seti88 Posted March 17, 2019 Share Posted March 17, 2019 (edited) Cool toy, they forgot to slide the knee covers up though. Nicely spotted... Cool! Took out the F-14A. the vf-4 should be as large as the f-14, no? A question waiting to be answered... boy if there was a similar scaled sr-71 (cos they both have twin engine on the wings), that would provide a nice contrast to a white vf-4.. oh maaan...what did I make myself look for.... 1/72 scale...https://www.amazon.com/Mastercraft-Collection-Blackbird-Reconnaissance-Supersonic/dp/B0006N1Q90 1/100 scale...https://www.amazon.ca/Motormax-Skywings-100-Scale-77017/dp/B005VCO8PA Not sure on the quality tho...sorry for the diversion...

The VF-4 should be a little bit smaller in length than the F-14. Yeah the SR-71 would contrast well with the VF-4. I still need a good 1/100 scale SR-71, F-117, and B-2 Bomber.

Chronocidal Posted March 17, 2019 Share Posted March 17, 2019 By the way, for anyone looking for a 1/100 VF-25, but not wanting to deal with the VF100s, there's always this little gem of a kit. Fighter only, but you can't really go wrong at this pricepoint. https://hlj.com/1-100-scale-vf-25f-messiah-valkyrie-alto-custom-ban969488 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alex GS Posted March 18, 2019 Share Posted March 18, 2019 I'm really thinking of letting these ones go((HMR VF4 x 2) once I pay for them(don't want to get bad reputation from AmiAmi by cancelling), some surprise expenses pop up for me so I will need to recover some of the cash from this purchase, if I decide to let them go(I hope not) I will sell them for much less of its original price, will let you know guys .

Pontus Posted March 18, 2019 Share Posted March 18, 2019 I gotta stay off of this site. You guys are always making me want more! I've never seen where this came from, and thus wasn't all that interested, but after seeing everyone get excited about it, I decided to look it up and watch it in action. Awesome! Now I want one!

Chronocidal Posted March 18, 2019 Share Posted March 18, 2019 Wow, Detachable I only have one request for these.. well, ok two. Obviously, they need to stay on. Second? It doesn't look like it from the picture there, but I'm really wishing they had molded all of the missiles identically. I know Yamato made the attachments different for the different locations, but they didn't even bother to try and give the missiles a standard shape.

sh9000 Posted March 18, 2019 Share Posted March 18, 2019 The tabs should hold the missiles in place. I’ll keep them from falling out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

onnasake Posted March 19, 2019 Share Posted March 19, 2019 My Lightning will be arriving Saturday or Sunday, On the one hand, I want to avoid all pics and videos to be completely surprised by the brand new toy. On the other hand, that ended in utter disaster for my YF-19. Maybe I'll find a happy medium and go to videos when I;m really stuck on something. Thankfully, between the 19 and my Sentinel Mospeada I have now learned to handle these toys as gently and delicately and possible and never ever use excessive force on anything. This is my first Hi Metal R.....I am a bit surprised by how small it is, It is NOT gonna scale well on a shelf with the YF 19. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So any breakage you may experience with the HMR will not be quite as traumatic as the ones that you experienced with your original DX YF-19.

davidwhangchoi Posted March 19, 2019 Share Posted March 19, 2019 i'm perplexed, the white plastic looks kinda cheap in some pics. like some cheap marshmallow ghostbuster. hopeful it's just the lighting. doesn't look as nice as the cover box pics.

borgified Posted March 19, 2019 Share Posted March 19, 2019 Think of me! This is the first thing that pops into my mind when you said this.. I admit that some guys don't like musicals.. To each their own I say. I'm actually staring to like the VF-4 after seeing pics of it more being posted and seeing the transformation done by Bandai before the actual release date.

Sanity is Optional Posted March 19, 2019 Share Posted March 19, 2019 After watching the transformation video I'm noticing a lot of similarities in design to the VF-25 and VF-31. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Penguin sushi Posted March 19, 2019 Share Posted March 19, 2019 If anyone gets an extra vf-4 I wouldn't mind buying one. With practically all the places sold out. I hate how tons of people only wanting to make a few dollars on top of what they paid got them to resell. It has been this way a lot with items and it is getting tiring. Yhey really are not making that much money on what they spend Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
