newca Posted May 19, 2007 Share Posted May 19, 2007 The main landing gear post is too high, I cut it off Done! Compare with other 1/144 jets, how tiny the VF is! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Razorclaw Posted May 19, 2007 Share Posted May 19, 2007 Compare with other 1/144 jets, how tiny the VF is! It's not that small. Its only about half a meter shorter than F-16, I would have also said Mig-29, as the length I knew for it was 14.5 meters a few years back, now I see its stated as 17 meters like F-18 (the Mig 29 that is). And VF-1 fills the same role as F-16. VF-19 is like F-15 or Sukhoi-27/33. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MechTech Posted May 19, 2007 Share Posted May 19, 2007 I just saw this. They look pretty accurate. I just wish they were 1/200 like the Goshapons. Thanks for sharing everyone. - MT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RT junkie Posted May 20, 2007 Share Posted May 20, 2007 I just got my hands on some of these today. I gotta say I'm pretty content with what they give you for ~$5. Nice call on fixing the main gear though newca - that was pretty sad looking with the nose pointing at the pavement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

big F Posted June 6, 2007 Share Posted June 6, 2007 (edited) Picked some up in Tokyo while I was there this last week. Ther are some QC niggles but nothing to wory about too much (on mine anyway). I only found one place in Shinjuku that had them and then only some of them, All the usual suspects in AKi and Nakano were out including the back street off the main track shops including one that stocks Chara Works and F Toy products almost exclusively. The real bumber is that I didnt get all of em. I meant to go back before leaving, despite staying in the Kieo Plaza only a couple of hunderd yards from the shop and passing it twice aday, I was just too busy. Oh well theres alway next time Edited June 6, 2007 by big F Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jenius Posted July 25, 2007 Share Posted July 25, 2007 I finally did a review of the set I got, you can check it out by clicking here. In the meantime, here's a teaser pic from the review: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MechTech Posted July 25, 2007 Share Posted July 25, 2007 Where's a good source to purchase these? I haven't really found anyone. Thanks. - MT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hiriyu Posted July 25, 2007 Share Posted July 25, 2007 Unfortunately, they're pretty much sold out everywhere. There are a few sets on Ebay, but they are being sold for waaay more money than is justified. As Jenius mentions in his review, here's hoping for a series 2.

ruskiiVFaussie Posted July 25, 2007 Share Posted July 25, 2007 (edited) Series 2 i want Enemy Mecha. Q-Rau Green and Red, Glaug, Fighter Pod (PLEASE!!!) Zentran power armour, possibly a Zentran scout ship... what else? lol Of course Regults! Destroids would be an obvious next line.

big F Posted July 25, 2007 Share Posted July 25, 2007 So what ones did you get Big F? Did you buy a box or only a few? :-) I got a CF a green one and a Hikaru, at least I got the chase figure. I gave the Hikaru to my brother but Hopefully I can get another one some day. I really hate this limmited release stuff they come out and every body buys up multipul sets just to hock em on eBay for stupid money.

ruskiiVFaussie Posted July 27, 2007 Share Posted July 27, 2007 (edited) lol. Yeah they sold out fast didn't they, but seriously for the money and the thrill factor you get from opening 10 or so boxes and collecting a full set is seriously worth the money. Your right, ppl that get the full sets and hock them for triple or more the value, are sad, but who is going to stop them... a full set is a full set.

ShadowerV2 Posted July 28, 2007 Share Posted July 28, 2007 For the benefit of others, where did you find them? I found them in an Anime Shop in Brisbane, Queensland, Australia. They only brought in one box of 10 (Is it 10?) and I bought 6.. a friend of mine picked up one and scored the Strike Focker on his first try! Curses...

chowyunskinny Posted September 12, 2007 Author Share Posted September 12, 2007 series 2? from toysdaily anyone care to translate? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
do not disturb Posted September 12, 2007 Share Posted September 12, 2007 it looks promising, but so did series 1. weren't these things riddled with problems? 1. mystery packaging so you don't know what you're buying 2. no guarantee you get all of them even if you buy an entire case 3. chase figure gayness...maybe its in there, maybe it isn't. 1+2+3 = none of my money Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jenius Posted September 12, 2007 Share Posted September 12, 2007 From what I understand, it was like a 90% chance you'd get the chase if you bought a full box... it really wasn't much of a chase. Price wasn't bad either, i think I paid like $35 for the whole set from someone who made sets by opening the boxes so there was no worry about getting them all. There were some build issues but my entire set was good but for the price, I would kinda expect some build issues. All-in-all, they're decent enough. I will buy a series 2, and this one looks to have a VT-1 and a minmay act, that's pretty cool! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
