Valkyrie Hunter D Posted February 29, 2004 Share Posted February 29, 2004 Yup, nothing wrong with the 60s. I just wish Yamato went through with the upgrade parts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scand Posted February 29, 2004 Share Posted February 29, 2004 WORD! I love my 1/60's, and WORD again on the fastpack upgrades. I got so bored the other night I drilled holes in Hikaru's legs. When I was done I was test fitting the armor and realized the arms wouldn't take the armor. DOH! I'm going to have to invest in a nice dremel tool.

Nightbat Posted February 29, 2004 Share Posted February 29, 2004 If I were to choose 1 toy, yes it would be the 1/48 But the 1/60's are probably gonna be the most elaborate with the Q-rau, and the monster, chances are were gonna see more the 1/60's are still cool, especially if you want a collection Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eternal_D Posted February 29, 2004 Share Posted February 29, 2004 unfortunately because of the 1/48s, my love for the 1/60 has dwindled to the point where I can stand not to have them on display. but they were the shiznit back then...and I still love my collection and would never sell it...but with limited shelf space and so many other cool stuff to display...these have to go back into their cardboard coffins.

Sumdumgai Posted February 29, 2004 Share Posted February 29, 2004 If they make a 1/60 resculpt VF-1 to have all the features of the 1/48 I'm damned well sold! As few die-cast as possible, lots of ABS plastic, some new pilots that have legs... Sell it for like $40-50. Till then though, although I still like my 1/60 valks, the 1/48s are my preferred.

GRAND CANNON Posted February 29, 2004 Share Posted February 29, 2004 If I were to choose 1 toy, yes it would be the 1/48But the 1/60's are probably gonna be the most elaborate with the Q-rau, and the monster, chances are were gonna see more the 1/60's are still cool, especially if you want a collection Ditto. Where I do not have enough cash to get multiple 1/48s, I would rather spend that money on gathering the 1/60s (also 1/72s). I can (hopefully) then have a greater amount of vehicles in replicating many different models from the movies and TV series. I mean, look at all of these and what may be coming..... 1. VF-1A Valkyrie (Hikaru Ichijo's Custom) 2. VF-1S Valkyrie (Roy Fokker's Custom) 3. VF-1A Valkyrie (Max Jenius' Custom) 4. VF-1A Valkyrie (Production) (TRU Japan) 5. VF-1A Valkyrie (Production) 6. VF-1J Super Valkyrie (Hikaru Ichijo's Custom) 7. VF-1S Strike Valkyrie (Roy Fokker's Custom) 8. VF-1J Super Valkyrie (Max Jenius' Custom) 9. VF-1J Super Valkyrie (Millia Fallyna Jenius' Custom) 10. VF-1D Valkyrie 11. VE-1 ELINT Seeker 12. VT-1 Super Ostrich 13. Queadluun-Rau (Millia Fallyna's Custom) ON THE WAY / Possibles..... 14. VF-1J Armored Valkyrie (Hikaru Ichijo's Custom) 15. GBP-1S Armor 16. Queadluun-Rau (Max Jenius' Custom) ??? 17. Queadluun-Rau (Production) ??? 18. Queadluun-Rau (Production- TV) ??? VERY HOPEFUL!! 19. HWR-00-Mk.II Monster ???? Although I would like to have a 1/48 at some point as a centerpiece, at this point in time I would like to take advantage of anyone who would like to cheaply sell their '60s and '72s to get $$$ for their '48 obsession.

Jawjaw Posted February 29, 2004 Share Posted February 29, 2004 I still like my 1/60's just like I still enjoy my 1/55's. The 1/60's look pretty good in all modes and make good display pieces. The 1/48's are much better, though, and what I reach for when I want something to play with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DARTHTODD Posted February 29, 2004 Share Posted February 29, 2004 I love the 1/60's too, can't afford to keep up with the 1/48's. I need food and shelter more than toys unfortunately. That's why I like Yamato's decision to make the 1/100 zero toys too. They're giving us something we can affort to collect multiple color schemes in.

Shin Densetsu Kai 7.0 Posted February 29, 2004 Share Posted February 29, 2004 I relegated tm6y 1/60 to a display mode now. My /48 is much more stable an PLAYABLe...and not as proine to getting loo9se...my 1/60 is now a ragdoll whos legs fall off if you pick it up and tilit it sideways..YES that bad! This thing makes me happy my 1/48 is mostly plastic. I too like my 1.48 way more than my 1/60...my 1/60 wouild be even better on display if its gear wasnt so loose.

UN Spacy Posted February 29, 2004 Share Posted February 29, 2004 Well. I just got rid of ALL of my 1/60's and 1/72's. I'm staying with the 1/48 line because the possibilities are endless (although kinda expensive ). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mister_e Posted February 29, 2004 Share Posted February 29, 2004 Well. I just got rid of ALL of my 1/60's and 1/72's. I'm staying with the 1/48 line because the possibilities are endless (although kinda expensive ). Endless possibilities? I think the possibilities are quite limited actually. I wouldn't expect anything other than a VF-1 in 1/48. As a matter of fact, I wouldn't even expect all of the variants we saw in the 1/60 line (VF-1D, VT-1 and/or VE-1). I'm sure I'm a "glass is half empty" kind of person, but I really wouldn't be holding my breath for that 1/48 GBP armor either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drifand Posted March 1, 2004 Share Posted March 1, 2004 The 1/60 VF-1Js just look better to me - the head sculpt isn't 'just slightly off' like the 1/48's, and the Battroids have better proportions too. With a couple of needed mods, they make for my favorite realistic display pieces. :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pat S Posted March 1, 2004 Share Posted March 1, 2004 I picked up the 1/60's and just bought one 1/48 as a "demonstrator" if you will. The 1/60's are my babies Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lynx7725 Posted March 1, 2004 Share Posted March 1, 2004 I guess I fall in the 1/60 support group.. never had the need or urge to pick up the 1/48 (mainly due to size and cost issues), and as of right now 1/60 offers more possibilities. (For one, I'm fairly sure that a 1/60 Glaug would be offered eventually -- it's a signature mecha. I cannot imagine a 1/48 Glaug.. that would belong in a child's playpen.) Sigh. No 1/60 FAST upgrade, and the 1/60 GBP has been delayed. Yamato must hate me for not supporting the 1/48. The sad thing is that I would instantly pick up 1 more CF and 3 FAST packs without hesitation if they are offered. I have a Strike-1S, a CF and a 1D. The purchases I mentioned will make a full flight with FAST packs, great for a display. Backed up with the two GBP I already pre-ordered, that's quite a bit of money into Yamato's coffers.

Mechafan Posted March 2, 2004 Share Posted March 2, 2004 The 1/60's are still nice. I mainly just display them now. The 1/48's have taken over. I do not plan to get rid of only 1/60's anytime soon. The VF-1D, VE-1 and VT-1 you got to love them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nani?! Posted March 2, 2004 Share Posted March 2, 2004 I was on the brink of selling my whole 1/60 collection to start a 1/48 collection but I think the one 1/48 I have is good enough... Selling off my whole 1/60 collection to buy a couple of 1/48's seems silly to me now. yeah, 1/48's are hot, but like many said here, 1/60's are my babies. If they make a 1/48 VF-1J with GBP armor, that'd be my second. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aegis! Posted March 2, 2004 Share Posted March 2, 2004 Is there a point a point to this thread ? we all know Mwers are obsessed with the 1/48 , the obvious outcome of such a post would be 1/48 lovers just saying how much cool the 1/48 is over the 1/60 (which is true but OT nontheless). The only problem with the 1/60 is the fact that Yamato made the 1/48. From then on the 1/60 stoped being recognised by its merits and istead was left for those times where people need to glamourise the 1/48.

I had a strong distaste for the 1/60s from he beginning. But it's lightyears ahead of the MPCs, I can give it that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
imode Posted March 2, 2004 Share Posted March 2, 2004 I like 1/48's because the word just rolls off the tongue. Say it with me-- one forty-eight one sixty one forty-eight! one sixty... See, 1/60 has that hard EE sound, plus it doesn't have as many syllables as 1/48. More is better! I buy my toys based on the linguistic value of its scale! -- Can I get a vote for useless thread?

Stormrider Posted March 2, 2004 Share Posted March 2, 2004 WORD! I love my 1/60's, and WORD again on the fastpack upgrades. I got so bored the other night I drilled holes in Hikaru's legs. When I was done I was test fitting the armor and realized the arms wouldn't take the armor. DOH! I'm going to have to invest in a nice dremel tool. I liked my 1/60. Shortly after getting my 1/48 Hikaru -1A, I arranged to trade my -1J head for a Hikaru -1A head, with the eventual goal of making my 1/48 and 1/60 twins (once I had gotten good enough at painting to make the rest of my Super -1J match the whiter -1A head). Alas, that project is over now. The other day my 1/60 took a header onto a concrete floor. Now the left arm and backpack are broken off, and I'm not sure I could fix them. Oh, well.

vlenhoff Posted March 2, 2004 Share Posted March 2, 2004 Lets think the 1/60 didn't exist, just for a second there.... No, no way, I think they have there own personality! 1/60 rock! I'm still missing the Elint and the Ostrich.... I've got no dough for 1/60s right now. I need to save for the 1/60GBP and 1/48M&Ms Vic!

VF-1Guy Posted March 3, 2004 Share Posted March 3, 2004 I like both scales. They each have their merits. When I look at my display cabinet (see my sig) I've noticed that the first thing I always look at is my 1/48 Hikaru Strike. The second thing I look at is my 1/60 VT-1. Next comes the Batman figures. Then I look at the rest of the 1/48s and 1/60s in no particular order. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
