Gakken85 Posted March 26, 2013 Author Posted March 26, 2013 Yeah, I've been scouring the underbell of the internet to find one. It's the only Valk from + that I like. Haha. Quote

Uxi Posted March 26, 2013 Posted March 26, 2013 Good kill. Damn never got a VF-11C. I wanted two. Quote
Gakken85 Posted March 26, 2013 Author Posted March 26, 2013 I'm def. a minimalist when it comes to Toys. No stickers and smooth lines. I think its the most minimal toy out there. haha Quote
ff95gj Posted March 26, 2013 Posted March 26, 2013 Yeah, I've been scouring the underbell of the internet to find one. It's the only Valk from + that I like. Haha. But... Isn't VF-11C in M7 and VF-11B in M+? Quote
Gakken85 Posted March 26, 2013 Author Posted March 26, 2013 (edited) I haven't seen 7 Yet. haha I think the C is in the background in + Edited March 26, 2013 by Gakken85 Quote
Cdisdope Posted March 26, 2013 Posted March 26, 2013 Any leads to where I can pick up a VF-11C? Quote
Gakken85 Posted March 26, 2013 Author Posted March 26, 2013 I haven't seen one in a long time. I think I saw one on Ebay back in January. Quote
Valkyrie addict Posted March 26, 2013 Posted March 26, 2013 the VF-11C was the cannon fodder of Macross 7, it was never in Macross Plus, they were VF-11B or VF-11 drones. I've search everywhere but have not found an 11C, funny when I bough the 11B it was right before the whole Yamato backrupcy erupted and I prioritize the 11B thinking it would disappear faster than the 11C, now I see 11B everywhere but no 11C unless it's for a completely unreasonable price Quote
Gakken85 Posted March 26, 2013 Author Posted March 26, 2013 I can't believe people actually bought the fire Valk. It's so stupid looking. haha. It looks like Ronald McDonald swallowed a gobot or something. Quote
funkymonkeyjavajunky Posted March 26, 2013 Posted March 26, 2013 Where did you find the VF-11C? Quote
dapro Posted March 26, 2013 Posted March 26, 2013 You got it from that huge for sale thread. haha Quote
Gakken85 Posted March 26, 2013 Author Posted March 26, 2013 Yup. I stalked it like Roiquonmi Glaug. Lost a lot of sleep as I am on the east coast. Quote
Renato Posted March 26, 2013 Posted March 26, 2013 I can't believe people actually bought the fire Valk. It's so stupid looking. haha. It looks like Ronald McDonald swallowed a gobot or something. Whatever. I actually think the Yamato VF-19 (any version) is the greatest Macross toy ever made. It looks perfect in every mode, is rock solid with tons of die-cast heft and gimmicks EVERYWHERE. The opening Battroid hatch is like a magic trick. The only issue is the ankle design. Quote
Arthurius Posted March 26, 2013 Posted March 26, 2013 ah man, where did you get the vf-11c, and how much!!!! In plane fighter mode, it is one of the best looking ones to me, along with the yf-21 of course . And I like the C version better, looks little a space shuttle. Oh and congrats on the VF-0a, I love that one in Batroid mode, it is like a low vis, but nicer to me Quote
Gakken85 Posted March 26, 2013 Author Posted March 26, 2013 Thanks! One of these modding Jeniuses on the boards should buy some VF-11b's and paint them white. haha Quote
derex3592 Posted March 26, 2013 Posted March 26, 2013 Congrats! I have the 11C and it is a sweet toy. Have to disagree about the Fire Valk though...I guess Basara is a love/hate thing! Regardless though...the 19's are the best engineering Yamato has done IMHO, followed closely by the VF-4G. Quote
Gakken85 Posted March 26, 2013 Author Posted March 26, 2013 Too bad they dipped it in clown red Quote
dizman Posted March 27, 2013 Posted March 27, 2013 If you don't like the red then definitely go for the 19S,F or P. Like Renato said it's one of Yamato's best designs and you should own at least 1. I'll probably pick up another VF-19 before they disappear. Quote
derex3592 Posted March 27, 2013 Posted March 27, 2013 The 19F is just beautiful. Probably my favorite Mac7 Valk. Highly recommended. Quote
Gakken85 Posted March 27, 2013 Author Posted March 27, 2013 (edited) If you don't like the red then definitely go for the 19S,F or P. Like Renato said it's one of Yamato's best designs and you should own at least 1. I'll probably pick up another VF-19 before they disappear. Honestly it goes way beyond the colors. It's a line art issue with me. The fighter mode is somewhat tolerable, but I really dislike the batroid mode. The big cone sticking out of the chest just looks... odd to me. It just looks cheap and strange to me for a Valk growing up with the original Macross. The first time I saw it I was like.. wow that's one ugly robot. Then The legs are too thick and the heads are like football helmets. The fighters themselves are too back heavy. It reminds me of Hikaru's stunt plane in the first episode. Nothing intimidating about it. Like a flying turkey. Haha. I appreciate that it's well designed, but it doesn't make me want to buy one. Edited March 27, 2013 by Gakken85 Quote
