1/1 LowViz Lurker Posted September 23, 2008 Share Posted September 23, 2008 He wants a yf-21 version 2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kaiotheforsaken Posted September 24, 2008 Share Posted September 24, 2008 Personally, and I know I'm probably in the minority here, I'd rather have smaller fins than have the entire leg open up. The truth of the matter is that I could see them going this route though. If memory serves the only way to get the fins out on the old one was to deploy the landing gears to push them out enough to get your fingers on em. Truthfully though, the fins are in no way a deal breaker for me, this is easily my favorite valk (regardless of fin size) and unless it looks terrible (which I doubt based on Yammies most current releases) I'll be scooping it up.

ComicKaze Posted September 24, 2008 Share Posted September 24, 2008 (edited) when did Yamato get angry at Graham?? There was also the time I posted a picture of a totally unrelated garage kit YF-19. Somebody at Yamato thought it was a stolen picture of their prototype for the original (never released) version 2 YF-19 (which it wasn't).

Knight26 Posted September 24, 2008 Share Posted September 24, 2008 There was also the time I posted a picture of a totally unrelated garage kit YF-19. Somebody at Yamato thought it was a stolen picture of their prototype for the original (never released) version 2 YF-19 (which it wasn't). There was a whole ugly period where Yamato cut Graham out of the loop because of things that happened here on MW. None of it was really his fault, but certain peoples, most of whom are now long gone, thankfully, got hold of sensitive info about Yamato, and their then upcoming toys, including prototype photos and posted them. Yamato got ticked as a result, hey industrial espianouge is a big deal, and stopped talking to Graham for a while, which may be one of the reasons we never got 2-seater 1:48s. I'm sure Graham can fill in all the ugly details, but I think it was right around the time that the YF-19 was announced that he was allowed back into Yamato's good graces and we are all now very careful about not posting possibly leaked pictures around here as a result.

Nani?! Posted September 24, 2008 Share Posted September 24, 2008 Nice~! I gotta update my sig! Yes, the tail fins look a bit small as did the yf-19's... but I dont think it'll look bad... I wonder how the heat shield will be implemented... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sumdumgai Posted September 25, 2008 Share Posted September 25, 2008 I hope that the gunpod won't be ungodly overly large. It's a big beefy gunpod, but it shouldn't look like the VF-11B is a 4-year old holding a Desert Eagle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Graham Posted September 25, 2008 Share Posted September 25, 2008 I seem to be out of the loop at the moment again and I don't know why. I haven't received any emails from Yamato or replies to my emails since late July. Graham Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dizman Posted September 25, 2008 Share Posted September 25, 2008 So the my guess now is either A. The VF-11 looks so bad they want to hide it and pretend it never existed or B. It's so amazing that one look at a completed model will burn out our retinas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sumdumgai Posted September 25, 2008 Share Posted September 25, 2008 Based upon the past few releases, I'll have to go with B, the VF-11B looks so amazing it will burn out our retinas. Great looking VF-0, Fantastic YF-19, badass SV-51, fantastic YF-21, awesome VF-1 v2. Worrisome that Graham has been left out of the loop for the moment.

It's so amazing that one look at a completed model will burn out our retinas. ..or it could be the hobby magazines themselves have paid to have the exclusive info about upcoming toys so in order to sell those mags (in an age of the internet where print is threatened) they must not have info revealed until they get their mags out there first. I can see the internet affecting sales of the magazines so everything is organised and timed to be revealed at certain times to give them a chance.

1/1 LowViz Lurker Posted September 26, 2008 Share Posted September 26, 2008 Really though I can wait. I'm wondering what is happening with the VF-0 redo which is suposed to have the arms/shoulders fixed up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got another e-mail update from me mate at Overdrive and they said it's been pushed back again. Yamato i just hope with the hectic schedule you give your super dupa QC guy the time he needs to check everything thru. Or it will be "All for Nought!" gg spaceballs.

1/1 LowViz Lurker Posted September 28, 2008 Share Posted September 28, 2008 Yep take you time! I don't get how they could get the vf-1 1/48 so good, but not vf-0. They are roughly the same style of toy. Make 1/60 vf-0 as good as 1/48 vf-1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking forward the 1/60 VF11B very much. I really hope Yamato will make a white colour version too, I always think VF-11B looks better in white than 'grey'. Next spring in Japan means - between March and May. GIve me a few months to save up for that! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ruskiiVFaussie Posted November 4, 2008 Share Posted November 4, 2008 (edited) Sweeeeeet. This is probably the 2nd most interesting thing i want to happen next year, with the Reactive or VF-0D equal 1st. Of confirmation of the Armour (fast packs should be a given) would sweeten and excite the deal. I want a Focker scheme VF-1 (isn't that Mac 7?) Gotta watch macross 7 as i really dig the GNU VF-11 new scheme. Edited November 5, 2008 by ruskiiVFaussie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sumdumgai Posted November 5, 2008 Share Posted November 5, 2008 For a Focker scheme VF-11 you'd have to check out Macross VFX2 for playstation, ruskiiVFaussie, as it's the color scheme of the VFX-Ravens' VF-11s.

badboy00z Posted November 5, 2008 Share Posted November 5, 2008 I had a dream that I was handling the VF-11. Or at least I think it was a 11. It had a bit of heft and weight to it. Very solid feel too. Lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ruskiiVFaussie Posted November 5, 2008 Share Posted November 5, 2008 (edited) Thanks Sundumgai for that. I'd love a low-vis 1 version or a black scheme 11. Edited November 5, 2008 by ruskiiVFaussie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sqidd Posted November 5, 2008 Share Posted November 5, 2008 Very eager to see how the VF-11 looks. Yeah, no kidding. It's about time to get some spy shots I would think. The 21 has been out for a while now and the V.2 VF-1's have been around and not much of a stretch for them from a design standpoint. I want a 1/60 VF-11 bad!
