raptormesh Posted November 3, 2011 Share Posted November 3, 2011 Darnit those are great pics. I find this bird sexier than the VF-19, but will have to hold off for the D. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mommar Posted November 3, 2011 Share Posted November 3, 2011 Hmm, I just realized getting this 17 on time is going to be rough. Yamato usually ships the last Friday of the month, correct? That will be the 30th... but Japan is nutty for being off on the New Year. That means we probably won't see anything moving until the end of that first week of January.

VF-19Kai was released on May 19, and clicked a couple of previous releases and they were not released in the last week either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueMax Posted November 4, 2011 Share Posted November 4, 2011 Generally IIRC, for those release with no specific release date, it means the very last day of the month. Only those with specific release dates, which are very few, gets a release specifically on the release date. Just curious. How early do the HK retailers get it from the official release?

BlueMax Posted November 4, 2011 Share Posted November 4, 2011 Either way, release dates are always in the later part of the announced month. Too bad... gonna be in HK for the weekend...no-VF-19S for me in HK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

akt_m Posted November 5, 2011 Share Posted November 5, 2011 (edited) I wonder how much would cost to someone buy the entire yamato's 1/60 collection (all variants and colours). Edited November 5, 2011 by akt_m Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MacrossJunkie Posted November 5, 2011 Share Posted November 5, 2011 Bandai went pretty heavy with the blue on theirs. I'm good with the colors Yamato went with for the overall valk, but it seems to me that the intake covers ought to have at least a subtle tinge of blue to them.

Loop Posted November 5, 2011 Share Posted November 5, 2011 (edited) I wonder how much would cost to someone buy the entire yamato's 1/60 collection (all variants and colours). Hard to say how much I have spent. I have all of them except the VF-0A unknown soldier, I sold it to a friend who would not leave me alone *Edit: Forgot I also don't have the Double Nuts or Bird of Prey Edited November 5, 2011 by Loop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Valkyrie Hunter D Posted November 6, 2011 Share Posted November 6, 2011 This looks pretty wicked, and I'm not usually one for Mac 7 valks. Is anyone doing a group buy for these? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mommar Posted November 6, 2011 Share Posted November 6, 2011 Why would there be any need for a Group Buy? You can order it from plenty of online shops. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valkyrie Hunter D Posted November 6, 2011 Share Posted November 6, 2011 Why would there be any need for a Group Buy? You can order it from plenty of online shops. To save on shipping costs and convenience. This would be the first high end toy I might be buying in a while, and I'll take any chance to save some dough.

VF-18S Hornet Posted November 7, 2011 Share Posted November 7, 2011 (edited) Congratulations! So you got rid of the old one? Yep traded that pain in the ass in for a new Chevorlet Impala LT, and it's a 2011 model with only 17,668 miles on it. It was once a rental, a well kept rental.

Archer Posted November 8, 2011 Share Posted November 8, 2011 ^The image isn't working (unless the translation you provided literally means that there is no pic atm lol). I have been anticipating pictures of gimmicks, as that is really what will sell me on this toy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loop Posted November 8, 2011 Share Posted November 8, 2011 (edited) I'm pretty sure we have not seen the final version yet in any of the pictures so far. Edited November 8, 2011 by Loop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shin Densetsu Kai 7.0 Posted November 9, 2011 Share Posted November 9, 2011 I'm pretty sure we have not seen the final version yet in any of the pictures so far. We haven't, but from what I've seen I'm VERY impressed. This will be a great Christmas for Nightmare fans. I just get the itching feeling that the D model will look best with that bad ass head sculpt and blue wing stripes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uxi Posted November 9, 2011 Share Posted November 9, 2011 What gimmicks are possible and wonder how likely? In no particular order: 1) Opening hatch in Battroid. Would be pretty interesting to see, that's for sure. I think it SHOULD be possible, at least as well as the VF-19. 2) Gun storage in leg. Appears likely though quite to lineart, in the back of the leg 3) Beam weapon adapter 4) Foldo Boosta attachments (similar to YF-19 and YF-21/VF-22) 5) FAST Packs (probably a separate add-on) 6) Spiritia weapon (likewise) ?
