xrentonx Posted October 25, 2013 Share Posted October 25, 2013 He designed that shirt in lego too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sketchley Posted October 25, 2013 Share Posted October 25, 2013 He designed both the VF-17 and VF-19 in Lego as well. Probably the Fz-109 too. Didn't know that. Thanks. That said, on closer examination, the wings of the VF-17 and VF-19 are definitely not Lego (black construction paper?). So, I'll revise my originally comment: "the limitations of designs made COMPLETELY out of Lego." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkHawk Posted October 25, 2013 Share Posted October 25, 2013 Is the November 1 date when the prototype pictures are revealed or is it when the preorders go active? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tochiro Posted October 25, 2013 Share Posted October 25, 2013 I'm going to be patient and wait for version 2.0 to come out. It seems like Bandai has a consistent history of rushing their first batch (ie. Frontier series) then realizing all the improvements they should have made by releasing 2.0. Anybody else feel this way? I'm not sure its a safe bet that there will be a 2.0. This is by far the most obscure valk in Bandai's lineup. It's not something thats been used in a series or movie and is from a game that less than 100,000 ppl bought. You could say its a hero unit but its a hero most people have never heard of before. Either this will be released in very limited numbers or else it will end up as a discounted shelf warmer. I'm thinking of grabbing 2 (and I NEVER get 2) just because its such an obscure valk to make. Is the November 1 date when the prototype pictures are revealed or is it when the preorders go active?Nov. 1 is when more details will be revealed.

skullmilitia Posted October 25, 2013 Share Posted October 25, 2013 General release seems odd for a fighter of this unknown caliber to most fans. You'd think a game only valk would be built to order. If it's general release, I'd imagine it means they already plan repaints. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YF-29 Durandal Posted October 25, 2013 Share Posted October 25, 2013 So what colour schemes currently exists for this valkyrie? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shukenzero Posted October 25, 2013 Share Posted October 25, 2013 I hope it's tamashii exclusive cos ironically the limited run is easier to procure and won't have a price hike before launch...no more camping AmiAmi and NY...hope Bandai don't screw this up. On another note, I was talking to a guy who said he got VF-0D vibes from the design. I'm inclined to agree...and it has the proportions, or at least feels like it has, of the VF-4G. Still...love delta wing designs...maybe they'll force Arcadia to do a VF-0D! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mommar Posted October 25, 2013 Share Posted October 25, 2013 Could anybody take some screens of the alternate color schemes from the game so we have an idea what potential repaints could look like? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wmkjr Posted October 26, 2013 Share Posted October 26, 2013 (edited) Sorry, no alternate colors. But here are some scans I found on the web. I think the gunpod should attach at two points. One in the Missile pod container and one by the waist joint (via clip?) See ugly reference above. My reasoning is using only the missile pod connection you wouldn't but able to use the gunpod if you wanted to use the container, Unless they decide to sacrifice that gimmick. BTW, this plane reminds me of Ace Combat's Fenrir and XFA-36a mixed together. Fenrir XFA-36a Edited October 26, 2013 by wmkjr Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
close313 Posted October 26, 2013 Share Posted October 26, 2013 Wow the fenrir really really resembles the YF-30 O.o Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Major Focker Posted October 26, 2013 Share Posted October 26, 2013 i would love both of those (three, including the YF-30) in 1/72 styrene. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Falcon18 Posted October 26, 2013 Share Posted October 26, 2013 Now that you mention it. It does look like the fenrir. I remember playing that over and over again.. lol. Always annoying to shoot them down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MacrossJunkie Posted October 28, 2013 Share Posted October 28, 2013 That Fenrir really does share quite a few similarities with the YF-30. Especially the way the tail fins are attached. I wonder if Kawamori got inspiration from that design. It would be hard to believe that he didn't. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

antibiotictab Posted November 1, 2013 Share Posted November 1, 2013 There were 2 YF-30s. Batoloid and Fighter. They have already painted. Photography and recording are so STERNLY prohibited. I have never seen such a situation. There were some press people wearing pink vests and the Tamashii staffs were watching their movements one on one. lol I set up my cameras but ended in vain. But the pics will be uploaded somewhere. I could hear many Chinese conversations... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
