THANK YOU WAVE!!!! now if it doesn't cost $50 per kit that'd be extra sweet, but either way, they're getting my money for multiples!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
505thAirborne 480 Posted October 29, 2020 Share Posted October 29, 2020 Time to save up some $$$ and build a Squadron! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Thom 354 Posted October 29, 2020 Share Posted October 29, 2020 (edited) WootWoot!! The poor 171 has been much maligned and little represented. Real cool to see a 1/72 kit coming along! Guess I'll be buying even more Macross. Hope they follow up with a radome-version! And yeah, let's hope they don't do like they did with the VF-4. Cool they offered a kit with a weapons set, but NOT cool that they stopped selling the one without! Edited October 29, 2020 by Thom Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Urashiman 28 Posted October 29, 2020 Share Posted October 29, 2020 100% Gonna buy! Awesome! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Convectuoso 335 Posted October 29, 2020 Share Posted October 29, 2020 (edited) I hope they release a Battroid version too, so they can be combined for Gerwalk mode Edited October 29, 2020 by Convectuoso Quote Link to post Share on other sites

C'mon, Hasegawa, get on it! I was resigned to that fact when I saw "Wave" but I don't care as much when it's the only game in town, and a resin kit would be more AND more difficult to build.

TMBounty_Hunter 53 Posted October 30, 2020 Share Posted October 30, 2020 The text does say 2021, so assuming the calendar doesn't just roll back to start of 2020 as the clock hits midnight, shouldn't be too far away. I was honestly contemplating collecting reference for a scratchbuild the past few months. Usually these announcements come AFTER you start a project just to spite you.

Given how the year's gone, I wouldn't dismiss the possibility. Just reset the cursed countdown clock, like in 1408. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Dobber 325 Posted November 2, 2020 Share Posted November 2, 2020 Wow this is awesome! Wave seems to be our savior when it comes to new models. Hasegawa seems to just be in the re-pop business now. Chris Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Too bad it's not Hasegawa though. #1 because the detailing would be more delicate, #2 because knowing Hasegawa, we could look forward to some cool variations and different unit decal repops down the road. But still, I'll take what I can get. I guess we're getting at least 2 boxings out of this? The blue-green one and the beige one? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Chronocidal 439 Posted November 7, 2020 Share Posted November 7, 2020 Having bought a few of the VF-4 kits, I can't honestly say the detailing is bad at all, but the shape was a bit awkward, having been flattened vertically in terms of the angles of the wings and tails. What I do wish they would do is stop posting isometric views of their CAD models, because that is a terrible way to advertise. It distorts the shape horribly in almost every way, making the model look misshapen from the get-go. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
KOG Water Dragon 9 Posted November 8, 2020 Share Posted November 8, 2020 The Wave VF-4 is all we have for now so I'm not complaining. But I did think the panel lines were a bit thicker, the details a little less refined, compared to Hasegawa VFs. Did anyone make a PE detail set for the VF-4? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Gidiot 4 Posted January 29 Share Posted January 29 IS there any update for the Wave VF-171? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TMBounty_Hunter 53 Posted January 29 Share Posted January 29 Presumably we'll get some update during Wonderfest Winter 2021, which was supposed to be a physical event on Feb 7th but due to COVID has been changed to an online event. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

But in the original announcement pictures it says "2021", so there might be news around the year. Edited Monday at 02:20 PM by Urashiman Quote Link to post Share on other sites
