ff95gj Posted May 28, 2010 Share Posted May 28, 2010 exactly what i was thinking... if these were the colors used for the low-vis 1S, i would've been all over that. too bad it's another f'n exclusive... i'm gonna need to psych myself up to spend whatever will be the final price tag for this sweet looking bird. goodbye 1/60 Angel Bird, hello VF-X. I preordered it already last night. Amen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old Man Posted May 28, 2010 Share Posted May 28, 2010 So, how does a guy in The States go about getting one of these? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hutch Posted May 28, 2010 Share Posted May 28, 2010 So, how does a guy in The States go about getting one of these? Sometimes (often?) one of the members on here that is located in Japan or has contacts in that country will organize a 'group buy' for exclusives. Usually involves a down payment and then waiting a long time for it to come. Oh and it will obviously be much more expensive than the standard VF-1. I believe the VF-1A Angel Birds is expected to run around $200+ for example. Don't know what impact this being a magazine exclusive instead of a webshop exclusive will have...maybe make a group buy impossible? I'm sure as the time gets closer we'll get more info on that possibility. For my part, I'll sit and hope that there will be a group buy, because this thing is beautiful.

bowman Posted May 28, 2010 Share Posted May 28, 2010 The colour scheme does look nice though i don't like the big TEST painted on both legs. The simple arm cover makes the belly of the fighter look sleek. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eugimon Posted May 28, 2010 Share Posted May 28, 2010 if it's not limited quantities per household I can try to arrange a group buy but for bay area residents only. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nightmareB4macross Posted May 28, 2010 Share Posted May 28, 2010 The VF-X toy cannot be more expensive than a transformable VF, because it is transformable. The VF-X is non-transformable, but the VF-X toy is not really a VF-X. It may not be anime accurate, but I like the idea. Definite pass for me. The bottom plate looks aweful. It should have remained non-transformable to retain a sleek lineart underbelly. The VF-X was never ment to transform. Are the vents on the back-plate and fuselage going to remain as stickers? Well, at least they did provide a new re-paint ala low viz. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The bottom plate looks ok for what Yamato is doing now by adding parts to make it a VF-X variant and yet remaing the capability to transform even though it's not accurate. It pleases the fans though. The bottom plate doesn't looks gracefully extend from the head area to the tails because the entire arms are there. If they remove the arms, and redo another bottom plate then it will be gracefully extend from head to tail. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vi-RS Posted May 28, 2010 Share Posted May 28, 2010 (edited) [insert standard, tired and lame detractors comment about how Yamato sucks and if you wait long enough, the arms will remove themselves.] oh yeah, if they did remove the arms and redo another bottom plate so it wont look so fat and thick, the have it fixed non-trasnformable, then you don't have to worry about shoulder crack problem. Anyway, this babe is still in my list, nonetheless. Looking forward a group buy or something like that. Edited May 28, 2010 by Vi-RS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
