MacrossJunkie Posted February 26, 2014 Posted February 26, 2014 Personally, aside from the obvious placement of the Diamond Force insignia and the UN Spacy kites, I took some inspiration from actual F-117's, which is where some of those stickers were derived from or taken straight off of. In addition, I looked at the scant few pics that can be seen of the VF-17 from the master file books for further reference. Quote
Mommar Posted February 26, 2014 Posted February 26, 2014 Funny, I looked at a lot of F-117A pics before I did my decals as well. Quote
arrow Posted August 14, 2014 Posted August 14, 2014 I want to get a 17F to add to my S. How much do they go for now ? Quote
arrow Posted August 14, 2014 Posted August 14, 2014 Ya, the D. I'm getting rusty with my Macross. Quote
mechaninac Posted August 14, 2014 Posted August 14, 2014 Ya, the D. I'm getting rusty with my Macross. Or your fingers are getting slippy... Quote
Falcon18 Posted August 14, 2014 Posted August 14, 2014 I want to get a 17F to add to my S. How much do they go for now ? There're still 17s on hkcollectibles if you're interested.. https://www.hkcollectibles.com/ Quote
valhary Posted November 20, 2014 Posted November 20, 2014 last night transformed my 17s and look that I found it again yamato did one more time so that I recommend check your nightmares Quote
Scream Man Posted January 2, 2015 Posted January 2, 2015 Mine is fine. i just ordered myself a 17D with FP's. Paid a bundle sadly. One day i hope to get a second so i have Diamond Force Quote
DuffCon Posted January 3, 2015 Posted January 3, 2015 Love my 17s, paid 150-ish shipped on eBay. Great example of the peak of Yamato engineering; metal ankles and great articulated hands. Didn't like the ton of stickers at first, but after seeing examples of other schemes, it inspired me to do mine. I'll post it up when I'm done. Quote
Scream Man Posted January 4, 2015 Posted January 4, 2015 150?! You lucky bastard I paid a crap tonne more than that! Quote
DuffCon Posted January 4, 2015 Posted January 4, 2015 150?! You lucky bastard I paid a crap tonne more than that! Yeah, it was about as much from HKC (959 HK$) with shipping. But this was a U.S. seller so it was much faster Quote
Loop Posted January 4, 2015 Posted January 4, 2015 Scream, maybe he got the standalone and not the gift set that includes the FP's? I would think there might be a difference in pricing, I have not checked though. Quote
wmkjr Posted January 4, 2015 Posted January 4, 2015 (edited) I think it was $140-ish for the 17S and $260-ish before shipping for the 17D+ FP set at HK but the 17S sold out recently. Edited January 4, 2015 by wmkjr Quote
Loop Posted January 4, 2015 Posted January 4, 2015 My bad, for some reason I thought we were talking the 17D with FP vs without. Quote
wmkjr Posted January 4, 2015 Posted January 4, 2015 (edited) It's funny though the reg 17D vs super set is like $16 difference. And my bad. The 17S was $120-ish. Was thinking of getting that and the super parts. Would've saved $100 bucks vs the D. I don't mind the looks and color differences. Edited January 4, 2015 by wmkjr Quote
DuffCon Posted January 4, 2015 Posted January 4, 2015 Correct, this was just the 17s. The price was compareable to HKC. I didn't know they'd sold out; also sold out of the 19k recently. Quote
Scream Man Posted January 4, 2015 Posted January 4, 2015 oh ok, yeah the 17S is much cheaper. Unfortunately I want the D's to have a full D Force, so I'm stuck paying all of the monies. Unless someone out there is good enough to sell me one cheap? Quote
Loop Posted January 4, 2015 Posted January 4, 2015 Yeah you got to get the double DD's to complete diamond force. I did it upon release of the D variants, I got the gift sets that came with the FP's Quote
Scream Man Posted January 5, 2015 Posted January 5, 2015 That's what I have coming now. Might afford another one in a year if I'm lucky. Quote
Gundam@EFSF Posted September 27, 2015 Posted September 27, 2015 just found it at a shop at usd 220, good? Quote
ChaoticYeti Posted September 27, 2015 Posted September 27, 2015 Ok price for a 17S. Awesome price for a 17D. This thing has really sharp edges. It will make you bleed. Quote
Gundam@EFSF Posted September 27, 2015 Posted September 27, 2015 Ok price for a 17S. Awesome price for a 17D. This thing has really sharp edges. It will make you bleed.its 17d, so it is worthy? Quote
valkryenov Posted September 27, 2015 Posted September 27, 2015 its 17d, so it is worthy? It's a very nice price for a D especially if it's the FP bundled one. Quote
ChaoticYeti Posted September 27, 2015 Posted September 27, 2015 its 17d, so it is worthy? Other than the fact it could be bundled with the fast packs if it is a D, the only difference between the S and the D are the color of the stripe and the design of the head. Quote

spanner Posted September 28, 2015 Posted September 28, 2015 there is a "B" VF-17S on Jungle.. http://jungle-scs.co.jp/sale_en/?page_id=121&id=1155503 Quote
ChaoticYeti Posted September 28, 2015 Posted September 28, 2015 thanks Yeti, just grabbed cool stuff BTW, no stand again... 2015-09-28 14.17.jpg So, it was the bundle? Nice pick up. Quote
Mommar Posted September 28, 2015 Posted September 28, 2015 Holy crap, $220 for a D with Fast Packs is a damn good price. Quote
Gundam@EFSF Posted September 28, 2015 Posted September 28, 2015 transformation has taken me 2 hours.... Size is much bigger than Bandai's 171... which brand is not serious in scale? Quote
treatment Posted September 28, 2015 Posted September 28, 2015 transformation has taken me 2 hours.... Size is much bigger than Bandai's 171... which brand is not serious in scale? DSC_0007.jpg Bandai DX-Chogokin is non-scale. Quote

DSC_0007.jpg It is pretty intricate for how beefy it is, isn't it? I know in-universe the 171 was intended to be a more streamlined version of the 17. That accounts for some of the size difference. They are both 1/60-ish. Quote
ArchieNov Posted September 28, 2015 Posted September 28, 2015 (edited) Yamato's 17, 19, 21/22 series do not scale properly in battroid mode. They're either too tall or too short when placed side by side with each other or their other 1/60 valks like the VF-1. In fighter mode, they look okay together. Ever since the YF-29, Bandai's 1/60-ish valks all scale almost perfectly well with each other in all modes. Edited September 28, 2015 by ArchieNov Quote

Since when any other valks supposed to be the same height as the VF-1 in battroid mode? Quote
