ff95gj Posted March 6, 2009 Author Share Posted March 6, 2009 Judging on the availably in the market, I think the Stealth 1J wasn't a really popular model... The Kakizaki bird didn't sell well too... But I think being in the squad with someone famous has some advantage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

atreyu2112 Posted March 8, 2009 Share Posted March 8, 2009 (edited) Not getting the 1J CF, I'll wait for a 1A CF. I still have to order my Kaki TV 1A, and I think that's why they're doing the CF as a 1J b/c it's very similar to the Kaki TV version. I still want a 1A CF tho. To be honest, I'd rather have an Alaska Base generic (same as CF except green) as I'll have the Kaki.

Kyp Durron Posted March 8, 2009 Share Posted March 8, 2009 Not necessarily true. Graham Don't tell me that they're not going to make a 1/60 V2 Stealth...because that's one of the repaints I've been looking forward to... -Kyp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
logos Posted March 8, 2009 Share Posted March 8, 2009 Isn't a VF-1A Kakizaki TV basically a VF-1A TV CF? If it isn't you would think that it would be close enough that yamy wouldn't bother. http://www.over-drive-inc.com/store/produc...roducts_id=1198 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it isn't you would think that it would be close enough that yamy wouldn't bother. http://www.over-drive-inc.com/store/produc...roducts_id=1198 CF is all brown with white trim, Kakizaki is white with patches of brown. BIG difference. That's like saying that Max's TV-1A is close enough to the TV-1J, so they shouldn't bother. Vostok 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kanedaestes Posted March 8, 2009 Share Posted March 8, 2009 Plus we fans have been dying for this one much like the Max TV version. It is sad to know that Toynami beat them to the punch with an inferior toy but they had a VF-1A Kakizaki (or Ben Dixon to then) in their first lineup of releases and here we are in what our third line of VF-1s and just now getting it. I have been waiting for the entire vermilion squadron for some time now. Just a few months left. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geepogi Posted March 9, 2009 Share Posted March 9, 2009 same here. am only waiting for the CF 1A and the stealth 1J. how about a low vis? isn't it also a shade of grey? i want something which looks more "real world". Don't tell me that they're not going to make a 1/60 V2 Stealth...because that's one of the repaints I've been looking forward to... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ruskiiVFaussie Posted March 9, 2009 Share Posted March 9, 2009 (edited) I'm already getting my 1J CF coloured head from SD for my 1/48 CF, so this isn't a must have as i calmed down from the initial excitement.

one_klump Posted March 11, 2009 Share Posted March 11, 2009 Still not interested in the ver2 1/60's, the nose cone is all wrong to me, looks too much like jetfire and not like macross. I have 2 of the first run 1/60 VF-1's, and I love the long sweeping nose on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have 2 of the first run 1/60 VF-1's, and I love the long sweeping nose on it. That's what I used to think, and I resisted mightily until just sheer curiosity got the better of me. Even when my first v2 showed up on my doorstep, even while I was opening up the shipping box, I was still hanging tenaciously to my mental comparisons of the v1's elegant nose versus the "snub nose" I'd been seeing in online photos of the v2. When I finally lifted up the outer flap to reveal the valk in the window, I could see that I was wrong. And when I lifted the valk out of the plastic cradle and could see the offending nose in 3D, I could see I was completely wrong. I don't know what it is about the photos, but in person the sculpt is spot on. And the mosquito nose of the v1 really, kinda, sorta is relatively insect-like by comparison.

chanti09 Posted March 11, 2009 Share Posted March 11, 2009 I think i'm gonna wail n moan about how broke i'm gonna be seeing nearly all the 1/48 to be converted to 1/60 ... (T.T) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Felt exactly the same way about the nose when I got my v2.0 Hikaru 1A. I still like the v1.0 though. The skinny nose and low lying canopy has that "TV anime" look whereas the v2.0 has a refined/balanced look.

Foblander Posted March 11, 2009 Share Posted March 11, 2009 I just got into the game of collecting macross toys. So far I've only been buying the new 1/60's. Do you think it's still worth it to own at least one of these beautiful giant toys? People have been selling their 1/48 valks so it's throwing me off.

Grand Admiral Posted March 11, 2009 Share Posted March 11, 2009 The 1/48s are still very nice toys. Many people are selling them and switching to the 1/60s for a variety of reasons: - Some prefer the proportions of the 1/60 toys - Some wish to have all 1/60 scale valks, since Yamato decided to standardize the various series all in 1/60 scale I'm in the latter group. I sold my 1/48s because I like having all my valks in the same scale. There was certainly nothing wrong with my 1/48s and they even have some details missing in the 1/60s, like functioning air brakes and wing flaps, as well as a removable nose cone.

Grand Admiral Posted March 12, 2009 Share Posted March 12, 2009 I had only just bought my 2nd 1/48 when they announced the 1/60 v2 line, so it wasn't a big deal for me to sell them and start over. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
schmungbeen Posted March 12, 2009 Share Posted March 12, 2009 Well I had to get rid of my low viz v1 (on ebay now actually) to get some more 1/60's...

miriya Posted April 24, 2009 Share Posted April 24, 2009 I must be crazy because I like the VF-1J CF the best. I may have to wait until it goes on sale though before I get one and that may take a long time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
