Javabean Posted October 2, 2009 Share Posted October 2, 2009 (edited) Graham, Is this one that you mentioned some time ago of a repaint of an existing model, with retools on the gunpod? (I thought that gonna be VF-19 Kai) Edited October 2, 2009 by Javabean Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graham Posted October 2, 2009 Author Share Posted October 2, 2009 Graham, Is this one that you mentioned some time ago of a repaint of an existing model, with retools on the gunpod? (I thought that gonna be VF-19 Kai) Yep, this is the one. Not sure why you thought it was the VF-19Kai. That would involve a completely new sculpt over the YF-19. The two share nothing in common, except possibly hands and biceps. Graham Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Hingtgen Posted October 2, 2009 Share Posted October 2, 2009 Even the heatshield's plain white... You know, I was just thinking---Milia has the most valks in M7 (and probably all of Macross). In M7 we see her VF-1J, VF-11(B?), VF-17S, and VF-22S. Even Max never had a -17. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VFTF1 Posted October 2, 2009 Share Posted October 2, 2009 May I just add that at this rate, I'm not even finding time to transform half the Valkyrie I get from Yamato I mean - my VF-22S and VF-11B are still sitting on the shelves in fighter mode - never transformed; not because I am somehow disinclined...but there's no time... sheesh Still...personally - this is one I'll be skipping. Not a fan of the color scheme, and while I do like Macross 7 (understatement of the century), I'm far more interested in getting Soundforce instead of CannonFodderForce.

In fact Hikaru piloted more VFs in the universe: TV: VF-1D VF-1J CF (when he was in training) VF-1J VF-1S DYRL: VF-1A VT-1 VF-1S 2012: VF-4 Oh suddenly I miss him.

BlueMax Posted October 2, 2009 Share Posted October 2, 2009 But ultimately, Hikaru only piloted the Vf-1 and the VF-4.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Hingtgen Posted October 2, 2009 Share Posted October 2, 2009 Most of those don't count----they weren't HIS valks (as in, assigned to him). And even fewer were painted in his scheme. (TV 1S doesn't count--that's Roy's!) But Milia had a ton just for her, and her alone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
honkhet Posted October 2, 2009 Share Posted October 2, 2009 (edited) simply love the colors pf the 11C! In fact Hikaru piloted more VFs in the universe: *snip* Oh suddenly I miss him. me too. i loved the humble hero of SDF macross i hope in the future we will finally get the completion of the hikaru/misa storyline and hikaru piloted a vf-29 or sth like that Edited October 2, 2009 by honkhet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Salamander Posted October 2, 2009 Share Posted October 2, 2009 Now for the important question: If Yamato is making the VF-11 variants, does that mean we'll see a MAXL in the near future? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Javabean Posted October 2, 2009 Share Posted October 2, 2009 Yep, this is the one. Not sure why you thought it was the VF-19Kai. That would involve a completely new sculpt over the YF-19. The two share nothing in common, except possibly hands and biceps. Graham Oh i was thinking Yamato might just retool VF-19 gunpod for VF-19Kai musical instrument-like gunpod (not sure if that is guitar?) Yes, I forgot the head & speaker shoulders are completely different design. Lets hope for its future release since we are seeing some M7 releases Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thankheaven Posted October 2, 2009 Share Posted October 2, 2009 Awesome, a must buy for me. I like the C more then the B. But damn November, thats the same month as Milia's VF-22....thats a lot of cash in a short time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OmegaD3k Posted October 2, 2009 Share Posted October 2, 2009 Beautiful! =O I love how Yamato took the time to design a new gunpod and update the fast packs. Other companies probably wouldn't even care. Any chances of an (un)official M&M variant VF-11 release? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

buffalostyle Posted October 2, 2009 Share Posted October 2, 2009 From the Scoopda thread, Yamato announces their 1/60 scale VF-11C from Macross 7. http://www.yamato-toys.com/items/detail.php?gid=1502 I've always prefered the Macross 7 VF-11C color scheme over the Macross Plus VF-11B. This bird looks absolutely stunning IMO. I will definitely be getting at least 3 and finances be damned! Graham I will need at LEAST two of them...that Valk is sexy...Is it wrong for me to say a toy is sexy? Hmmmm...If loving this Valk is wrong, I don't want to be right...

Omegablue Posted October 2, 2009 Share Posted October 2, 2009 Looks awesome in Battroid! Question, is the colour of the plastic beige white, or is it the lighting? Still it's not enough to convince me the price tag... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eriku Posted October 2, 2009 Share Posted October 2, 2009 Damn, I like the 11b colors but this one is even better. Looks like my 11b will be going up for sale. I wonder if anyone will even want to buy it though? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CF18 Posted October 2, 2009 Share Posted October 2, 2009 (edited) They have the same price at 18800 yen. You are using the after 5% Japan only sale tax price against the recently weakened US$. Edited October 2, 2009 by CF18 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eriku Posted October 2, 2009 Share Posted October 2, 2009 (edited) http://www.hlj.com/product/YMT00114 The 11c is a little higher, but it's more or less in the same ballpark. I bought my 11b for $220 shipped when it was first released, so a few dollars more on the 11c isn't enough to make me gripe.

Still it's not like I am making anymore money so at the very least I think I am going to have to hold out on this one till the dollar becomes more favorable.

hutch Posted October 2, 2009 Share Posted October 2, 2009 Curious question, and if this is the wrong place to ask, forgive me... I've never owned a Valk other than the Yamato VF-1s... Are there any major QC issues with the VF-11's? I've honestly never seen Macross 7 but I really REALLY like the look of the VF-11... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are there any major QC issues with the VF-11's? I've honestly never seen Macross 7 but I really REALLY like the look of the VF-11... The VF-11B is pretty damn solid, there were a few minor (really minor) issues that popped up, but no exploding shoulders, cracks or things splitting in 2!! Shes a bit pricey, but worth it!! I'll definitely save up for a VF-11C!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UN Spacy Posted October 2, 2009 Share Posted October 2, 2009 A little OT. How long has Yamato had the M7 license? I always thought Bandai had the stranglehold on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
logos Posted October 2, 2009 Share Posted October 2, 2009 (edited) Yeah the B is awesome just a little steep in price. I really want the C but.....Argh if I don't stop with these some time soon I'm not going to be able to afford Christmas.....4 New VF-1s in Oct., VF-11C and VF-1J Armored in Nov., Max's and Mira's VF-22 in December......and that's only Yamato.....oh god make it stop, make it stop...... EDIT: I now I realized I am going to need more display stands too....... ........is it time to start the Meat vs. Toy poll again?
