Macross Yamato figures YF-11,YF-19,YF-21 FastPack / Standard

[Guest retroborg]

Hello,

I have a few queries concerning the MACROSS PLUS Yamato transformable Valkyrie figures.

Except for the obvious colour differences and packaging, what other differences are there between:

1. VF-11B & VF-11B Fast Pack

2. YF-19 & VF-19A

3. YF-21 & YF-21 Fast Pack

Are they all the same quality and size of 1:60 scale or are they 1:55 scale like the Bandai Valkyries?

I want to buy the VF-11, YF-19, & YF-21 but I?m not sure if I should go for the ?Fast Pack? editions, the standard ones or the ?A? VF-19A instead of the YF-19?

Any info will be highly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

The only thing I remember hearing off the top of my head is that the Fast Pack version of VF-11B have addressed the joint problems the originals had. Yamato dealt with weak joints by beefing them up a bit. I suppose you can say they had hip replacements. I guess there have been issues with tranformation problems between the different modes that the new versions no longer have.

Also the color of the Fast Pack versions are slightly different than the originals. Not to say this is a bad thing, just a different shade. But you already know that.

I am not a major collector so I really can't be of much help. I have original Macross stuff like the Bandai 1:55 scale VF-1J. As for Macross Plus, I just remember hearing that the joint issues people were having has been fixed with the Fast Pack.

Sorry I couldn't be of more help!

Thanks for the info!
Yes, that does sound logical and I do prefer the colour of the Fast packs.

What about the YF-19 & VF-19A?

Hello,
I?m interested in buying the following Valkyries (Brand New / Selaed):

Yamato VF-11B Fast Pack (Macross Plus)
Yamato VF-19A (Macross Plus)
Yamato YF-21 Fast Pack (Macross Plus)
Yamato VF-1J Maximilliam Jenius Super Valkyrie (Blue) 1:60
Yamato VF-1S Super Valkyrie 1:60

Bandai VF-1S Super Valkyrie Skull Leader 1:55
Bandai VF-1A Production Type (Brown) 1:55

Where would the best, cheapest and most reliable places be to buy these Valkyries?
I live in Greece EU, so online stores in the EU region would be preferred (To save shipping), but any other worldwide reliable online stores that accept Paypal payment method & ship via Express Mail (EMS), would be just fine.

Any links will be highly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

[SIZE=1][COLOR=SlateGray]Hey, Retroborg first of all welcome to the OB. Second, I don't mean to be ignorant but what is Valkyrie? If you gave a general idea of what a Valkyrie is, then ignorant folks like me (or I think I'm the only ignorant one here) will try to help you. Even though I don't have a clue what a Valkyrie is, I'll try and help. Did you try Ebay? It's the only site I know that sells nearly everything, and maybe a valkyrie will perphaps be there.

I know. I'm not much of a help, but I try.[/COLOR][/SIZE]
