spacemanoeuvres Posted January 15, 2021 Posted January 15, 2021 (edited) Excellent. I hope we get the VE-1 and Cannon Fodder at some point. Low Viz Woodland, Low Viz Color, and Stealth would also please me and destroy my bank account They should pull a Yamato and release giant gift sets (with SSP) as well as stand alone. I have no clue what I would do with my Yamato's after that tho haha Edited January 15, 2021 by spacemanoeuvres I like toys Quote

CF is most likely with possibly Alaska Base and Virgin Road if Bandai does go ahead with it. Right now, we're stuck with the Yammie 1/48 variants for now, or unless there's a TWE DX offering for those obscure versions. Edit: A possible DX VE-1?? Like what you mentioned; Where are we going to do with the Yamacadia ones? Edited January 15, 2021 by borgified Quote

Is there a 1/48 VE-1? I want to say I've seen conversion kits but not 100% Quote

When Bandai finally decided on selling those colored GBP's they've shown a few months ago, it's not canon anymore to the series. Quote

jenius Posted January 15, 2021 Posted January 15, 2021 Remember, yamato non canon variants sold poorly, part of the reason Yamato went the kit route. Bandai does non canon stuff too though.. like their Focker inspired themes on other vehicles. Quote

I personally like the HMR VF-4 Roy more than the YF-29 (it's the headsculpt with that unicorn horn that irks me more). Quote

wmkjr Posted January 15, 2021 Posted January 15, 2021 Fans: When we getting Cannon Fodders? Bandai: We've listened to fans and will release the VF-1EX series next! Mirage version (General release). Hayate version (TWE)! Why? Cuz we can! Quote

If Mirage's red is not matching Hikaru's red, then I'll just go with Hayate's model. Quote

It looks like they made it appear to be leather, but what animal would it be harvested from? Humans didn't have tech to supersize cattle in SDFM, so did they ran whale skin or something? Quote

DWN013 Posted January 16, 2021 Posted January 16, 2021 On 1/13/2021 at 8:28 AM, Chronocidal said: Yeah, so the arms WILL NOT tab in and hold the gunpod level. They just flat out don't do it. They are designed to hold it pointed up at the underside of the nose, because BANDAI. You have to bend the arms so they drop entirely free of those pegs before the gunpod will sit level with super packs. I figured out why bandai's super parts design hold the gunpod at such a wonky angle. They made the gunpod extra thicc first, without thinking about super parts fighter mode with the landing gear out. If they had given the DX "normal" arm units with a straight gunpod mount, the extra large DX gunpod would impact the ground, and the super valkyrie would be unable to sit on its landing gear. Keep in mind, I'm not defending bandai here at all. It was a dumb decision that I disagree with. Just another tiny nitpick that prevents me from declaring the DX the "ultimate" VF-1 toy over the Yamcadia 1/60 V2. I would say Yamcadia appreciates fighter / battroid 50/50, while Bandai has a clear preference for battroid. Quote

You can use DEjapan, I used them to get my TV supers, I paid 8800yen for them when I 1st ordered, they charged me 600yen fees and 1800yen EMS shipping to Singapore, not sure if they can do other types of shipping, but you can always email them. They are very responsive and I was surprised how little on top of the actual price they charged me. Quote
