Chronocidal Posted October 12, 2011 Posted October 12, 2011 Ok, wow, that last pic is beautiful. Is it a darker shade of blue, or is that just me? I may have to get the whole group now Also here's hoping for the rest of sound force. Quote
UN Spacy Posted October 12, 2011 Posted October 12, 2011 As odd as the design is I think I would get a VF-11MAXL. Delta wings ftw. But that would mean I would have to get the 19 Kai as well.. Mandarake has a VF-19 for: 12,000 yen: http://ekizo.mandarake.co.jp/shop/en/item_s-738429.html 13,000 yen: http://ekizo.mandarake.co.jp/shop/en/item_s-738538.html For that price...I'd hop on it if I were you.

David Hingtgen Posted October 13, 2011 Posted October 13, 2011 I'd sell most all my other valks to get a MAXL Kai. (as in Mylene's, not the quasi-canon non-Mylene MAXL variant) Quote
Uxi Posted October 13, 2011 Posted October 13, 2011 Both Mylene and non-Mylene MAXL would be nice... but yeah, definitely want that Gunpod for my YF-19FP. They should throw that in the foldo-boosta set. I'd get another one for my YF-21 and/or VF-22. In fact, they could throw in a VF-11B Isamu, too to make me veeeeery happy. Seriously, yamato just sell some pilot and accessory packs. Quote
anime52k8 Posted October 14, 2011 Posted October 14, 2011 Bring on the robo-boobies! mmm... roboobs. Quote
1/1 LowViz Lurker Posted October 14, 2011 Posted October 14, 2011 (edited) yay the gunpod looks normal. Personally I think emerald and diamond force is enough for me. I would rather have enemy mecha over booby valk or the pink pecker vf-11. haha I like the music in mac 7 but priority for me i getting the conventional weapons valks. I'm surprised no milia repaint of vf-11. Edited October 14, 2011 by 1/1 LowViz Lurker Quote
VF-18S Hornet Posted October 15, 2011 Posted October 15, 2011 Holy crap am I glad I preordered this!!! Dammit that blue is SEXY. Agreed I can't wait to get my hands on this. It has been over ten years in the waiting to get my hands on a new VF-19S. Quote
David Hingtgen Posted October 15, 2011 Posted October 15, 2011 I'm surprised no milia repaint of vf-11. Me too, as she's got no less than 2 of them--the M3 and M7 versions. It's got 10x the "presence" of some of the releases Yamato's done. Quote
Mommar Posted October 15, 2011 Posted October 15, 2011 Agreed I can't wait to get my hands on this. It has been over ten years in the waiting to get my hands on a new VF-19S. Then you deserve this a hell of a lot more than I do. I never liked (and still don't) Macross 7 and just recently, because of the Master File book, was able to appreciate this design. It's pretty much just convenient for me this is coming now. The real celebration is for all of you guys. Quote
Mommar Posted October 15, 2011 Posted October 15, 2011 Me too, as she's got no less than 2 of them--the M3 and M7 versions. It's got 10x the "presence" of some of the releases Yamato's done. I'd prefer if they made an M3 version and had a Max variant as well. Though that's because I'm more partial to blue than red. Quote
VF-18S Hornet Posted October 15, 2011 Posted October 15, 2011 mmm... roboobs. LOL and LOL some more. Quote
CF18 Posted October 17, 2011 Posted October 17, 2011 Me too, as she's got no less than 2 of them--the M3 and M7 versions. It's got 10x the "presence" of some of the releases Yamato's done. The long time 1:48 M&M VF-1 (a year or two ago) and 1:60 M&M VF-22 staying in the 50% off sale bin (currently on HLJ and Amiami) probably don't motivate Yamato. Quote
VF5SS Posted October 17, 2011 Posted October 17, 2011 Yeah there's a question of notoriety when it comes to the VF-11 variants. Most of the games they were featured in are over a decade old now and aren't really desirable by a lot of collectors. Even the GNU Dou VFX2 variants were really slow movers. Plus I don't feel people are willing to go to the mat for the VF-11 as much as other Valkyries. Quote
Loop Posted October 18, 2011 Posted October 18, 2011 oh. I'd rather have the armor pack. I'd rather have the complete sound force and the armor pack Quote
anime52k8 Posted October 19, 2011 Posted October 19, 2011 So how much longer till this comes out? I want it... I NEED IT!!! Quote
Mommar Posted October 19, 2011 Posted October 19, 2011 So how much longer till this comes out? I want it... I NEED IT!!! They say "Late November" and Yamato stuff usually ships the last Friday of the Month so it's a safe bet somewhere around the 25th of November. Quote
VF-18S Hornet Posted October 19, 2011 Posted October 19, 2011 (edited) Arrgh Black Friday, and I will be out of town, heading home to Pittsburgh for Thanksgiving. Better start saving up now Edited October 19, 2011 by VF-18S Hornet Quote
Andy NYK Posted October 23, 2011 Posted October 23, 2011 put off by the price... getting this instead... loose from jp. Quote
Andy NYK Posted October 23, 2011 Posted October 23, 2011 ... Wrong gun! yes, bandai didn't make the right gun and shoulder for the 19s... they used the gun and shoulder from the kai... Quote
ron5864 Posted October 23, 2011 Posted October 23, 2011 Seems like Yamato is going after Macross 7 mecha recently. How about some Protodeviln mecha like the Fz-109A/F? Quote
VF-18S Hornet Posted October 25, 2011 Posted October 25, 2011 put off by the price... getting this instead... loose from jp. UGH!!! And that is why I didn't go with that in the past. It's too ugly, what was Bandai thinking. Quote
Shaorin Posted October 25, 2011 Posted October 25, 2011 (edited) UGH!!! And that is why I didn't go with that in the past. It's too ugly, what was Bandai thinking. tell me about it. at one time, i REALLY wanted that thing. in fact, the -19kai version was my very first MACROSS toy. i picked it up for $49.95 at a comic/collector's shop in my hometown of PORTLAND, OR. back around 1997ish. it was/is a homely bitch, but it was the only variable Valk toy i had, for FAR too long. as such, it got a LOT of love. i even panel-lined the thing, over a decade ago. it also got PLENTY of wear and tear. to the point, in fact, where just about everything that wasn't ratcheted was loose as all hell, until fairly recently, when i dismantled the entire beastly old thing, and tightened all those worn old joints with my usual electrician's tape method. today, with my new Yammie YF-19 1/60v.I handily taking the torch, that fugly old thing is back in it's equally worn box and put away. i'd offer it for sale for cheap, but i doubt anybody would want such an ugly toy, regardless of how nice-n-TIGHT i managed to make those old joints...

Omegablue Posted October 25, 2011 Posted October 25, 2011 I am tempted... Nice Valk and all, but my dislike for Macross 7 puts me off. Quote
Archer Posted October 26, 2011 Posted October 26, 2011 FFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUU I sold my 1/60 VF-19 Kai (hated the aesthetics), but now I want this!!!!!!! I hope thats normal . Did anyone mention anything about improved ankles, cuz that was one of my biggest issues with the Kai. Sorry if this has been answered before.... Quote
kamadoma Posted October 26, 2011 Posted October 26, 2011 ^ yes, the ankles will be improved, same goes for the Gerwalk joint being reinforced. Quote
Black Valkyrie Posted October 27, 2011 Posted October 27, 2011 UGH!!! And that is why I didn't go with that in the past. It's too ugly, what was Bandai thinking. It was 1995. Yes I'm also put off by the price but what can I do. Can Yamato sell them unassembled, like the VF-1 ? Quote
UN Spacy Posted October 27, 2011 Posted October 27, 2011 FFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUU I sold my 1/60 VF-19 Kai (hated the aesthetics), but now I want this!!!!!!! LOL...hated the aesthetics...be honest...you just hate Basara. Quote

Archer Posted October 28, 2011 Posted October 28, 2011 LOL...hated the aesthetics...be honest...you just hate Basara. Dude, how could you tell so easily? Well to be honest, I thought the design could tide me over, but red + singing dude + singing dude [did I mention singing pilot] undermined the whole experience for me.... Quote
Graham Posted October 28, 2011 Posted October 28, 2011 New Dengkeki Hobby magazine has lots of pics, including fighter with gunpod attached and battroid holding gunpod in cool poses. Graham Quote
Reïvaj Posted October 28, 2011 Posted October 28, 2011 Cool! Looking forward to seeing those pics... and then the toy itself! Quote
Raptor One Posted October 28, 2011 Posted October 28, 2011 Me too, I'm so impatient lol. Only scans available so far are some transformers stuff. Bleh Quote
