Will u get the 1/48 M&M?

Shin Densetsu Kai 7.0 · February 6, 2004

me 2 imode. Hey guys did Max kick a lot of ass in his 1J? I remember back when i was 10...watching the robotech reruns on scifi...that although i loved his color scheme in the J...he primarily kicked a lot of ass in hsi 1A an his J was given because he was a god in dogfighting. Or bwecause of promotion something like that. Did he do anythign significant in his J or is it just more recognized than his A since its more of a contrasting color scheme?

Mechafan · February 6, 2004

I going to wait for a sale if possible. I have the 1/60 versions, the Bandai versions and some others sets of them too. I am in no rush. Want to move on to something else. Getting tired of the VF-1's. Plus shelf space is getting smaller. Have to same room for the Q-Rau.

The Corrected Poll will drop off the screen pretty soon since it's a "Poll only" thread.
It would be interesting to see finer results.

There's no need for replies, they're all in here. I think it would have been a waste of bandwidth to allow replies to it. Mods would pull it if I had...

vlenhoff · February 6, 2004

I've got a very soft spot for these two.

Skull 001 · February 6, 2004

I want them both but the cost and coming in cosecutive months is what will kill me. As of right now no, maybe 1, and a stretch for both.

I voted no, but I may rethink that if the prices eventually drop.

I'll probably get one of each but I do wish they would come out further apart so that I could ease the hit on my wallet.

Powered Convoy · February 7, 2004

I'll be getting both...hopefully. They're so expensive, and I want the Hikaru VF-1J too. So hopefully I can afford them, but I only make like $100 a week while at college.

Draykov · February 7, 2004

I'm surprised at the number of people sitting out. What's the reasoning?

a) I've got enough 1/48s

b) I'm sick of the VF-1

c) too expensive/I'm poor

d) I don't particularly like the Max/Miria scheme

e) space is becoming an issue

My answer is B.

The only other VF-1 I'll buy at this point will be a 1/48 Elint or Ostrich. Unfortunately, Graham said that this will probably not happen. I'm just tired of repaints, at least the latter two will require some new molds.

For me it's A, C & D. I think that $170 each is too much to spend for a color scheme that I'm not particularly fond of on a toy that I have 5 varients of already.

that calls for a new poll. for me it I"M POOR...sobs... or maybe a new point lack of space.

VF-0S FAN · February 7, 2004

I gonna buy both. I have only the VF-1S Hikaru and the Low-Vis...

for me is C and E (ran out of space)

but I don't mind receiving one as a gift..... since I don't have VF-1J Hikaru

I'd say A & B. I have 6 1/48s, four with FPs. And I'm a little tired of the VF-1 and Macross in general. I have other hobbys and interests that I've negelected.

Plus The money could be spent better on a new refrigirator. 1/48's don't keep beer cold in the summertime. :lol:

Myersjessee · February 7, 2004

yes...1 of each....though I am not doing flips for them.. <_<

Yes, but I hear the 1/60 Monster will double as a mini-fridge. Score!

Or it could guard your main fridge.

Rig it up to say "You now have 5 seconds to comply."

scand · February 7, 2004

Wow! with nobody buying them, I'm going to wait six months for the price to drop!

Mersenne · February 7, 2004

No. I already spent loads on the Macross box sets. No more Valkyries, for now.

Daishi3500 · February 7, 2004

Apparently, im paying for my own car and college alone, looks like im getting a geo, spending my days at the comunity college. damn, yamatos toys.

phatslappy · February 7, 2004

I've only got the low viz 1/48 and I think that'll probably be the only one I'll buy...unless they come out with a GBP-1S set. The 1/48 simply isn't my favorite. I will always be a 1/55 through and through. I think, and I probably may be speeking for others, in that after going through buying all the 1/55s and the 1/55 reissues, and the 1/60s...it's just getting old having to keep forking out money for what is essentially the same thing. If I hadn't bought all those 1/60s...I probably buy more 1/48s. Besides, I want the Q-Rau and the Monster. From an economics point of view, the marginal utility of purchasing another 1/48 valk has simply reached 0.

We have 48% nobodies here!

Blaine23 · February 9, 2004

Hmmm... I think folks are overwhelmed by the thought of buying TWO 1/48 super valks right now... basically it's like one big $360 item The pictures don't really look too terribly different than the 1/60's... and there's no telling if Yamato is going to offer something they like even better 2 months later.

As it gets closer to ship date and folks start receiving them, I'll wager more folks would decide to get them. I personally can't wait... the thought of two massive Super M&M valks on my shelf is awesome to me.

I'll tell you another thing... if Yamato decides to cut their production down on these and make less of them (like Bandai did with their M&M's a few years back), it'll start a stampede. For some reason, people lose their objectivity if they think they're looking at a "rare" or "hard to get" item.

Look at all these "Johnny come latelys" in the For Sale forums who have all of a sudden decided they cannot live without getting their hands on a Low-Viz... which was quite easy to find when it came out.

Hehe.... Like me... I mean, when I saw how easy they were to get I just thought "huh, they ain't so limited. Whatchoo talkin' 'bout, Willis?" I even picked one up, then put it down again. On two occassions. But the other day my friend told me he was thinking of getting a valk, and which one would I recommend. I thought, the Low-Vis. But I realised then you can't get 'em anymore.

Well, I can, but that's another story....

Anyway, I woted NO in this poll, but I missed out on the Max 1/55 reissue, so if I have to get one, it'll be Max Jenius version. Although I am highly pissed off at this price tag. It's just stupid, Y20,000 for a bloody toy that isn't even an antique...

Uxi · February 9, 2004

I'd say E because they're too big. They're great display pieces but not as good for actually playing with IMO. I was tossing and turning my 1/60 Hikaru Super and it's the perfect size. 1/48 Super/Strike are humongous. That's good for some, but not too good to buzz around the house, dodging imaginary missiles and phantom Zentran.

Nani?! · February 10, 2004

I vote no.

Although I'm not in any way sick of the VF-1 series design in itself, I think I've reached a limit on spending good hard earned cash for another essentially identical toy. If I start comparing the prices of one of these things as opposed to other things in the same price range, like a PS2, two DVD Collection sets, 9 weeks worth of Fuel, etc, I'm kinda starting to question if it's really worth it personally.

Again, it's just my opinion....

Skull-1 · February 10, 2004

Amazing results so far. Milia more popular than Max???

Kamion · February 10, 2004

*sigh* but the numbers of the more refined poll is not as high though. Only 49 votes compared to the 132 votes here.

But the result is interesting. Right now, we have a tie between buying both and not buying either!

3 votes for Milia only and 2 votes for Max only.

Come on everyone, cast ur vote in the other poll please!

TheLoneWolf · February 11, 2004

If someone forced me to buy one, I would definitely go for Milia. I love the red color Yamato gave her valk, but Max's blue is too light for my taste.

Uxi · February 11, 2004

I'd have to agree on the colors, but I'd still lean on the Max...
