Vegas Posted March 14, 2008 Share Posted March 14, 2008 a MUST have. this should have been the 25th anniv. version Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheLoneWolf Posted March 15, 2008 Share Posted March 15, 2008 Thanks for posting those pics charger69, now we can really make out the fine details. I'm no expert on planes, but it looks like Yamato really went overboard with the weathering. If Yamato added some battle damage, this would make an excellent battle damaged Roy. As it is, it looks like Roy just flew through a Zentraedi chimney stack. Good news guys, you now have one less person to worry about when bidding for these on ebay.

Graham Posted March 15, 2008 Share Posted March 15, 2008 Got mine last night. Pretty cool. Yamato actually put quite a few small decals on the toy. Graham Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Graham Posted March 15, 2008 Share Posted March 15, 2008 Decals, or tampo prints? Water side decals. Not as good as Tampo printing would have been, but better than a kick up the ass. Graham Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robokochan Posted March 15, 2008 Share Posted March 15, 2008 Get ready for prices to shoot through the roof. Yamato limited the order of these to 1 per person / address. Not only did they make it available only in Japan, they made it more more limited by limiting the amount that will be made and sold.

Not only did they make it available only in Japan, they made it more more limited by limiting the amount that will be made and sold. Rob Doing this would not be smart for Yamato. They should make it available to the public and then re-issue the entire line weathered like this. I would definitely buy them all over again.

Rob With this information I am going to guess that this will become more collectible and rare and expensive than the Low Vis 1 by far. So, where is the ordering page on the yamato site? I may try to have my friend in Tokyo try to get one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Uxi Posted March 15, 2008 Share Posted March 15, 2008 What is all this limited to Japan? This means no Asia/HK? What's the normal distribution? We never get them in NA anyways... maybe I'll go by Frank & Sons to see if they have any. I kinda wish ALL releases were weathered rather than "showroom" clean, myself.

Ghostkiller Posted March 15, 2008 Share Posted March 15, 2008 nice valk but the fact that only japanese people can get it it is a shame and an insult to the fans that we are so yamato listen up : here is my respond just keep your over weathered vf-1s I prefer mine !!!

doodler7 Posted March 16, 2008 Share Posted March 16, 2008 (edited) Great work GhostKiller. I've tweaked the colors a bit to bring out the white, some slight noise reduction, and tone down the yellow. I'm sure the photos don't do justice on your VF-1S, but hopefully this version will show more of it's colors.

Save Posted March 16, 2008 Share Posted March 16, 2008 Details: Orders take place on "April Fools Day" April 1st at noon. One item person. Cost is 18,690 to $185. Please hold on sending me PM requests until I can figure out a way of ordering more than one via friends, co-workers, homeless, and already dead Japanese residents.

My instincts were right. This thing was prepped to become an instant classic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
