Yamato 1/60 Super/Strike parts + Option parts reissue

[DarrinG]

I think the M&M valks will come the option parts as well, and we'll see a TV FP release around the same time later next year.

I'm so glad the TV stuff will come second as I need as much time as possible to save up...

[Benbot]

I got into Macross only after the super parts went out of production and became hard to find, so this is great news for me. Any idea if this is going to be a limited release or if we'll see these in pretty much all the big online retailers of Macross items?

[MikeRoz]

I find it so strange that so many people need SSP's I have 5x of the separate ones and 1x set that came with the VF-1S super strike plus bundle.

You have more SSPs than I have valkyries.

Only the unpainted VF-1D, VF-4 and 1:2000 micro VF-1 has the red "やまとWEB限定販売商品" text on them, so all the other listed items are regular release.

That is a cool timeline. Wow, 2008-2010 was a heck of a period for Macross fans. So many releases over that time frame. 2011+ ain't too shabby either.

Very nice indeed. I can't believe it's been 12 years since the initial release of the 1/72 scale MAC plus toys.

It makes me feel old is what it does

LOL, I am with you man. The sad part is I skipped all the Yamato valks up until the 2006 releases and just thinking back 6 years is making me feel old

[Swoosh]

1/72 YF-19 is the toy that bring me back to Macross universe.

[ff95gj]

I am glad that I got into the game in time in 2008.

Oh it's only 4 years for me...

[Valkyrie Magnus]

My first yamato vf-1 was around 2002 i picked up the v1 1/60 Max VF-1j then got the 1/48 VF-1A Hikaru. So that makes it 10 yrs for me collecting. I did stop in 2008 but have come back!

[Kanedas Bike]

1/72 YF-19 is the toy that bring me back to Macross universe.

It's the toy that got me into the Macross toy universe.

I still remember seeing the Toycom ads in comic books back in the day, remember my disappointment in the constant delays and eventual cancellation and how I got my first Yamato off of Yahoo! Auctions (the US site) for around $ 75 shipped.

On topic I'll probably skip these VF-1 Super/Strike part sets, again, never really saw the need. I prefer the bundles and not every VF-1 I buy needs additional armor or parts.

[Raptor One]

I remember drooling over pics of the 1/72 YF-19 back in the day too. I thought it looked sooooo good haha. Pity I was too young to afford one, then again maybe that wasn't such a bad thing

[3D-Brainx]

I also started in 2008, with a 1/60 YF-19. I'm a little sad I missed 8 years a joy but on the other hand, seen how well the toys evolved, I'm also glad I started in 2008

[Mommar]

Looks like I got lucky too. I didn't bother to start really looking for these toys until 2008-2009 as well.

Same here, I knew about Robotech and I had bought one of those old Revell fully transformable VF-1 model kits at an antique store but it was missing parts so I came on here way way back when (2000-2001) in order to find out more about it and try to get parts. Around the same time I found the Toycom ads for the YF-19 and had to have it. Placed a pre-order with a member on here who had a shop and the rest was history.

My dad and grandpa ended up getting me the whole Mac+ set in Singapore from a member on here who had a shop there, that was probably 2002 when the VF-11 came out.

[Kanedas Bike]

Lucky, all my purchases have come via internet. To this day I wish I had a close friend or family member, or better yet the means to travel and pick up all the cool stuff I want.

And that first hunt, it's what led me to Macross World to begin with.

VF-19A ravens

It would look awesome in 1/60 scale.

VF-19A ravens

It would look awesome in 1/60 scale.

I still can't figure out why they won't do one of those? I've wanted one ever since they did the 19 in 1/60 scale. Now they have a beautifully engineered 19 version, and they need to get that out.

[Gian]

I don't know either, we are sure they have the rights do to the VF-X valks.

It'd be an instant purchase for me.

[Chronocidal]

Well, I'd rather see a Ravens VF-11 personally, but either would be nice. I don't want to see any more YF-19 variants until they make a v.2 YF-19 though. The old one just doesn't hold up anymore.

[Mommar]

I thought the 19A was still in the same body style as the YF-19? The Raven's style wouldn't work on the later body styles.

An 11 would look really cool though.

[Omegablue]

Anyone know when they're up for pre-order? Can't find them on Amiami or HLJ?

[Valkyrie Magnus]

Not yet I keep checking the sites for updates

[IXTL]

Hobby Search pre-order open.

[troyness]

So I guess there,ll be no option parts for the cavaliers, as to not want to piss off people who,ve already bought one?

The VF-1S,s & 1J that aren,t pictured with super/strike ...aren,t coming with super/strike?

Sorry the thread topic is abit vague , can anyone who knows or can read japanese clarify?

Thanx.

[VF5SS]

They're probably going to do the TV style Super Parts for the VF-1J

[Dutch]

Got my order in, one VE-1 and four strike parts sets. October is going to be really expensive.

[Chronocidal]

Woo, can finally tentatively check the VE-1 off my "to get" list. Only getting two sets of strike packs though, since that will cover my DYRL CF, and one other random VF-1.. possibly a custom, once I build my kits.

[Hikuro]

Ugh, looks like I'll have to hold off on getting the iphone 5 me thinks. I really n eed these super packs. but I have to wait until payday to preorder these.
