Actar Posted March 3, 2010 Share Posted March 3, 2010 It seems that various 1/60 Yamato Valks are getting re-released with new packaging! Included are: 1/60 YF-21 1/60 YF-19 1/48 VF-1S Hikaru 1/48 VF-1S Roy Not only that, it seems that the YF-21 will be an updated mold, sans the stand and fast packs. Engrish description: '- Had achieved a complete transformation of the threat deformation gimmick YF-21 sorties re-design a single package! - VF series so far has been adopted by different deformation mechanism YF-21 features the largest storage of arms and legs. - Boiled down to the limit deformation gimmick balance and proportion, as much as possible the thickness of the aircraft fuselage less As we pursue the reality. - The optional [Makurosusutando] and for the attachment, Forudobusuta even mounting legs for connection, Of course it comes with, like it is aligned to correspond to each item in the display form. - Was included with the initial production version [stand] and [Fasutopakku] omit the lower prices that In addition, a new design according to the reproduction of this package!

m0n5t3r Posted March 3, 2010 Share Posted March 3, 2010 (edited) it was posted in the SCOOPDA Thread yesterday. and since this: 製品の内容・仕様については変更はございません。- "There is no modification concerning the contents specification of product." (preceded by a statement about when it was originally released) ...is part of the product description for the 1/48s and the YF-19, i'm guessing there won't be any modifications/improvements for the YF-21 either.

David Hingtgen Posted March 3, 2010 Share Posted March 3, 2010 That's just the original description when it first came out--they're just comparing it to the 1/72 version, SHE, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

valhary Posted March 4, 2010 Share Posted March 4, 2010 i want new valks there are a lot of cool designs that i still waiting like the vf 2ss and the vf 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tober Posted March 4, 2010 Share Posted March 4, 2010 Have there been any improvements made for the YF-19? Mine is a rather floppy mess but there is nothing wrong with the gunpod lining up, so I'm curious as to weather they tightened the arms and shoulders up since the first releases...

Vostok 7 Posted March 4, 2010 Share Posted March 4, 2010 Anyone know if there's any changes to the VF-0s? I might be tempted to pick up another VF-0A if they actually did some improvements. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uxi Posted March 4, 2010 Share Posted March 4, 2010 not for me, goes in with a nice firm click. Just make sure the little tab towards the front of the gun goes in fully On mine, it seems like it's one "big" click and then a more subtle second click to fully lock in, but yeah nice and tight and never fall out during barrel rolls, etc. One thing I have noticed with my YF-21 (landing gear almost always out, matching the YF-19 facing it) is that the front landing gear flap tends to open up on it's own. It needs a small tab/nub behind it. Prolly never going to pull out my Gamlin's landing gear... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scream Man Posted March 5, 2010 Share Posted March 5, 2010 Id love a modded 21 where the legs fit better, but i odnt think we'll be getting it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ff95gj Posted March 5, 2010 Share Posted March 5, 2010 According to the offical site: Old 1/48 Packing: H370xW360xD140 (mm) = 18648 cm3 in volume New 1/48: 370mmx290mm×130mm = 13949 cm3 in volume Max VF-22S(for comparsion): 300mm×360mm×100mm = 10800 cm3 in volume So the new packing has a similar face as the Max VF-22S box, but thicker. And the volume is reduced by 25%. If the boxart is nice, I would get an extra Focker 1S. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eugimon Posted March 5, 2010 Share Posted March 5, 2010 Id love a modded 21 where the legs fit better, but i odnt think we'll be getting it. yeah, even if it's just a final "click" in the knees so you know you have them in the correct position Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rzax Posted March 5, 2010 Share Posted March 5, 2010 Just to clarify, the YF-19 and YF-21 reissues will not come with FAST Packs etc.? Would they be eventually sold seperately? I have the YF-19 with the Fast packs and fold booster thingy set and very much would like to purchase the YF-21 with FAST Packs too.. Missed out the last time because of other priorities..

Chronocidal Posted March 7, 2010 Share Posted March 7, 2010 (edited) Nice.. might be my chance to FINALLY get a 1/48 Roy Been waiting about 5 years to get one now. I don't need any more YF-21/VF-22s, but I do want to get a VF-0S finally. And... while I dunno if I should, I might try my luck on another YF-19... just in the hopes of getting one with better shoulders and such.

rzax Posted March 11, 2010 Share Posted March 11, 2010 Any chance of a bigger pic? Wanted to make out what the right part of the text is talking about..is it about reissues of the fold booster and fast packs or does it say the new yf-19 reissue will fit the old fold booster and fast packs?

DrunkenPilot72 Posted March 16, 2010 Share Posted March 16, 2010 Anyone know if there's any changes to the VF-0s? I might be tempted to pick up another VF-0A if they actually did some improvements. I would like to know this too. I saw that hlj is restocking next month and I wanted to know if the VF-0S with Ghost is still the only safe VF-0S to get. I lucked out with the VF-1S in that the shoulders didn't completely disintegrate on me out of the box but considering how much more expensive the other valks are I don't want to take any chances.

The 2008 Re Release of the VF-0S (non Ghost) is fine so I can't see why this re release would be busted unless Yamato has found some "Very Old" warehouse stock. VF-0A on the other hand.... I'm going to assume they are ok but will wait for others to be the testers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
derex3592 Posted March 17, 2010 Share Posted March 17, 2010 I can tell you guys who are wondering that my 21's guns click in perfectly in fighter mode without the fast packs. Everything else about my 21 was perfect too. Amazing toy. In regards to the YF-19, I recently got the blue and white "Double Nuts" version and it is very tight in all the right areas. Gun pod fits straight in fighter mode as well. I would venture to say you couldn't go wrong with either re-release. It does suck that they are not including the stand or fast packs with the 21. That's lame. I actually love the clear stand they packaged with the first 21. I use it for all modes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chronocidal Posted March 22, 2010 Share Posted March 22, 2010 I hope they aren't seriously removing the guns. I mean, even the VF-22s had those, even though they don't have a place to mount in fighter mode. Considering that rear picture still shows the guns mounted, I would assume they're just removing the fast packs and stand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlueMax Posted March 25, 2010 Share Posted March 25, 2010 (edited) If the 1/60 Gamlin, Max and Millia VF-22s can be referenced, the guns should be included. Essentially they are just the original 21s with small modifications and with no FPs and stands as well.

MacrossJunkie Posted March 26, 2010 Share Posted March 26, 2010 To be specific... Stickers... I don't suppose there's any chance of Yamato selling those new sticker sheets on their own? I really wish they would. The old ones sucked as they didn't hold well sometimes and were sort of thick. A couple came off my 19 during handling and I can't find where they went and there's no way for me to replace them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
