Before you die, there is something you should know about us.

ROY

What?

AEGIS

I am your father's brother's nephew's cousin's former room-mate.

ROY

What's that make us?

Absolutely nothing. Which is what you are about to become. Prepare to die.

Brilliant quote, Classic movie if you've never seen it!!

Really liking this. Might have to get 2. I prefer the VF-11C. Guess the odds are pretty remote of seeing a repaint with the different boosters?

Love the bayonet and ejection cockpit.

Too bad it's got the fast packs so we can't see the tailfins. Interestingly, they seem to stick a tiny bit out of the legs compared to the painted prototypes we've seen. Maybe they increased the size? I sure hope so.

I'ts hard to tell if they did or not in the other pictures due to the angle, but I'll say this. Personally, I think they should make the Stabs larger, and let what remains stick out. I think it would give a balanced look since the VF-11 has the ventral fins in the same location as well, and you'd probably be left with about the same abount of "fin" sticking out of the top as you do on the bottom. I know it's not cannon, but it's not like Kawamori isn't known for retconning his desgins (dx VF-25, 1/60 YF-19. and the size of the VF-11, ect.) and in this instance I think it would be a good change, but that's just me. Others may hate that idea because they are Battroid purists and may hate the idea of having part of the stab sticking out of the back of the legs. Just an idea though and seems like a really simple change that wouldn't require any change in enginering of the toy just new molds of the V. Stabs.

MUST RESIST... I'm already committed to the 1S max, I'm seriously considering a DX alto, and OMG that shunya Yamashita figure looks AWESOME.

If they end up releasing a VF-11 with the test shots black and white color, I'd be all over that though.

I agree, and would want that implemented. Ever since 2000 I've been waiting for a VF-11 toy with larger vertical stabilizers.

+1. I don't mind "sacrificing" a little accuracy in the Battroid (since the 1/60 is practically perfect in Battroid, especially compared to the 1/72) for a better Fighter.

There's a panel lined Focker's VF-1S in the back, weathered version coming?

If you include the show release and the release that came out what was it about a year ago this would be the third release of the 1/48 Weathered Roy.

Looks like those Roy prices will be coming down after all. I think I said something about that a log time ago. ;) I'm glad I waited. :p

I hope that one day I have enough Valkyrie and can get around to buying stands for all the fracking ones that Yamato didn't pack with stands... Will this come with stands?

I HATE the lack of stands in the box. I hate it more than the lack of fastpacks even.

Sorry for sort of randomly bringing this issue up here - but I had hoped with the SV-51 having a stand and the YF-21 as well that maybe it was going to be...er...pardon the pun...standard practice now... but then the VF-1 v.2 doesn't come with a stand ... will this? Or does Yamato only include a stand if the design of the battroid entails that it will be..hard...to..err...stand up on its' own?

EDIT: Hey - that picture shows the whole cockpit is removable along with the pilot...does that mean that it's not perfect transformation and that we're going to just pop out the cockpit and put in the orange heat shield ? :(

That's the answer!!!

We'll have to see how the cockpit transforms. Either way I'm so buying the VF-11!!!!

She's looking purty ^_^
