I don't know man. Ever since I held my first 1/60 v2, it totally blew my mind! Sadly, the 1/48 has already phasing out on me with the exception of LV1, LV2, and The Stealth.
Yes, we know that!
Anyways, my friend knows of people who knows distributors. Also, the sales rep from HLJ was asking $200- for the VF-22S at SDCC '09 and we passed on it. HLJ, declined our offer of $300- for two pieces. No thanks HLJ!
Despite the continuous repaints and the discouraging MSRP, its not like Yamato has a real major competitor that makes such high-grade scaled model toys anywhere near equivalent as Yamato anyways.
Obviously, sucks for the overseas fanantics! Glad I got the following from a buddy that goes to Japan on business trips:
1. VF-22S $100-
2. VF-11B $130-
3. YF-21 $130-
I'm more curious as to why, of all your reviews, you chose to put this VF-22S on your lap?? It just feels like it was half-ass done as if you were being lazy man!
Lets leave the penile out of Macross discussion please!
Anyways, I'm not familar with the M7 and M-Plus cartoon, but this toy looks identical to the VF-11B. I didn't realized M7 and M-Plus uses the same or similiar molds like the VF-22S.
I'm looking at those destroids near the bow and I just can't see how this would house 5,000- civilians, military personnel, mechas, support equipments, etc. Maybe 5 feet long!?
We love your humor! And thanks for the additional cheerleading my dear Aussie!
I'm sure with the VF-2SS mold, Yamato can easily milk that too. Imagine the LV1 scheme and the MnM set!!
They should be! After all, we see claims that it was not popular in Japan. But I'm more impressed by those that talks shiet about it while the poll still shows the VF-2SS in the lead.
