Lupin The Third Posted September 2, 2012 Share Posted September 2, 2012 (edited) Just saw this over at Yamato Toys..... http://www.yamato-to...il.php?gid=2130 http://www.yamato-to...p?gid=1&cid=115 October release, 17,640 yen. Option parts included..... Resale of hope from the user to reproduce the strong "VE-1 Erinto Seeker 1/60 Perfect Transformation" Also, to commemorate the 30th anniversary TV Super Dimension Fortress Macross aired! In the drama, early-warning surveillance aircraft was only a picture of the back of the form is to flow a few seconds fighter. Equipped with radar and sensors, the various radome, is characterized by a unique appearance. And I will be the item of this will come with the "optional parts" which was included in the "1/60 VF-1 kit"! Nice to know that unlike Bandai, Yamato actually listens to their fans and has a little respect for the people who pay their bills.

anime52k8 Posted September 2, 2012 Share Posted September 2, 2012 I've already got an Elintseeker but It's broken. If this wasn't so expensive I'd buy a second as a replacement. Maybe I'll be able to at least get a replacement part now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stark1975 Posted September 2, 2012 Share Posted September 2, 2012 I was able to get one from Angolz just as they were getting scarce, but I think I'll get another one to have in battroid or gerwalk mode. Gerwalk looks so natural for it because it just looks like a very highly maneuverable sensor platform in that mode. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mommar Posted September 2, 2012 Share Posted September 2, 2012 The shoulder's haven't been problematic for three years now. The original VE-1 never had that issue either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vi-RS Posted September 3, 2012 Share Posted September 3, 2012 The 2-seater option parts is a major design flaw, the pilot would have crushed and killed instantly if they were trying to get out of the aircraft in battroid mode with that huge radar dome on top.

Froy Posted September 3, 2012 Share Posted September 3, 2012 (edited) But could the VE-1 be in a situation where it should really need to switch to battroid mode? Edited September 3, 2012 by Froy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ErikElvis Posted September 3, 2012 Share Posted September 3, 2012 Holy S. I have so many things pre-ordered for next month im going to have to go through them and likely get rid of something. I dont know if it should make me happy that we have this problem or upset i won't be able to get them all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoreyD Posted September 3, 2012 Share Posted September 3, 2012 After pre-ordering the VF-4, I don't think I can swing the VE-1 as well. It's a shame, but at least I still have the V1 version. Oh well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ErikElvis Posted September 3, 2012 Share Posted September 3, 2012 I pre-ordered from amiami just in case i missed HLJ then saw HLJ's like 5 mins later. Ill get it from amiami so I dont get blacklisted by letting it lapse. Gotta keep my options open Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ultraman zoffy Posted September 3, 2012 Share Posted September 3, 2012 Funny, but my only interest in getting either a 2nd VE-1 or VT-1 would be specifically for the super parts... I don't need a 2nd valk of either one, but I'd sure love to slap their backpacks and super parts onto other valks with similar colors.

Chronocidal Posted September 3, 2012 Share Posted September 3, 2012 Well, sad to say, I tested my VT-1's packs on my VF-1D, and they don't really fit or stay on at all. You can fit the leg packs, obviously, but the backpack doesn't line up. The boosters can slide on without any trouble, but there's nothing to hold them on, since they need that extra backpack piece to clip onto. While you can put the backpack piece on, attaching the boosters to it means you have to pull up the backpack to the angle the VT-1's normally sits at, which doesn't work with the VF-1D's tails folded over. Now, whether the VE-1's boosters are any different I don't know, but I would assume they use the same type of backpack clip, or some other similar method to attach to the other backpack type, without having the tails folded.

Loop Posted September 3, 2012 Share Posted September 3, 2012 I am currently mulling over if I should get another version 2 Elint. I have never had it in Batteroid mode so I don't think I will even miss the option parts.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
