wow area the armors out? anyone getting theirs in the mail yet? or are these advance pics from somewhere?
-
as promised some photos. not my best work. had to hurry...light was already fading when i started but really getting faint by the time i got into battroid mode. had to edit the colors slightly so you can see what it really looks like.....someday i'll take pictures with better, more and diffuse light

yes my box had the 30th anniversary band sticker. no option parts inside though. granted it is possible they forgot to put it in or someone swiped it? i doubt it though. yamato doesn't seal their boxes wtih tape but this box i could tell had not been opened before. as a reminder, at least for the one valk with optino parts i do have (reissue 1D) they come in a bag taped to the back of one of the plastic trays. now i suppose there is a possibility they just forgot to include it, but i guess thats unlikely. i'll wait for others to chime in when they get theirs. if other's do have it, i'm going to raise hell! lol. btw, most retailers list the valks that do come with it as "+ option parts", this one doesn't have that designation on any retailer site. i'll try to snap a couple quick pics when i get home tonight.
-
this is a first....am i the first to get a cavalier? i can confirm there are no option parts no matter what the 30th anniversary label says at least not on mine.
-
Hmmm... I took the plunge but I'm not happy about it... I think I paid even more than the last guy .... I may have hit my limit for a valk toy on this one ($296 before shipping).... If I have too much buyers remorse later I suppose I can either cancel or sell it. The other thing is I'm not thrilled about (other than ny pricing) is their shipping... My vf-171 box was a bit damaged last time because of the flimsy cardboard they used. Hmmm wonder if they have a cancel option? I just kept hitting next without checking their preorder policy.

Can someone just ask Bandai why they're being such a bunch of A�
Mechapilot77 replied to Lupin The Third's topic in Toys
yeah i'm fricken annoyed at the situation. frustratingly, i can understand it. how it it more profitable to release so few toys that they sell out instantly. i get that there is a balance between having to mark things off to sell and having things impossible to get and somewhere between those two you will have a max profit...but Bandai...THIS CANNOT BE IT. seriously. i think people inside japan wouod likely have issues getting these things. sheesh. -
wtf. from announcement til now has been how long? sold out everywhere already? even nippon yassan (the superstar of the vf-171 episode of lets find the f-ing bandai valk)?! i actually wanted this one too. not just for how cool the battroid was but actually wanted to say "yes macross i've enjoyed this franchise for 30 years!". ok i'm ranting now but its deserved.
-
wow i'm not a huge yf-29 fan (the battroid of the alto din't do it fo rme, i actually sold mine to a friend), but this thing looks GODLY in battroid (whereas teh alto looked better in fighter mode). Roy Focker colors! "Hheros never die I Roy Focker can never be conquered!" Ok i made that up and partially quoted a different franchise. lol. Wish it had the skull and crossbones on teh the tailfins though!

Mechapilot77 replied to VF-18S Hornet's topic in Toys
thnx for the info. also is it thick enough that it will effect joints/movement like a coat of regular paint or does it go on thinner so you can just "go to town" spraying everything? lastly, does it effect the tactile feel? i wouldn't want the valk to feel tacky/sticky or crusty. thanks in advance. -
hmm i haven't used angolz in years...are they still reliable?

What did u use for clear? Looks good. I'd like to give my totally matte yammies a little semigloss myself but don't want to end up with something as glossy as say a bandai dx chogokin Mac f valk. -
Nice picture! Damn that EX gear looks awesome.... Might have to pick one of those up somewhere!
-
yeah i remember thinking it was cheap and that i should pick it up...went back today..its like $56 USD....i would not think that was cheap. lol. man...hopefully the sale will come around again and there will still be ghosts around.
-
crap i can't beleive i put off ordering the ghost and then forgot...sale is over right? or is that the sale price (10% off list)?
-
i just put an order in with nippon yassan. wonder if i'll get one. i've given up on teh possiblity of the ishop2go one...an dmy local shop hasn't contacted me yet either. :-( interestingly enough ishop2go has not sent me a cancellatin email or refund. oh and this time, i stupidly also ordered the weapons parts fot eh 171 on teh same order...didn't think it through so ended up prepaying for those too. should have split the order...oh well. hopefully i can at least split the shipping.
-
OK when are THESE parts coming out? This is totallly how i rememer teh 171 from the show....all armored up with anti vajra gear or whatever. WANT WANT WANT. assuming tamashi web exclusive again?
-
btw one of my preorders said this thing is being delayed again until july.
-
oh this is ridiculous. WTF bandai!?
-
ugh i have a vf-171 preorder and feel like i'm gonna get boned by this too. i am glad i preordered elsewhere as well though. not going to be happy about losing paypal fees and any exchange rate differences.
-
hmm, i have a VF-171 on order(preorder with prepayment) with ishop2go. wonder if the same fate will befall me upon that release. luckily (as it seems like it may), i also preordered at a local shop.
-
wow i MUST have that SD metal box vf-1s! any place have this on preorder yet? can't find it!
-
both great... prefer the vf-25 though.
-
WOW, I'd buy that in a heartbeat. That looks like a real world F-14 style color scheme that roy's is inspired by.
-
looks much better in this picture, still darker than the original proto images but i like it alot, maybe better even. too bad its delayed to June.

1/60 VF-1 Accessory Parts from Yamato displayed at Wonder Fest
Mechapilot77 replied to Graham's topic in Toys
not a bad color i guess. would have to wait until i saw the actual green they picked. i really really want to see some more non cannon stealth, or low viz type schemes (like the old 1/48s or something brand new in that vein), maybe even a digital camo scheme would be cool.
