aside from the current low visibilitys and stealth there are no "fantasy" Vf-1 in the 1/48 series Aren't all the DYRL Valkyries "fantasy" Valkyries, seeing as DYRL was supposed to be a "movie" within the TV series? ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

Good point. Unless it is considered an alternate universe, then it is not a fantasy but it is just it exists in another continuum? Or maybe it is a fantasy Valk if it never appears in any official Macross show, comic, etc? Ala Jack Archer! lol And why do I sound like a real bad fanboy?

Ah - but that's my point: Jack Archer's variant DID appear in Macross footage for all of 2 seconds - it was all an animation error and was not supposed to be there... but it if it appears, does it make it "real?" (this is kinda like the argument over the "nosecone lasers." There are lots of mistakes in the original Macross footage - hard to accept the fact that Macross was a fairly low-budget anime when it started out, eh?

Yes, that's what all the people at macrossworld says that it was a VF-1A and a VF-1J overlapping. mind you I didn't personally catch a glimpse of it in the anime I did see an orgroid in one of the battle scenes Well in light of all the 1/48 variant releases such as the low vis and stealth I've decided to get rid of my last toynami 1/55 Jack Archer it went for $51US now I'm completely a 1/48 Vf-1 purist ;D Did you know that toynami only made 5000 units of this abomination? ...so that means I could be kicking myself If it ever does appreciate

Lurker, I wouldn't lose sleep over it, you got rid of a problematic toy! lol, I am tempted to by a 1/55 Toynami...led eye, but with all the nightmares I keep hearing about the quality is making me run...and as far as this thing appreciating, well if Battlecry the video game can be any barometer. I think you better of taking the $50 and opening a ROTH IRA with it...lol FYI the videogame is filling up the bargain bins of most ebgames and gamestops throughout the nation. This game first sold at $49.99 I know, I'm one of the idiots who bought it, now people are not picking it up for $3.99! WTF?
