Stand back everyone, and gape in utter awe at my MASSIVE COLLECTION!!!!!111shift+1 I feel sooo inadiquate... -Kyp

Dude, those customs kick ass!!!! I need to hire someone to panel-line my VF-0S and dull-coat seal it. -Kyp

You say the wings are loose...can't you tighten the screw to fix that? Does it affect fighter mode? -Kyp

Yeah, I saw that...I didn't realize that it would create a problem with that till I looked at the pics again... It still wouldn't be a bad idea to have them taller for fighter mode, IMO. You could always take the taller ones off and put on the stock ones if you want to transform it. -Kyp

You also mentioned somewhere that the YF-19 tail-fins were too short as well...I didn't notice this till I saw the lineart. I am hoping someone will cast them taller. -Kyp

And taller tail fins would also be nice as well. I would buy them both. -Kyp

Since Graham mentioned in his review that the tail fins weren't tall enough, who here wants to step up and make some custom tail fins that are taller to match the lineart? As I am awaiting mine, I know I would buy a set for mine. So who here wants to tackle the job? Anyone? Bueller? Bueller....? -Kyp

An SV-51 would freakin' rock, I hope that's what's next. I do wish that they would revisit the VF-1's in 1/60 and make them perfect transform and have the details/gimmics that the current VF-0's and the YF-19 has. But my opinon is biased as I my first and only Valk is the VF-0S, and my second is (Non-Macross I know) a MPC Alpha in 1/55 and my third being the YF-19 coming to my door step in Jan. -Kyp

If it's any consolation.... Some of us including me aren't getting ours still sometime around the first week of January. -Kyp

234 replies counting this one, and over 7,200 views in only 4 days.... WHEEEEEE!!!! I can only imagine what it will be a month from now. -Kyp

What I want : Tampo all markings. Make everything tight the first time around. Panel line them. See? I'm not hard to please, lol. -Kyp

Awesome, can't wait for the real tutorials to be posted. I will study them so that when mine arrives I will already know how to transform it. :cool: So... does anyone here think that there will be NEWEDWADS T.F.C. replacement stickers for the retarded NEWEDWARS T.F.C. screw-up? -Kyp

Awesome practice tutorial, Graham. And the wings are PLENTY long enough, there is NO need for "longer, sleeker" wings. I do see that the tail fins should have been slightly taller as Graham pointed out in his review, but fighter mode is still gorgeous as are the other configurations as well. I am also glad that it's the gun pod that needs tweaking, that shouldn't be a problem for me to fix. But I do have to agree that as much work went into this design, there shouldn't have been any issues to begin with, IMHO. But they are fixable though, thank GOD. -Kyp

He's already said that they can't be swept back. -Kyp

Excellent review!! Makes me glad that I pre-ordered mine...I just hope he gets them in and I get mine before X-mas. -Kyp

If it's the 7th in your time zone, then it's time for the review to get posted!! -Kyp

2 More days to go.... -Kyp

Well, let's just hope that Yamato has learned enough to make this one right from the get-go. Mine is already paid for and if Graham says that it's tight all around, then I will take him at his word till I get mine and see for myself. I don't know what you're talking about...it looks awesome to me. -Kyp

So, is the Dec. 7th release date still on track? -Kyp

That's the great thing about hot glue...you can remove the glue with 0 damage to the plastic! I may get me some clear epoxy and place a very light coat around the tabs and see if that does the trick. -Kyp

Cool!! It will look great next to my VF-0S then...kinda like old v.s. new. -Kyp

So... How big is this joker gonna be? Looking at the pics, if that box is the same size as my VF-0S and they had to put that puppy in at an angle, it's gonna be huge!! -Kyp

Is the fighter mode nice and solid? My VF-0S was a floppy, retarded mess...so I hot glued mine in a couple of places since I was gonna display it in fighter mode anyways. I hope my YF-19 will be a different story. -Kyp

I liked the matchbox version that I bought back in '85 better...it was a much better value for the money, IMHO. -Kyp

And that's why I already sent my deposit for this, I can't wait to get this badass Valkyrie in my hands and display it next to my VF-0S, 1/60 Hikaru VF-1A, and my soon-to-be-had mint MPC Lancer Alpha. I have a VERY good feeling about this one, and I hope they make all the variations possible as well! And I will be sending the remaining balance this week when I get paid again too. -Kyp
