Shin Densetsu Kai 7.0 Posted May 3, 2012 Posted May 3, 2012 Max 1A's and 22's are still very easy to come buy. His 1S and 1J variants are much harder, if near impossible. His S was in stock as back order at anime-export up until a few months back. I should've ordered it. Wonder if Gattai Hobby can track it down. There are also a few on ebay but the asking price is $225+. Now his J, that one is a lot harder to track down. I remember the Bandai Max and Milia reissues not selling well either. It just makes me believe even more that DYRL? is favored in Japan over the TV series. Even Kaiyodo made the Revoltech Max and Milia as exclusives, while Skull Team was mass market. Maybe they thought Max/Milia wouldn't sell? Quote
Mechapilot77 Posted May 3, 2012 Posted May 3, 2012 to be honest i'm surprised its not been reissued. I'm SUPER glad i jumped on them as they were about to become hard to find. i think i bought the pair from toy-wave back a couple months after they were first released? yeah the 1/48s were shelf warmers so i guess thats why the limited run, but given the demand now i'm sure they could make a nother small run and sell them all out.

Plasticgoose Posted May 5, 2012 Posted May 5, 2012 His DYRL 1A was re-released pretty recently with boxed-in strike packs, along with Kakizaki's. These were right after the change over to the non-coated canopies. But I don't think is 1S or TV 1J have ever had a re-release. Maybe the M&M valks just don't have as big a fan following in Japan? I actually was going to pass on Max and Kaki's DYRL valks entirely until the strike bundles were put on sale at HLJ. I might get his 1S someday if it's re-released, but I've already got 17 of the things now, and that 18th spot is reserved for a VE-1, and then I'd need one more for an even 20. So I am somewhat new to the Yamato Line and was wondering if you could help me clear up some confusion. I personally like the M&M models but I get confused on the models and versions. What is the difference between the 1A, 1J, and 1S variants? Also as far as I know right now, Yamato has is on V2 of the 1/60 release, and never released a V2 of the 1/48. In addition, what are the differences between the DYRL? M&M models vs. the standard series versions. I know these are noob questions but could someone help clear this up for me? Quote

In the series, squadron leaders pilot the S model, flight team leaders pilot the J, and cannon fodder and low ranking pilots get the A. 1/48 V2: correct, never made. DYR/? Vs TV series: different cockpit display(HUD in TV cockpit, none in DYR/? Cockpit), TV versions come with swappable animation accurate rounded hands, DYRL? Valks come with blocky swappable hands. DYRL? Main characters. Valks are all Skull Team, for TV, Hikaru, Kakixaki and Max are part of Vermillion with Hikaru moving to Skull after Roy dies. Milia joins Vermillion after marrying Max in the TV series. In DYRL? She never pilots a valkyrie, just her red Qrau Quote
Vi-RS Posted May 6, 2012 Posted May 6, 2012 A short answer to that is Dyrl is a souped up movie version of the long tv series with refreshed Valkyries variants and main characters. Quote

In the series, squadron leaders pilot the S model, flight team leaders pilot the J, and cannon fodder and low ranking pilots get the A. Isn't the 1S (FF2001D) engine the one with the "slots" (like TV Roy VF-1S) while the others (particularly 1A) had visible turbine detail in the feet (FF2001)? Or was that a block evolution? The Master File shows both on page 79 but not exactly sure what it's saying there. Quote
Kicker773 Posted May 6, 2012 Posted May 6, 2012 Picked up an extra set with no boxes though. I will just display them in battroid mode. Quote

I wasn't under the impression that the engines were ever meant to look different, and it was just animation inconsistency. But I havent read the Master File's take on it either. Quote
DarrinG Posted June 27, 2012 Posted June 27, 2012 Are they version 1? Or are they version 2? Either way its "1000% Genuine" ha.... http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=261054200345&ssPageName=ADME:B:SS:US:1123#ht_5527wt_883 (its amazing how close the V1s will look to the V2s if you pose them just right...) Quote
Froy Posted June 27, 2012 Posted June 27, 2012 (edited) Those are v.2 photos, but why the seller show photos of the v.1 boxes (all photos but the boxes one are from several sites)? Maybe he is trying to trick buyers in to thinking they are buying v.2 while they are really getting v.1. Also $271 USD seems a low price for a Max and Millia VF-1J v.2 set. Edited June 27, 2012 by Froy Quote
DarrinG Posted June 27, 2012 Posted June 27, 2012 But he is correct to say they are 1,000% Genuine Yamato... either way... Quote
mass driver Posted June 27, 2012 Posted June 27, 2012 (edited) They're probably the version ones and the seller took the wrong stock photos from google. Also stay FAR away from esthertool or cherrytab or whatever the hell they call themselves now. That ebayer doesn't do a good job packing his toys. Edited June 27, 2012 by mass driver Quote

Swoosh Posted June 28, 2012 Posted June 28, 2012 The V.1 Box pic was from a Yahoo HK Auction. Seller didn't say V.1 or V.2 but every pic showing is the actual pic of the V.1 set he is selling Quote

I agree, stay the hell away from them no matter how cheap thier things are, their packing is the worse Quote

Dr.Danhattan Posted October 9, 2012 Posted October 9, 2012 2 are up on eBay right now... Then end soon though. Quote
Dr.Danhattan Posted October 9, 2012 Posted October 9, 2012 Both of these ended from a different seller a week ago, both for around $380 each. Quote
MikeRoz Posted October 9, 2012 Posted October 9, 2012 Sorry, I didn't realize it was your listing. Quote
Plasticgoose Posted October 20, 2012 Posted October 20, 2012 Thanks for the info. Although I am waiting probably like many people that Yamato will reissue the M&M like the VE-1 and also hopefuly re-release the VT-1. I would think Yamato would because they are doing reissues with option parts and since M&M models are Blue and Red, they would need to reissue these both with option parts in the respective colors. The VE-1 reissue has grey option parts which are different from the white on the VF-1 and VF-1D so it would make sense. Hopefully 2013 brings some surprises. Quote
Jasonc Posted October 20, 2012 Posted October 20, 2012 I thought Yamato peaked in here from time to time. I think just about everyone wants these (at least the multitudes that missed out the first go round). That's easy money in the bank at this point. Quote
DarrinG Posted July 30, 2014 Posted July 30, 2014 I think with the Arcadia GBP announcement folks will be in luck soon with a M&M re-release. Until then -- enjoy these pics. My Millia rainbow canopy is a mess, so you Arcadia buyers will get to avoid that issue at least . . . Quote
David Hingtgen Posted July 30, 2014 Posted July 30, 2014 If the rainbow coating has deteriorated to the point that it looks bad---strip it off. Quote

I was like: arcadia is doing it yay! where is my preoder button! Nice pics though Quote
dapro Posted July 30, 2014 Posted July 30, 2014 Is arcadia releasing M&M? Anyone one got inside info? Quote
skullmilitia Posted July 31, 2014 Posted July 31, 2014 Yes, MrK said they were up in the front of planned releases. But nothing outside of that. Quote
jenius Posted July 31, 2014 Posted July 31, 2014 So like the end of next year at the earliest art this rate. Quote
Chronocidal Posted July 31, 2014 Posted July 31, 2014 If the rainbow coating has deteriorated to the point that it looks bad---strip it off. If it's anything like what's wrong with my Millia's canopy, it's actually the exact opposite.. they put the coating on so thick, you can barely see through it, and it'll take a lot more work than usual to remove. Quote
VF-Zer0S Posted July 31, 2014 Posted July 31, 2014 Yes, MrK said they were up in the front of planned releases. But nothing outside of that. What else releases did he say were planed? Quote
caslon Posted July 31, 2014 Posted July 31, 2014 YEah arcadia, please do us a favor by reissue these Ace pilot couple set again to fulfill our dreams! Thank you:) Quote
charger69 Posted July 31, 2014 Posted July 31, 2014 If the rainbow coating has deteriorated to the point that it looks bad---strip it off. How to? Quote
