I'm down with an M&M reissue... I wouldn't buy another set, but having paid $400 for the pair I have and knowing that a reissue would be about that same price shipped makes me feel good that I basically broke even.
-
Yeah, not really concerned with the markings... as long as the colors are straight, I'm set.
-
It's not a matter of worrying about availability... I could get the parts for cheap now, stick a bit of paint on them, and have them ready for the 25G when it gets in this month. So... why not?
-
At a discount price of $70, I went ahead and ordered an Alto Super Parts set to use with the 25G. Seriously, it only has minor color changes in 5 spots, so with a simple repaint on those sections, I've taken out the drama of waiting for yet another Bandai exclusive preorder sh*t storm for the "official" 25G colored parts. (High 5'ing self).
-
I pre-ordered an extra set just to make that color scheme a reality...
-
Haha, thanks for checking Chrono... I actually checked the other day too just before reading your post, and figured I could just switch the 1D backpack out entirely for the VT-1 pack so that the boosters would work.. or I might just stick my 1D's head onto the VT-1... so many ways to be ghetto about it, I need to just pick an option. lol
-
Funny, but my only interest in getting either a 2nd VE-1 or VT-1 would be specifically for the super parts... I don't need a 2nd valk of either one, but I'd sure love to slap their backpacks and super parts onto other valks with similar colors.

Yamato 1/60 Super/Strike parts + Option parts reissue
ultraman zoffy replied to Swoosh's topic in Toys
Thanks Chrono... it doesn't look hard to mod at all; I know that I'd have no use for the single seat parts if I buy 2 fp sets, so I'd just throw them together for my Virgin Road valk. As far as the VT-1 packs on the VF-1D, I've just been too lazy to pull those valks out of my case and try it... lol. But, I assumed it would work as long as the 1D's fins aren't folded down.. crap, I hope it works! Also, good thoughts on the 25G... Bandai's supply issues and their toys' quick jump in price shortly after release is making me hesitant. Still, I've got a bunch of house stuff and holiday things to consider, so something has to give... I just don't know what yet! haha -
Yamato 1/60 Super/Strike parts + Option parts reissue
ultraman zoffy replied to Swoosh's topic in Toys
Can anyone confirm if the single seater option parts set can be connected to form the two seater VF-1D style setup without modding? Or would that require gluing them together? Thanks in advance peeps... Honestly, these announcements have me stressing over my budget for the rest of the year! I might have to let a pre-order or two go, and it's looking like the VF-25G might be sacrificed for 2 FP's and the potential VT-1 reissue right now... I've been wanting to stick a VT-1 super parts set onto my VF-1D for a long time now, and a reissue would finally make that possible from a cost standpoint. -
Yamato 1/60 Super/Strike parts + Option parts reissue
ultraman zoffy replied to Swoosh's topic in Toys
There is... TV set is a lighter bluish color, DYRL is a darker greenish color. This announcement is too cool... at least 2 fp sets for custom work, but a pass on the ve-1 in favor of a possible vt-1 reissue and all the future mac f valks. My budget is Macrossed out! lol -

Wow, I didn't know it was impossible to appreciate both Robotech and Macross! It's a good thing I come to these forums to get straightened out by elitist fans! Pfft... whatever.
-
Well... who knew the Japanese Jimmy Page was going to be rocking this thing. I can see your point after that.
-
Haha... well, I think if we break it down into degrees of awesomeness, the TV SDF-1 and Glaug come out on top by a hair or two.
-
Yamato has done the research and decided that making a TV SDF-1 or even a Glaug could never possibly have enough appeal among Macross fans to sell well and justify production. In the meantime, those same marketing geniuses just know THIS thing will be a massive hit and totally worth making: ... good looking out, Yamato. Pfft.
-
Just arrived today: this nice, sparkling white SDF-1. Great condition except for one of the tiny antennae missing, but easy enough of a fix and the price was nice. No idea how I'm going to fit a cavalier in my 1/60 Yamato section now though...
