Huuuur huuuuur derp - oh you, stop it!

Dude...I wouldn't even know how to start!!! That's where you come in.....

gwfalcon = great deals and fast shipping!

It's been said on here before, but I'd love to see a SVF-41 VF-1 CAG scheme released. I'd probably be holding my breath for a long time though.

I dunno....the VF-1 is Yamato's bread and butter "valk".......with the release of the Cavalier VF....using the Master File scheme rather than the TV "canon"....I feel it is a safe bet that we will eventually see more Prometheus and ARMD squadrons produced, maybe not mass releases though....

No one for the VF-11C full armor?

I believe an enterprising "nut" will make this happen.....

THIS!!!!!!!!!!!!

Next web-sclusive....

- of course the Macross the first version would be easiest)

You can now watch the recent special TV shows, "The Men Who Made Macross" and "Super Dimension Seminar", online over at the Bandai Channel:

As long as you are in Japan?

Any easter eggs been reported or confirmed?

Again....without taking money up front.....I doubt Yamato will take a chance and just produce them based on the orders received......lots of things can happen between now and when the cash is due....and many people that are pre-ordering now may not come through with the payment.....so I think Yamato already has a number in mind...it will produce that number....a number it feels it can still make a profit on (thus the sticker price) even if all are not bought from their webshop.....and hopefully that number is either more than or equal to the number that actually get paid for when payment is due.......Yamato made this a limited item because it does not think it will sell as well as its more popular offerings......it is what it is

That's not a complete list.... we need a funny Chinese vf1 also.

..don't forget the Alaska base VF-1A and the Max and Millia wedding ceremonial guard VF-1D!!!

if they just start digging through the Master File.

yep......plenty more "unseen" VF-1 fighter squadrons from SDFM are shown in the VF-1 Master File book....they did the "cavaliers"...may as well release the rest!

PM sent on Komiria capsule

Oooh i know i know!

Is it 1/60 scale?

So now that Yamato has finally made many a dream come true with the release (well by end of year) of the VF-4......what's next?

I'm thinking that Yamato's release of the almost $400 VF-4 means anythng goes.....so with that said.....I think we will see the rest of the Sound Force.....Varuta valks.....Vf-5000 and VA-3C from Macross Dynamite 7.....the remaining Macross TV VF-1's.....and to further milk the VF-1mold....Macross the First VF-1's!!!

I am hoping that the big announcement at the end of year or early next year will be for the SDF-1 TV version........perhaps the next web-exclusive?

I agree with you, since this is limited, the sellers might have to go through proxy to secure the valkyrie.

And NY isn't serving as a "proxy"?....Since this valk is "only available as an online exclusive directly from the Yamato Webshop".......a proxy is the only way to go if you are outside of Japan........

But is it as nuts as buying a toy and then building a ton of parts for it to convert it to exactly what you want?

Sure....but I am glad there are nuts out there doing it because I can't!!!.......with that said....please hurry on the 2 parts everyone will surely go nuts over!...

I got one on preorder already from a friend in Japan, now waiting on HLJ or amiami for a second one.

Edit: To add, I hope that if they do decide to put it on the regular market, or make additional runs, that the mass release is different, even if slightly, from this version.

Same here...I know I am guaranteed the one I bought on early bird.....I can wait and see what becomes available once it is actually released.....

If the VF-X and Angelbird are any indication.......I doubt a mass release will be any different......but sure would be nice

yeah, you'd never know. The previous web exclusive Angel birds and VF-X ended up everywhere on ebay and most major online stores in Japan.

That was a magazine exclusive....and yes, they ended up everywhere.......which is odd why Yamato has taken the steps of "early bird" offerings and now this open pre-ordering...all while not taking one dime up front....I would think they would want to avoid the same over-production issues of those two valks ........unless, of course, they get to sell the excess valks for the same price they would any normal release...or they know they are not producing that many?

OK, so if no payment is being requested up front.......and the window for "pre-ordering" closes for everyone on October 15th.....Yamato is really going to produce these with no "cash in hand"? .....just hope they don't have a production number in mind and end up not being able to fulfill orders...in other words, limiting sales to any one individual which at this point seems several from NY..... ........I do hope other venues for getting this valk start popping up.......

So no payment is being requested right now by Yamato?

maybe HLJ was able to carry exclusives before because Yamato guesstimated on demand.....and apparently overestimated on several of those items...like the VF-X and Angelbird.........Isn't this the first time Yamato is producing a limited/exclusive item based on an initial "early bird" count of ultimate sales/production quantity?.......

I think I know what your gf bought you.....if so they are not original....but still unless you were buying them yourself...I would just be grateful that my gf was thoughtful enough to get me something I liked....If she is not a fan I would not expect her to know the difference.....bringing it up will just make her feel bad which is the complete opposite of what her goal was for you when she searched for and bought you something from "macross"......been there.....just take the cd's and enjoy....they sound the same as the originals....

I put in my early bird pre-order for one as that is all I wanted, however, I assume others may have placed orders for more.....seems a separate "early bird" email will be sent on the 20th....

Please let us know if Yamato is able to fulfill your multiple orders or if you were limited to 1 or 2, as that will give everyone a good indication as to whether or not the webshops will be able to make these available for sale.....

I did not see anything on the latest VF-4 email update regarding limiting order quantities, but their general policy does seem to imply that "limited" items are subject to order limits....

Hoping everyone that wants one...gets one!

I thought early bird fans would get first dibs today......maybe later today? Still early in the AM on the 17th in Japan....

Unlike other VF's, I have never seen anyone post their dislike of the original VF-1 design........the above pics explain why....

VF-1 Rules!
