Kicker773 Posted May 17, 2012 Posted May 17, 2012 not buying anymore valk with optional parts.. i'll let them magical umpa lumpas make them.. Quote
nightmareB4macross Posted May 17, 2012 Posted May 17, 2012 I'm very surprised and shocked to here you state this. I figured you were a hardcore completist with the aim to own every type and variation known to exist. Tsk, tsk, tsk.... Quote
Kicker773 Posted May 17, 2012 Posted May 17, 2012 Don't tease me. I gotta start savin for the VF4. Gotta think cases. Unlessss these things come with new box art work or etc. Then maybe... Just maybe. Quote
Jasonc Posted May 18, 2012 Posted May 18, 2012 Don't tease me. I gotta start savin for the VF4. Gotta think cases. Unlessss these things come with new box art work or etc. Then maybe... Just maybe. That's why I'm putting like $20/week in a home savings case. By the time preorder for the VF-4 is around, I'm good to go. Quote
Majestic Posted May 18, 2012 Posted May 18, 2012 (edited) They don't sell 1/60 fast packs individually, do they? I'm guessing I'll have to buy a full 1/60 VF with fast packs if I want this Cavaliers to have them... Edited May 18, 2012 by Majestic Quote
Mommar Posted May 18, 2012 Posted May 18, 2012 They don't sell 1/60 fast packs individually, do they? I'm guessing I'll have to buy a full 1/60 VF with fast packs if I want a this Cavaliers to have them... They still sell them on ebay... for exorbitant prices. You're likely to only find DYRL versions as well. TV versions are extremely rare. Quote
Mechapilot77 Posted May 18, 2012 Posted May 18, 2012 The color seems fine to me. looks much better in this picture, still darker than the original proto images but i like it alot, maybe better even. too bad its delayed to June. Quote
Mommar Posted May 18, 2012 Posted May 18, 2012 It looks like they darkened up the blue to make it better reflect the animation colors. Quote
Shin Densetsu Kai 7.0 Posted May 19, 2012 Posted May 19, 2012 It looks like they darkened up the blue to make it better reflect the animation colors. Fine with me, looks pretty good! It was fairly dark in the animation. Left an impact on me back in the day though, even though the ARMD they were one was decimated, THOSE VALKYRIES looked bad ass. Quote
Ignacio Ocamica Posted May 21, 2012 Posted May 21, 2012 The color is awesome!!!! Pics courtesy of GA Graphic Quote
DarrinG Posted May 21, 2012 Posted May 21, 2012 After the war moved to space a lot of valks would have been sprayed this color scheme. Who would want to be white and red in all that blackness, sticking out like a target?? Quote
Vi-RS Posted May 21, 2012 Posted May 21, 2012 The color is awesome!!!! Pics courtesy of GA Graphic The final color from actual production is sweet! Quote
MyClone Posted May 21, 2012 Posted May 21, 2012 Y'all finally got me. Just preordered this one, my first 1/60 v.2 Yamato. Thanks, MyClone Quote
Mommar Posted May 22, 2012 Posted May 22, 2012 Interesting post by MyClone. Some people only want different/variant colors or non-mainline colors. I guess we're the freaks of the world man! Quote
derex3592 Posted May 22, 2012 Posted May 22, 2012 Caved in and pre-ordered from HLJ....dammit...swore my Angel Bird would be the LAST VF-1. lol. Quote
Dutch Posted May 22, 2012 Posted May 22, 2012 I like the new color, but the prototype color was nice to. I've got two of these on pre-order. Quote
MyClone Posted May 22, 2012 Posted May 22, 2012 Interesting post by MyClone. Some people only want different/variant colors or non-mainline colors. I guess we're the freaks of the world man! Got me dead to rights, man! I love Valks, but I'm a bit tired of the traditional color schemes. Best, MyClone Quote
kamadoma Posted May 25, 2012 Posted May 25, 2012 Maybe this one's release date was pushed back because they decided to paint those option parts for this one too and include them already. Quote
mechaninac Posted May 25, 2012 Posted May 25, 2012 But, other than the bit of beige for the seat cushions, the option parts aren't painted; they're shot in the appropriately pigmented ABS. Maybe, if the release date has indeed been postponed, they decided to run a batch of side covers color keyed to the Cavalier... here's hoping anyway. Quote
kamadoma Posted May 25, 2012 Posted May 25, 2012 Ooops yeah, I actually meant a different color to use for the plastic of the side covers. Quote
Vi-RS Posted May 26, 2012 Posted May 26, 2012 The color is awesome!!!! Pics courtesy of GA Graphic I just realized that the shoulders have black markings which was not included in the initial poster. Quote
typhoon Posted May 26, 2012 Posted May 26, 2012 I'm really loving this Valk, I think it's great to see some unique schemes coming to light. Quote
ErikElvis Posted May 28, 2012 Posted May 28, 2012 I just want to vent. I pre-ordered this valk and the DYRL CF but I don't think I will get any more VF-1's unless Yamato releases the GD fast packs! I really need a 1/60 Roy too. Quote
eugimon Posted May 28, 2012 Posted May 28, 2012 don't know about the fast packs but roy w/ add-on bits is up for pre-order http://www.amiami.com/top/detail/detail?gcode=TOY-RBT-2373&page=top%2Fsearch%2Flist%3Fs_cate3%3D986%24s_originaltitle%3DThe+Super+Dimension+Fortress+Macross%24pagemax%3D100%24getcnt%3D0%24pagecnt%3D1 Quote
reddsun1 Posted May 29, 2012 Posted May 29, 2012 (edited) For those seeking even more obscure "official" color schemes from the show to put on a Yamato wish-list: there's the cannon fodder brownies with -1D heads from ep: Virgin Road... There's also a VF-1S with yellow -1J striping, but haven't been able to find a screen cap yet. My guess is: it's the result of just another color-check(?) error, was probably meant to be Hikaru in Roy's inherited Skull-1? But still; it's yet another one-off that could be considered canon--it was in the show, baby! Edited May 29, 2012 by reddsun1 Quote
DarrinG Posted May 29, 2012 Posted May 29, 2012 The animation in that Virgin Road episode literally makes my skin crawl. I try to forget it, pretend it doesn't exist, much like Alien 3 and 4 -- Or Terminator 3 and so on... Quote
Old Man Posted May 29, 2012 Posted May 29, 2012 I try to forget it, pretend it doesn't exist, much like Alien 3 and 4 -- Or Terminator 3 and so on... You don't like Alien 3??? That's one of my favorites... Quote
DarrinG Posted May 29, 2012 Posted May 29, 2012 You don't like Alien 3??? That's one of my favorites... I think you might be in the minority. I saw it only once but have never wanted to see it again. By contrast I've seen Aliens like 10 times... But anyway - I would not go by Virgin Road for any cannon mechs or color schemes... Quote
anime52k8 Posted May 29, 2012 Posted May 29, 2012 (edited) For those seeking even more obscure "official" color schemes from the show to put on a Yamato wish-list: there's the cannon fodder brownies with -1D heads from ep: Virgin Road... Maybe they're Brownie VF-1J's with really badly drawn heads. Edited May 29, 2012 by anime52k8 Quote
Agent-GHQ Posted May 30, 2012 Posted May 30, 2012 I think the orange tinted canopy would contrast the dark navy bluw well! Come on Yamayo bring back that tinted canopy Quote
reddsun1 Posted May 30, 2012 Posted May 30, 2012 Maybe they're Brownie VF-1J's with really badly drawn heads. I'd considered that as well. But after a closer look, I think those look more like the squared 1D heads. I know: it owes to the time constraints imposed on the show's animators/producers more than anything else. IIRC, some eps were "farmed out" to different studios, and they were under great pressure to meet deadlines for air dates? Quote
connor99 Posted May 30, 2012 Posted May 30, 2012 Well, here's hoping the push back on the release date also meant that YAMATO's gonna keep the paint scheme for all the parts. Those landing gears stick out like a sore thumb because they're in the traditional off white color. Quote
Vi-RS Posted May 30, 2012 Posted May 30, 2012 Well, here's hoping the push back on the release date also meant that YAMATO's gonna keep the paint scheme for all the parts. Those landing gears stick out like a sore thumb because they're in the traditional off white color. I thought that is the standard in aircraft industries which the mechanics can spot grease or leak from the landing gear bay? Quote
Mommar Posted May 30, 2012 Posted May 30, 2012 Yeah, I don't understand the problem with the landing gear color. They're all pretty much the same colors internally. Quote
