bryan_f_davis@yahoo.com Posted February 6, 2006 Share Posted February 6, 2006 Wow. This forum has grown fast! Many people have said their low vis is "less special now." I don't agree. I am working on aquiring one from a macross world member right now (backed away from another one). As soon as there is speculation on the release of a similar item or a re-issue, the originals get abanonded or less loved. The low vis is still the holy grail for most 1/48 collectors. The fact is, the original release is so small, and they are so hard to get, that they will always be valueable and sought after. Or maybe, I'm just saying that cause I have not closed the deal on the low vis, and I am still high on the very thought I am even getting one. But I do not think the nostalgic ora will ever ware off. I love my valks. I mean LOVE. It's dangerous. They are my babies. And... And... And it's getting late, and I am not really going anywhere with this. -Bryan D.

The next generation of '48s, whether 'Low Viz or Stealth Vf-1's, are another version of the theme and are different than what we already have...Relax, guys!

I sure hope so.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UN Spacy Posted February 6, 2006 Share Posted February 6, 2006 You guys think Low Viz auctions on E-Bay are ridiculous? THIS is ridiculous. I know it's been posted before but this is just SILLY. http://cgi.ebay.com/Robotech-Masterpiece-B...1QQcmdZViewItem Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
myk Posted February 6, 2006 Share Posted February 6, 2006 .........You don't think they'd release the same thing again, do you? Ok, if Yamato did that, then I would be angry... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok, if Yamato did that, then I would be angry... 367241[/snapback] Well, I don't know what to think. I do like the finish of the Low Vis, like the painted landing gear bays. If it is the exact same thing I'll probably just get one. If it is (hopefully) a new different one, then I'll get two or more, if I can that is. Fingers crossed..

Mechamaniac Posted February 6, 2006 Share Posted February 6, 2006 As a former Low Viz owner, I'll be the first one to speak up and say, meh. I had the Low Viz, and after awhile, it was just a gray plane. The coolest thing about it IMHO was the Zero style pilot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The coolest thing about it IMHO was the Zero style pilot. 367303[/snapback] Exactly! I think the low vis is kind of a boring paintscheme. I'm much more curious about the stealth variant. Stealth means nearly invissible to radar right? Radar uses radio waves right? It would be possible to use radar in space right? Therefore, unlike a FAST packed low vis, a stealth Valk with FAST packs is a possibillity! Kind of like a special forces VF-1. That would be a b@d@ss toy I WANT ONE!!! (Yamato, please make it a Vf-1S ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Godzilla Posted February 6, 2006 Share Posted February 6, 2006 Look, Didnt Graham said it would be different? The LVs are LE as Yamato stated. Now this new LV scheme would be different or so Graham's source says. Do I feel jilted? No. It means another LV squadron for me to form.

Guppy Posted February 7, 2006 Share Posted February 7, 2006 I've been away for 5 weeks and this is great news to come back to. Like was said earlier, the 'April' release made me think is was a joke but if Rob's got an ambiguous listing from yamato I'll believe that!! (haha, unless Rob is in on the joke too ) So.. anything else I missed??? (must go shake off jet lag now) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skull-1 Posted February 7, 2006 Share Posted February 7, 2006 The low vis boring??? I guess you guys think F/A-18Es are boring, too. Feh. The low vis is the coolest scheme out there next to the Max "J". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shin Densetsu Kai 7.0 Posted February 7, 2006 Share Posted February 7, 2006 I kind of itch for a blue angels valk. Its BEGGING to be done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DatterBoy Posted February 7, 2006 Share Posted February 7, 2006 (edited) IIf Yamato starts doing these paintscheme's that weren't really in the series or DYRL it makes me wonder if they will ever get to producing anything but VF-1's in the 1/48 scale. They know the hardcore collecter's will buy any VF-1 variant they put on the market so why invest in making a different model? 366316[/snapback] I am hoping for an Angelbirds 1A. Would be SWEET! 366367[/snapback] It'll never happen... just make your own. Edited February 7, 2006 by DatterBoy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bryan_f_davis@yahoo.com Posted February 7, 2006 Share Posted February 7, 2006 A 1/48 blue angeles valk will be amazing. Then again, so would a 1A Max (TV). That is the one I am waiting for. And waiting and waiting. I dont think it will happen either. At least the VF-0 is coming out. That puppy is sweet! Anyone seen SAVEROBOTECH's photos? Drool. I mean, SNAP!

Shaggydog Posted February 9, 2006 Author Share Posted February 9, 2006 My sooper-sekrit source sez the new low-viz will definitely be a different version than the previously-released limited version.

1994cobra Posted February 10, 2006 Share Posted February 10, 2006 I will definately be picking a new low viz up.. And that "version 2 parts" sounds intersting too.. Heres hoping its a low viz version of the Strike armor! I will pass on the stealth version however. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
