Guest sh002 Posted July 12, 2008 Share Posted July 12, 2008 the valkyries i like most from yamato are the 1/60 yf-21, yf-19, sv-51, and vf-0. if bandai releases a 1/60 vf-171 and it turns out good, then it's over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
physioguy Posted July 13, 2008 Share Posted July 13, 2008 I was just digging through old pictures as I'm in the process of selling many of my non-macross toys on ebay, and I found this one of my on Aquarion figure from Bandai. He's long since been sold, but he was great, very well made, and I think the new Bandai Macross Frontier toys will fit in just fine with the Yamato 1/60s.

badboy00z Posted July 13, 2008 Share Posted July 13, 2008 The feet resembles that of the VF-25. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mickayesou Posted July 13, 2008 Share Posted July 13, 2008 sorry for the same pics but they're in high resolution and news pics , ozma version Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ruskiiVFaussie Posted July 13, 2008 Share Posted July 13, 2008 (edited) Ozma deffinently looks cool. I'm glad i haven't watched the series yet otherwise i'd want Alto's as well coz he's the "hero". Bout time i went for the "Roy" valk first, besides he uses the armour and Super more often and i'd want to collect all accesories. Yamato's 1/60 version might be alot better (in 3 years) so i'll stick with the coolest one of the DX line..

Master Dex Posted July 13, 2008 Share Posted July 13, 2008 Agreed, Ozma's is my favorite and the one you are more likely to see get an armored pack. I'd bet that they make and armored pack for Ozma and a Super for Alto at start and see where it goes from there on whether to do the same for the others. However I can live with that even though I want both packs for Ozma. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Hingtgen Posted July 13, 2008 Share Posted July 13, 2008 Gah, I'm so torn between whose to buy. (Once they announce full armor, of course---I am seriously considering never buying one if they don't do full full armor) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AcroRay Posted July 13, 2008 Share Posted July 13, 2008 Since I'll probably only get one from the set, it'll probably be Ozma's. I don't like that gaping 'mouth' cavity on Alto's, and I prefer Ozma's color scheme better as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wicked Ace Posted July 13, 2008 Share Posted July 13, 2008 That pic of the Alto type brandishing the Jackhawk 9000 makes me really want to buy this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

badboy00z Posted July 14, 2008 Share Posted July 14, 2008 That hinge on the chest plate looks out of place. I know that's how it can lock in fighter mode but I wish they can come up with something better looking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ruskiiVFaussie Posted July 15, 2008 Share Posted July 15, 2008 So no SAL? I'm in the process of creating an account, cheaper is always good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UN Spacy Posted July 15, 2008 Share Posted July 15, 2008 Wouldn't HLJ end up using EMS since the 1/60 DX would be considered a high end product? Overdrive seems like it would be the best choice, I might end up going through them since HLJ already closed preorders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ruskiiVFaussie Posted July 15, 2008 Share Posted July 15, 2008 (edited) Depends on what they end up using as a box, will it be small and compact? Actually how tall is the 25 compared to others, like say the YF-19 (middle of the pecking order) I just saw they had the angel bird up for even cheaper at 55.99 USD. That's good.

ruskiiVFaussie Posted July 15, 2008 Share Posted July 15, 2008 (edited) http://www.over-drive-inc.com/overdrive-bl...orthAmerica.jpg that's Overdrives shipping chart. Also - This is currently the only shipping method available to use on this order. Japanese Postal Service (1 x 2kg) EMS Edited July 15, 2008 by ruskiiVFaussie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ruskiiVFaussie Posted July 15, 2008 Share Posted July 15, 2008 Also, for the interest of others, 30 USD to ship a VF-0S valk only, and 20 USD to ship a puny revoltech. All EMS, no sal was offered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Salamander Posted July 15, 2008 Share Posted July 15, 2008 Wouldn't HLJ end up using EMS since the 1/60 DX would be considered a high end product? Registered SAL or airmail.

Us Sydney/Australia people need to get out crud together and start ordering from Overdrive in bulk. Registered SAL or airmail. Usually still significantly cheaper than EMS to Europe (+ less import duties) The SAL shipping method HLJ uses is not trackable or registered. If the cost of the item is more than ~$150 then EMS is used for insurance reasons. Also if the weight/size of the package goes beyond a certain point EMS is used instead of SAL but at that point the cost between the two methods is sometimes negligable depending on your location. .

Yeah, be nice all of aussies group ordered. But even domestic after items received would cost, how would we work it out? 33.40 is the cost of shipping from Overdrive or HLJ.com? Overdrive. I created an account to fake buy and it brings up the exact(well it i guess it's the final shipping cost) cost of shipping by EMS.

I did this with a mass order of Transformer exclusives for Sydney/Adelaide through Overdrive. Someone places the mass order with OD, then collects the individual payments along with the OD shipping charge. Then play the waiting game till the box(es) ship. When it arrives in Sydney domestic shipping charges are calculated on individual basis. Sydney people can pick-up if they prefer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Radd Posted July 16, 2008 Share Posted July 16, 2008 Man, placed my pre-order. Still...these aren't coming out until November? The series will be over with by then, won't it? I certainly hope Bandai has more planned. VF-171, VF-27, et all. Say, maybe Bandai might give us a 1/60 Konig Monster! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
