SchizophrenicMC Posted February 24, 2009 Share Posted February 24, 2009 rub it in for the less fortunate who don't live downstairs to a real toy store not some "americanized toy's r us" won't sell real anime stuff. We get hijacked here for anime products unless we order form online store that charge us shipping. Your in the GOLD Graham. Hong Kong. Wan Jai. Well, when you think about it, in Asia, they have Asianized TRU. Toys 'r' Us is an American store, you know. You know, knee-hold Minmay would be easier to alleviate in a larger scale, say 1/48? (For those who don't know, I'm adamantly 1/48. That's why these are truly off my buy list. Too small, or not small enough.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
logos Posted February 24, 2009 Share Posted February 24, 2009 (edited) You crazy cats & your shipping. I picked up mine from the store yesterday & very nice it is to. The only bad point is that there is not enough leg room in the rear seat for a full size pilot, hence why Minmay has her knees pulled up to her chin. No shoulder cracks on mine. That damned inconsiderate Hikaru! Doesn't he know to move the seat up for a lady! I bet Roy would never had made that mistake!

m0n5t3r Posted February 24, 2009 Share Posted February 24, 2009 knowing Roy... he would have his seat pulled all the way back so his lady can sit (ass or face, whatever) on his lap! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
holytoledo69 Posted February 24, 2009 Share Posted February 24, 2009 Well, when you think about it, in Asia, they have Asianized TRU. Toys 'r' Us is an American store, you know. Everything is Asianized in Asia. When I was in the Philippines, Mc Donald's hamburgers were served with rice and gravy. Breakfast was sausage eggs and rice. No one knew that KFC stood for Kentucky fried chicken lol. Not that Im making fun of asians, hell.. Im asian!! But living here (in the USA) and going back to the home land you tend to understand it a little bit more. Anyways Back on topic.. I wish they had the VF-1D cockpit/nose cone like the Elint Seeker's. But I guess they rushed this baby out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VFTF1 Posted February 24, 2009 Share Posted February 24, 2009 You crazy cats & your shipping. I picked up mine from the store yesterday & very nice it is to. The only bad point is that there is not enough leg room in the rear seat for a full size pilot, hence why Minmay has her knees pulled up to her chin. No shoulder cracks on mine. You know - there are benefits to a design where the back seat only allows women in skirts to sit with their legs pull up to their chins Kudos to the design team!

logos Posted February 24, 2009 Share Posted February 24, 2009 (edited) Found this awesome pick for the VT on www.stumbleupon.com. They should put something like this on the cover of the VT box. Or better yet the rez is good enough on this I should get an 11x17 made and framed to go with the VT when I get it.

VFTF1 Posted February 24, 2009 Share Posted February 24, 2009 Dag. Sweet pic. The VF-1 has to be made into a real life fighter plane at some point. It is just so perfect a design. Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jasonc Posted February 24, 2009 Share Posted February 24, 2009 Wasn't this from Tenjin Hidetaka's illustrated book? Correct. It was also the cover art for the Hasegawa 1/72 model kit. When I did my 1/55 custom, I used that Valkyrie artbook to paint it up. I also used his Elintseeker picture to customize my 1/55 Bandai Elintseeker. I'm taking sack lunches to work now to save for the upcoming boom in Macross toys. Especially 2 seaters, which I love. As far as the question of rushing the VF-1D out. I don't think it was rushed. The cockpit is designed the way it's supposed to be, and if it did have the Elint type canopy, it would be inaccurate. I like the fact that Yamato is taking the time out to design these to look anime accurate, and are being much more strict about the design than with the v.1 1/60s. Also, Graham, I'd love to see pics of your VF-1D, from the perspective of an owner. It seems sometimes that the company photos are a bit too overworked on, and seeing the pics of one's very own collected item is more fun to see. Anyways, pics would be awesome.

Dobber Posted February 24, 2009 Share Posted February 24, 2009 I'd be very interested in seeing a good profile shot of the fighter mode to see how the canopy looks. Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

holytoledo69 Posted February 25, 2009 Share Posted February 25, 2009 I just received my VF-1D. No issues in QC so far. Transformed it to all 3 modes. The figures of Rick and Minmei are a bi@tch to put in if you have fat fingers like mine but other than that... Its the most immaculate Yamato Valkyrie I've ever had. Oh yeah, just one slight little problem... I want more!, plus the 1/60 destroids!!! Lolz! Not only is this my first 1/60 v.2, its my first two seater. I'm tempted to buy the rest but Im going to wait on the ELINT seeker and the Super Ostrich. Im going to skip on the A's, J's and S's in Super packs. I already have those in 1/48's.
