1/60 Yamato VF-4G Web-Exclusive Toy

[Reïvaj]

I wonder if he is talking about the white stripes?

Are they really white?

[Mommar]

Where did you find that pic? The rest of them do really look white (which doesn't bother me either way really.)

[xrentonx]

Are they really white?

Still looks gorgeous either way

It's everywhere.

This is really the wrong thread for this discusion, but in the VF-17 thread this pic was posted. And all the corresponding pics in that post were white also. If they are Blue I will be so happy

[ruskiiVFaussie]

I voted, been so long between visits to the forum, already got my order since I knew it was coming out tho.

[UN Spacy]

Back to the VF-4 news which I just saw on the front page.

Darn...Yamato's only going to release the VF-X variant...not the FB2012 version.

Looks like I'll have to do some customizing.

[nightmareB4macross]

Why doesn't Yamato just offer them as pre-built blank kits in white and grey??

I don't foresee any problems with them doing something like this.

[David Hingtgen]

Well, that saves me a lot of money, though I am disappointed not to have a VF-4 after all these years. Maybe in a couple years they can get the license...

[Kyp Durron]

Screw it, I'm still in, depending on a group buy so I'll actually have a chance at this.

I had a look at the Macross Digital Mission game on Youtube, a video by VFS55, and the VF-4 in that doesn't look too bad. It seemed to have a fair number of red patches or printing, so it may not end up looking too bad. Was i looking at the correct colour scheme?

[ruskiiVFaussie]

impossible to miss this. This sculpt is magnifique! (kisses fingers)

[Ignacio Ocamica]

Yes, I'll get this bird no matter what scheme. Too beautiful bird to pass.

One could pretend it's from another squadron

[ruskiiVFaussie]

I hope we can get an all white like mentioned by g-man, the customs oh the customs.. i'd love a max variant

[xrentonx]

Yeah, this news pretty much doesn't change a thing for me about this. I'm still getting one

[Dobber]

Deffinately WANT one...will I be able to get one, though, is entirely up to yamato's price.

It was rather interesting on how Yamato worded their statement.

They wrote: "we're not doing the Flashback 2012 VF-4, we're doing the VF-X game VF-4, the one which transforms".

I know how you feel cause it's like Yamato is pricing some people out with each subsequent new release. But the VF-4G deserves to be in everyones collection. We all have to start saving a few dollars here and there.

[Lolicon]

Disappointed by the news, but I'm still getting one. I hate having this big gap in VFs between the VF-1 and VF-11.

[Ignacio Ocamica]

We just need the VF-4G to replicate this formation

[Dobber]

I really like that picture, but every time I see it I just keep thinking of some a$$hole tail gating you! Like why is the VF-22 up his ass like that lol!

As for saving up, been trying, but with other things coming out the funds keep going elsewhere...plus 2 kids, house, birthdays, Christmas ect ect..

[MichaelS]

Mine no matter what color! Now how many do I want and will they bring more options later?

[Radd]

I definitely intend to get at least one. Any word yet on how those of us not in Japan will be able to nab some of these?

[jvmacross]

So who has the FB2012 toy license? Bandai?......think it's hard getting one from Yamato?

[David Hingtgen]

I'd be up for a Milia one. (so long as it has a better paint job than her VF-4 in M3 did-----the VF-4's had the worst schemes of all the valks in the game)

[EXO]

Maybe it's just not in the budget to have to pay for a separate license. Acquiring one could send the price of an already expensive toy thru the roof.

[MichaelS]

Maybe they are just testing the waters with this valk since it is obscue if it sales well it could move from web exclusive to main line toy then more color scemes will show up.

[promethuem5]

Well, that saves me a lot of money, though I am disappointed not to have a VF-4 after all these years. Maybe in a couple years they can get the license...

Does that mean you'll stop complaining about it now? We've known what version they were releasing for months! How is this just now a problem?

[Fatalist]

It's a bummer that it's not in the FB2012 scheme, but that's not going to stop me from getting one. It's a VF-4!! It could come in pink and I still wouldn't care. Just take my money Yamato!!!

I'm soooo down for a group buy when/if one ever gets started.

[VF5SS]

At least a gray VF-4 won't potentially yellow in the long term :3

[Jasonc]

I don't have a problem with the version AT ALL. If they make one later, so be it, but I'm probably a small minority that doesn't need another Hikaru fighter to display. Variety is where it's at for me. I still plan to get 2.

[ruskiiVFaussie]

I need every single Hikaru vf/destroid/recreational vehicle ever made Eva!

so all I need is a spartan, golden fan racer, and magical flying bicycle.

[David Hingtgen]

Does that mean you'll stop complaining about it now? We've known what version they were releasing for months! How is this just now a problem?

The fact that they've confirmed that there won't be a FB2012 version coming in the future.

There's a big difference between "the first release won't be Hikaru's" and "we're never going to make Hikaru's".

A similar example would be a Luca renewal VF-25. It hasn't been announced yet, but it could very well be the next one, so some people are passing on Mikhail's, etc waiting for it. But if they were to announce next month that they WON'T be making a Luca renewal--well that changes things.

[VF5SS]

I don't think they confirmed they're never going to make the FB2012 one. Just not in the immediate future. We never knew they would eventually start making M7 toys. And by Macrossworld logic that means a million to one is still a chance.

Or was that from Chicken Run?

[EXO]

Actually that's the definition of chance in any logic. But Yamato has surprised us in the past. I remember the heat people gave others that thought the 1/60 VF-1 should be revisited or even the a whole new 19 sculpt. The Macross in 2 scales and as mentioned the Mac 7 license. The truth is you just can't say that one thing will be a 100% impossibility. A lot of people jump on other's throats about bringing up such a possibility like they are nuts or some crazy fan boy, but then the toy does come out and they want to be the first to review it and can't wait THEIR fanboy drool all over it... "ZOMFG! I luv this toy, it was made just for me!!! everyone else hates Yamato! Macrossworld sux again"
