Sumdumgai Posted August 25, 2007 Share Posted August 25, 2007 Black Q-rau. Hell they have the molds, all they'd have to do is make it black plastic with gold trim. Although to be honest, I already have one Q-rau, I don't need anymore, and it's not as cool as having a repaint of a valkyrie. A black Q-rau would be cool though...

AC Starscream Posted August 28, 2007 Share Posted August 28, 2007 (edited) They both look pretty good IMO. I will try and get both but I will be getting the YF-19 for sure. Edited August 28, 2007 by AC Starscream Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graham Posted August 29, 2007 Share Posted August 29, 2007 Just confirmed that the 25th Anniversery YF-19 and VF-1S will in fact be limited to a single production run, the same as the Low Vis 1. Once they are gone, they are gone for good. So get em while they are hot! Graham Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once they are gone, they are gone for good. So get em while they are hot! Huzzah! Any chance they'll be released concurrently so us people living outside of the greater Asian area can save on shipping??? Man if I could have one box containing Nora, 25th VF-1S, and 25th YF-19, that'd be great! I wonder if they'll be labeled as LEs (or limited version)? Seems like a good holiday season coming up!

Sumdumgai Posted August 29, 2007 Share Posted August 29, 2007 Hot damn, I have to pre-order the 19. I don't want to have to scramble like I did with the Loz Vis v1! Guess I'll live with it covered with "25th anniversary". It could have been worse, and I'm sure it'll grow on me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

do not disturb Posted August 29, 2007 Share Posted August 29, 2007 i'm all for non-canon paint schemes but these seem a bit meh. i don't need yet another VF-1 repaint, i have too may as is. the 19 is 'okay' but if i'm going to buy the same design, i'd rather wait for the skyblue video game version or a LV scheme.

Sumdumgai Posted August 29, 2007 Share Posted August 29, 2007 Dobber scheme 19? Low vis version 1 19? Stealth 19? I swear if I miss out on the hlj pre-order (or worse, they cancel it on me because they took too many pre-orders), I'm going to blow a blood vessel.

miriya Posted August 29, 2007 Share Posted August 29, 2007 (edited) Agreed about the Dobber scheme... and.... Supernova yf-19 or white/black/grey(with red stripe) yf-19. Edited August 29, 2007 by miriya Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scream Man Posted August 29, 2007 Share Posted August 29, 2007 bugger, Ill have to paint over those logos.... And a 'Skull 1' style 19 please! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lonely Soldier Boy Posted August 29, 2007 Share Posted August 29, 2007 Just made mi mind on these: I'm not getting them. The VF-1S is the one that turns 25, so if for the anniversary thing THAT should be the one worth getting and I'm not too impressed by it. The YF-19 looks nice but just b/c it's black, so I'll wait for the eventual Stealth (we all know they will make one eventually). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ignacio Ocamica Posted August 30, 2007 Share Posted August 30, 2007 I'll get the VF-1S. I want a black VF-1S!!! With no markings. I'm wondering how hard it will be to remove the gold markings? (sorry but they look awful) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Project Phoenix Posted August 30, 2007 Share Posted August 30, 2007 I hope they make the VF-2SS. I know it is not from an alternate universe but I really do love the design. Either that, make the VA-3. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

warpaint22 Posted August 30, 2007 Share Posted August 30, 2007 bugger, Ill have to paint over those logos.... And a 'Skull 1' style 19 please! Yes PLEASE a "skull squadron" yf-19 and VF-11 that would be very nice. Or a white, grey and black snow cammo like in this pic of a A-10. Always been a fan of winter cammo schemes think they can look very striking on the right aircraft. A 1/48 Minmay Guard moon concert VF-1S Strike would be cool too or a Paris if you can't stand pink.

Chet Posted August 30, 2007 Share Posted August 30, 2007 Markings will be printed, not stickers..........yay! Graham Suddenly not in a rush to get these. This is the ONE instance wherein I would have preferred it if they did not tampo print some markings, specifically the "25th Anniversary" text. I may still be convinced to pick these up in the unlikely event that I find them at a discount...and after I've bought every other available high end toy I want at the time. That's how far down the "to-buy" list this has sild for me. Anyway, no point in trying to be a completist when I don't have the first Low Vis.

I don't want to wind up spending $300+ again on a limted edition valk like I did on the low viz because I passed up buying it when they first came out.

rick dieck Posted August 30, 2007 Share Posted August 30, 2007 Graham please tell yamato to put those 25th valkrie visors in gold,,,,,,, I think they will look a lot better than the original grey ones Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doodler7 Posted August 30, 2007 Share Posted August 30, 2007 oh man, i dunno for me...the colors are just not doing it for me...and the gold trim. these 25th annv pieces reminds me of some kid spray painting the entire figure and using those gold ink pens to do panel lines. and i be these will probably a little higher than the other valkyries. at this point if i were to get it, it'll be because it's a 25th annv version. a repaint. now if yamato were to come up with a better packaging for these two 25th valkyries and add a stand, and some nice colored printed booklets to go along with it...then maybe i'll get it. repaints suck. yamato should have done the VF-4 for the 25th annv...i would feel a lot more excited and fired up. the vf-19 was release twice already, and now for a third time? and the same goes with the VF-1s...sheeesh. now i don't know the haps with marketing or where yamato stands in terms of meeting numbers for this year, or if they have a quota for the next five years...but they know fans will buy macross stuff no matter what comes up...even if it's the 10th repaint of the same mold. i just think that the 25th annv event or time would have been more special or exciting with a different valkyrie. i mean, just look at the topic of this post; "stickers vs tampo"?

VALKYRIE-EXCHANGE.COM Posted August 30, 2007 Share Posted August 30, 2007 With all the Valks coming out in the next 6 months, I'm just surprised Yamato keeps pushing product out back to back like this. They are flooding the marketplace with stuff. It's great for fans but frankly there is only so much discretionary income to allocate to Macross toys.

jenius Posted August 30, 2007 Share Posted August 30, 2007 (edited) There shouldn't be any anger over re-paints... they're what make molds profitable. Besides, it's not like Yamato was going to invest a ton of money in an obscure Valk toy... it was repaints or nothing. I'm happy we got something. I'm with Kevin though... we could kinda use a break at some point to get back on our feet. Edited August 30, 2007 by jenius Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once they are gone, they are gone for good. So get em while they are hot! Graham but how many is "limited"? if they make 50,000 of them, that would still be considered "limited" wouldn't it? _______________________________________________________________________ its a fact that companies like to use "limited" and "exclusive" to gain more sales from collectors, when all it really is is just some printing on the box. maybe if they did something special like include some kind of book/cel/certificate/numbered the valks, and made an actual limited run(meaning something in the hundreds), i'd line up to buy these but til then, the word limited really has no meaning. people like using the LV1 as an example but the LV1 isn't something i'd really consider limited because if it was really limited, i would never had the chance of owning 3 of them. the only thing that yamato has put out that i consider limited is the Credit Card valk. everything else is just another sales ploy to get fans to part with their money.

I would agree that at the rate yamato is pumping out their new valks, it makes so hard for us to keep up and purchase them. My wallet needs a breather already. Hehe, might consider selling my internal organs soon if this keeps up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sumdumgai Posted August 30, 2007 Share Posted August 30, 2007 (edited) I only noticed now, but in one pic of the 19, I see an all black pilot figure. Is the production version going to come with an all black pilot figure? Or will he have some painted details? Like maybe the yellow/black shoulder pads. I still insist that if you've going to have a black valkyrie, the visor/eyepiece should be red transparent plastic. Graham, do you have any details about the Minmay figure that you can release to use when/if Yamato gives you the okay? I don't mean "Graham give us the details now, Mr. Sith Lord Sir", I mean do you know and are not able to tell us at the moment what you know. Info like who the sculptor is, what clothes, features, estimated msrp, planned variants. All that good stuff. Since I collect gal figures, I'm really interested in the details on Minmay. If it does well, and it's done well, maybe they could consider a non-limited Miria... edit for clarification on questioning Graham Edited August 30, 2007 by Sumdumgai Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
