Well, as with my sig, yes, I have all the variants, less the Tornado pack.
So yes, while they sold very well, it doesn't automatically mean that all people who bought them really like them (as in the DX toy, not the design of the 25). I don't deem them worthy enough to be displayed in fighter mode alongside my Yammies.
I'm an example of one who bought them only because Bandai is the only kid on the block as far as 1/60 scale VF-25s are concerned.
The exception to the DX toys is the VF-27. I deem it worthy enough to be displayed alongside my Yamato valks, even though I know some here might not think the same way.

Bad ass. 1/60 unpainted version?
This has to be the 1/48 version. Just look at the neckline of the battroid mode.
Of course, fantastic work as always Kurt... and yes, need some reprolabels!

*takes a look at his interests.....* D'oh!! Pwned.... lol~!

That one time in SDF:M where the SDF-1 transformed into a giant robot, and punched another ship with it's ship arm. I've always felt that it it was a rather silly, unnecessary element to an otherwise dead serious hard science fiction program.
Also I've never been sold on the idea of aircraft transforming into robots in general. again, it just doesn't fit with the serious nature of the show.
These 2 aspects, especially the part on transforming aircraft, form the core of Macross and the basis for the existence of this very forum. So....if this was the worst moment and you are not into the transforming aircraft concept.... can I ask why you are here at this very forum and regularly posting?

Basically if the exclusives are Macross Chronicle exclusives, like the 1/48 Max and Kakizaki TV 1As, HLJ is not likely to get them. As far as I know bothe the VF-X and AB are both Chronicle exclusives.
Seems to me whatever tie-up HLJ and Yamato has so far are only for the Yamato web exclusives, like some of the weathered versions, the VF-1S unassembled valk, the 1/60 regult and 1/2000 SDF-1

If you are buying stuff from HLJ's various sales and wanna maximise your shipment, the 6" ones are still available from HLJ. If not, then its the webby above for the full range

Right at the end of Macross Frontier, both Series and movie alike, the characters act as if everything oh-so-happy-in-my-own-world and oblivious to everything else. Even the hundreds and thousands of people who have perished in the Vajra attacks just mere hours, or even minutes before. Just isn't right.

BTW, what happened to the Ghost booster sale? It was on backorder sale at discount a few days ago--...well, it's still on backorder, but it's no longer on sale. I thought the sale lasted until the 24th?
That is why way with this kind of sales: You snooze, you loose. The sale runs til the 24th. After that ALL items go back to their normal prices. In the meantime, whatever stocks they have depleted, they will pull it out from the sale. That was what happened last year, or any other sale without those specific counters that says "XX (number) left"
So for those who still want the TV Roy and are still on the fence, I think you might want to order ASAP. I think it will go the same way with the Ghost Booster. In fact I am surprised it hasn't been pulled from the sale yet.
-
Buy it when the stores have a good discount or somebody is letting it go at a good price
-
No need to transform it, not meant to in the 1st place. Looks good!
-
Yes. because as with Gundam, they practically sponsored Frontier. So, they have certain exclusive rights. So we won't be seeing Yamato VF-25s. Not for the next few years anyway.

Congratz1 We needs pics! lol~!

Decisions decisions...
Any advice on which one to get?

Unless you have another preference or already own it, or if you can have only 1 of those to represent the Y/VF-21/22 series, get the Gamlin version. At 55% off compared to max 50% for the rest, the choice should be pretty clear.

Just got the following items for myself and on behalf of a friend... wallets gonna be very dry...
KDK15319 Macross The First #01 1 560
KDK15527 Macross The First #02 1 560
YMT00185 VF-1S No Paint Kit 1 4060
YMT00195 VF-1S TV Version Transfor 1 5880
YMT00208 VF-1A Kakizaki w/ Super & 1 7680
YMT00209 VF-1A M. Jenius w/ Super & 1 7680
I have a friend in HK right now, hopefully the recent re-run of the Super and Strike packs are available there and at a good price!
-
As above. Just thought i share this in the toy forum, since there is way more traffic here than the "correct" where-to-buy-Macross sub-forum
Some items are going at good prices, like the Roy VF-1S TV edition, all the VF-22s at 50% and slightly OT: the 1/24 Ingram Alphonse is at 50% and the CLAT version is an amazing 65% off.
Happy buying!

Canopy Haze
in Toys
Quick answer. Future floor wax. Should fill up and scratches that causes clouding (not if the plastic is inherently clouded) It should also seal the rainbow tint and prevent it from cracking (if your canopy has it)
Please do use the appropriate thread for similar queries though.
-
They normally use the prototype pics for these shots/ covers, so what you see may not be representative of the final product.
Anyway, i agree their box art standars have taken a serious nosdive recently. I can still live with that, as long as the actual toy is top notch.
-
Looks pretty good in Blazer colors!
-
Exactly.... sheesh!

You won your money back you say?
If so, get another one. you have nothing to lose but everything to gain suppossing that unit in dispute actually turns up.
If you are concerned about the cost of the renewal version, maybe you can get the Double nuts or BOP at a pretty cheap price right now at Toy-wave, at less than 116 US each, before shipping and before 5% dsicount. Maybe the HLJ BF sale taht will start in less than 3 hours might toss up some great deals. You never know
If/ When the actual unit actually turns up, you sell it (or the one you had to "rebuy" at a good discount to people here. You get a little something, and another can get a YF-19 at a good price.
Sounds like a win-win situation for you.

Anything after (and including) the VF-11C release. You check out the pinned thread for the chronology of releases
-
Thats too bad. One could safely then assume there will be no Spartan either.
Since the CAD was already done for it, maybe we can hope for it to be revisited... if/when there is renewed interest in the era of the the riginal Macross TV series (in-universe 2008 - 2012)
No Spartan... well, it was pretty much made clear that there was little possibility, if any of it being made, since day 1 of the announcement of the Destroids, largely due to the inability to share part of the mould (waist and below) with the other Destroids.

After 10 years since the release of the 1/60 version 1 Hikaru VF-1A, the Yamato VF-1 line has more or less officially come to a close with the retail release of the VF-1S TV versions. Not a bad way to conclude the VF-1 series, given the fact that the TV Roy pilot figure makes its debut in the VF-1 toy history.
I am definitely looking forward to the VF-19 series, including all variants listed above, and maybe some non-canon, but real world schemes.
Excited to hear the VF-**, and I hope we will see it released alternately between it and the VF-19 variants.
Good to hear that there are also more projects with regard to Macross an I definitely hope that they will be VF related, or at least in 1/60 scale , for consistency's sake. Hopefully something for the 30th Anniversary of Macross.

That normally happens... so prepare your wallet for some serious drainage of $$..... and welcome to the club of yamato 1/60 V2 VF-1 owners
