That's it! I can't take it anymore! Yes, that's right, I cracked and pre-ordered the Max and bought SW.CA's Mirya. I'm a weak weak man... who still has more Yamato than Razerwire could ever hope for.  

 

I called it!

And I'm still holding out. If I didn't have that guitar coming though, the pre-order would have been made. Twice. At two different stores. And a betting pool set up with myself over which preorder would come in stock first.

 

Check out the gimik for the Fold Booster. Pretty euphoric lights.

 

That's not nearly enough to convince me. That thing is outrageously overpriced.

 

Mmm. Epilepsy.

 

I see your Yamato and raise you one wife.  

 

I see your wife and raise you one underage Taiwanese prostitute on sale for $9.99 in the gas station bathroom.

 

Hey CdnShockwave and Razerwire.

What Yamato's do you currently have on preorder?

 

I currently have:

1/60 VF-0A Shin w/ghost booster
1/60 SV-51
1/48 VF-1J Max super



Razerwire doesn't have any on pre-order (or at least I can say that with relative certainty   ) but he does have a wife to play with, and I'll bet she has more articulation and hidden features than even MP Prime.

 

None. I'm not a highroller like that Canuck.  

 

Videos of the fold booster are hitting YouTube finally.

I dunno, I know a lot of people think it's not worth the price, but after seeing it, I think I'm gonna get it.

Duh. I never thought I would want this... but I do! The lights are fun to watch. It makes a fantastic toy even better.

 

It's not healthy how badly I want that fold booster. I'm sick of seeing cool toys I can't afford this summer. Almost makes me think I should have skipped the new guitar.

Almost.

 

It is so worth it! Obviously though if you don't have the 19 then go for the set of it and the booster rather than buying individually. Only 2 downsides to the booster as I can see it:
1. Batteries not included
2. Makes the 19 heavier in jet mode and this limits what you can do with it and the Valk stand

Apart from that it's a lovely piece, also comes with a stand to keep it on when not in use, and of course there's the FAST packs and the Yang figure for the 19's cockpit.

 

If anyone wants some more detailed pics I'll do my best.

 

that was IT?!! lame. it doesnt even go SHWOO.

 

I had no idea that lit up.

I've got this sitting in the box it was shipped in about five feet away, and I just won't have the time to dick around with it until after finals.

Looking forward to the SV-51 also--I hope they keep doing other models. I know the VF-0s and -1s look crazy different to you Macross fans, but I can't tell 'em apart at all.

 

Well the YF-21 is apparently coming along next year sometime, whether that will be with or without FAST packs remains to be seen.

 

Isn't the SHWOO sound trademarked or something?  

 

awesome news, its my favorite valk!
