Yamato 1/60 YF-21 (preordered) 1/200 YF-19 (If close up pictures shows that it looks good) 1/60 VF-1S Super/Strike combo Anything else new that's coming out in 1/60 from Yamato Bandai 1/60 VF-25 Ozuma 1/60 VF-25 Alto 1/60 VF-171 (If/when it comes out) I'd like to mention that the Bandai 1/60 VF-25's will automatically take top priority over anything coming out by Yamato when these become available. -Kyp

I agree, I think it's gonna be very much worth the $208 shipped that I'm paying for it. Actually, if that gloss stays, it will be the first new line 1/60 that hasn't had a flat finish that I'm aware of... -Kyp

Man, what a great time to be a Macross fan...this is going to be one of the very best years ever. Well, I guess Graham's sig is gonna come true after all, it just won't be by Yamato but rather Bandai. And I'm sure a VF-171 isn't too far off either. -Kyp

Whoohoo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!111111111Shift+1=! I don't care who makes it, as long as it gets made and is good. -Kyp

I believe that's Hasegawa's 25th Anniversary VF-1 model built up for display. -Kyp

Good luck with that, I haven't been able to get a hold of him via email for a while now. -Kyp

$125 USD for the Strike/Super combo? Sounds good to me! -Kyp

Blue feet and gun pod on the 1J? Pass. The YF-19 looks decent though, I'll probably get that one in fighter mode. -Kyp

So are these for the modelers then? If so, then that sucks balls for the rest of us. -Kyp

Oh man, that sucks ass...looks like I'll be praying for the MPC Beta to come out. -Kyp

You and me both, my friend. I always display my Valks in flight on the flexi stands from LOS. Them not having landing gear is no deal breaker for me. -Kyp

Well, as for the 1/60 scale, I'm pretty sure that one of their reasons was because the Mac 0 and Mac Plus toys came out to be about the same size as the 1/48's when made in 1/60 and they didn't want to make them any bigger than that, so they decided on 1/60. As for the 1/200....I haven't the slightest idea why they went with that. -Kyp

What kind of paint is used and how durable is it? It looks absolutely beautiful! -Kyp

Oh wow, in that case, I'm definitely gonna make sure I know what I'm getting before I order them, or like I said waiting for someone here to sell their extra's. Man, this is great, they can make just about ANY Valk from all the series and OVA's...the possibilities are limitless. -Kyp

So let me get this straight, each box will contain either the YF-19, VF-1J, or the VA-3M in the three modes and each box is blind packed so there's no telling what you'll get? I guess I will either have to wait and order the ones that have been confirmed or wait for someone here to sell their extras. And I'd be willing to bet that we'll see not only Max and Millia's VF-1J's but their VF-22's from Mac 7 as well.... *drools* -Kyp

Nice, I have one too, but I put most of the stickers on mine, so I guess mines the military version since the freedom fighters Alpha's were unmarked. And that's no joke, these make the MPC's look like top of the line Yamatos. -Kyp

A Max YF-21 would be even easier since the main blue color is already close, all one would have to do is tape around the yellow markings and paint them white. -Kyp

*Spits out soda* Ppppppppfffffttttttt!!!!!!!! WTF?!?!? OMG....a 1/60 Tomahawk? OMG....a 1/48 weathered VF-1S that looks like a custom job? OMG....the 1/200 sculpts look AWESOME! Damn you, Yamato....damn you all to HELL!!![/Charlton Heston] -Kyp

LOL...you know damn good and well that someone will be recasting the canopy and making VF-22 conversions available. It's just a matter of time once these babies come out.... -Kyp

Screw the link, let's just go ahead and repost Charger69's pics again, shall we? (I don't think he'll mind) Ain't it beautiful?!? -Kyp

OK, so it's like I thought, they are going to be offering the Roy 1S w/Super and Strike parts first then both separately. I'll be getting them all at once anyway, so I'm glad this is coming out first. And Yamato is coming out with their own small scale Variable Fighters collection?!? Damn, I guess I'll have to hold off on getting anymore Chara-Works 1/144's because I'm sure Yamato's 1/200 scale series are going to blow those 1/144's out of the water. And they're coming in April too, so we should be seeing some pics real soon. -Kyp

I'd be upset too if I ordered one and got something like that. Which MPC Alpha did you get? -Kyp

Got a little Roy in you? Please drink and fly responsibly. I had a few extra jolly roger stickers from my VF-0S and thought "What the f***..." -Kyp

I'm hoping they will come out with a Millia and Hikaru 1J that's like Max later on. I want a Roy 1S that's plain with movable wings as well as a Max and Millia TV Super. I'd also like to see some non-cannon schemes too. -Kyp

I've noticed that on the Shadow Chronicles Shado fighters, the upper thigh piece is the same as the regular Alpha fighters and that the paint scheme is now more like the Blue and Green Alphas as well. Not very "shadow-like" anymore if you ask me. I might get the regular SC Shadow fighter, but I'm not getting Maia's, that pink scheme makes me wanna vomit. I still prefer my Sue Graham Shadow over the SC version. -Kyp
