Tking22 Posted May 23, 2011 Share Posted May 23, 2011 Is there anywhere selling the VF-1J Max? Ebay is about it as far as I know, it was exclusive so I doubt retail stores will have it, you can also check out tokyohunter, I'm sure he can find one.

1/1 LowViz Lurker Posted May 23, 2011 Share Posted May 23, 2011 I too hope this line continues but I've noticed that Bandai often never finishes their toy lines. The way Bandai picks their releases just seems random and doesn't always coincide with an animated release which I think hurts their lines. I hope these 1/100 don't become hard to find in future. I'm not a collector but I feel in time people will come to appreciate the smaller size of them for things like displays near a vb-6. People can't accuse bandai of "only reissuing chunky munky, and being lazy" anymore. They made a good small and affordable valk, and when this line stops or it gets hard to find I think fans of it will be proud to have obtained them when they were released. VF-1 is done to death by so many companies though so if people are ignoring these it might be because of how much other stuff macross is getting. We are not living during a "dry period" of macross toys anymore where people are whining about how little new releases there are. We are pretty spoilt.

peter Posted June 21, 2011 Share Posted June 21, 2011 (edited) Box Art? Found this associated with a thread about the Bandai Hi-Metal...this the box art that comes with it? Edited June 21, 2011 by peter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RyuRoots Posted June 23, 2011 Share Posted June 23, 2011 No, it's just an image on the back of the box advertising the scene that the valks are from. It kind of irritates me since Max had his 1S then, not his 1A. Doesn't make me hopeful of them re-releasing the 1S for Hikaru and Max.

biggooftoybox Posted July 14, 2011 Share Posted July 14, 2011 Sorry not sure which thread to post but i'm hoping someone reading this thread will know. Is the VF Hi-Metal line dead? Whatever happened to the YF-21 they were going to do in this line? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whatever happened to the YF-21 they were going to do in this line? "Indefinite hiatus" would probably be a more accurate term than "dead". It hasn't been officially canned, but anyone who likes the line has been left in the lurch. IIRC, didn't Bandai say they were "still working on" the YF-19 and YF-21 a few months ago, while refusing to actually give us any kind of update? I love the line, but...I wouldn't hold my breath on any further releases even if it's technically a possibility. I'd love for my cynicism to be wrong for once, though.

Ignacio Ocamica Posted July 14, 2011 Share Posted July 14, 2011 In general, toy companies never officially announce when certain line has been canned so "indefinite hiatus" seems to be the right wording in this case Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1/1 LowViz Lurker Posted July 14, 2011 Share Posted July 14, 2011 (edited) That's a shame. I would have liked to see yf-19. Edited July 14, 2011 by 1/1 LowViz Lurker Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
