didn't have that problem. Quote

He had just opened it and started transforming it and one by one the legs kept falling off. He even said that the 11B didn't have that problem. Not only that, but Kirik brought over his VF-11B to compare the leg attachements of the two and the VF-11B was damn solid. The VF-11C legs can easily be secured using blue painter's tape. Just wrap a it once around the leading outer edges of the swingbar pegs, and it won't be notible once the hips (intakes) are back in place. It will be just as secure as the VF-11B. Damn you, Yamato. So far, I've been Yamato-ed twice. Quote
M'Kyuun Posted March 25, 2010 Posted March 25, 2010 true, that's a good point. I wouldn't mind a yamato vf-171 in the slightest! Seconded. Comparing gears between Yamatos and Bandai, I know the gears are far easier to extend on my VF-27 than on pretty much any of my Yamato valks. The gears aren't painted on my VF-27, so the tradeoff is less accuracy, but far easier to get the f'n things out of their wells. Passed on the VF-11C, but kinda sucks that the legs pop off. Never was an issue with my VF-11B, which, IMHO, is a damned near perfect toy. Quote
Kicker773 Posted March 25, 2010 Posted March 25, 2010 wow i guess i'm glad i held out on getting them... maybe wait a lil longer til they fix the issues.. Quote
QuinJester Posted March 25, 2010 Posted March 25, 2010 You know what time it is kids? That's right! I feel like I should quote Kicker773's sig, which would make this thread far too meta. Quote
anime52k8 Posted March 25, 2010 Posted March 25, 2010 (edited) why do I have the feeling that I've seen this all before? http://www.macrossworld.com/mwf/index.php?...st&p=833597 OMG! That's horrible! Can this f*ckin company not get ANYTHING right?? That's really NOT something I needed to watch since mine is arriving today or tomorrow! CRAP....now I'm gonna have nightmares! ALL VF-11'S HAVE DYSFUNCTIONAL HIPS!!! THE WORLD IS COMING TO AN END!!! RUN FOR YOUR LIVES!!! Edited March 25, 2010 by anime52k8 Quote

THE WORLD IS COMING TO AN END!!! RUN FOR YOUR LIVES!!! LMAO at this thread.....but seriously, I'm gonna go home and transform my 11 C and SEE if the leg falls off!!!!! Quote
Rabidweezil Posted March 25, 2010 Posted March 25, 2010 I got my 11C a while ago but didn't transform it. After reading the leg problems I gave it a go and the leg pulled off. Not fell off, but pulled off pretty easily. That didn't happen with the 11B. So how does a companies QC go backwards? Quote
eriku Posted March 25, 2010 Posted March 25, 2010 So is something actually broken or does the leg just pull off and slide back on? Quote

KiriK Posted March 25, 2010 Posted March 25, 2010 So is something actually broken or does the leg just pull off and slide back on? it pulls off and slides back in, sorta like the legs on the 1/48's. Not broken per say, but i wonder why they didn't make these as solid as the 11B. the 11B is still one of most solid yamato toys i own Quote
nightmareB4macross Posted March 25, 2010 Posted March 25, 2010 So is something actually broken or does the leg just pull off and slide back on? The leg slides back on. But, during transformation the legs fall off without even touching them. It just needs more friction on the contact points. Like I said before, BLUE PAINTERS' TAPE will remedy this. Quote
EXO Posted March 25, 2010 Posted March 25, 2010 Vhat ees this blue painter's tape you speak of! I suppose they are from a planet of blue painters! Quote
eugimon Posted March 25, 2010 Posted March 25, 2010 Vhat ees this blue painter's tape you speak of! I suppose they are from a planet of blue painters! Don't you know that Delvians make for the best painters? Quote
DARKWIND Posted March 30, 2010 Posted March 30, 2010 So far so good on mine legs stay on firm and stable Quote
eyesonme78 Posted March 30, 2010 Posted March 30, 2010 So far mine is gd. And i am loving this Valkyrie as well as my Max VF-22s hahahah talk about valkyrie addiction!! Quote
Renato Posted March 30, 2010 Posted March 30, 2010 Alright, just yesterday I finally transformed mine for the first time and the left leg popped off. Has this happened to anybody else? Check it out. http://www.macrossworld.com/mwf/index.php?...st&p=833491 And when I got it back from Yamato, the floppiness on the joint was fixed, but the leg itself still pops off easily. Not as easily, but more than it should. Quote
troyness Posted March 31, 2010 Posted March 31, 2010 Anyone who owns a VF-11C ....I don,t know if this has been asked before- *is there fixed posed hands? *what are the shoulders like? Thanx. I,m lovin, this, murdering my wallet this wk for a VF-11C ,hope a max follows!!! Quote
