Scream Man

i dont think so, no.

Doesnt sound like this has happeend to anyone else though

i got mine today.

i love it, I think its an awesome mecha. Mine is fault free, and i have transformed it multiple times now. Very cool toy, Im happy as a clam

hey guys

tanx all for the replies, I decided to wait and see till i got my garland, which i did today.

I think Id need a cool military lookijng character. Hell, if i could find a Macross looking guy, id use him and add UN spacey stickers to the garland or something.

In all, they are a bit to pricey to import for my money. But thanx all for showing me some pics

oo, i like that pic. I ike the light grey/white colour

i just like the idea of having good valks in all scales. the 1/60 valk, i feel, is a let down in many areas where i like the 48. hell, even just a Skull schemed one.

i want one of every type of Macross fighter in Skull squadron type and colours. all the "s" equivilant if that fighter has one. a little roy museum.

there u go, i circled em for ya

basically, the pins just slide free of their houseing when there is slack put on the hinge. i can slide them back in no sweat, Im just trying to figure a way to make em stay. Kensei has suggested wood glue, but the more I looked at it, the more i think all I need to do is find a way to plug the end hole somehow. Im still working on it.

And on the garland front; Juast got mine, and its perfect

id prefer an optional ghost as well. I like the 0A, but not so keen on the ghost

wow, really? no one else had this?

its a pretty far away shot! the light isnt great. It may just be the light isnt hitting the fighter right...

i know the VF-1 is a smaller plane to the zero, but I was looking at the pilot figures, and i wonder if it's to small anyway. i might have to do some calculating and figure it out. Ive only got one 1/60 left (The 1D).

i think the improvments id like would be:

*Improved Landing gear system and design

*Improved nose section

*integrated slide out heat shield

*swing bar legs

*improved look of the heads

*less di cst t avoid scratching and keep price and weight down

*better locking backpacks

*removable intake covers

essentially the 1/48s, but smaller. Its a shame toy molds cant be shrunk down.

We got the 0's at 60, we're getting the mac Plus valks at 60....But the old 1/60 VF-1's just dont live up to the same standard. Yamato has now perfected the tech for making the VF-1, so will we ever see 1/60 scale Valks again? Updated, better ones with the swingbar legs and the perfect transform? Before you scoff, remember that the Mac Plus valks have been out already and ina different scale, and post people are going in for round 2 because the new ones look ALOT better.

And if we did get em, would you buy it?

Me? Id be tempted to get one or two at least. Just so i had some all in the same scale that were as good as the newer products Yamato has put out.

could it be attached to the missles on top? And then the missles attach somewhere?

I dont know the plane well enough...

Good, they will include the other weapon pods too. The grey isn't the actual color,  it's just the unpainted resin prototype.

the ghost pack maybe, but the valk is painted. U can see the kite logo and arm stripes.

ah well. hopefully they will become available again soon

ok, its happeend a few times now.

The metal pins connecting the shoulder plates to the back plate keep sliding out of thir sockets. mainly the right shoulder, but the left just did it too. has anyone else had this, and how can i fix it?

i wouldnt even dare to ask....

So where does one get those cool stands from? The clear ones witht he ajustable arms?

WOO! My 0 arrived

Well, the first one anyway...

But the point is, the plane is here and looks GORGEOUS! I had a moment of panic when i saw the tailfins werent atached, but they snapped back into place straight away, and it probably saved the rear fin thingys anyway

i havent transformed it yet, but im LOVING the fighter mode!

edit: Ok I have transformed it now.

SLIGHT moment of panic. Was changing and suddenly a metal pin fell out. i had a vague memory of some metal pin problems being mentioend here, so got a tad paniced. as it turns out, it was where the chestplate meets the top of the shoulder. How it slid out, I dont know. Its back in now, and all aseems well....

People are rigth about how loose it is, but otherwise I love it stunning toy!

It should be ALOT cheaper. even if it is full sized to the 1/60, its one piece with a lot less detail and moving/removable parts. If it costs the same or close to it, count me out!

dayum! that looks fantastic! the more pics i see the more i fall in love

im thinking (To answer my own question earlier) thae head DOES move. It looks like there is enough of a gap to make it look up and down.

Special features huh? removable clip on the gunpod maybe?

Well, it seems to me that the battroid can keep itself in the air just fine (from what I've seen in the anime). All the Ghost would do it propell it to speeds the battroid can't handle anyway. Remember a VF can't transform to battroid once it surpasses a certain airspeed.

The battroid could probably handle the ghost pack speeds for a time. I mean i wouldnt go crossing the atlantic in that mode, but for short bursts i think it could prove advantageous in combat.

Well, thatsanother issue entirely.

Ill grant u I dont know all the specs on the ghost packs. Hell, I thoughyt those yellow tubes below the pack were some kind of extra gattling gun or fired lots of small missiles or something. But how would the ghost be useless? couldnt it still provide extra thrust in battloid mode?

of all the many questions asked, u answered THAT one?

Theres gotta be more u can tell us!

maybe, though it would have helped.

I dont see any reason it could transform with tghe ghost attached. the wings and tail would have to stay out, but otherwise it should all still transform fine...

yeah i know the ghost stays attached. I duont know if Id buy one myself though. i like the 0's and i think Id probably buy reactive armour....but the ghost pack never hooked me.

thank u muchly
