CkRtech Posted April 23, 2005 Share Posted April 23, 2005 (edited) Hey all - First post. I have to say that I felt this incredible pull just hit me all of the sudden shortly after I took some time to check out some pictures of the Valkyries of the current era. The pull was "gotta get some" - and the first one is on the way. What an expensive hobby! I collect Generation 1 Transformers, so I am used to big spending....but there are only a handful that either reach or past the cost of some of the Valks. I am sure this cost issue will be thrown aside as soon as I see my first Valkyrie in person. (And in my own hands I might add) Anyway, my question is this (as stated in the topic) - Are there plans to produce a 1/48 VF-1D? If there is one already out there, I am unaware of it. I am just now learning about the different versions of the VF-1S (crooked skull, different seats, etc). In any case - there is something about the "Training Valkyrie" that sets it apart. I have no idea what. Maybe it is the paint scheme and the two pilot cockpit? No idea. Input is appreciated. Thanks a bunch Edited April 23, 2005 by CkRtech Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Godzilla Posted April 23, 2005 Share Posted April 23, 2005 We have no idea what the plans are. Yamato has been tight lipped. Why? Who the hell knows. All we know is the GBP is coming for the 1/48. However, there are plans from some MW member casting the VF-1D parts for the 1/48. Do a search. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Veritas Posted April 23, 2005 Share Posted April 23, 2005 Welcome to the hobby, heh, it gets a strangle hold on my bank account every once and a while so you gotta be prepared heh. Like godzilla said, its still up in the air about anything new in the 1/48 line other than the annouced GBP. Figuring that they made just about every valk in the 1/60 line, it would only be likely that they would do the same for the 1/48 line, but as of now, theres 4 valks that i can think of off the top of my head still missing with no sign of them on the horizon. VF-1D VT-1 VE-1 VF-1A (Cannon Fodder/Brownie) Here's hoping at least one or two of them are released eventually, but theres no guarantees. Even the Brownie which requires not really much more than a new paint job hasn't been hinted at, so its all speculation from here if well ever see any new 1/48's.

Fortress_Maximus Posted April 23, 2005 Share Posted April 23, 2005 welcome aboard. no one knows anything when it comes to Yamato, just play it cool and read the updates/rumors as we post them. In the meantime, please read the FAQs and older posts to bone up. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mechamaniac Posted April 23, 2005 Share Posted April 23, 2005 The speculation around here is that Yamato has pretty much dropped the ball on two seater variants of the 1/48 line. Hence, I started this thread... http://www.macrossworld.com/mwf/index.php?showtopic=13404 Be sure to check it out, that will probably be your best chance to get a VF-1D. Welcome to the forums BTW!!
