Captain Crunch

Wow that was quick! HLJ shows the VF-0D as "Discontinued"... any other known sources to purchase from now?

I haven't been on the board for a while, but wanted to chime in on my opinion about the VF-0D. I received mine the other day I after a long layoff from buying any Macross stuff, and I am very happy with this purchase. The level of detail for me is excellent, and I look forward to showing my co-workers who are into Anime this piece of art!

My toy investing gave me enough captital to buy real estate wich led me to become a millionaire. There are people that are billionaires now because of investing in toys. Now when I say investing, I dont mean toy hording. I always see people on these boards saying that investing in toys is a bad idea, but I doubt that anybody in this forum is stacking greenbacks like me. This sounds like an infomercial!

Can you provide a link or picture? I'd like to see this.

I like the low Vis scheme in this link: http://www.valkyrie-exchange.com/MWCon2001/DSC00078.jpg It's a custom from MWCON1.

Wow. Looks like my hopes of a new low vis is coming true! I would prefer it to be a 1S version since the Hikaru 1J is a greyish color. I would hope Yamato respects the limited release for the low vis 1A to keep fans happy.

I put mime new set on my 1/48 Hikaru 1A and it looks fantastic! It is definatley worth the wait and GBP-1S armor is an instant classic IMO.

Why don't you have them ship it to you? I would just in case your relationship goes south with the girlfriend. It would suck to see your Low Vis on ebay and an ex selling it!

I can custom paint one for you with a matte black krylon spray paint! How much do you want to pay?

When is the 1/48 YF-19 with fast packs going to show? Dude keep you negativty to yourself. This was a nice discussion about ideas for the other variants until you negative opinion reared its ugly head. Nowhere in this thread did the YF-19 come up until you brought your little tirade in to the mix. I would like to see anything other than a re-release. It was a breath of fresh air with the 1A Brownie release, and now we are seeing more re-releases.

Now that is a great idea! How many times can Yamato continue to reissue the same versions and not lose interest of collectors whom already purchased first, second, or third releases? I think that having other VF paint schemes would only help the collection of interested fans. Just take a look at the 1/48 custom pages to give Yamato an idea of what could be achieved.

Yeah right. Bring back a limited release? I would be pissed since I own 10 of those babies. 351151[/snapback] I know what you mean, even though I don't own 10 I can relate. IMO limited release means just that, once the company sells out that's it. 351185[/snapback] Unless the Low-Vis that have been release has an issuance number then my wishful thinking shall continue. Yamato can always re-release the Low-Vis in a similar fashion to the 1/60 TRU VF-1A and the TV version release. I do agree many people would probably be ticked off if this did occur since many have paid a premium for the limited release version.

Bring on the Low-Vis!

Thanks kensei!

I have the Hikaru Super-J version, and aside from the fast pack attachment points are there differences between the versions such as light gray versus a darker gray?

So far so good... I think the VF-OS looks way more advanced than the VF-1 in appearance. I'd like to see one in low-vis style.

I am currently starting my transition of "thinning the herd" of Macross. I plan to sell most of my 1/60 and 1/72 Yamato and 1/55 Bandai valks. I only plan on keeping a few 1/48 valks in my collection. I figured I have had enough enjoyment of my current collection and begin parting with my collection to other Marcrossworlders who have not had the enjoyment yet. I never have been a "gotta catch 'em all" kind of collector, but I am satisfied with what I have collected to this point.

I certainly ordered one for me! I really want to see a 1/48 VE-1 Elint! PLEASE YAMATO READ MY REQUEST!!!

Welcome back!

That is a Kick-A$$ custom. Good job!

Womprats? I used ta' bullseye womprats back home...

My condolences. Take care and please come back when you are ready.

Get the VF-1J Super. You won't be disappointed!

I received my Super-J today and I am very pleased with the overall build quality. I also am stoked the the super pack is included rather than having to purchase a seperate add on. The box is huge and the box art is fantastic and I am glad to be collecting again. I hope Yamato considers a 1/48 VE-1 and Super-O!

Graham- Is there a price point set for these 1/100 scale?
