brenttoyou Posted January 13, 2010 Share Posted January 13, 2010 So said all the people who voted "mine's fine" on our earlier poll, only to ask that their vote be changed to "broken" a few months later. Ha, I already expected the worst and ordered spare arms from OD. It is just a matter of time, even though it will stay in fighter mode forever.

Javabean Posted January 13, 2010 Share Posted January 13, 2010 We got so many VF-1 releases that we hardly hv times to transform all of them frequently. Some of my valks are either staying in fighter or battroid mode, like most of you do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lonely Soldier Boy Posted January 13, 2010 Share Posted January 13, 2010 All this broken shoulders, fixed shoulders, improved crotch, mirrored canopy, non mirrored canopy stuff is giving me a headache. I'm kinda glad I haven't got any V.2's yet. I hope that by the time my finances improve, things have cleared up on these. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
94medition Posted January 13, 2010 Share Posted January 13, 2010 Graham, thank you so much for your effort to bring these issues up to Yamato. Hopefully we will get a better shoulder design soon. Out of the six V.2 that I have, 1J Hikaru is the only one I have a stress mark. I am surprised that my 1D and VT both got knurled pins even though they are newer than my other V.2. How long will Yamato offer replacement hinges? If the stress mark will eventually crack, will I be able to request replacement hinge for hinge with stress mark? I would love to have a VF-4 and a VF-0D, but I think a VF-17 is more likely be one of the new sculpts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shin Densetsu Kai 7.0 Posted January 13, 2010 Share Posted January 13, 2010 (edited) Hey Graham, Is Yamato willing to release the GPB armor parts by themselves for mass market? There are fans who don't want to pay up for the Yamato webshop exclusive "Itano Circus" missle version, and might just want the armor by itself for their other valks.

Black Valkyrie Posted January 13, 2010 Share Posted January 13, 2010 Graham, is it possible for Yamato to sell the metal parts separate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thankheaven Posted January 13, 2010 Share Posted January 13, 2010 (edited) The rate of VF purchases this year has been very high so i haven't had the time to check them all out very well yet. Hell i still haven't transformed my VT-1 and VE-1 yet. My VF-1S Max and VF-1D seems to have smooth pins though, atleast no jagged edges on the pins that i can see. The VF-11 is the only toy im actually really "Playing" with and damn this thing is impossible to put down.

Arthurius Posted January 13, 2010 Share Posted January 13, 2010 i thought about it further, and although vf-17 and vf-2SS are good candidates for this year, i think so is the vf-19, simply because the engineering will be much less than other valks, so even if alot of retooling is required, still, because they already made the yf-19, and it has very similar, if not same, transformation, then at least they save on engineering, and probably alot of people will buy it.

ruskiiVFaussie Posted January 13, 2010 Share Posted January 13, 2010 hah we are totally in for a treat this year then with hopefully the Fire Valkyrie and either the 2 or 4! As for my funds this year it's all VF-11c and Max 22... with that being said v.2 should be all but ironed out before I need to get what's left (ve, 1d, 1j, tv-1s etc..). Would also like a 0D, 0B like Shin mentioned but we SERIOUSLY need the REACTIVE!!!1! Zero license don't die. I missed the other info prior to deletion but the accessory pack sounds sweet!

sidearmsalpha Posted January 14, 2010 Share Posted January 14, 2010 Hey Graham, any chance Yamato can be convinced to start packing the side covers and neckpiece with every Valk from now on? The parts are so small, they wouldn't even take up much room in the box, or they could be packaged in a small baggie if they don't want to re-design the trays. I don't mind a reasonable increase in the price to have these parts already included. These parts are a no-brainer. Excluding them is like excluding the intake covers.

I had a huge beef with that for 1/48 lol and nothing happened. Maybe its like the ole "multiple swappable heads in each release" request and they see it as bad for business? I also wished for smaller versions of the oversized mechanical GBP hands be put in for all the 1/48. ...Nothing. Not having side covers is like not having the gunpods in the first release of the 1/72 yf-21 imo. Just seems like part of the robot is missing to me..

VFTF1 Posted January 19, 2010 Share Posted January 19, 2010 any chance Yamato can be convinced to start packing the side covers and neckpiece with every Valk from now o Actually - here's why this makes sense: EVERY VF Yamato sells is packaged with three useless pieces of plastic moulded into useless attachments to Valkyrie stands that almost nobody has or at the very least that have to be bought seperately - thereby meaning that out-of-the-box these pieces are useless for most people who don't buy their valks with valk stands that are discontinued and being re-released in March anyways. soo... Wouldn't it be a better business idea to take the money being used to produce those attachments to valkyrie stands that are packaged uselessly with Valkyrie and...you know...spend it on making side-covers - which are useful - for the valkyrie? The parts to the stands can just be packaged with...well...the stands! Pete Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
