Twoducks Posted October 15, 2009 Share Posted October 15, 2009 (edited) Are the VT-1 and VE-1 1/60 V2 better than V1? I'm asking because I could get the old V1 two seaters cheaper than the new ones and, to be honest, I'll be keeping this babies in fighter most if not all the time. We are talking about valks that shine when in fighter mode and Gerwalk. The V2 look great in robot mode and have the tampo but the old ones don't look half bad either. I know that the VE-1 isn't out yet but still, for those who have both the original 1/60 VT-1 and the new V2, has the upgrade really done a difference?

jenius Posted October 15, 2009 Share Posted October 15, 2009 On a whole there is no comparison, the V2 is a ridiculously better toy than the V1. That said, the V1 was a very good effort for fighter mode only if you don't care about transformation gimmicks and are a bigger stickler on the shape of the craft rather than its total appearance. From a total appearance standpoint, the extra details and uniform build qualities on the V2 are the easy winner. I'm hoping to do a review of the VT-1 soon so I should have lots of comparison pics for you to judge by (but that's only going to be useful to you if you can wait a couple weeks).

KiriK Posted October 15, 2009 Share Posted October 15, 2009 other things to point out are that the fastpacks on the VT-1 v2 are a lot better and the leg armor has removable panels to show interior detail. But i agree that having the v1 in fighter mode isn't a bad way to go. I have my V1 displayed in fighter and the v2 VT-1 in Battroid and they look great displayed together.

Rabidweezil Posted October 16, 2009 Share Posted October 16, 2009 Any news on the Virgin road being released anywhere? Yamato's website is still listing it as an Oct release. It also has Max and Millia's 1J's down for Oct also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
todd77 Posted October 17, 2009 Share Posted October 17, 2009 Awesome. It seems that Yamato has gotten around tampo-ing the designation number and U.N. Spacy insignia on the nose and the fast pack leg attachments that were absent from the VT-1 (which, felt a little too plain for me). And are those new tampo prints on the lower leg as well? Seems to me that Yamato is upping the ante with these kind of details. Also, just got my shipping notice for my VE-1 from Hobby Search. Can't wait to give the bird a test flight beside my Ostrich.

Vi-RS Posted October 17, 2009 Share Posted October 17, 2009 I placed my preorder with HLJ, and it still not doing billing and shipment notice, but it's already shows low stock. What about others who have placed preorder on the ve-1? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tober Posted October 17, 2009 Share Posted October 17, 2009 (edited) I placed my preorder with HLJ, and it still not doing billing and shipment notice, but it's already shows low stock. What about others who have placed preorder on the ve-1? You don't really need to worry about it. I placed my order with them when it was first announced (5% Early Bird discount etc). Their inventory system shows 'low stock' when they get a new shipment in. I haven't recieved a billing, processing or shipping notice yet. Although I did hit the 'ship my available items now' option in the hope it will make a difference. They won't start processing orders till Monday anyway. Although last time it took them about 2 weeks to ship my items from the time I was automatically billed through PayPal. EDIT: HLJ Payment request just went through.

Stemp Fester Posted October 18, 2009 Share Posted October 18, 2009 The staff at HLJ must be working the weekend the way the website has been updating - on Friday the VE-1 was still listed as "October Release", since then it's changed to "Low Stock" and now to "In Stock"... Meanwhile my order has changed to being processed for shipping! Although I hope the extra things I just ordered managed to get packed with the VE-1 as well...

UN Spacy Posted October 18, 2009 Share Posted October 18, 2009 What's with the fugly coloring on the front of the main boosters? It doesn't look like that in the line art. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vi-RS Posted October 18, 2009 Share Posted October 18, 2009 What's with the fugly coloring on the front of the main boosters? It doesn't look like that in the line art. Since it only appears about 3~5 seconds on the movie, we really can't tell the actual color because Kawmori didn't officially announce that in any linearts because most are black and white. This is the interpretation of ve-1 from Hasegawa: Bandai: I don't know who did the artwork, but seems like Yamato is missing those red stripes on legs and arms if this is official since it's the earliest color artwork.

ff95gj Posted October 19, 2009 Share Posted October 19, 2009 removing arm armors? SLIGHTLY pull the connecting tabs at the side of the arms outwards? It's difficult to describe... Let's say the connector thing is now smaller and tighter than the VF-1 arm armors that it's difficult to pull it out. Anyone with the VE-1, please share if you encounter the same problem as I do... P.S. I have experiences with half a dozen of VF-1 SSPs and those are no problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

P.S. I have experiences with half a dozen of VF-1 SSPs and those are no problems. Same here, they are very tight. And compare with other valks, tho elbow joint and rear landing gears are also very tight on my example... Love the finishing on VE-1, the light grey is just perfect, love the orange/yellow nose clone, too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
