mechaninac Posted November 3, 2013 Posted November 3, 2013 It's just crap cell phone pics taken against the rules. We don't even have clear pictures to antagonize. When has that ever stopped anyone here on MW? Quote
skullmilitia Posted November 3, 2013 Posted November 3, 2013 I'm not trying to discourage, I'm just saying.. I'm a higher class kinda complainer. I'll wait for Bandai's pretty pics to rip it apart like a Grizzzly finding a toddler! Quote
VF5SS Posted November 4, 2013 Posted November 4, 2013 Somebody was asking what the other paint schemes are and here's the two that aren't just stripe variations. The first three are just red, blue, or green stripes. Quote
mechaninac Posted November 4, 2013 Posted November 4, 2013 I really dig that medium/dark gray version. Quote
MacrossJunkie Posted November 4, 2013 Posted November 4, 2013 I like those two schemes even better. Especially the first one. Quote
raptormesh Posted November 4, 2013 Posted November 4, 2013 I like the first one without the purple stripes. Reminds me of thundercracker for some reason. Quote
MacrossJunkie Posted November 4, 2013 Posted November 4, 2013 I like the first one without the purple stripes. Reminds me of thundercracker for some reason. You mean Skywarp, right? Quote
raptormesh Posted November 4, 2013 Posted November 4, 2013 You mean Skywarp, right? Yes I stand corrected. Quote
Guest davidwhangchoi Posted November 4, 2013 Posted November 4, 2013 i'm still wondering if it can stand without the stand... i'm looking forward to seeing it off the stand... that rack is huge... Quote
Gakken85 Posted November 4, 2013 Posted November 4, 2013 I like how Arcadia's push is forcing Bandai to do more releases of different planes. That competition is out there. This is def. the best looking fighter mode coming out next year. Quote
VF5SS Posted November 4, 2013 Posted November 4, 2013 that rack is huge... Woah buddy. let's not say lewd things about a lady like the YF-30! She likes to think of herself as "ample." Quote
Guest davidwhangchoi Posted November 4, 2013 Posted November 4, 2013 Woah buddy. let's not say lewd things about a lady like the YF-30! She likes to think of herself as "ample." i knew somebody would catch it... nice legs though Quote
xrentonx Posted November 4, 2013 Posted November 4, 2013 I like the first one except for the purple stripes. That said, I'd still pick it up even with the purple in there Quote
Kurisama Posted November 4, 2013 Posted November 4, 2013 Are you kidding? That Skywarp scheme is hawt! Quote
David Hingtgen Posted November 4, 2013 Posted November 4, 2013 I would buy either of those schemes in an instant. Purple stripes=awesome. Blood red valk with black? Awesome. Will definitely wait/hope for one of these. Quote
skullmilitia Posted November 4, 2013 Posted November 4, 2013 Ah man, even the repaints are buying worthy. Hopefully Bandai will respect our wallets and.... Ha! Quote
close313 Posted November 4, 2013 Posted November 4, 2013 Unless bandai wants to waste development costs for this new mold, we ought to see at least one of those repaints. Im yearning for the red one. Since my Frontier collection are only the YF-29 and VF-27 , i'd like to continue the red theme Quote
Scyla Posted November 4, 2013 Posted November 4, 2013 I don't know if Bandai will release more variants from the game. Heck we don't even know if this is a web exclusive or not (or do we?). As far as I know Macross 30 didn't sell that much units. Neither Leon nor the YF-30 appeared in the show or the movies. I'm amazed to see Bandai releasing the YF-30 after all, I'm not taking any changes on this one since the stock YF-30 might be all we get. Much like the YF-29 Ozma custom the black/gray and purple YF-30 looks great and I wouldn't mind getting a second one. Quote
Falcon18 Posted November 4, 2013 Posted November 4, 2013 Love those 2 schemes. I'll be tempted to pick one up if they did those repaints. Quote
YF-29 Durandal Posted November 4, 2013 Posted November 4, 2013 Somebody was asking what the other paint schemes are and here's the two that aren't just stripe variations. The first three are just red, blue, or green stripes. IMG_0715.JPG IMG_0717.JPG I just love the first one with the purple stripes but the red one looks good too. Quote
David Hingtgen Posted November 4, 2013 Posted November 4, 2013 Changing colors costs almost nothing. If they sold 5, it'd be profitable for them. And the paint apps etc seem to be the same as the Alto-esque one, so there'd be no new paint masks needed either. Of course, Bandai hasn't done a green renewal VF-27 yet either, so... Quote
Scyla Posted November 4, 2013 Posted November 4, 2013 I'm not saying it not possible but unlikely. Probably depending on how well the first one is selling. I love the Skywarp-esque black and purple scheme and would prefer to have this in my collection over another white plane with black and red accents. Especially since I don't have any emotional attachment to the Leon character and just want a cool looking Valkyrie. I say it again: Bandai I would buy the one with the purple accents. In fact I would buy any purple colored Valkyrie. Quote
Black Valkyrie Posted November 5, 2013 Posted November 5, 2013 The dark one is awesome, this is best VF since VF-1 and YF-19. Quote
Falconkpd Posted November 5, 2013 Posted November 5, 2013 Based on previous DX toy offers, does anyone have any guesses on when pre-orders might be available? To be honest, this will be the first Valkyrie I actually preorder because I'm very new to the hobby. Hell, I only just got my first Yamato VF-1 a few months back. Quote

lancalot Posted November 5, 2013 Posted November 5, 2013 Most probably they make a white, black and yellow , skull 1 scheme like the 30th yf29 .... if any repaints for it ...as that is a tried and tested theme that will sell Quote
MacrossJunkie Posted November 5, 2013 Posted November 5, 2013 It would be tempting to get two and repaint one like one of those two schemes above. I like that they also have a camo pattern on them. Quote
Valkyrie addict Posted November 5, 2013 Posted November 5, 2013 Very nice schemes. Would buy them. The YF-30 is begging for a digital camo scheme. Quote
XFJ-01A Posted November 5, 2013 Posted November 5, 2013 I don't know if Bandai will release more variants from the game. Heck we don't even know if this is a web exclusive or not (or do we?).

Much like the YF-29 Ozma custom the black/gray and purple YF-30 looks great and I wouldn't mind getting a second one. Well, It is the design made specifically for the 30th anniversary, I couldnt see a reason why Bandai wouldnt decide to comemmorate it. That being said, I predict a Tamashii online only sale going on, with the possibility of it going as fast as when the VF-4's came out. I can expect everyone will be fighting to get one of these, well...everyone who really wants one that is. Quote
skullmilitia Posted November 5, 2013 Posted November 5, 2013 We can only hope it's a Tamashii exclusive. It will tell us their future plans. It's the sell the first one normal, we should expect repaints. If they sell it as a Tamashii exclusive, still expect repaints but with the caution it might be a one time deal. Quote
XFJ-01A Posted November 5, 2013 Posted November 5, 2013 What was the period gap between the YF-29 Alto and the 30th Anniversary? Maybe a wait period similar along those lines? Quote

Newtype78 Posted November 5, 2013 Posted November 5, 2013 skywarp and thrust, is that you? :-P My thoughts exactly! Quote
Matt Random Posted November 6, 2013 Posted November 6, 2013 I'm really starting to like this one despite the back bulge and sherpa pack. I bet it would look better with a VF-25 gunpod. Quote
