Metal Build Dynames Repair looks amazing, and it would look great alongside Metal Build Exia. -
No the GBP will come with a Bandai Grey Gundam marker rebranded as a Macross marker for collectors to colour their white goggles into grey goggles.
-
That 1D is even more glorious than I had imagined. It’s beautiful. Also grey goggles 1J. Noice. For me 1D is a must have. Grey goggles 1J GBP will be a nice to have if I can afford it (or more likely actually able to secure a PO at all )
-
Quite a few of us here were also not able to secure a Roy during PO week, but we're all hopeful for stock availability during release week, and historically speaking people were successful with scoring a 1S Hikaru on release week. Fingers crossed.

I saw the photo and immediately heard the SFX that goes with a Gundam activating and the eyes glowing and coming to life.

I don’t have enough valks for it to be a problem for me, so i prefer to keep them on or off appropriate for the mode its in. I do agree that it can be annoying to have all the intake covers in 1 zip lock bag, as I found it hard to match up the correct cover for each valk when i had more valks. Convenient if you had the Arcadia clear stand with the storage built in.

That’s amazing! With 2020 being generally a pretty blah year, that kind of prize is fantastic! Well done!
-
just to remind everyone that this thread is dedicated to DX VF-1 releases, so it is most appreciated if we can keep on topic.
-
I completely forgot Freedom concept 2 was releasing this month, and only realised when I got the HLJ notification. I thought it would have been closer to end of August. It’s now sitting in my private warehouse until 2021 since Aussie shipping is too expensive right now. In hind sight I should have cancelled the PO because I’ll probably be able to get it faster through my work. Oh well... hopefully I can score a DX Roy on release and have them both sit in PW until the pandemic is over and affordable shipping returns to ship them together.

Yep as much as i enjoying reading about inheritance of Macross collections (i have little kids and wonder the same), lets keep on topic and discuss strictly DX VF-1 please. would love to see a separate thread on collection inheritance. Here’s an on topic subject that has been annoying me recently. Why did Bandai design 1 side of the DX box upside down... its consistent with 1J and 1A Max...
-
I think this is a misconception. The DX VF-1 line is not a scaled up HMR VF-1. There are vastly different mechanisms in between them. It more accurate to say the DX VF-1 line is a scaled up Yamarcadia 1/60 VF-1, with mechanical and aesthetic changes (better and worse). I believe it was mentioned a long time ago that the DX was in fact designed by T-REX, who also designed the Yamato 1/60 VF-1, which explains why they are very similar. Did T-REX decide on all the changes or was the Bamco? Or a combination of both making iterative design changes.
-
I just noticed DYRL Max is 001 in that pic. That is Max right, and not some on screen artistic colour variation of Hikaru? I can't remember DYRL much at all, but the blue and glasses suggest to me that it's Max.
-
It was covered in an interview i believe. They stated they wanted to go 1/48 because the VF-1 is much smaller than subsequent variable fighters, and they wanted them to still look impressive when placed next to the other 1/60ish variable fighters they’ve previously released.
-
I feel like the green knees would look out of place when in fighter mode. Anyone care to Pshop that to confirm?
-
They already teased HMR of those. I wouldn’t be interested. It’s all about OG for me.
-
It will be a TWE TV 1S Hikaru with Supers just to piss off everyone who has POed TWE Super to go with their TV 1S Fockers, which is completely non canon...
-
Yep... It was hard to remove from cart, but definitely would be so upset if having it cart caused me to miss out again on release week etc.
-
I removed the Order Stop Roy from my HLJ cart after seeing this comment, so I don't get stuck at checkout next time if/when it ever comes back in stock.
-
Praying for 2nd stock. I just have no luck.
-
dang.... I was busy with some work orders and totally missed this! *CRY*
-
Thanks! FOMO got one! J/K
-
Ben Kakizaki... LOL!!!!
-
I'm just going to wait for release week now, as people have stated it was easy enough to pick up a 1S Hikaru last year after scalpers dropped their $0 commitment POs after no bites. Have to resist temptation of paying more out of fear.
