wow, the fp looks really nice on the yf-19, i really like it. now just waiting for low vis color scheme to come out, with a nice set of fp.

Yamato, pls DONT make the vf-1s low vis or enigma, and certainly not the Thunder Hummer, cause doing so would drain my pockets, and get my girl friend to be very angry at me!!! You are just making my life easier by not doing the color schemes i really want. Sometimes, it's actually good when the manufacturer doesnt listen to you = more money in your pockets. I just pray they dont come up with another insane iirresistable dea that will have me spending over 200$/each, not till mid-end year anyways

The VF-1S wins no contest here, move along pll. The vf-1s is the most coolest in robot mode. Its very stable, tight joint, and great transformation with locking systems, and feels like you are not being ripped-off for the money you are paying. The vf-0s doesnt have that feeling. Sure, it maybe nice in plane mode, but in robot mode, i think the vf-1s shines the most. Since i dont have the yf-19, i cant talk, other than say that i see alot of problem threads on them. Hopefully the 2nd/3rd edition will be a charm. Now, after the vf-1s, my favorate is the vf-0a. Beatifull color, more locking mechanism, and NO disapointments, like the vf-0s was.

Night Stalker, shame on you!!!

Graham, Can you pls tell us the following: 1) Is the color scheme of the low vis 1 never gonna be reused? Or just the low vis 1 which was a vf-1a anyways, and not the vf-1s that we want now. In any case, would it be possible to have the same color as a vf-0a on a vf-1S, or something of the genre??? It doesnt have to be as nice as the low vis 1, just in gray or steel type color. Thats a possibility right?? Pll are mentioning the Enigma. 2) Is the Thunder Hummer or even a GPB with a similar color scheme possible, or do you think it wont be done or highly unlikely???

dante74, For the low vis 3 vf-1s, i believe the problem is easily solvable. If low vis 1 scheme cant be remade, then make it like the vf-0a, the stealth (but black heat shield), or just use any gray/steel/aluminium color. Even if they take the color scheme from Masterpiece Starscream would be nice. I preffer uniformity, but i guess the Enigma is an option as well. The only reason i havent bought the new GBP armor is the non-uniformity, and also why the Enigma could also not be my favorate choice. For the Thunder Hummer, that would be more expensive as they dont have the tooling. What does IIRC and Kitbash mean??? In any case, worst comes to worst, even the color scheme is great for a GBP armor. I think honnestly that this Thunder Hummer is the meanest thing and coolest thing, and sure Yamato would make money on it, and would be worth doing it. As for the guy that said that 1/48 should be over, well this thread is for those who still want them, and thus the title 1/48. 1/48 are still the safest choice, no flaws, real toy. Some of the newer toy may look better in plane mode, but still, do not have the same perfect tighness, and other flaws in material/strength. So although we are going towards these new designs, there remains alot they get perfected. Waiting for a second/third release of the new toys is longer than yamato making some mods on 1/48th, or just color scheme.

As already said in my questions to Yamato, here are the REAL releases we ALL want: 1) Vf-1S Low Vis or Enigma (i rather the low vis gray scheme, but either way would be nice) 2) Thunder Hammer. Can anyone seriously resist this??? U might say you can, but in the end, you would buy it, and you know it!!! Thats it for 1/48th for me anyways, unless i see something unexpected which makes my jaw drop!!! I guess anything that is army silver/gray/black would be interesting.

Common guys, you are missing the 3 most important questions of them all: 1) Will Yamato make Low Vis 3: a vf-1s in gray/low vis 1 type. If for some reason this cant be done, then what about Enigma (which was mentioned by others), or better yet, see question 3. 2) Can they confirm the release of a yf-19 in low vis type color, and when (say towards the end of year would be good). 3) Any chances they make the Thunder Hummers VF-1S Armored Valkirie??? I am praying they do this one: http://www.macrossworld.com/macross/magazi...002-page-25.jpg

Hey Dante, I see from your nice collection a Strike Rouge Gundam which i am guessing is a perfect grade. Is the perfect grade same size as a 1/48 vf-1s?? Any chance you can take a picture of the vf-1s and the strike rouge togheter, for size comparizons?? Thx.

I personaly want a plain vf-1S low vis (would be called low vis 3), not the enigma. But if they aint gonna make it, and they actually do a good job with enigma, then i will buy it of course.

It looks to be the size of a fix gundam. I was hoping it to be size of 1/60 vf-1. Still, it does look very nice.

Vf-1s LOW VIS 3 is what we ALL really want, and anything else is uncivilized (or should i say, un-urbanized)!!!!

Can anyone take a picture of this sdf with a 1/60 vf-1 or a mastergrade gundam??? pleaaaaase!!!!

skull001, I love your pics. Btw, the stealth strike pack isnt that great on Roy. Vf-1a hikaru though does look better.

Get Roy's latest version, 4th or 5th, you will be good.

nugundamII, i understand your unsatisfaction. Also, i do agree that MP Starscream is an EXELLENT toy, and i love it alot, right after my vf-1s roy, and my vf-0a. Also, it costs 50-100% less than the yamato toys, however, i still love my 1/48 vf-1s and vf-0a better. I do have a good suggestion for you though. Dont buy the 1st edition, or even second edition of the Yamato toys. I am sure the 3rd edition will be a charm. I made the mistake of buying the vf-0s, and boy was that a mistake (though i do like it in plane mode). The vf-0a is so much better, and mine doesnt have any stress mark that i have seen, but i would buy a pair of replacement parts for it, as to me, its worth it. Yes, its that good. You could get it the recast one, its only gonna be 10-15$. My favorate toys in order are as follows: 1/48 vf-1s, vf-0a (i cant afford the vf-1a low vis 1), MP starscream, MP Optimus, vf-1j stealth. I havent bought the yf-19 1st version, and happy about my decision. I am hoping second version is the orange or blue, and the third version will be the low vis (the ONLY one i will buy) so it will be perfect. Good Luck

Graham, Could you pls take 2 pictures for me. One with the sdf next to a 1/60 vf-1, and one next to a 1/48 vf-1. Thx

I hope someone here will have it available for us. I would need 2 pairs if they are not too expensive, eventhough i havent seen a crack yet, better safe than sorry. And besides, i would not be interested in the Shin, the vf-0a (plain) and the vf-1s are still my 2 favorate toys ever.

I would be interested in a set for a vf-0a when they come out, so pls let us know about that one. Thx

any got this yet, we need pictures and your reviews!!!!!

The people that bought this, can you put more pictures, and your feelings about it?? Thx

I really like these, pls take more pictures. Also, can you take some pictures of your Roy without the boosters, and also, with the head guns at a different angle. Have fun in the forums, lotsa new stuff going on.

Guys, comon, the best scheme is the low vis one. Pls yamato, make that your third version of this toy, with ALL fixes and options, and make it end of this year, and make it same price as the yf-19 now . hehehe, anyways, i am more interested in yf-19 low vis then sv-51 first version.

GUYS, you are ALL forgeting the best PART of whats to come: Yamato are planning other non-canon repaint schemes for the YF-19, including possibly a low visibility version and an all new color scheme especially designed by Mr. Kawamori. LOW VIS YF-19, oh my God, my prayers have been answered, maybe . Man, i didnt get the yf-19 because i want dark/low vis scheme, and am really exited about the alternatives. About the SV-51, in plane mode, the black and also the gray scheme are my favorates. However, from the model pictures, i dont really like the robot mode. Maybe i would stick with buying a model instead of this plane, eventhough i want the black scheme.

Guys, i dont know what a sv-51 is. Can you guys put pictures from macross or something. <edit; nevermind, i know what it is: New Question, WHICH color will it be, and why will it be more expensive than a yf-19???> Also, how does everyone know its coming out???
