wow! that YF-19 looks great. if only i can buy it this year... or just wait next year for the Fast Pack & Fold Booster accessories first. hehehe. ;D

according to amiami website, the length when it's in Valkyrie mode is 34cm? is this true? if it is, this toy is huge.

ha? i thought it will be coming out with the FP's? So they're going to sell this close to $200 without FP's? daya.

yup. this 1/60 YF-19 is expensive as it is. plus the accessories next year... woohoo! daya nga. ;D

btw, i have a question on this figure. is this gonna be an issue on the real deal?
are this gonna be exposed all throughout the figs? TIA.

[V2]

thats a pre-production version, so most likely the release version will be improved.

thanks brod V2. i'm hoping to have this also. just having second thoughts on those 'awang issue'.

i have a question regarding Yamato Macross Valkyries figures. and if you don't mind, i don't want to post a new thread, so i'll just ask and post it here.

how come this upcoming "1/60" YF-19 and the recent "1/60" VF-01 toy cost more than the "1/48" VF-1 series toys? i thought that "1/48" will cost more since it has a bigger scale compare to "1/60" scales?

here's some price info i found on HLJ.com:
1/48 VF-1S = Y14,800
1/60 VF-0S = Y16,800
1/60 YF-19 = Y18,800

thanks in advance.

Inflation.

[V2]

- cost of technological development and research (hey, engineering isnt that cheap)
- cost of materials (plastic-based materials are getting more expensive in the world market)
- profit margin (yeah, its really rather obvious)

[mojacko]

basically its a new sculpt for yamato....it aint the regular VF-1 series whereas they could just repaint it and sell it like pancakes!!! ;D

[V2]

ugh.

cant...

resist...

staring...

must...

wait for the...

excalibur version....


auuuuugh!!!

thanks for the insights, guys. i'm not a Macross collector that's why i have no idea with their pricing.

mojacko
so in other words, do you think it's best to wait for re-release? ;D

V2
what's an Excalibur model?

Is the excalibur model the same as the VFX blue version?
