bigkid24 Posted January 29, 2005 Share Posted January 29, 2005 You may be able to get a replacement hip from some of the Japanese board members. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Radd Posted January 31, 2005 Share Posted January 31, 2005 You do realize that the VF-11 Fast Pack version has a sturdier hip, right? I've had one since they were firt released, transformed it many times, even took the thing to work with me and played with it there, and I have had no problem with the hip breaking. Nor have I heard of the hip breaking on anyone else's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
promethuem5 Posted January 31, 2005 Share Posted January 31, 2005 The FP version has redone hips with a metal rod i beleve. That and teh fact that from what I've read, it is actually quite easy to repair the non FP version hips with a metal pin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Feyd-Rautha Posted January 31, 2005 Author Share Posted January 31, 2005 thanks for info..i'll opt for the FP ..sounds good! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graham Posted February 1, 2005 Share Posted February 1, 2005 Yep, the VF-11B FP version has improved hip joints, reinforced with metal pins. Very sturdy now. Read my review. Graham Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sneakers Posted February 1, 2005 Share Posted February 1, 2005 between the two the vf-11b and the vf-11b FP, which one do you guys prefer? i lean more toward the vf-11b, just because it was a first release and the first macross + toy as for the hip joint, I haven't broken it yet, so far...

Graham Posted February 1, 2005 Share Posted February 1, 2005 between the two the vf-11b and the vf-11b FP, which one do you guys prefer?i lean more toward the vf-11b, just because it was a first release and the first macross + toy The YF-19 was the first Macross Plus toy that Yamato released, followed by the YF-21. The VF-11B was the third Macross Plus toy they released. Personallly, I prefer the FP version of the VF-11B, mainly for the nicely sculpted pilot figure. I definitely prefer the color of the gunpod on the original release though. Graham Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robomatt Posted February 8, 2005 Share Posted February 8, 2005 I picked up my VF-11B for the first time in a year and the leg just kind of dropped off in my hand. There was no pop or crunch that one usually hears when a part breaks on a plastic toy. Does anyone know where to get a replacement part? I am wondering if I might be better off to just buy the fastpack version. But I want my $$ to go toward newer toys, not to replace toys I have already bought. Anyone got any help for me?

Fortress_Maximus Posted February 20, 2005 Share Posted February 20, 2005 (edited) Like the fighter mode for years but held off b/c of the concerns. Will this or the YF-19 or YF-21, EVER get done as a 1/48? I know silly question, but what are your thoughts? I'd buy them if they were created as well as the 1/48s.

kanata67 Posted February 20, 2005 Share Posted February 20, 2005 I just bought one on ebay with the hip replacement. Want it? I got it from here. I just bidded on it bacause I want the VF-19A. I want it. I just want one to display in fighter mode anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zeo-mare Posted February 20, 2005 Share Posted February 20, 2005 both hips broke on mine i used a metal rod to fix it, it is a nice looking toy i like the design for both the fighter and battroid, but damn those hips are pathetic if you are going to get any get the Fast pack version. chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fortress_Maximus Posted February 21, 2005 Share Posted February 21, 2005 Anyone else prefer the YF-IIB FP more than the regular version? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graham Posted February 21, 2005 Share Posted February 21, 2005 VF-11BFP all they way. I love the pilot sculpt. And of course the metal reinforced hips take away all the worry when playing with or transforming the toy. Graham Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VF-19 Posted February 21, 2005 Share Posted February 21, 2005 Anyone else prefer the YF-IIB FP more than the regular version? Well, I never had the... enjoyment of owning an original VF-11b, I did pick up a FAST pack VF-11b, and I'm a very happy customer. I've always assumed that I'd be bugged by the shoulder bars, but truthfully, they don't bother me at all. However, I do find myself wishing that Yamato came up with a better heat shield... At least they gave you two... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1/1 LowViz Lurker Posted February 21, 2005 Share Posted February 21, 2005 (edited) I don't know what the original was like (keep hearing it was fragile?) but I am happy with FP version of vf11b. For anyone out there who was worried about anything breaking on this toy: don't be. It's sturdy and I've transformed it many times and don't feel as if anything is going to come off. Actually the VF11b FP gets more love from me than the FP yf21. I can't stand the purple color they used instead of blue. grr.. Also the yf21 tends to have floppy legs and the backpack pops out (doesn't clip down as firm as I would like) when you have it in battroid mode sometimes. My head laser cracked when it fell off my desk while it was in gerwalk mode. It would have been good if yamato made the head laser part out of a softer, more flexible material like they have on this bandai 1/65 vf17 that I've recently got. Really light and safe to handle.

Fortress_Maximus Posted February 22, 2005 Share Posted February 22, 2005 Good to know, how does the YF-IIB FP compare to the YF-19(all of the versions)? I like the scuplts for both, but I don't feel the YF-19s are as study (gaps) as the YF-IIB FP. Thoughts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
