    Yes, the super parts would fit fine.

    Kicker, watch this video!

    I'm hoping it's at least a year away so they can get some feedback from people who adopt this kit. Then again, if Arcadia really is making 1/60 V2 toys later this year then it would seem unlikely.

    It seemed like Alto sold a little better but it's hard to judge because we don't know the production runs of either the original issue or the reissue.

    Have you watched my video: Usually it's because you don't have the legs straight enough.
  6. jenius
    You know, if that pivot gimmick on the upper legs was right below the intakes it would probably work out pretty well and not look nearly as goofy. I would put absolutely no stock in any rumor that Bandai ignored Kawamori. That sounds like fanboy rage.

    There was one in the box on eBay France not too long ago... I think it went for 2kish.

    If this is a precursor to a DX toy, I hope they make it so it pivots at the hips instead of underneath them... that looks kinda janky to me. I love the ankle flap, the inability to camber the feet has always been a big issue with achieving dynamic poses.

    This doesn't seem like a question specific to Rinkya. This is a question specific to the customs of your country. If you live in the US I don't think there's any reason to declare anything other than the actual value since you won't be hit with a customs charge.

    I have finally reached the point in handling my 171 toys where my hands instinctively go to the right places and it is a much less frustrating experience... and I'm enjoying these guys a whole lot more. If it weren't for those stupid wings I'd be getting warm and fuzzy about this one.

    That's neat enough, thanks Lobizon.

    I wish that picture would load for me.

    From what I understand, Kawamori could care less. In fact, he'd probably prefer people get the Yamato offering since he worked with Yamato than something Toynami produced on its own. It's BigWest that would flip a lid. Since BigWest is the company that decides who does and doesn't make Macross toys it's in everyone's interest to keep them happy. The only way Toynami could have sold V2 Yamatos is if they had purchased the molds from Yamato upon their bankruptcy (which clearly did not happen).

    The problem with the black credit card valk was that it was a VF-1J and Yamato then released the same thing with gray details and called it "stealth." I remember shortly there after seeing "credit card" valks for sale... it seemed people might have been stripping the paint off their Stealth valks and claiming they were the credit card valks.

    I heard that the 1/48 line died because a V2 1/48 toy would have been prohibitively expensive. I don't think you'll see anyone take it up again.
  16. jenius
    That was the point. There's a lot of differences between models and toys but the primary differences tend to be that you have to assemble and paint a model but not a toy. So, if Arcadia got the license from BigWest to make 1/60 transformable 'models' they might theoretically be able to just keep selling the V2 kits (not the completed painted toys) as models. Since Hasegawa doesn't make 1/60 transformable models they wouldn't see this as a competitor and that's how you might get something like this joint venture. Again, just more idle speculation. It's possible that Arcadia did manage to snag the license to make 1/60 toys and after the 30th anniversary scheme we'll see reissues.
  17. jenius
    But Hasegawa doesn't make transforming models in 1/60 scale that are essentially toys. If Hasegawa didn't view Yamato as competition when Yamato started making their "kits" I doubt they would now.
  18. jenius
    Why would they make a toy sooooooooooo huge?
  19. jenius
    At first I just assumed this would be Hasegawa quality markings to go on a Yamato 1/60 VF-1 kit but it mentions gimmicks. I wonder if Arcadia was able to go a different route and get the license to do 1/60 VF-1 'models' instead of toys? That'd be a neat twist. Then they would just start selling the unassembled VF-1 kits with Hasegawa quality slide on decals or something.

    Alright, the 1/48 VF-1 post has been updated to reflect that those pictures were from Save. Sorry it wasn't there before.
  21. jenius
    Ha, I was going to post that same pic when I got home. I think Save gets the credit.
  22. jenius
    I don't think a copyright means much of any thing... It may be just that garish scheme.
  23. jenius
    Just because Arcadia allegedly* hadn't gotten licenses yet doesn't mean they should be counted out. Maybe it just takes several months to get them or maybe a formal liquidation of Yamato needs to happen first. Plus, sometimes what I hear is already dated. I know my predictions sound negative but I hope they get the rights to some series. I have no idea what's going on with this model thing but the lack of any other vf1 news has my expectations very low. If Arcadia can make v2s they're choosing a sorry way to start.
  24. jenius
    I think I confuse people because I'm vocal with what I'd like to see happen which often times has nothing to do with what's actually happening. The only thing I've heard about Arcadia was that a toy Yamato was working on probably wasn't going to happen.
  25. jenius
    I look forward to hearing some details. I've heard some interesting rumors lately.
