protostar8 Posted March 21, 2005 Share Posted March 21, 2005 I know I have seen and purposely bought other cheap knockoff valks, but I have never seen a YF-19 (or Macross Plus) knockoff. Anyone know if they exist? How much? I have been wanting one of the white YF-19's that Yamato made ever since I got the VF-19a (I just like the white and black color better) and don't want to pay a fortune for a YF-19.

AlphaHX Posted March 21, 2005 Share Posted March 21, 2005 Yup, doesnt exist. If you want the beige and black one, u either pay the fortune like everyone else or repaint it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
protostar8 Posted March 21, 2005 Author Share Posted March 21, 2005 Hi, Thanks for the info. I know that Yamato doesn't currently have any new news on a FP YF-19, but does anyone know if they plan on selling the rights to Macross Plus so that a really good FP YF-19 might be made by another company?

AlphaHX Posted March 21, 2005 Share Posted March 21, 2005 (edited) Unfortunately, at the moment... not that we know of. There still some of us who still hope for Yamato to follow through with the YF-19FP. But from the looks of it, its nowhere to be seen. I'm kind of glad that I'm a model person too. News for Macross toys has been so depressing lately. Edited March 21, 2005 by AlphaHX Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valk009 Posted March 21, 2005 Share Posted March 21, 2005 Yamato have left Macross fans to die Most projects have either been pushed back indefinitely or cancelled for good What we can now more or less only hope for is that they will release the 1/48 GBP-1 armour, other than that do not put all your eggs into one basket!

shiyao Posted March 21, 2005 Share Posted March 21, 2005 SolScud007 (a member here at MW) has done a really good repaint of the Bandai Fire Valk. It doesn't look exactly like the Mac Plus YF-19, but it *is* in black and white colors (relatively speaking). You can check out the pics in the "Customs" section of MW, or look for the thread on it (hanging around somewhere here on the forums). I do know that he's open to selling it, if you're interested.

TheLoneWolf Posted March 22, 2005 Share Posted March 22, 2005 No Yamato toy (barring the CM's) have been bootlegged. Even with their design and quality control issues, they're extremely complex toys! Too complex or too expensive for the average bootlegger. Anyone else remember the Toynami bootlegs? lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Radd Posted March 22, 2005 Share Posted March 22, 2005 I think he's making a joke at Toynami's expense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

protostar8 Posted March 23, 2005 Author Share Posted March 23, 2005 (edited) Why do companies turn their backs on fans when they see they can make even more money by just tweaking a current design and adding a few accessories? I mean if people are getting 200+ US dollars the Macross Plus YF-19's, then you would think Yamato would want to start making more so they can get some of that money. But, I guess some companies just don't see things my way. Also, Have the bandai fire valks been made into knockoffs?
