They should sell it also! Yeah! You're right. Now that you mention it, I recall that they used the 1:100 scale one to show off some gimmicks (like the seat gimmick). It would be quite tempting (for me anyway) if they ended up offering clear "stand-in" Valks as part of an armour display or hangar motiff. I do like how the 1:60 scale model pictured above resembles a VF-1J. Very cool indeed. Quote

I guess because they’re larger they won’t have so many different styles? Maybe not painted either? Quote
Saviant Posted August 31, 2018 Posted August 31, 2018 Just what I was waiting for, ordered an A prolly in a week or 2 will order a b aswell Quote

I guess because they’re larger they won’t have so many different styles? Maybe not painted either? Per the PO links.... A deposit of US$15. is required for each Pre-order (Product Price: US$ 77.90). Deposit will be refunded if the campaign doesn’t reach 600 pcs. pre-order after 3 months. Incase the campaign successfully reaches the target, deposit is not refundable & all supporters need to pay the balance before delivery of the goods (individual mail will be sent to all supporters to finish the complete deal!). Shipping charge to be advised separately. NEED YOUR SUPPORT TO BRING THE PROJECT ALIVE! No additional details regarding colors, etc....but I would expect it to be a complete ready to use accessory at the listed price. Edited August 31, 2018 by jvmacross Quote

seti88 Posted August 31, 2018 Posted August 31, 2018 Hmmm so if pre-orders reach 600 for A+B, they will start production? They didnt mention abt the colors or if the ejection seats or hanger would be included in the 77.90 bucks did they? Quote
Mommar Posted August 31, 2018 Posted August 31, 2018 (edited) Wow, 600? I wonder gow many of the little armors were made. It’s interesting to see differences on these things. Like the giant ammo bundles on the forearms and on the hips. Edited August 31, 2018 by Mommar Quote
sh9000 Posted August 31, 2018 Posted August 31, 2018 I’m in for 2 separate orders of set A and B. Those $5 off coupons will come in handy. Quote

I don’t think that valk is for me lol I can track down a 1/60 CF on yahoo auctions once the dust from recent releases settles and my wallet has a chance to recover. I really hope they entertain the idea of making these accessories for the 1/48 DX. Would def buy some. Quote
BlueMax Posted August 31, 2018 Posted August 31, 2018 According to Fext Hobby on its Facebook replies regarding Color: 這1:60版本是淺灰丶深灰配上金屬灰色！ basically it translates to: these 1:60 versions are light grey, dark grey and gunmetal/ metallic grey In other words, it should be close to the coloured versions we see on the transparent valk(S) Quote

Wonder if their will be a run on YAMATO NO-PAINT VF-1S's on the various auction and pre-owned retail sites? So just to see if the FEXT 1/60 Armor announcement has any effect on the current market prices for the NO PAINT Yamato -1S or the Yamato VF-1S kit.... Last NO PAINT on YJA sold for 30,500 JPY.... https://page.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/308887308 Last Yamato VF-1S kit sold on YJA for 20,010 JPY.... https://page.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/m266042323 Edited August 31, 2018 by jvmacross Quote

Sanity is Optional Posted August 31, 2018 Posted August 31, 2018 Wonder how these would look on a Milia VF-1J? Quote

jvmacross Posted August 31, 2018 Posted August 31, 2018 If you do not already have one, a FEXT Armor equipped Yamato LOW-VIZ VF-1S will be even costlier to put together than a NO PAINT VF-1S version....

Slave IV Posted August 31, 2018 Posted August 31, 2018 Lol, I just tried to order one using the coupon and the fine print says the order needs to be over $80 so even if you could apply it to the final total, it wouldn't work for one armor order. Those dicks obviously knew what they were doing considering there will likely be no other releases before the expiration date. I mean, it's great they are making these things and "catering" to the fandom but it's just such an ass move. Reminds me of the Hasbro coupon they gave people for completing a Marvel Legends survey but the coupon was not valid for Marvel Legends purchases. Quote

Arthurius Posted August 31, 2018 Posted August 31, 2018 (edited) I just ordered a day ago two more 1/100 armors, and got my 5$ off (order must be 80 or 85$ plus. Unfortunately, dont have any 1/60 VF, only 1/48th... and now no way can get one for a "reasonable" price so i can even use this armor... If it is so hard to make the 1/60 armor (need 600 + armors sold), i doubt 1/48th will ever be considered now, or at least i dont think it will be considered for the next 2 years Hard to pick between set A and B, but i think i would go with more firepower over more shieds, for my VF-1S really, but for a VF-1J or even better the VF-1A, more defense/shield looks better. At least, this is from my experimentation with the 1/100 armors. I guess i would have need to order one of each.... if only i had the 1/60 valks... why, why didnt i get them back when Yamato was making them left and right? WHY! KHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAN!!!!! Edited August 31, 2018 by Arthurius Quote

Mommar Posted August 31, 2018 Posted August 31, 2018 (edited) I was actually close to ordering more 1/100 Armors when these 1/60’s were announced. A little dissappointed they don’t have more color options. I originally thought they would do the same sorts of releases like the 1/100 though the larger size, higher cost and more rare nature of 1/60’s makes this strategy make more sense when I really think about it. I was going to get red and blue variants and slap them on my duplicate Max and Milia’s. Lord knows I’m not going to paint these things though, no time for customizing right now. I’m contemplating a third of these 1/60’s for mix/match purposes. Edited August 31, 2018 by Mommar Quote
jenius Posted August 31, 2018 Posted August 31, 2018 (edited) Another thought, they are also very easy to paint since they're made in a bare plastic, customizing should be a snap without too much concern for paint chipping. Edited August 31, 2018 by jenius Quote
Mommar Posted September 1, 2018 Posted September 1, 2018 If I had time to customize that might work. Quote
borgified Posted September 1, 2018 Posted September 1, 2018 Hmm... The 1/60 versions are more inclined to my tastes as I could cobble Set A and B for combo for my Arcadia VF-1S DYRL Roy. Quote
