Toonz Posted August 29, 2003 Author Posted August 29, 2003 i was shocked by the size of the box when i saw it. that's almost the size of the 1/48 box and i too, felt that they could've attached the boosters on the valk and the rest can be placed closer or even below the valk. look at the empty space at the bottom. *sign.......* Quote
Opus Posted August 29, 2003 Posted August 29, 2003 (edited) Do they still come with the extra hands in case the need to "borrow" a gunpod from one of thier better armed bretheren? Edited August 29, 2003 by Opus Quote
Hurricane29 Posted August 29, 2003 Posted August 29, 2003 Yeah, Toonz could you give us a break down of what the elint and super-o come with? Quote
Opus Posted August 29, 2003 Posted August 29, 2003 Another thought., Do the wings have holes for missile attachments? Quote
Etrigan Posted August 29, 2003 Posted August 29, 2003 Look back a few posts for the rear shot of the VT-1 box. It clearly shows wing hardpoints on the craft. Remolding the wings would be costly and unnecessary for Yamato, so it's not much of a surprise. Quote

The tips are different. Quote
vt102 Posted August 29, 2003 Posted August 29, 2003 No problem guys. I wasn't sure if anyone had posted pictures of the box. I can't wait to get my pair. Still gotta wait till my local supplier gets his shippment in. About another 2 weeks. Quote
Toonz Posted August 29, 2003 Author Posted August 29, 2003 oki, here is it.... first of all, there are no spare hands for both valks. just a pair of fists, one with a hole and one without. both have spare nose cone plug. both have antennas, BUT no spare ones so don't break any one of them. (FRAGILE!) all wings have hardpoints BUT no missiles provided. (what are the extra space in the box for, yamato?) both instruction books are the same, featuring transformation for VT-1 VE-1 both come with 2 sticker sheets each. the elint one is a bit different cos it has the pair of 'eyes' for the boosters. oh yes, the radar attachment on top of the elint is NOT removable. so don't break it.

Graham Posted August 29, 2003 Posted August 29, 2003 hmm i'm not that good with writing reviews er....graham? Getting mine today, will write review at the weekend. Actaully had samples at the beginning of the week, but sent them off to Shawn to display at MW CON 3, so I haven't had much time with ther toys myself. Graham Quote
Murphy Posted August 29, 2003 Posted August 29, 2003 sorry if this has been asked b4 but toons what pilots come with them? Quote
MicronianDevil Posted August 29, 2003 Posted August 29, 2003 sorry if this has been asked b4 but toons what pilots come with them? Super O: Hikaru and Minmay in DYRL flight suits. ElintSeeker: I dont know. Maybe some generic pilots? Quote

ElintSeeker: I dont know. Maybe some generic pilots? e.seeker has 2 pilots in dyrl suit and guess what, they wear a blue helmet which is like max! therefore it's like having 2 max in an elint Quote
MicronianDevil Posted August 29, 2003 Posted August 29, 2003 e.seeker has 2 pilots in dyrl suit and guess what, they wear a blue helmet which is like max!therefore it's like having 2 max in an elint Hmmm...2 Max behind the controls of a Valk!!! Imagine the kills they would rack up. Seriously though, if you can get some pics Toonz, I would love to see those pilots. Especially the Minmay pilot figure. Quote

Yohsho Posted August 29, 2003 Posted August 29, 2003 I didn't think these 2 would come out so fast. Doh, that means I'll have to get a Low-Vis then try to save up to get these 2. Hey Toonz does Minmay's helmet have the mikey mouse thing on it. Quote
Toonz Posted August 29, 2003 Author Posted August 29, 2003 Hey Toonz does Minmay's helmet have the mikey mouse thing on it. mickey mouse? where? Quote

Yohsho Posted August 29, 2003 Posted August 29, 2003 Ya the helmet's got these two big spaces above her head I was wondering if Yamato bother putting those in. Quote
Toonz Posted August 29, 2003 Author Posted August 29, 2003 Ya the helmet's got these two big spaces above her head I was wondering if Yamato bother putting those in. i'll check it out tonight Quote
MicronianDevil Posted August 29, 2003 Posted August 29, 2003 I hope the Minmay figure has the DYRL helmet. She looks cute in that. Quote
Omni Existence Posted August 29, 2003 Posted August 29, 2003 Dammit! I couldn't resist! I was going to pass them off but they had a strangle hold on me! ...I ordered the Elint and Super O from HLJ!!!! Quote
1 VF-1 2NV Posted August 29, 2003 Posted August 29, 2003 "My precious...my little precious. They stole it from us" OH! Wrong movie ! I've got to get my hands on them...got to. Quote
BoBe-Patt Posted August 29, 2003 Posted August 29, 2003 So I take it that the elint's tailfin section stays folded on the back even without the armor? It would be nice if it can fold back down so we can have a normal elint valk with no armor. Quote
Rivervale_Elves Posted August 29, 2003 Posted August 29, 2003 Yeah i cant wait to get these babies..woo hoo til sunday....1 more day... =P Quote
Manji Posted August 29, 2003 Posted August 29, 2003 I've been waiting for these releases for a long time now (yeah, I know I'm not the only one)...glad they are finally out... Now the wait for them to show up at my door... Quote
Angel's Fury Posted August 29, 2003 Posted August 29, 2003 Getting mine today, will write review at the weekend.Actaully had samples at the beginning of the week, but sent them off to Shawn to display at MW CON 3, so I haven't had much time with ther toys myself.

UN Spacy Posted August 29, 2003 Posted August 29, 2003 Yeah i cant wait to get these babies..woo hoo til sunday....1 more day... =P Same here. But in my case I gotta wait a lot longer than a day. I just picked up a set of figures and 2 sets of 1/48 Fast Packs from Kevin. That means I'm going over my Macross budget for the week (yes.....some of us have to stop once and a while ). I'll have the VE-1 and VT-1 soon enough....hopefully we'll see more pics this weekend. Quote

Still not stoping me from getting it as IMHO its the armor that makes it special so I wouldn't be removing it anyway Quote
