bandit29 Posted February 11, 2004 Posted February 11, 2004 3900 yen? ugh Well I guess I can get at least one. Quote
DatterBoy Posted February 11, 2004 Posted February 11, 2004 (edited) $37 bucks.... and then $13-15 for shipping... Damn.... Edited February 11, 2004 by DatterBoy Quote
Draykov Posted February 11, 2004 Posted February 11, 2004 Yeah, for $37 bucks I can get a couple of Sithlord's stands and have change left over. From what I've seen of this thing, it isn't special enough for me to waste $37 bucks on. Especially if you can't even attach the gunpod on the Valk while it's on the stand. Quote
Mechamaniac Posted February 11, 2004 Posted February 11, 2004 Sheesh, relax d00d5. HLJ is ballz expensive especially when it comes to shipping. Just wait, and I am sure one of our fine e-tailers will have it much cheaper. They rarely if ever let us down. Quote
Mad Dawg Posted February 11, 2004 Posted February 11, 2004 For $37 they can sure as hell release some press photos so I can see what's so $37 about it in the first place. Quote

Uxi Posted February 11, 2004 Posted February 11, 2004 I guess it's good if u do dioramas... I always thought the legs were good enough for battroid and gerwalk and landing gear for fighter mode... Quote
Draykov Posted February 12, 2004 Posted February 12, 2004 (edited) What is this? The launch arm thingy? If it were the DYRL? launch arm, I'd be a lot more excited about it. It seems to be an attempt at such, while still making a functional stand. Edited February 12, 2004 by Draykov Quote
nedragdnuos Posted February 12, 2004 Author Posted February 12, 2004 http://www.macrossworld.com/macross/magazi...v-03-page-2.jpg Ahhhh I finally found the pic..... i knew it was in one of the mags.... I would assume its the DYRL launch arm as you can see its holding the 1/48.... Quote
wolfx Posted February 12, 2004 Posted February 12, 2004 Actually if i remembered correctly, the launch arm is supposed to grab the TOP of the valkyrie, not the bottom. Quote
Anubis Posted February 12, 2004 Posted February 12, 2004 (edited) Actually if i remembered correctly, the launch arm is supposed to grab the TOP of the valkyrie, not the bottom. Not technically feasible with these valks. Holding it by the fast packs is a bad thing (backpack hinge). In any case, I like my acrylic stands. Edited February 12, 2004 by Anubis Quote

mechaninac Posted February 12, 2004 Posted February 12, 2004 I just looked at the pictures on HLJ and noticed a YF-19 in there. While it is impossible to tell form that small, grainy, image, could that be our "first glance" at the much anticipated YF-19 FP? Just wondering... Quote

Neova Posted February 12, 2004 Posted February 12, 2004 I just looked at the pictures on HLJ and noticed a YF-19 in there. While it is impossible to tell form that small, grainy, image, could that be our "first glance" at the much anticipated YF-19 FP? Just wondering... There were no fast packs in the picture and it looks like the regular YF-19a (1st or 2nd edition) with that tinge of plastikey yellow. I hope that is not the newest YF-19a. The stand supports 1/72, 1/60 and 1/48 Valkyries and I bet it will also support the 1/100 Macross Zero line too, seeing how Yamato likes to re-scale their toys to roughly the same size (1/100-1/60 scales).

Battlepod Posted February 13, 2004 Posted February 13, 2004 Will it need both cement and painting? Quote
Graham Posted February 13, 2004 Posted February 13, 2004 Will it need both cement and painting? No, Yamato make toys, not model kits. Graham Quote
Isamu Atreides 86 Posted February 13, 2004 Posted February 13, 2004 Will it need both cement and painting? No, Yamato make toys, not model kits. Graham ...for now... (Ominous music plays in background).... Quote
nedragdnuos Posted February 13, 2004 Author Posted February 13, 2004 Hmm.. well if its allready assembled, I just hope the box wont be any bigger than a 1/48 Valk box LOL.... Quote
Swoosh Posted February 13, 2004 Posted February 13, 2004 Anyone notice that is a 1/48 Milla with FAST pack on the stand??? or the pic of a 1/48 milla is outdated news? Quote
Draykov Posted February 13, 2004 Posted February 13, 2004 (edited) Anyone notice that is a 1/48 Milla with FAST pack on the stand???or the pic of a 1/48 milla is outdated news? This is the first I remember hearing about them (almost a month ago): Yamato 1/48 Valkyries, Max & Milia Edited February 13, 2004 by Draykov Quote
Anubis Posted February 13, 2004 Posted February 13, 2004 (edited) Damn thing can hold up a Q-rau? cool. Is that the old YF-19 on the stand? Edited February 13, 2004 by Anubis Quote
Anubis Posted February 13, 2004 Posted February 13, 2004 old YF-19 fighter (pic from Valkyrie Factory) yf_19_fighter.07 Quote
Hurin Posted February 14, 2004 Posted February 14, 2004 (edited) well. the show was in 0 g. so it worked there. lol. Grabbing something by a weak point and shaking vigorously will just as surely break it in 0g as within a gravity field. Momentum and mass are not affected by gravity. . . only weight. H Edit: Rather than momentum, I wish I had used the word "intertia." Edited February 14, 2004 by Hurin Quote
Battlepod Posted February 14, 2004 Posted February 14, 2004 Will it need both cement and painting? No, Yamato make toys, not model kits. Graham Well, that's what HLJ page says Quote
VF-0S FAN Posted February 14, 2004 Posted February 14, 2004 I have no alternative but to pick one up Quote
