After looking at that pic of the armoured battloid - it does indeed look amazing!! But it costs almost the same as a valkyrie itself!! I just started building my 1/48 collection ... getting the GDB armour may have to wait ...

Yeah, can you post a pic of the box art? I'm curious to see what it looks like ....

Wow - that thing is sweet!! Great job guys - Are you going to paint it when you're done?

Actually, here's another question: Q) How good is the GPB armour?!? Man, that set is friggin expensive!! Comments?

Thanks for all the great feedback folks - much appreciated!! I'll have to check out the transformation link/video that some of you mentioned - thanks for the reference. As for the strike/super parts - hell, I broke down earlier and pre-ordered a VF-1J super stealth! Can't wait until it arrives!! Still unsure about the 1/60 valkyries - but I will start looking around eBay auctions to see if I can find one at a decent price ... maybe. And yes, Myk - I intend on getting a 1/60 VF-0S .... I think. The review posted here makes it sound pretty sweet - but with limited funds, I really want to build a decent 1/48 collection. Here's hoping Yamato re-issues Max's 1/48 DYRL valkyrie!! Thanks again all!

Man, it's been a long time coming ... but I finally got a 1/48 Yamato VF-1S Hikaru valkyrie!! WooHoo!! My first 1/48 toy - and it doesn't disappoint! I've lurked around these forums and feel ashamed - yes, I fell "victim" to Toynami's marketing ploy with their Robotech MPC (Major Piece of Crap) valkyries - thinking they were the end all, be all toy version of the valkyrie. When I got a Rick version, I was really disappointed. Not knowing about the 1/48 Yamatos, I also bought a Max MPC too. Later, I saw the classic 1/55 Bandai re-issues at a local store and bought a VF-1J Hikaru. Man, it was way, way better!! But after "educating" myself via the internet on valkyrie toys, I now know better. The ONLY seemingly good valkyrie toy is a 1/48 Yamato!! Although, they are a bit pricey. I have read the newbie thread, but had a few questions: 1) While I am getting more comfortable with transforming the 1/48 valkyrie (can be tricky at times) - anyone know where I might find an english version of the instructions online? Just so I know I'm doing everything correctly. 2) Are the 1/48 super/strike fastpacks worth it? At $60, that's half the cost of a new 1/48 valkyrie. 3) Is there any point in getting a 1/60 Yamato valkyrie? I've been reading about the weird removable leg transformation .... 4) Will Yamato re-issue the 1/48 VF-1A DYRL Max version? I love that paint scheme!! Thanks in advance for answering.

Hi all, Just got my first 1/48 valkyrie and I love it! I finally managed to get a VF-1S Hikaru DYRL model. Newbie question: Do you know if they will reissue the 1/48 DYRL VF-1A Maximilian Jenius? Thanks in advance
