slide Posted June 9, 2016 Posted June 9, 2016 Hrm, I got that image from a retweet on the Macross World Twitter stream. I don't read Japanese and given the timing, I assumed it was about the Wave version. I'll be happy if the price on the actual Wave comes in lower. Apologies for any confusion. hmmm... I seem to have run my mouth based on hubris, and Unconfirmed intelligence [i can't read Japanese either lol]... maybe I SHOULD run for politics Make it wave... I'll buy as many as still making my mortgage payment allows Quote
Cesar Enrique Posted June 9, 2016 Posted June 9, 2016 I'm confused, are we getting a 1/72 wave vf-4 kit or not? Quote
electric indigo Posted June 9, 2016 Posted June 9, 2016 To my understanding, Wave is making the kit, just the material used to illustrate this news was misleading. Quote
Jefuemon Posted June 9, 2016 Posted June 9, 2016 (edited) I'm confused, are we getting a 1/72 wave vf-4 kit or not? Yes, we are getting a new VF-4 kit from Wave. No, it is not the one featured in that ad. Edited June 9, 2016 by Jefuemon Quote
seti88 Posted June 9, 2016 Author Posted June 9, 2016 So that price maybe...LOWER! *jumps for joy?* Quote
Big s Posted June 9, 2016 Posted June 9, 2016 I doubt the kit price will change much if at all. Quote
slide Posted June 9, 2016 Posted June 9, 2016 So that price maybe...LOWER! *jumps for joy?* We're all hoping as hard as we can. Quote
cool8or Posted June 9, 2016 Posted June 9, 2016 I'm just waiting for goose neck on Wave design... This is the most important thing to me. Quote
wm cheng Posted June 9, 2016 Posted June 9, 2016 Hmm, at first I was estatic - 1/72 scale too, I love that scale (although I'm getting a bit old for it now). Then the 6,800Y price hit... and now I'm cautious. If its a great sculpt then I might bite, otherwise I'll have to wait for Hasegawa (would have been my first choice if I had my wish). Quote
NZEOD Posted June 9, 2016 Posted June 9, 2016 now we just need the VF-17/171 series to complete things Quote
slide Posted June 10, 2016 Posted June 10, 2016 now we just need the VF-17/171 series to complete things yes, yes we do... HINT HINT HASEGAWA! Quote
VF-1A Grunt Posted June 10, 2016 Posted June 10, 2016 I'm real excited to see this model finally coming in plastic kit form. The price is pretty high, which means I'll probably buy only one or two, rather than four or five if they were at Hasegawa prices. I'm almost more excited to see the Master File book though, because I feel like this VF hasn't gotten a lot of attention, so I'm really curious to see what they come up with in terms of squadron schemes and variants.

Jefuemon Posted June 13, 2016 Posted June 13, 2016 Do we think this will include a pilot? Wave included pilot figures with all the Destroid kits, and all the 1/100 VF-1's. I don't see why they wouldn't include one with the VF-4. Quote
no3Ljm Posted June 13, 2016 Posted June 13, 2016 vf4_model Hmm, 68K yen, that's definately more than $50 US. I'm curious on the 1/8 Minmay figure on the bottom. Looks like Mikimoto will be the artist for its package illustration for that Minmay figure. Looking forward to it. Quote
Big s Posted June 13, 2016 Posted June 13, 2016 (edited) Wave should include a pilot, but then again they didn't with the first releases of their new votoms kits. They released the rabidly dog with an opening cockpit, but with no seat or pilot. Then six months later they released the same kit with parts for down form a seat and a pilot. They did the same with the scopedog turbo custom and now there is a preorder for the kit with the extra parts. Edited June 13, 2016 by Big s Quote

Good to know, I'll have to make sure to look for that info when they release more details Quote
slide Posted June 13, 2016 Posted June 13, 2016 (edited) ETA? Nothing official yet that I'm aware of... I would expect this calendar year or the 1st q of next... I would assume Macross related kits sell beter if they release while there's a series/movies/etc going on Edited June 13, 2016 by slide Quote
Valkyrie Posted June 13, 2016 Posted June 13, 2016 Very cool!! I would have liked to see Hasegawa make it instead, but seeing a 1/72 VF-4 injection kit finally being made is incredible. I'll be in for at least two of them. As for the article with the Y6800 price, it looks to me like it's for the the old Musasiya resin kit. Its original price was also 6800 http://www.macrossworld.com/macross/models/musasiya/musasiya_main.htm Quote

My bad. new pic? http://www.taghobby.com/1-0/1-2/wave-%E6%8E%A8%E5%87%BA-%E6%A8%A1%E5%9E%8B-172%E3%80%8Amacross-flash-back-2012%E3%80%8Bvf-4-lightning-iii-fighter-mode/ looks like Pilot with proper FB2012 helmet... RELEASE IT AND TAKE MY MONEY!!! Lol you need the baby throwing money gif..the render looks ooishii tho... Or maybe this... by its own famous VF-4 pilot in his old Valk. Quote
wm cheng Posted June 14, 2016 Posted June 14, 2016 I think its just a shot of the 3D Model - the canopy reflections and shadows seem too clean/perfect. Quote
TMBounty_Hunter Posted June 14, 2016 Posted June 14, 2016 That is still the screenshots form the Modellers broadcast that announced it and yeah that's a 3DCG model Quote
ARK 3 Posted July 16, 2016 Posted July 16, 2016 would love to see more of how you made this kit. looks nice that's I say, would like to see more of you technique on this kit. Quote
VF-1A Grunt Posted July 21, 2016 Posted July 21, 2016 I'm definitely getting antsy about this announcement - partly because I've always wanted an affordable, plastic model of the VF-4, but also because I'm excited to see Wave's first 1/72 Valkyrie after the nice job they did on the 1/100 scale models, not to mention their Destroids (where is that Spartan, anyway?). Hopefully they'll have an update soon. Quote
