JLYC Posted May 26, 2004 Share Posted May 26, 2004 hi...I'm just wondering why Yamato can't make the 1/60 vf-1's perfect transforming (no detaching parts) like the VF19. I'd thought that the design of the Vf19 was more complex. Also, are the Bandai vf-1's perfectly transforming? I remember it was when I was a kid more than 10 yrs ago...but my memory could be wrong.

do not disturb Posted May 26, 2004 Share Posted May 26, 2004 yamato is no longer making 1/60 valks. the 1/72 YF-19 has perfect trans. but it looks stupid in both gerwalk and battroid mode. they built the entire design according to what the fighter mode should look like. the bandai's are sort of perfect TF but theres no way to attach the gun without using the clip but thats a minor nitpick. also, all the VF's except for the VF-1J hikaru has a removable heatshield, another nitpick.

JLYC Posted May 26, 2004 Author Share Posted May 26, 2004 I was not aware that the 1/60's are no longer in production- when did the news come out? So yamato will only be making 1/48's in the future? thanks!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soze Posted May 26, 2004 Share Posted May 26, 2004 Well, the last 1/60 valkyrie i heard that is going to come out is the GBP armor versioned VF-1J. There's also the 1/60 Q-Rau Max version, but I assume you were talking about valkryies. Anyway, I think the GBP VF-1J is probably the last 1/60 valkyrie.

JLYC Posted May 26, 2004 Author Share Posted May 26, 2004 Thanks. Just to clarify though, when you say that the 1/60 VF-1's are no longer in production do you mean that no new models will be put out (but they'll still continue to make the old models), or that the production is completely stopped (i.e. what's out there is what's available and there'll be no new stocks). Anyword on how long the 1/48 will stay in production?? Thanks alot guys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soze Posted May 26, 2004 Share Posted May 26, 2004 (edited) except for the GBP, I firmly believe what's out there is all that's out there as far as the 1/60 valks go. Edited May 26, 2004 by soze Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
do not disturb Posted May 26, 2004 Share Posted May 26, 2004 except for the GBP, I firmly believe what's out there is all that's out there as far as the 1/60 valks go. alright i forgot the GBP. some of us here are still hoping for a 1/60 low viz, right along with the 1/60 FP kits.

Blaine23 Posted May 26, 2004 Share Posted May 26, 2004 Thanks.

Anyword on how long the 1/48 will stay in production?? Thanks alot guys To really clarify things - We have no idea what Yamato has plans for in either 1/60 or 1/48 scale. Graham has said that he hasn't heard about anything new being made for 1/60 and logic shows that they've made most of the Macross VF-1 variants already. But nothing official to confirm this. As for the 1/48 - again, Yamato hasn't announced any other 1/48 VF-1's, but there are still plenty of different VF-1 variants they can produce and they sell well. The common thought is that we will be seeing more 1/48's. Again, no official word has been made about either line being finished. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichterX Posted May 26, 2004 Share Posted May 26, 2004 I think we had enough with the VF-1, they have to put on sale soon the VF-0, the Variable Monster, YF-19 Fast Pack and of course... the VF-4, I want a VF-4!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Macross_Fanboy Posted May 26, 2004 Share Posted May 26, 2004 I want the armored VF-11, and the YF-19. Man, that YF-21 was a dissapointment, even though it's my first Valk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Druna Skass Posted May 26, 2004 Share Posted May 26, 2004 Enough VF-1s already, I want a VF-14/FZ-109F. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Godzilla Posted May 26, 2004 Share Posted May 26, 2004 Hey I still love the VF-1. Yes I would like to have VF-4, VF-19 and VF-17 as well but nothing, I mean nothing beats the VF-1. I loved it when it was a TF toy Jetfire and I loved it in Robotech/Macross. I want to see the Angel Birds, CF, Vf-1D, VE-1, VT-1, Kakizaki TV and/or Kaz DYRL 1/48. Now a Max VF-1A TV would be pushing it but I wont complain. P.S. I am planning for Space War I with my collection. And no it isnt the closet space.
