i've always wanted to get into macross, but i don't have the money for transformers, marvel, my other random hobbies, and macross, so i'll just have to live vicariously through you, peaugh.
The Version 2 is fantastic. I am so angry at myself for missing out on this one. They sold out FAST everywhere. Now they cost a lot more. Shoot. I am so sad. :( Great review, as always.
Hey Peaugh, could do me favor, at risk of causing catastrophic upheaval, could you do a size comparison between you next Macross Veritech and a Voyager-class transformer?
This is such a fantastic figure, a vast improvement over the original. It's too bad that I don't money to purchase this, since I spent it all on getting Figma and Figuarts.
@sapientanomaly Difference is this is made as a collectible which allows them to sell it for more while Transformers are designed as toys for kids. Because of that they can spend more money on the design of a figure. For a Transformer $50 is the absolute most you can sell a figure for, for a Japanese collectible that's low to mid price range. There's no way Hasbro would even think of selling a $200 toy.
i ordered a g1 jetfire with most booster pieces from ebay dec 2015, so happy to collect stuff we couldn't afford back then. But then my heart fell shortly after purchase: as i researched that old Bandai/Hasbro legal thing(i remember it was Robotech here in US back in the 80s, but i mostly collected hasbro or ko stuff), I saw these amazing Renewals and knew i hadda have one! I just ordered this one last nite ebay, should come 2 weeks japan to ny-can anyone tell me what they paid for customs fees? can't wait til he comes, the contrast of displaying a modern VF25F next to an ole school 80s valkyrie.
a video speaks a thousand words about how the transformation takes its shape. thanks. Wonder how to get one? I do not think I can get one easily in Australia? Any ideas.....
Finally!! The Dotm blight has almost ended!! He seems much better___he doesn't have the metal arm/shoulder connector sticking out!! Will you be getting the VF-29 Durandal and/or the DotM Striker Op Prime?
No need to wonder, the armor packs will be here soon. They have been confirmed. Also keep making awesome vids, I have bought tons of stuff from your reviews. Also pop back into macrossworld every now and then too.
Thankyou for this review i love macross valkyries i have been wondering what this version is like. love your reviews looking forword to your transformers prime bulkhead and prime reviews.
can you show on your next vdeo the waist rotation range in robot form. i know its alot to ask for , ill probally get this awsome collectible. the figure looks amazing.
They're coming back to HLJ pretty soon. Otherwise you're stock on the aftermarket being charged more than double the base price. Ouch! They sell out fast though.
peaugh big bad toys store has the VF-25S (V2.0) for preorder if i waite like 3 months to get it, will i miss out? are valkyries like hot toys you have to buy them when they come out right way? or else you pay alot more later on?. this will be my first VALKYRIE
@kairus1 Get it from HLJ.com, it comes from japan as I just got mine today and waited a week with EMS shipping. Still payed about 30 less at HLJ then then BBTS and they still as of right now instock the renewal version. I would say wait no more then a 2 weeks after the release date or pre-order it to make sure you get one.
GOD DAMN IT When are they going to do a YF-19 like this? It just get's me on my nerves to see all of these Bandai super detailed transformable ones and not see one YF-19. It's like one of the most adored Valkyries out there (along with this 25 and the VF-1). If they did the whole collection it was more than certain to give them profit but they are relaunching VF-25's I know there's the A, B, blah blah, Why, Zed, but its getting boring already to get more of the same. Stop Leeching us would you?
+edoggz20111 Also you can wait to see if Bandai is going to make the DX of the VF-1EX that appear in Macross Delta chapter 03, that VF-1EX have the same paint scheme of the original Jetfire.

picked this up on Amazon a few motnhs back...it is freaking super awesome!
when i have kids.. they can have my smartphone while i play with this..
Holy. That's an arm and an leg. Shelling $200 is already over the range for me. Gotta start saving!!
i've always wanted to get into macross, but i don't have the money for transformers, marvel, my other random hobbies, and macross, so i'll just have to live vicariously through you, peaugh.
I might get this as a stand in generations jetfire
Thanks Ben! Helped me out getting those landing gear flaps into the chest on the one I got from Hugo hahaha
You're welcome!
Thanks allot, now I will never think of it the same ever again!
The Version 2 is fantastic. I am so angry at myself for missing out on this one. They sold out FAST everywhere. Now they cost a lot more. Shoot. I am so sad. :( Great review, as always.
oh snap! had no idea there would be improvments, thought it was a straight up repackage. no a big macross fan but, i realllllly want this bad!
Oh man does that look awesome.
Hey Peaugh, could do me favor, at risk of causing catastrophic upheaval, could you do a size comparison between you next Macross Veritech and a Voyager-class transformer?

His guns looks like a fish/submarine '-'. BUT GOD DAYUM. That is a masterpiece of a design :D
Alto's hand is in Slave connect mode to his Valkyrie like in the last episode of the TV show. That's why it looks like a karate chop.
Getting a review of a Macross instead of a Transformer is a bit like being promised an AC/DC concert, only to arrive and see that Rush is playing.
I wonder where he stalls all of his collection of brilliant toys.
amazing peaugh
Awesome figure!!

omg its not a parts former im soooo happy
Glad I only bought one of the V1s and sold it soon after... Kind of feel bad for those who went whole hog with the V1s.
i always like your reveiws
robotech is one of my favourite animes
Awesome figure. I like a lot.

im getting a sort of updated jetfire vibe from this thing
wow looks amazing. those the robot form have waist rotation?
a video speaks a thousand words about how the transformation takes its shape. thanks. Wonder how to get one? I do not think I can get one easily in Australia? Any ideas.....
Finally!! The Dotm blight has almost ended!!
He seems much better___he doesn't have the metal arm/shoulder connector sticking out!!
Will you be getting the VF-29 Durandal and/or the DotM Striker Op Prime?
what's the difference between this version and 1/72 VF-25F Messiah Valkyrie Alto Type version?
I always wished I could aford to get into Veritechs. They're so dam awesome!
No need to wonder, the armor packs will be here soon. They have been confirmed. Also keep making awesome vids, I have bought tons of stuff from your reviews. Also pop back into macrossworld every now and then too.
you need to wait a reiisue or find it in a japan importer stock, there are some in ebay but expensive
Thankyou for this review i love macross valkyries i have been wondering what this version is like. love your reviews looking forword to your transformers prime bulkhead and prime reviews.
can you show on your next vdeo the waist rotation range in robot form. i know its alot to ask for , ill probally get this awsome collectible. the figure looks amazing.
Dude I've never heard of robotech for a while but these robots are
Damn, now I feel bad about buying the DX VF-25S Armored Messiah Ozma Custom, now that a Renewal version is imminent next year. Oh well...
That is so awsome does BBTS still carry it? Where else could I find it?
HOLY GUACAMOLE!!!
OH HELLS YES
He's not karate choping man. That's the slave/motion capture mode from the last episode.
@peaugh
oh. passing on the figure all together or just no plans to review it?
They're coming back to HLJ pretty soon. Otherwise you're stock on the aftermarket being charged more than double the base price. Ouch! They sell out fast though.
@peaugh its apparently not in stock anymore how long do i have to wait. and how much was shipping and stuff? Great review tho
Sweeeeeeeet!!! valkooooreeeee!!!
what is this thing from please answer. pretty cool looking
peaugh big bad toys store has the VF-25S (V2.0) for preorder if i waite like 3 months to get it, will i miss out? are valkyries like hot toys you have to buy them when they come out right way? or else you pay alot more later on?. this will be my first VALKYRIE
@isadoncea Thanks! I always wondered where the pilot disappears into. Must be a pain seating upward vertically or when being shot at back! owo
Dude bad ass!!
Damn it's so cool
i want to get that one ,in indonesia hard to find that cool toys!
ya need to get the macross 0 sv-51...any version of it really. it's an awesomly large mecha
never sw this series but the figure is amazing might just get it
Where can I find some of these I have been looking everywhere.
I was about to say that the mode with the nose cone sticking out looked stupid then the head came.
Where did you get it from?! And how much would it be in English Sterling?
where did you get that i've been looking for one
I was wondering if there was actual transformable valkyries. Now i know. I tought most of these were sic part nightmares XD
no dislikes? lets keep this video sacred.
i like the macross figures because you dont see the kibble
@kairus1 Get it from HLJ.com, it comes from japan as I just got mine today and waited a week with EMS shipping. Still payed about 30 less at HLJ then then BBTS and they still as of right now instock the renewal version. I would say wait no more then a 2 weeks after the release date or pre-order it to make sure you get one.
this has a familiar look to it
Where is the cockpit located when in robot form?
i can say thats what she said multiple times during any of of your reviews
@peaugh Can you link me to this one? I've been looking for it.
I would like to buy one as well any idea where I can grab one
where can i pick one up at? an how much? i live in so cali...
what is the point if gerwalk mode? why not be a jest or a robot instead of some halfway point?
can you buy it at amazon and is it worth it?? cause i like alto
does this mean MP-10 is on its way?
PINEAPPLE SALAAAAAAAD!!!
3:17 Channeling the Penguin there, Peaugh?
oh my look at the superior design of this. Transformers could learn a thing or two from these figures
hey peaugh is the dx fv 25f still in stock???
please respond
Good guy aircraft.
Do you plan to get VF171EX and reniew it?
are you getting the new MP optimus?
GOD DAMN IT
When are they going to do a YF-19 like this?
It just get's me on my nerves to see all of these Bandai super detailed transformable ones and not see one YF-19.
It's like one of the most adored Valkyries out there (along with this 25 and the VF-1).
If they did the whole collection it was more than certain to give them profit but they are relaunching VF-25's
I know there's the A, B, blah blah, Why, Zed, but its getting boring already to get more of the same.
Stop Leeching us would you?
sorry for the noob question but what is BBTS???
Why does so many japanese shows have DX in the title?
MEGATRON! *drool*
@legendfang Correction. I bought the last one from hlj
how may i buy one of these
@BioformerCorviz yeah it looks similar to skyfire
Reminds the Su-27/Su-30, to me.
@Strand0410 look for the model kit instead. chogokins are too overpriced imo
i wish i have that
Where can I buy this. I'm trying to locate this on Amazon.
+bngs1983 Amazon is too expensive you can try some japanese shops like AmiAmi or Jungle they still sell sealed units from time to time.
+bngs1983 Or if you don't want specifically the VF-25F, you can search for the VF-25A or the prototype YF-25 which are normally cheaper in amazon.
I'm looking for a stand-in for skyfire/jetfire . Is there any Valkyrie, I should look into for skyfire?
+edoggz20111 Jetfire in the original toyline was a slight repaint/remold of the VF-1S.
+edoggz20111 Also you can wait to see if Bandai is going to make the DX of the VF-1EX that appear in Macross Delta chapter 03, that VF-1EX have the same paint scheme of the original Jetfire.
thank you very much. I will keep a look out for that figure.
now you're talking!
how much does it go for
where can i buy it? hehe
Hate to be a downer, but those things are gone. Best bet is to get one at twice the price from ebay, look for a good deal
Why is it better than many transformers? because its 200 dollars.
@allycliftonsucks That reminds me, I have a kitbash idea where I convert the s retool of this figure into a jetfire toy.
vf what? that looks like a henkei Jet fire to me (?)
:P
A transformer? I think i'm in a wron channel....wait what?
@AZWADER Alto does not equal headmaster
8:05 the gun looks like a giant purple peen lol
i´m selling the ozma (gray version) in mexico but this one costs more than 450 dollars hhehe
