All of the above. It really enhances battroid mode. IMO the Strike/Super armor looks best in fighter with gerwalk a close second. In battroid most of it is kinda lost. I would definately want a set for 1/60 and 1/48. Removable missiles, etc for the latter... yummy. It shoudln't be very complicated at all. And that custom one is bad ass!

In more ways than one.

I dunno... probably only get a 1/48 of the YF-21... those are just too big for me to get em all and the 19 is in distant 2nd to the 21 in my desires to have... plus it will be no doubt ugly expensive.

Damn they didn't change the head... but I wasn't expecting them too. And if we get a Max-1S, it will have it too... Why oh why didn't they sculpt it in front/back halves (like the 1/60) instead of left/right? Lack of panel lines doesn't really bother me, though. Otherwise sounds like the Roy -1S minus the numerous problems with Max/Low-Viz improvements. I'm probably game if I can find a good deal...

Phalanx ... well I actually like the Phalanx II from Macross II the best, but the Monster is a close second followed by the original Phalanx. I remember drooling and begging my friend to find me a Phalanx toy in Japan, if they had one, in addition to a VF-2SS. Sadly, looks like there never was... hopefully Yamato will one day do an MII series of valkyries, destroids, and enemy mecha... (Heh, still waiting for Macross or DYRL destroids).

Damn... that reminds me how much I dislike the head seam right down the middle. Why coudlnt they have had front/back halves instead of left/right, like they did w/ the 1/60? Ah well... Looks nice, though, hope we see it... though I think I'd want a Max TV VF-1J more.

Sweeeet. Yeah the box doens't mesh with the 1/48 boxes, but the box is going away while the FAST packs themselves will be proudly worn on the valk. Damn, I really wasn't planning on the 1J but that just looks toooo good.

What he said.

Got it. Thanks!

Damn. Geocities says it exceeded its allocated data transfer... Anyone else hosting this?

Waiting for extended and borrow my impatient friend's copy of the first one until then.

Should be good regardless. And hopefully 3's animation will be as high above 2's and 2's was above 1. Not complaining at all, just hoping it just gets better and better.

Well the gunpod opening, as seen in the animation above (I never noticed this detail before!) would seem to indicate it was the gunpod... I just chalk it up as a bit of flare. Why would Max purposely mount it that way on the arm? Wouldn't be better to use the gunpod as intended in the hand? Ignoring how silly making the gunpod go to the hands in the first place is, except for looking cool, that is...

Before I got my low-viz the YF-21FP was my favorite valk. Bit wobbly in battroid but not too bad IMO (better than 1/60 VF-1, I think) but I just love that Q-rau-esque stance. Love fighter mode too. Oddly, don't think I've ever left the transformation at Gerwalk... I like the color, but would have preferred the originals... and think they could have left the new scheme to a custom VF-22S ala the Low-Viz. Oh well. B)

I'm definately out for this since I skipped the Roy because of its problems. Wish they'd resculpt the head (get rid of the seam entirely) but with Graham saying it's due out in October, I really doubt it will be. I can live with it, though. I got my Low-Viz via EMS from HLJ. Not really that bad of a deal. Box was a bit scrunched... but I open and apply stickers and play with my toys some so it didn't bug me too much. I hate it if it was a collector though. I think I'll try SAL next though... anything to lower the price to what they SHOULD be (similar to HK pricing = 80-90 for a 1/48).

I really want a VF-17 and will probably get around to getting the Bandai one of these days. I have bootlegs of the Fire and Blazer valks and they're ok. Worth what their price anyways. I'd like the real Fire valk too, but really wish Yamato would do it. At least VF-X versions if not M7... And we came sooo close to the VF-22, with the unpainted teaser parts in Graham's YF-21FP prototype review...

Love this thing. Definately masterpiece of my collection. The "new CF" IMO. Only minor nit is that some of the stickers dont show up very well on the scheme, specifically the "USS Asuka" (yes, I applied it but u can barely see it). Hmm, I think we need the numbering thread again. Or maybe make pages for it on MW? Would that be possible Graham? Same for the CF thread we had awhile back. Like semi-"official" MW # claim page? Linked form the toys section (from the title or the low-viz and cf review pages)... Maybe with pictures of custom decals, etc? Just an idea. Oh yeah, I'm 181. B)

1/72 = 2 1/60 = 3 1/48 = 2 Really hope to add more 1/60, but not planning on too many 1/48 (if and until YF-19 and YF-21 get to the scale). EDIT: Added a 1/72 (VF-19A) and 1/48 (Low-Viz)

Yeah, I'd like a Metal Siren and a VF-2SS, please. And to second you on the VF-17D/S... but want to add VF-22S and VF-19A/S in addition to the (I think) confirmed 1/48 YF-21 and YF-19. Oh yeah, and 1/60 Glaug and Regult, please.

Hmm are all those members/names still active though? Maybe get rid of or just transfer those that haven't posted in over a year or something? I can think of more complicated things, but that seems the simplest and easiest?
