Agent-GHQ Posted February 24, 2007 Posted February 24, 2007 Save it. I don't need an explanation. Your post was rude and defamatory against Graham. If you have a problem with Yamato then direct it against Yamato. Eventhough Yamato makes high-grade and high-quality Macross toys/models, the QC is to the least, the down fall as there's a considerable amount of gripes that needs to be corrected. It would be great if Yamato can concentrate a bit more on the QC department knowing they have been in business for some time now.
Roy's Blues Posted February 25, 2007 Posted February 25, 2007 Is there ANY confirmation that the giftset will include any fixes?
Skullsixx Posted February 25, 2007 Posted February 25, 2007 I may have to bust out my debit card...cool!
Dante74 Posted February 27, 2007 Posted February 27, 2007 When the HLJ early bird pre-order began, they had it set for a june release, but now they've changed it to future relaese. What's going on? Is the release being pushed back?
ruskiiVFaussie Posted February 27, 2007 Posted February 27, 2007 I'd say it's just a stuff up since the Early Bird period has passed.
Guest sh002 Posted March 3, 2007 Posted March 3, 2007 damn i missed the early bird for this one. looked to be a good price.
ruskiiVFaussie Posted March 3, 2007 Posted March 3, 2007 (edited) With the fancy spinning and variations in speed and on top of that the colour changing... this seems more worth our buck.. doesn't it guys? Edited March 3, 2007 by ruskiiVFaussie
Scream Man Posted March 4, 2007 Posted March 4, 2007 yeah i think Im pretty much sold on it more now...
Lonely Soldier Boy Posted March 4, 2007 Posted March 4, 2007 (edited) With the fancy spinning and variations in speed and on top of that the colour changing... this seems more worth our buck.. doesn't it guys? Huh, I think I miss that info. Can you post the link, please? Edit: Nevermind, I found it Edited March 4, 2007 by Lonely Soldier Boy
ruskiiVFaussie Posted March 4, 2007 Posted March 4, 2007 lol. Imagine the 19 and 21 with Folds attached switched on and flashing like bats out of hell. Awesome!
Guest sh002 Posted April 3, 2007 Posted April 3, 2007 Just preordered the fold booster and fast pack without the YF-19 from HLJ. Missed the early bird though. Damn. Still a decent price compared to other stores.
recon Posted April 8, 2007 Posted April 8, 2007 Hi graham, Is there any news from yamato on the fixes for the 1/60 YF-19 for the upcoming giftset as so far we only heard that the shin VF-0A shoulders plastic is going to be changed from ABS to POM? Tks
UN_MARINE Posted April 8, 2007 Posted April 8, 2007 i was thinking maybe they could include the fixes to the '19 like the neck hinges (at least) they already did it with the canards. including the improved neck hinges wouldn't be so bad, would it? but that's just me
ruskiiVFaussie Posted April 9, 2007 Posted April 9, 2007 Yeah, no extra stuff included in the Fold set Graham?

drifand Posted April 13, 2007 Posted April 13, 2007 Yeah, no extra stuff included in the Fold set Graham? Probably just the usual... a lot of AIR.
ruskiiVFaussie Posted April 13, 2007 Posted April 13, 2007 (edited) On Planet Spaceball thats a highly sought after comodity..... Edited April 13, 2007 by ruskiiVFaussie
Dante74 Posted May 7, 2007 Posted May 7, 2007 Found the light effects for the fold booster on Yamato's site. link click on the two little thumbnails to start the animation. Looks good IMO. Does anyone know if it features sounds?
kensei Posted May 7, 2007 Posted May 7, 2007 I think that Graham stated clearly before that there would be no sounds.
David Hingtgen Posted May 7, 2007 Posted May 7, 2007 I think that's a MUCH neater effect than I imagined we'd get. 10x better than I expected. Has both the green glow, and the trippy color-change effect. Darn it, now I may have to buy one...
Mowe Posted May 7, 2007 Posted May 7, 2007 It looks pretty cool, like the CM Patlabor. I just wish the original design was not green. It just doesn't look right on the YF.
Ignacio Ocamica Posted May 7, 2007 Posted May 7, 2007 (edited) It does look good. But turning off the lights and swooshing the YF-19 around the house won't make my girfriend very happy Edited May 7, 2007 by Ignacio Ocamica
VF-18S Hornet Posted May 7, 2007 Posted May 7, 2007 Cool I'm glad I've pre-ordered mine though I can't seem to understand what the shoulder armor is for and what's funtion supposed to be for?
Lonewolf Posted May 7, 2007 Posted May 7, 2007 Well, the effect is indeed better than expected. Maybe I'll repaint the booster with some kind of grey paint so it matches the FP's color.
TheLoneWolf Posted May 7, 2007 Posted May 7, 2007 Either the animation's timing is off, or it looks like the lights are blinking way too rapidly. It's no big deal because I wasn't planning on ever turning them on anyways. My only concern is whether or not the FP release will remedy all the design flaws.
Valkyrie addict Posted May 7, 2007 Posted May 7, 2007 grooooooooooooovy!! I like how it starts to increase the flickering speed...
Lonely Soldier Boy Posted May 7, 2007 Posted May 7, 2007 Well, the effect is indeed better than expected. Maybe I'll repaint the booster with some kind of grey paint so it matches the FP's color. Good idea. I don't care if the green is canon, a poor color choice is a poor color choice.
wolfx Posted May 7, 2007 Posted May 7, 2007 Cool I'm glad I've pre-ordered mine though I can't seem to understand what the shoulder armor is for and what's funtion supposed to be for? Why to make the YF-19 go faster of course. It may just be an extra vernier in battroid mode but in fighter mode, you can see how its an extra booster.
ruskiiVFaussie Posted May 7, 2007 Posted May 7, 2007 (edited) It does look good. But turning off the lights and swooshing the YF-19 around the house won't make my girfriend very happy lol, i can't wait to see mine up in my mirror walled display cabinent. It will be sweet joygasmness. Can you imagine this at night with the Fold all lighted up? SWEET! And i will deffineintly have Guld and his Fold equipped YF-21 on the bottom shelf. The wife will deffinently not let me have the spinning at night when she wants to sleep! haha HEY, what size batteries do we need? This might call for rechargeables.... ... HOW the HELL will i fit a 1/60 YF-21 in the bottom shelf??? dammit. Edited May 7, 2007 by ruskiiVFaussie
Beware of Blast Posted May 8, 2007 Posted May 8, 2007 Any word on whether the upcoming YF19 will include fixes? That is where the REAL meat is. The fold booster is only table scrap. It's disappointing to find so many discerning Macross fans going ga-ga simply over something plastic with flashing lights. Cavemen with a torch could make a meal. What does the foldildo make you?
Graham Posted May 8, 2007 Posted May 8, 2007 I've been told the wonky gunpod will be fixed. I think they were also looking into making the nose easier to transform, but I don't have any updated news on this. I haven't spoken with them in a few weeks. Graham
recon Posted May 8, 2007 Posted May 8, 2007 (edited) Hi Graham, do please find out asap from yamato in rdgs to the fixes for the YF-19 giftset. tks Edited May 8, 2007 by recon
Beware of Blast Posted May 8, 2007 Posted May 8, 2007 Better now, thanks. Graham, will they include those fixes in the '19 / foldildo bundle? I dunno, the answer they gave you is just as halfarsed as the way they rolled out the first batch of the 1/60 '19s. Maybe you should bring a bat to Yamato next time.
