Raygne Posted August 22, 2007 Share Posted August 22, 2007 Originally I didn't like the SV-51, but the more I see of it I can't resist getting it. I won't take the chance of ordering before some reviews, but if all goes well I will definately get it quickly. As for Nora and the gold. I'm not a fan of her anyways so it's not much issue for me. I know gold on toys is sometimes too much and can look cheap. Hopefully they tone it down so it's not solid gold and maybe a little burnished. The Dobber repaint would be very nice though. The colors just work well with the design, which could pry some more money from my wallet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would be like the LV1 allover again. until then I just want my Ivanov. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VFTF1 Posted August 22, 2007 Share Posted August 22, 2007 The colors just work well with the design, which could pry some more money from my wallet. Don't get me started on wallets, man, you knwo what happened in the YF-21 thread, doncha? :) As for where to order from on the internet - if you live in Huston, I'd say go with Bigbadtoystore.com. I order from HLJ, who are cheaper (for obvious reasons!) and very reliable, but that's because I live in Europe and would just be over-paying with BBTS on this one... But if you live stateside; might as well just get it with BBTS. VFTF1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guld Posted August 22, 2007 Share Posted August 22, 2007 I was looking at the Yamato website, and they put a release date for the SV-51, it's the 28 from this month RELEASE DATE! Finally I suppose that it is a finally version...not fails Have you seen this transformation video on the Yamato site? http://www.yamato-toys.com/dev/cont_021/index.html Nice I think is safe to assume these are production samples. That's enough tampo for me Source. The Yf-19 too, two models...much money Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ruskiiVFaussie Posted August 22, 2007 Share Posted August 22, 2007 Just like the VF-1 with Strike/Fast packs the extra boosters on the SV-51 make it look EXTREMELY BAD ASS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twoducks Posted August 22, 2007 Share Posted August 22, 2007 The gold on the 25 aniversary valks looks real good. Almost yellow in some places. Hope they use that bright gold on Nora too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vermillion21 Posted August 22, 2007 Share Posted August 22, 2007 I'm planning to pre-order the new SV-51, but I'm not sure from which website to pre-oder. I live in Houston and SV-51 will be my first Macross toy, so I don't want to risk it. From which website did you guys pre-ordered your SV-51s, and do you advise your websites? Try Lost and Found Toys, a very reliable seller: www.laftoys.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vermillion21 Posted August 23, 2007 Share Posted August 23, 2007 Thanks Vermillion21, but laftoys is already soldout, I will try bigbadtoystore... D'oh! Sorry about that. Mind you, they typically have a few extra when the order arrives. But at a slightly higher price. Good luck finding one mate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VFTF1 Posted August 23, 2007 Share Posted August 23, 2007 heh. Now I'm glad this thing is being released end of the month - I need my next paycheck to pay for it Funny how I was wondering Lot of Beast Wars Neo/II or this and ended up buying 300usd worth of BW, then decided to get teh VF-OS, then also picked up Encore Starscream, then fell in love with and bought 6 Revoltechs, and all the while was waiting on the sv-51 Good thing I auctioned off some old TFs or I'd be more broke than a boxer's nose now VFTF1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest sh002 Posted August 24, 2007 Share Posted August 24, 2007 graham said it was confirmed for the end of august just 5 days ago so i'm still hoping for that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kicker773 Posted August 24, 2007 Share Posted August 24, 2007 unless i missed it, but i think all of the decals are stickers on the SV and not tampo print.. check dannychoo's page he's got pics of it naked.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eugimon Posted August 24, 2007 Share Posted August 24, 2007 I wouldn't worry about the pic on danny's page. He's not exactly a macross fanatic and I doubt he has any more recent information than graham. Besides, we've seen pictures of the sv-51 with both tampo and stickers. I doubt yamato would go through all the trouble of making the stamps only to shelve it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest sh002 Posted August 24, 2007 Share Posted August 24, 2007 nothing wrong with no review yet. just as long as it is coming is fine with me. graham sure has priorities before this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

warpaint22 Posted August 25, 2007 Share Posted August 25, 2007 I wish they would print those little details, all it would take is one pass. IMHO I think all the markings should be tampoed on at the prices we pay, I really dislike stickers. The gold would have to be tampoed on ( one hopes ) the nora just imagine placing all those stickers, it's hard enough doing it on the Hasegawa kit with decal solution.

eugimon Posted August 25, 2007 Share Posted August 25, 2007 Yeah, generally I dislike it when people say things like: but bandai... but in this case, look at the MP SS... even as much of a POS it is, I love all this nice detailing on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
warpaint22 Posted August 25, 2007 Share Posted August 25, 2007 I just think that stickers gives that little bit of tackyness to otherwise great product aimed at collectors. I just can't see many people buying a SV-51 for thier five year old to fly around the back yard. And if there is someone out there that buys there five year old one can they buy me a few I'll fly around with him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperHobo Posted August 25, 2007 Share Posted August 25, 2007 I second that notion! I wouldn't mind flying around looking like a complete idiot if it means I get 3 free SV-51's. xD Hell, I'll even dance like a little girl in rags if they ask me too. On a serious note if the ship containing these things is already on its way to China then it should to still be on schedule. Patience is needed and Graham like the rest of us has a life outside of MW. Yes I said it he and all the rest you guys out there have a life outside MW. xD Personally Nora's color looks ok too me, but I'm not going to buy that one anyways. Me thinks I should start saving for the 1/60 YF-21 coming out later in 08. Until then more Transformers will go on ebay! Look for the seller mrxwind for all your transformer, coin, comic book and gemstone needs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Twoducks Posted August 25, 2007 Share Posted August 25, 2007 Yeah, generally I dislike it when people say things like: but bandai... but in this case, look at the MP SS... even as much of a POS it is, I love all this nice detailing on it. The POS are the transformation instructions that come with MP SS. Starting the transformation by pulling the part with the airbrake cancels the stress the wings go thru when following the instructions. I've transformed the hell out of it and the wings are fine. Give it a try because every time a MP SS transforms an angel gets its wings. The important date is when the SV-51 hits the Japan street shops. There was no YF-19 review or anything until that happened. When it arrives I’m sure Graham will post the review right away like last time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fly4victory Posted August 25, 2007 Share Posted August 25, 2007 I just can't see many people buying a SV-51 for thier five year old to fly around the back yard. If I had a five year old I would buy him one. Since I would be Roy he is stuck with Anti UN all the way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
