Actar Posted May 21, 2012 Posted May 21, 2012 (edited) VF-17Dはスーパーパックとのせっとで。単品は現在検討中ナリ、です。 Translated properly: The VF-1D comes in a set together with the super pack. A separate release is being considered. Edited May 21, 2012 by Actar Quote
Mommar Posted May 22, 2012 Posted May 22, 2012 No confirmation on what the price in JPY will be on the bundle, right? I'm betting somewhere around 26,900 or $340 US. The S alone was roughly $300, I'm willing to bet the extra packs will add somewhere between $20 to $40 to the price. Quote
ps99042 Posted June 2, 2012 Posted June 2, 2012 Since Bandai keeps jacking me left and right, I used the refund from my canceled YF-29 preorder to finally throw down for the VF-17S on eBay for $282 shipped. Quote

ErikElvis Posted June 2, 2012 Posted June 2, 2012 In my opinion, since I just picked up the 29, the 17s is overall a better looking solid toy. Quote

Shin Densetsu Kai 7.0 Posted June 3, 2012 Posted June 3, 2012 Messed with my 17S more and more, love this toy. Looks a lot better with more stickers applied imo. For battroid mode, do you guys pull the feet all the way out? Quote

For battroid mode, do you guys pull the feet all the way out? How stickered up is yours? Even though I'd like to sticker mine more "real-world" like every time I picture the thing in battroid all of those stickers on the tail that suddenly become it's forearms looks like a bunch of tattoos to me and I back out of doing it.

ErikElvis Posted June 4, 2012 Posted June 4, 2012 Without looking through the thread does anybody have a problem with the torso rocking back and forth in battroid? slightly annoying when you think you have a good pose and it rocks back 1/4 inch. Quote

My torso rocks a little bit. I don't think it's a quarter of an inch though. Quote
valhary Posted June 19, 2012 Posted June 19, 2012 still with the clown nose pass only hope the fastpack sold separately Quote
UN Spacy Posted June 19, 2012 Posted June 19, 2012 Clown nose? What the hell are you talking about? ...and yeah...I'd like a stand alone Super Pack set. Quote
UN Spacy Posted June 19, 2012 Posted June 19, 2012 Uhhhhhh...yeah. That's how it's supposed to be. http://www.macross2.net/m3/macross7/vf-17d-nightmare.htm Quote
lechuck Posted June 19, 2012 Posted June 19, 2012 Na, the head isn't doing it for me either. I just do not remember the -17D being that ugly in M7. Quote
Knight26 Posted June 19, 2012 Posted June 19, 2012 My son just fell in love with those pictures, he wants one so bad Quote
Ignacio Ocamica Posted June 19, 2012 Posted June 19, 2012 I don't like the head either, but this one's going to stay in fighter/gerwalk, so I'll preorder it Quote
ErikElvis Posted June 19, 2012 Posted June 19, 2012 the animation to real life transfer of the head just didn't seem to come out right. But either way Ill be getting this to display fighter. Big boy S stays in battroid. Quote
Phalanix Posted June 19, 2012 Posted June 19, 2012 Head looks a little odd to me too, but I much prefer this over that pinapple head on the 17S. Might pick up this version instead. Quote
Frogze Posted June 19, 2012 Posted June 19, 2012 This is definitely going to join my Macross pile! Quote
Jasonc Posted June 19, 2012 Posted June 19, 2012 I'll be slow in getting two of these for Diamond Force. If FPs are separate, definitel in for a few sets. Quote
pud333 Posted June 19, 2012 Posted June 19, 2012 The MSRP is like 30,000 yen... Honestly, I love Macross, but I don't know how much longer I can keep justifying buying these, when they're essentially turning out to be a mortgage payment. I'm sure in the not too distant future, I will be priced out of these toys. Quote
Twoducks Posted June 19, 2012 Posted June 19, 2012 (edited) Tampo? Hello, tampo? Where are YOUUUUUUUUUUOOO??? TAAAAAAAAAAAAMPOOOOOO!?!? +-30000 yen price tag yet no splashes of the paint I see on all the line art... Edited June 19, 2012 by Twoducks Quote
VF5SS Posted June 19, 2012 Posted June 19, 2012 That price listed is with Japan's 5% sales tax so it will be closer to just 30,000 yen for the rest of the world hafta apply stickers like a serf Quote
zulu Posted June 19, 2012 Posted June 19, 2012 Did anybody notice on the last pic (battleroid backside) there is a hinge on the leg armor. Could this be a hatch that opens to display mini missiles? Sorry if this has already been discussed at length in a previous thread. Does anybody have pics with this open? Quote
VF5SS Posted June 20, 2012 Posted June 20, 2012 Yes the leg packs have banks of missiles underneath that panel. Yamato showed off an unassembled bundle of Fast pack parts with the missiles clearly visible Quote
Loop Posted June 20, 2012 Posted June 20, 2012 (edited) this is what I'm talking Uhhhhhh...yeah. That's how it's supposed to be. http://www.macross2....d-nightmare.htm It really should have a more diamond like shape, not a circle. The MSRP is like 30,000 yen... A conversion on XE is showing that to be $380 USD before shipping. I'll be slow in getting two of these for Diamond Force. If FPs are separate, definitel in for a few sets. Jason, I am not 100% sure, but from the pics, this does not look like the VF-17D we are really waiting on. The pics still look like the stripes are white, which would make this the plain ole VF-17D seen here: http://www.macross2....d-nightmare.htm The two that I need are seen here: http://www.macross2....iamondforce.htm That price listed is with Japan's 5% sales tax so it will be closer to just 30,000 yen for the rest of the world hafta apply stickers like a serf Guys I love Yamato's Macross product, but damn.... at nearly $400, I would at least think they could tampo print a freaking kite on the thing. I'm kinda disappointed that they decided to not do the Diamond Force Color VF-17D. Will we ever see the Diamond Force VF-17D? I am hoping so, but with Yamato's track record of repaints and trying to milk the mold as hard as they can, I think it will happen. The question is when. Please correct me if I am wrong, but "these are not the VF-17D's you are looking for" if you want to complete Diamond Force . Edited June 20, 2012 by Loop Quote
VF5SS Posted June 20, 2012 Posted June 20, 2012 I'm kinda disappointed that they decided to not do the Diamond Force Color VF-17D. What are you talking about this is Diamond Force. They even mention it's a companion piece to the VF-17S Diamond Force use toy. Quote
xrentonx Posted June 20, 2012 Posted June 20, 2012 ...something about light blue stripes, I guess? I don't care. This thing looks gorgeous! Quote
MacrossJunkie Posted June 20, 2012 Posted June 20, 2012 Hmm, I like the drawn line art 17D head, but it doesn't seem to translate well into 3D I guess. I don't know what it is. I think the visor may be too small. The price with the FAST pack doesn't sit well with my wallet either. I may just end up getting a 17S at some point afterall. Quote
