Recommend a Valk to Buy!

You should either get the VF-0S or the VF-0A




I'm awaiting my VF-0S at the moment.

iDD

Man I want that heavy armor for my VF-1J. It was always one of my favorite armors on the show for that multi-missile attack thing, and it just looks fat and bad-ass.

This may sound stupid, because i know little about these awesome things, but does anybody know if you can buy these things in US stores, like TRS or someplace? Thanks in advance to any info on this.

This is exactly why I avoid getting into the 1/48 stuff regurdless of how much I want them. Its not that I can't afford one or two, its that I can't really afford the 7 or so i'd end up buying if I started.


Not if your after big VF1 toys since they only stock the Robotech-licenced Toynami stuff, which has a woeful QC repuation.

I've ordered some non-toy stuff from them and had no problem, althougth the shipping was a bit brutal since they only seem to send by courier.

So whats wrong with the Masterpiece series? I've read goos and bad things about them. I heard that Volume 1 just sucked, but the volumes that followed were a lot better. Is this true?

I've not had first hand myself, but apparently they have allot more inconsistancy issues with assembly quality and durability then you'd expect from something at that price point.

Ya the Toynami one's are awful. I was at a local comic shop once and they had a bunch of them, every single one was broken inside the packaging or had missing missiles or something, it was ridicules.

Anyway I am this close to picking up a Miria, the other ones look good but I really like the red, think it gives it a bit more character. Would pick up the Max but its just out of my price range, unless RW wants to find me a cheap one

Also really eyeing the 1/48 Mass Production. I know some dont like the brown, but I donno I think it looks pretty good.

THE MPC VF-1's are not bad if you pick them up under MSRP. I was able to get Rick and Ben for 100$ togethere, and...Roy for $10. Bear in mind these were all MIB when I bought them.

Rick definitely needed tighter ratchets, Ben was an IMMENSE improvement in quality. For what they were they were decent, certainly not the best VF-1 toys you could buy but they had more features than the bandai 1/55(althoguh the bandai 1/55 reigns supreme in many of our minds simply because of nostalgia, its gorgeous build quality and tough as anything construction...if any valkyrie were to last generations, the bandai 1/55 would be it, nothing comes close.)

Anyways from what I am hearing now the alpha MPC are worse than the VF-1.

With the VF-1 MPC as long as you can get one for about under 60$ you shouldn't be too displeased. With Rick its hit or miss, some were assembled with tight ratchets, a lot were not(including mine). Like I said later volumes had way better quality, especially Ben. I like these a LOT better than the yamato 1`/60 VF-1 . Now aesthetically there is no comparison, the 1/60 trumps it, but as a toy that can be played with? Well the MPC wins.

Now both do not compare at all to the 1/48 but for the price of the 1/48, well damn near anything shouldn't have to be compared for the price your paying LOL. Its a big investment but your buying the best calibre valkyrie out there.
Its great but I only have 1. I have 3 MPC's, 1 1/60, 2 bandai 1/55 reissues, Jetfire, Fire Valkyrie, VF-19A and VF-11B and my sole 1/48 VF-1S Hikaru.

If you can handle the investment and remember not to force the backpack past the hinge, you should be fine with the 1/48. Its the best looking of all and 2nd in durability to the 1/55(then again theres not that many toys that can out toughen the 1.55). I only wish it was...

a-cheaper
b-had ratchets in the shoulder joints instead of balljoints
c-had super hard plastic
