Lonely Soldier Boy Posted November 24, 2006 Share Posted November 24, 2006 (edited) It has been said wether the Fast Packs will come with the Fold Booster or not? Given the size of each item it would be silly to sell them separately wouldn't it? Edited November 24, 2006 by Lonely Soldier Boy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scream Man Posted November 24, 2006 Share Posted November 24, 2006 No the Fold Booster comes with the FP's. And Now it seems that the whole set will be packagaed with a modified 19 to have the second seat... Unless that panel behind the chair on the 19 we have seen slides back or soemthing...?

do not disturb Posted November 24, 2006 Share Posted November 24, 2006 No the Fold Booster comes with the FP's. And Now it seems that the whole set will be packagaed with a modified 19 to have the second seat... an extra pilot figure, 2 leg armors, and a green dildo....pass, pass, and pass. i think i'll just keep my 19 as a 1 seater, FP-less, and dildo free, thank you very much. what kills me is, you know they're going to package it in some giant arse box for no reason, so even if the MSRP is inexpensive, they'll make up for it in postage.

And Now it seems that the whole set will be packagaed with a modified 19 to have the second seat... Why are we assuming that 19 is modified in any way? I kinda doubt it. I think that's the original YF-19 and it had room for Neumann all along. Graham... am I wrong? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eugimon Posted November 24, 2006 Share Posted November 24, 2006 I doubt it would a modified Yf-19 to accomodate the 2nd passanger... makes no sense. I would guess it's a plug you pop out and replace with yang in a little seat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roy's Blues Posted November 25, 2006 Share Posted November 25, 2006 What I am wondering about is when the YF-21 comes out. Yamato's current SOP is to release the basic fighter set, then the FP set. Will the YF-21 FP set come with a green dildo? It's not shown in the anime Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Hingtgen Posted November 25, 2006 Author Share Posted November 25, 2006 It's assumed though, as that's how the -21 got to Earth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Renato Posted November 25, 2006 Share Posted November 25, 2006 Though I haven't seen it myself, I hear the box for the 19 is ugly as sin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyp Durron Posted November 25, 2006 Share Posted November 25, 2006 (edited) Well, I sent off my 25% deposit on the YF-19...now to sit back and wait for it to be ready to ship. Please, oh PLEASE have everything tight like it should be and get it right the first time.... Yeah, I know, wish in one hand and $h!t in the other... And I think I'll keep mine dildo free kthnx. -Kyp Edited November 25, 2006 by Kyp Durron Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, ya gotta figure the box for a Yamato toy would also be made by Yamato and "ugly as sin" seems pretty much par for the course. I think they were on the right path with the early 1/48s (black with some text). That said, I think the Super Hikaru TV VF-1J has a nice post-apocalytpic feel to it.

David Hingtgen Posted November 25, 2006 Author Share Posted November 25, 2006 I wanted one that lit up, but wanted it "right". The fold booster clearly glows GREEN just prior to entering fold space and that in one of the few CGI scenes in M+, going through fold space is a very trippy, colorful experience. As I mentioned earlier, it is VERY easy to get rapidly-changing swirls of colors with LED's, tons of small pens/toys do it for less than 5 bucks. And bright green is even simpler and cheaper. Of course, red LED's do usually cost slightly less than green, so there you go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jenius Posted November 25, 2006 Share Posted November 25, 2006 Well let's not judge too quickly. They might have just thrown a cheap light in it for the purpose of the display and to say "This thing will light up" but that might not really represent exactly how it will light up.

Graham Posted November 25, 2006 Share Posted November 25, 2006 Just to let you know, I've got about 60% of the photos for the review done as well as got the sticker and instruction sheets all scanned in. Just gotta finish the rest of the photos tomorrow and then get the actual review written. The review will be posted on Dec 7, which is the official Japanese release date.

Kyp Durron Posted November 25, 2006 Share Posted November 25, 2006 Hopefully they will have learned from other first releases and this thing won't be a floppy mess. Looking foward to the review! -Kyp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kyp Durron Posted November 25, 2006 Share Posted November 25, 2006 Great to know!!! My VF-0S that I just got in yesterday was a floppy freaking mess...it's also my very first Valk. I was gonna keep it in fighter mode anyways, so I took my hot glue gun and placed some hot glue in 4 strategic places and now fighter mode is rock solid. Another good thing is that you can still take it apart and peel the glue off and it doesn't leave a single mark!

ruskiiVFaussie Posted November 25, 2006 Share Posted November 25, 2006 ... so just how many of us are still waiting for the review before investing a cool 200 US? I am. All this talk of being non floppy SUCKS! I'll wait dammit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ignacio Ocamica Posted November 25, 2006 Share Posted November 25, 2006 Since I hate waiting, I already paid for mine!!! I had no major QC problem so I guess the YF-19 should be ok Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jenius Posted November 26, 2006 Share Posted November 26, 2006 I'm waiting, but not for any particular reason. It's mostly 'cause I'm cheap. I'll probably hold off until I can buy three valks at once and save on shipping. I'll probably wait and buy a Shin 0A, YF-19, and 2nd Edition VF-0S. Of course, any one of those might get bumped for a Ghost or a FastPack/Fold drive set. In the meantime, I'll benefit from everyone else's experiences Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All this talk of being non floppy SUCKS! I'll wait dammit. I'm not... Graham already said it's tight as hell and that we'll be pleasantly surprised with the QC. Preorders are also closing left and right... The yf-19 is the diamond in the rough as far as quality goes compared to the crappy colored, lazily made, feature lacking add-ons coming out... The yf-19 is as good as gold. Not having something as special as that this holiday will only be your loss. It should be on everyone's santa's list.

And that's why I already sent my deposit for this, I can't wait to get this badass Valkyrie in my hands and display it next to my VF-0S, 1/60 Hikaru VF-1A, and my soon-to-be-had mint MPC Lancer Alpha. I have a VERY good feeling about this one, and I hope they make all the variations possible as well! And I will be sending the remaining balance this week when I get paid again too. -Kyp Edited November 26, 2006 by Kyp Durron Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gian7675 Posted November 26, 2006 Share Posted November 26, 2006 The section behind the pilot seat is removeable. The Fold Booster set will include FPs,Yang + seat. Graham Pssst...so Graham...how much would the Fold Booster, FPs, Yang + seat would cost? Will they cost as much as the 1/48 Strike/Fast Packs? Surely not the cost of the 1/48 GBP Armour Btw, theoretically when would Yamato release different colored versions of the YF-19 (Excalibur and Fire Valk and hopefully a gray one ) based on past releases of the 1/48 VF-1's and the VF-0s? How long did it take to release the VF-0A since the VF-0S was released? Is it safe to assume that it will take a shorter period because no new head sculp is to be used? Only a different colored YF-19 will be needed for the recolors right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

C'mon Graham, we want to know! Sorry Gian, I think Graham's made it pretty clear that he tells us what he can. If the pictures don't show a Yen amount under the display models then chances are Yamato hasn't made the info public and thus neither can Graham... same with all the other questions asked.

eugimon Posted November 26, 2006 Share Posted November 26, 2006 not to dampen your enthusiasm, but a fire valk would involve more than a little red dye and a new head. there's tons of different parts involved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dizman Posted November 26, 2006 Share Posted November 26, 2006 Just a thought Graham, would the fast pack addon include the arm cannon thing? If so i still might get the fast pack set. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graham Posted November 26, 2006 Share Posted November 26, 2006 No, the arm cannon thing is not included in the fold booster FP set. I've been talking with Yamato for a while now to try to persuade them to make it, for a second set of accessories, perhaps together with the wing missiles shown on the cover of the TIAS M+ book, although this would require new wings with hard points (not a big deal). We'll see. Graham Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's correct, a VF-19Kai/F/S/P would require 99% new tooling, as nearly every single part is signifcantly different from the YF-19/VF-19A.
