Few more, playing with camera settings......

Ok guys........first attempt at showing off flexi-stands, any kind of descent photos, but mostly of my weathering/panel lines I have been slaving over,.....be gentle....first attempt at ANY of these!!! More to come!! oops, Max isnt on a stand...doh!!

...still, this silly thing cant even hold a candle to the new version!! i GOT TO get me one!!!! Wow...uhh yeah....the ver. 2 PWNS all over that thing........

Sweeeeeeet!!!!!! Can't wait to get mine and weather the ever lovin snot out of it!!!!

Well that news puts me in a pissy mood. I bought a Toynami Scott and LOVE it! I was going to buy a Rand sooner or later, but yeah, I would have been first in line for the Rook/Lancer bikes, they should have staggered the releases, idiot marketing guys. Don't put 2 that are so alike one after the other.....This SUCKS. Booooooooooo...........

I'm with u Agent! Bring that BAD BOY ON!!!! SOLD!!!!

Thanks for the replies guys, I sat down with the VF-11B last night and gave it another "chance" as I was panel lining the wings, I guess if the legs are supposed to come off, that is not a concern. I guess I had the little flaps reversed? As they both popped off again, I put them back on and now they seem to sit almost perfectly flush. I pulled the feet all the way out for the "nose in the dirt" look of Gewalk mode, which is pretty cool, but find mine works better if you push them back in a notch for Battroid mode. It's still just a tiny bit back heavy with the Fast Pack Boosters on, but as my first shipment of Flex-stands is due any day now, standing on its own really is not going to be an issue......on another note, with a little practice, that heatshield is workin great! All in all, IMHO, this one is NOT worth the insane price tag unless you just love the design...I could have put the funds toward my vacation.....oh well!

Well, I finally caved and after watching Macross Plus for the first time and reading all the glowing review and reports on this, picked up a VF-11B. And so I guess it was just a matter of time before I got...well...."Yamatoed".... All my other 1:60 Ver 2 VF-1's have been PERFECT! I was SO in love with the look and feel of this Valk I couldn't wait to get it. Straight outta the package, it just seemed awesome. Then I tried to transform it. I don't know if it's just mine or what, but the legs/feet are really floppy and it's hard to get it to stand upright on it's own. The silly cockpit module is a pain also, kinda loose, and hard to get to look right. Wish they would have just made it not removable....Also one of the little gray tabs that folds over popped off, and now when it's back in fighter mode, won't go all the way down. Not a huge deal as it's mostly covered by the Fastpack Booster, but still....Also a leg came off mid-transformation, it goes back on, but I don't think they are supposed to come off, are they? Just thought I would share this as I felt kinda ripped off after shelling out almost $200 for this thing. It will most likely stay in fighter mode I guess.....By the way, does anybody remember that old Clint Eastwood movie "FireFox"??? Damn the VF-11B looks almost just like that plane! kinda cool! HOWEVER....My YF-21 came the very next day and can I just say OMG! That is an INCREDIBLE piece of engineering! My new favorite! Everthing is tight as a drum and it is 150% AWESOME. WAY ahead of anything Yamato has ever produced up to and including the VF-11B IMHO.

cool, thanks! Went with the assortment of 3! Pics coming within a week!

awesome pics guys, I'm about to place my first flex stand order, any thoughts on what "size" to get? I have all 1:60's ver2's Valks....Any help from u guys who have some is greatly appreciated!!

One can only hope!!!

I got the Toynami Beta awhile back and couldn't love it more. And honestly, when you pick it up, you feel like you got your money's worth!! The alpha's---meh hit and miss, I was lucky and got a pretty good blue one back when they first came out...but mostly...yeah they suck.

Nothin but HOTNESS goin on there!!!!

lol! I was like Damn! how did he get his already??!! Yeah the IA needs to be wayyyy darker. It looks to be back in the earlier pics in this thread.

Yeah, it looks a little green...it was kind of a blue green/teal in the show....hopefully they color it a little closer to the anime on the production model. AND ALL THAT TAMPO better be there too!!!!

Massive landing gear malfunction???? LOL!

If we're gonna GAY it up with RoboWreck Shadow Chronicles pilots, then why not some Scott Bernard love too????? Man can fly an Alpha, but kicks more ass in a Beta! Who knew! LOL!

oh MAN! Look at the sheer amount of tampo GOODNESS on this thing! I'm stoked!

Well, as I am a little late to the "party" and JUST watched Macross Plus for the first time over the weekend, (yeah I know)...but it was AWESOME. Point being, debt be damned!! I immediatly jumped online with my CC in hand and ordered the YF-21 and the new VF-11B...I am pretty sure once I have them both in hand, one will quickly become my new favorite! As for my favorite right now.....my first Valk ever was the 1:48 Roy, but i dunno, I'm SO over 1:48......I love all my 1:60 v.2 equally, so its hard to choose...I think my Hiki, VF-1J though...its just so classic!

LOL! Everything in life's a gamble of some kind or another.........Flip a coin I guess....

why are the fast packs red and blue???.....in the anime, at least the first time we see them, they are dark grey........

LOL! True!!

+1. I totally agree here. I've been reading this website for years now, and it's kinda funny how some people are here. People cry and moan about the things Yamato does and does not ever do...it's like they can't win. I for one am just glad I have the opportunity and means to purchase these (for the most part, well built) toys of stuff that came out 25 years ago!! I mean think about how cool that is. Give them enough time and I'm sure we are gonna see 1:60 enemy mecha. I only wish they would start doing Mospeada also.....

Not to nitpick here, but does anybody know why Yamato is coloring some of the fastpack parts blue and red??? I just re-watched the first episode where Max and Milia have these Valks and they take the baby aboard Breetai's ship, and the fastpacks were all a dark grey color from what I could tell......thoughts????

That is freakin dope!
