pud333 Posted December 30, 2010 Posted December 30, 2010 Just got my 1/60 v.2 VF-1A Max DYRL type (the one without the Super/Strike Parts) There's something I noticed with mine. It doesn't have the tinted canopy (yes, mine's clear) and it has the newer crotch similar to that of the 1/48 and other more recent 1/60 v.2. I have the one with the super parts and it also has the clear canopy and new crotch. Same with the Kakizaki, and hopefully, the Hikaru if they ever get around to re-releasing it. Quote
mechaninac Posted December 30, 2010 Posted December 30, 2010 The 3 I purchased (VF-1A Max TV, VF-1A Kakizaki TV, and VF-1J Hikaru) all have clear canopies as well and, I assume (these are my first V2s), the latest crotch and shoulder designs, for which I'm glad as it means I've avoided the reported pitfalls of the earlier releases. Although the soap bubble tint was a neat effect, having a clear canopy means there is one less thing to be a potential problem and allows for the VF-1 to better blend with the other 1/60 VFs, and it makes my VF-11B stand out as a singularly unique specimen... IMO, Kawamori San's most elegant design. Quote
kamadoma Posted December 30, 2010 Posted December 30, 2010 I was really expecting mine to have the old crotch system and the tinted canopies since they were the unbundled VFs. I guess there were re-releases of the unbundled VFs that came with clear canopies and updated crotches. Quote
moose Posted January 2, 2011 Posted January 2, 2011 Hey did they ever make a 1/48 " Ben" tv version all I can find is the Max. Quote
Ignacio Ocamica Posted January 3, 2011 Posted January 3, 2011 Hey did they ever make a 1/48 " Ben" tv version all I can find is the Max. Yes, 1/48 TV Kakizaki was a Macross Chronicle exclusive like Max. Quote
moose Posted January 4, 2011 Posted January 4, 2011 Yes, 1/48 TV Kakizaki was a Macross Chronicle exclusive like Max. I looked high and low on the net for it any idea were I can get one, I hear it's very rare. Quote
GianS Posted January 5, 2011 Posted January 5, 2011 yipee! I got the first of my orders today... big box sitting here at work..containing the VF-11C, YF-19 and Fold Set for YF-19 and YF-21. Rest of order stuff yet to be shipped... Quote
m0n5t3r Posted January 11, 2011 Posted January 11, 2011 (edited) finally got my Roy TV 1S and Max TV 1A... i just love how the new crotch minimizes the collar sticking out... i think i'm now done with the VF-1. bring on the VF-19s and VF-17s. EDIT - i wish Yamato had made the visors for all the newer VF-1s the same brighter green like on the Roy TV 1S. that's probably the remaining nitpick i have with these v.2s.

ruskiiVFaussie Posted January 11, 2011 Posted January 11, 2011 I still need a 1D, then a VE, and THEN i'm done, still got Roy TV-1S on the way... last v.2 was Hikky 1J, and i still need a GBP-1S for him still. Quote
Frogze Posted January 11, 2011 Posted January 11, 2011 yipee! I got the first of my orders today... big box sitting here at work..containing the VF-11C, YF-19 and Fold Set for YF-19 and YF-21. Rest of order stuff yet to be shipped... That's exactly the same order I got the other day. While I'm very happy with the VF-11C, the YF-19 "renewal" was disappointingly loose The arms couldn't hold a pose by themselves, even less with a gunpod in hand. The tail fins were floppy in fighter mode, the knees couldn't hold a A stance pose without spinning around, and I believe every single articulation and hinge (except the ratcheted ones) was completely loose on the one I got. After that I almost expected to find the crooked gunpod stowing problem... Some superglue and lots of patience fixed all these problems though Quote
GianS Posted January 12, 2011 Posted January 12, 2011 jeepers Frogze..sorry to hear that... I haven't transformed mine... but will be on the lookout for this and will be hoping to get tips from you should I run into the same issues. Quote
pud333 Posted January 14, 2011 Posted January 14, 2011 (edited) Sale is back on. Edit: Never mind. People already know. Edited January 14, 2011 by pud333 Quote
Agent-GHQ Posted January 14, 2011 Posted January 14, 2011 Sale is back on. Edit: Never mind. People already know. Does anyone know whether the VT-1 Super O 1/60 has the orange tinted canopy? Quote
Frogze Posted January 14, 2011 Posted January 14, 2011 Does anyone know whether the VT-1 Super O 1/60 has the orange tinted canopy? I'll let you know when I get mine. I hope it does because it would probably also have the revised shoulders fix Quote
