Omegablue Posted July 7, 2009 Posted July 7, 2009 Definitely getting this. I like the dark tones. And this will make it the 4th non-white Valk in my new 1/60 collection. So far, I've not bought any whites in 1/60 scale yet. At least, there's no worry of the yellowing problem of white plastics, right? Yes & no. On dark plastics it will be less apparent and only really appears a slight tint depending on the light source. With any plastic, just avoid direct sunlight on it, and don't play with it after having eaten with your unwashed hands. The grease and oils from foods is a known factor in staining plastics. Then you should be fine.

logos Posted July 7, 2009 Posted July 7, 2009 Hobby Search has the VF-1S Low Visibility up for pre-order. http://www.1999.co.jp/eng/10094154
Omegablue Posted July 10, 2009 Posted July 10, 2009 Must resist sudden urge to order more than one of this Valk... But I can already see the Stealth being annouced soon, and probably a prototype 1J...
Godzilla Posted July 10, 2009 Posted July 10, 2009 Hobby Search has the VF-1S Low Visibility up for pre-order. http://www.1999.co.jp/eng/10094154 Isnt that a TV Roy? But the Fig doesnt look like it.
sharky Posted July 10, 2009 Posted July 10, 2009 Isnt that a TV Roy? But the Fig doesnt look like it. That looks like a DYRL Roy to me.
Godzilla Posted July 10, 2009 Posted July 10, 2009 That looks like a DYRL Roy to me. doesnt the TV roy VF-1S grey instead of white? I know the figure isnt a TV roy.
ff95gj Posted July 10, 2009 Posted July 10, 2009 doesnt the TV roy VF-1S grey instead of white? I know the figure isnt a TV roy. Yes.. The TV pilot suit is blue-grey... But the suit design in the toy photo is still DYRL style (though in gray now).
sharky Posted July 10, 2009 Posted July 10, 2009 doesnt the TV roy VF-1S grey instead of white? I know the figure isnt a TV roy. Yeah, I only meant that the suit is the DYRL design, but the colors of the Valk and the suit colors seem to be TV style.
blacklotus Posted July 10, 2009 Posted July 10, 2009 I was referring more so to the kanji that precedes the model description which is more about the toy category than model itself. Although if I'm not mistaken the one following it is more spec than type but I'm sure I'm missing some nuance. マクロス 1/60 完全変形 VF-1S ロービジビリティー仕様 Time for a little Mandarin lesson (pronunciation in brackets): 完全 = Complete (Wan Quan) 変形 = Transformation (Bian Xing) 仕様 = Type (Shi Yang) Cheers
anime52k8 Posted July 10, 2009 Posted July 10, 2009 Yeah, I only meant that the suit is the DYRL design, but the colors of the Valk and the suit colors seem to be TV style. Not really, the TV valk was white, and Roy's flight suit was a dark blueish-purple Grey and black with no yellow.
Vi-RS Posted July 11, 2009 Posted July 11, 2009 Not really, the TV valk was white, and Roy's flight suit was a dark blueish-purple Grey and black with no yellow. Hmm I was wondering why Yamato did white color on TV valkyries while gray on dyrl valkyries, I thought the color is the other way around?
jenius Posted July 11, 2009 Posted July 11, 2009 They're white in both shows so it's kinda up to Yamato how they want to differentiate but most people associate the gray with the TV version because of Takatoku (and then Bandai).

It's exactly what came in my mind. The resin cast kit by Club M and most model kits were having white on dyrl. I'm a little disappointed when VF-1J Hikie is white, so do Hayan 1A and Max 1A. I think the gray on dyrl scheme are perfect, TV scheme valkyrie will look much better in light gray especially Max 1A and Kakizaki 1A. The white plastic look kinda cheap. I prefer them all in light gray, but oh well............

I was translating via Japanese Thanks. 仕様/しよう Would roughly be specification not type. 型/かた/がた would be more equivocal to type I think.
Black Valkyrie Posted July 11, 2009 Posted July 11, 2009 That looks like a DYRL Roy to me. Yes but in Mac-0 color style.
Fortress_Maximus Posted July 17, 2009 Posted July 17, 2009 are there any improvements whatsoever with this newest 1/60 version of roy?
sharky Posted July 17, 2009 Posted July 17, 2009 Not really, the TV valk was white, and Roy's flight suit was a dark blueish-purple Grey and black with no yellow. I just keep thinking there were some scenes in the TV series where Roy's valk looks like this new Yamato low-viz version. Perhaps it was a night scene or maybe even a comic or something. I'd have to look into it, but I just don't have the time to sit through a bunch of episodes to check. Maybe someone with a fresher perspective or better memory can find a pic or screen shot.

Vi-RS Posted July 20, 2009 Posted July 20, 2009 http://www.hlj.com/product/YMT00171 early bird up at hlj.com in case it was not posted already. Early bird 3% off still has a price tag of $100, I think OD has a better price for 89.99.

JCSaves Posted July 25, 2009 Posted July 25, 2009 You pay for pre-orders before they arrive with OverDrive?

ruskiiVFaussie Posted July 25, 2009 Posted July 25, 2009 (edited) But there service is 2nd to none. Edited July 25, 2009 by ruskiiVFaussie
JCSaves Posted July 25, 2009 Posted July 25, 2009 But there service is 2nd to none. I believe that based on what I have heard from everyone here. It is just that I do not have money to put up front. Too bad for me.
Omegablue Posted August 4, 2009 Posted August 4, 2009 (edited) At the recent wonderfeast show Yamato had the Focker LV. Only change that is noticeble is the colour of the kite, it went from that dark pale red to a grey, which in my view looks better. Edited August 4, 2009 by Omegablue
