Yamato's reputation would be hinged on the next few months Macross releases. The fixes better be there.

Damn ! Thats a hot piece !!! Must get ! Must get !!! Forget the X Box 360 !!

So sorry to hear about your case, I do hope you would get another Max VF-1J

I'm hoping that you will all be pleasantly surprized by the QC on the YF-19 as Yamato have really spent a lot of effort on QC for the 19.

Graham,

I pray that you are right... for the price we are about to pay for the YF-19, the qc better be good.

Release should be around the end of the first week of December.

Darn, I was hopping it was end of this week. Can't wait for this beauty !!

I am getting this anyhow, I do not mind it small since my room is getting too cramped anyway. Need more space and I hope Yamato can redesign their boxes to make it more compact. Their boxes take up too much space.

Oh man this is nuts, just bought the AB and now I have to fork out the money for the OA ?!!!

Gee the ABs must be dirt cheap in HK if he can buy 6 valks in one go !

Just received my sets from HLJ last week. Initially I thought I did not get the chase figure as all the figures I have were the same figures shown on the box. I thought the chase figure would somehow be different from the rest and not be shown on the box like the Max in DYRL flight suit in set 3. Luckily there is one glow in the dark Minmay in the set.

Thanx! Unfortunately... no store shall ever exist in Utah that would actually carry something that cool.

Well get in online dude, try ebay ("evil bay") or hlj !

So yeah, Yamato is pricing mediocre or QC problemed toys insanely high. People buy them up, though. What can I say, there's a sucker born every minute.

The VF-0, though...now that one is nearly perfect as far as I can tell. I do plan on getting an 0A. The upcoming YF-19, on the other hand, well...I can't believe people are going to shell out for that fat-necked monstrosity.

As I mentioned if only we could buy these local, (no importing) it might make is easier on the wallet. Also when something like the garland fiasco happens for macross stuff, we can get some kind of support and maybe replacement parts or something. I can sympathise with those who always wait for second releases of stuff to avoid the risk of poor QC and this is why I hope yamato at least have the right atitude about making improvements in later releases and stuff. (ie fix the GBP door mechanism, tighten joints, make the backpack piece more sturdy, more tampo printing etc)

Hear ! Hear !! I second that !!! Yamato should find ways to imporove their QC instead coming out with so many products in such a short period of time. After paying so much money for a single product, surely a higher QC should be expected !

DatterBoy,

Yamato seems to be reissuing a valk every 2 to 3 years, see how many times the VF-1S Roy has been reissued. Even Max and Miryia's VF-1J Super Valk which seems to be rare at the moment but I am sure Yamato would reissue them in the future. So if I do not get the AB or Kakizaki Valk now, it is no biggie, I would get them later when I have the money. As mentioned by other members, you certainly need to prioritize what you want. If I am getting marry or expecting a child, my priority would be to my wife or child and not my hobby. After all it is just a hobby

I hope increase their QC before they rush into producing so many different types of products, the QC for the Garland and VF-0S was not excatly decent !!

hey ikhii,

I must get some lessons from you, when the 1/60 YF-19 is out, you should do a VF-0 with a YF-19 fly by !!!

when is it arriving ?!! I am definitely getting one !!!

Actually Phalanx it is for a variety of other reasons, but good job by the Hornet Driver, must have been a Marine.

Im sure it was a Marine, since the airforce is full of pansies.

Nah, the pilot must be Max Jenius from UN Spacy !!! Only he can kill a more superior fighter !!!

Moderators, please feel free to lock this thread if this is the wrong thread.

Check this out ! A F-18 managed to "gun kill" a F-22 in Red Air Excercise !! Hurray for the Hornet !!!

Hornet Kills Raptor

Hey kurt,

That is awesome !!!

Actually, I think in one of Macross 7 "Dynamite 7" special (the one with the space whales if I am not wrong), there are VFs that was sold to an alien Nation. I could not remember name of the alien race but they look like elves.

Congrats dude !!! Next time, can we have someone dressed up as Max and Miriaya ? Just joking ! Anyway who is that Girl in pink ? she is hot !!!

Thanks Kevin for the info.

Missing deadlines is a god-given right of the toy industry.  Changing your mind without a moment's notice is also a god-given right to the toy industry (and women).  It would seem yamato is just exercising their rights.  Still, it will take them quite some time to perfect Toynami's ability to completely miscalculate release dates-

Pet Peeve number 429 - People who spam eagerly watched threads with posts like "yeah whatever..."

I hope no ladies are reading your thread !

Well lets hope the actual LV2 valk when it comes out is not too bad. I planning to get at least one of every 1/48 release.

Yes Kyatsu, you are one lucky fellow !!! So many years since the Low Viz was released and you still got one, I think you should also try buying a lottery ticket !!!
