MacrossMan Posted April 16, 2009 Share Posted April 16, 2009 (edited) Some pics of the new VE-1 by Yamato. Pics of the VT Dash! You da man, man!!! I think this will be my first Yamato toy that I will be buying two of!!! Can't wait, can't wait!!!! Weewwwwwwwww!!!!! edit - I will be buying three of these. One for each mode.

nightmareB4macross Posted April 16, 2009 Share Posted April 16, 2009 What's with the toothpick? It's not a toothpick. In scale it's a 4x6 wooden beam to beat the enemy with. It's a low tech undectable weapon only allowed for use on the VE-1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OmegaD3k Posted April 16, 2009 Share Posted April 16, 2009 (edited) AMAZING! O_O The cockpit is fantastic, especially the second seat which is higher than the pilot's seat. =D Definitely picking up three of both VT and VE, as well. One for each mode. :] Edited April 16, 2009 by OmegaD3k Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Javabean Posted April 16, 2009 Share Posted April 16, 2009 My guess is the two generic pilots sitting in the cockpit. And I thought only Max wears the blue helmet?? Finally another must-have Valk to get! My guess shud be a August release after VT-1 in July. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MacrossMan Posted April 16, 2009 Share Posted April 16, 2009 It's official. My v.1 VF1D, VT-1, and Elintseeker will be up for sale shortly! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UN Spacy Posted April 16, 2009 Share Posted April 16, 2009 Perfect. The only thing I'm worries me is the shoulder issue. Hopefully Graham's correct about Yamato using a smaller pin (post VF-1D). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eriku Posted April 16, 2009 Share Posted April 16, 2009 That is easily the finest looking Elintseeker toy ever made. I've actually never been keen on the design before, but those pics are seriously squeezing my WANT! glands. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
macross1979 Posted April 16, 2009 Share Posted April 16, 2009 Some pics of the new VE-1 by Yamato. THANKS! Those are amazing! I am SO SO SO EXCITED!!! OMG SWEET!!! this is going to be crazy expensive but I don't care. I NEED IT!!! What you said! It's not a toothpick. In scale it's a 4x6 wooden beam to beat the enemy with. It's a low tech undectable weapon only allowed for use on the VE-1. OMG! Too funny mate! That is easily the finest looking Elintseeker toy ever made. I've actually never been keen on the design before, but those pics are seriously squeezing my WANT! glands. This is very true my friend. The V.2 1/60s have yet to be a let down.

wm cheng Posted April 16, 2009 Share Posted April 16, 2009 Wow! These may be my initiation into the world of 1/60... is it me or do they look a little stubby? Maybe I'm just used to the sleeker 1/48s... ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm wondering if the head will be attached the same way as the others because I'd like to see what it looks like with a 1A head. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless Harrys flying that thing....nothing That would be interesting to see with a 1A. I bet the head will be the same. It's a lose if it's not.

If you look at the pics the head mechanism is the same so you should be able to put any head from a VF 1/60 on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anime52k8 Posted April 16, 2009 Share Posted April 16, 2009 What's with the toothpick? it's a prototype so the radome's probably made form a solid chunk of resin and the hinge on the support arm is too loose to support it. nice to see they remembered the red stripe on the chest this time around.

VFTF1 Posted April 16, 2009 Share Posted April 16, 2009 Very nice VE-1. However, I'm confused by the antena on the sides being so thick - the v.1 had them on pretty thin. What gives? Either way - looks great. Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shin Densetsu Kai 7.0 Posted April 16, 2009 Share Posted April 16, 2009 Perfect. The only thing I'm worries me is the shoulder issue. Feel the same way broThat is easily the finest looking Elintseeker toy ever made. I've actually never been keen on the design before, but those pics are seriously squeezing my WANT! glands. 1/55 still has my vote(yeah yeah I'm in the minority but I love the way that thing looks) but this is one of the finest Yamato VF-1 variants made.

I'll agree with you there. I LOVE the look of the VT & VE in 1/55 chunky form. But damn these 1/60s are sweet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyclone Trooper Posted April 17, 2009 Share Posted April 17, 2009 Back in the late 80s, me and a group of friends roleplayed Macross using the old Palladium Robotech RPG. My Valkyrie was an Elintseeker (unit number 517) for Diamondback Squadron assigned to ARMD-02. This particular Valkyrie will always have sentimental significance, so this will definitely be my first "Version 2" purchase! And this time, my kids won't be given a chance to destroy it like they did to my Version 1 VE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

miriya Posted April 17, 2009 Share Posted April 17, 2009 I think you mean WICKED SWEEEET Or WICKED PISSAH!! BOT, I am stoked as stoked can be on this. I am really digging the Ostrich in grey though Gray? Grey? Sascha Graye? What? But seriously I need an Ostrich in the Gray scheme. As well as a VE-1.
