vf1_soulja Posted August 21, 2003 Share Posted August 21, 2003 What happened to the 1/48 TV Hikaru -1J. I thought Yamato was going to release that next Anyways, HLJ sucks now that EMS costs too darn much and SAL is too darn slow. Even the old UPS shipping had it's cons (hold ups with customs coming into the states). It's good to check with HLJ once in a while to find out whats coming out next. The DYRL Hikaru -1S looks pretty schweet though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hybridchild Posted August 21, 2003 Share Posted August 21, 2003 Ok ive just seen my first 1/48th! its intresting to see that they decided to go with black for the heatshield Hybridchild Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1 VF-1 2NV Posted August 21, 2003 Share Posted August 21, 2003 I speculate, no suspect, though it is a pre-order it will be several months hence next year, when it comes out. HLJ i think is gauging the toy's sale since many people converted their 1/48 red vf-1a into the vf-1s buy switching heads ! BTW how much does it cost and will it have its own FP...too lazy to check HLJ ! Nevermind I checked myself...lazyass??! Hey what about the 1J?? I thought ot was coming out before the hikaru vf-1s?

bandit29 Posted August 21, 2003 Author Share Posted August 21, 2003 Its the same pic that was up on the old MW boards. Its a bad photo shop of a VF-1S Roy. You can see the yellow underneath the red. So maybe the heatshield might be red in the final product. I like black better but red isn't bad either. I wouldn't buy this from HLJ though. EMS is too expensive and SAL is too slow.

Mechamaniac Posted August 21, 2003 Share Posted August 21, 2003 Yay, Yamato/BW is needlessly bilking us out of more funds by releasing the same toy with a different head. Something they could have easily done by selling spare heads with the FP Kit. Sorry Yamato, you're not getting my money for this one.

Etrigan Posted August 21, 2003 Share Posted August 21, 2003 Except that it has the improvements of the recent 1/48 releases, and with Graham's help it may have panel lines. I'll be buying. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Just Gundam Posted August 21, 2003 Share Posted August 21, 2003 I hope for a black heat shield, I can then have an easy Roy custom without wing-flaps, nosecone and crooked skull problems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elrollo Posted August 21, 2003 Share Posted August 21, 2003 I passed out on Roy's vf-1s since it has it's issues. Ill definately pick up one of the hikaru 1s. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H Kakizaki Posted August 21, 2003 Share Posted August 21, 2003 I hope there's just a little more improvement to the hiki vf-1s than just the max upgrades. Regardless, I’ll still be picking one up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Abombz!! Posted August 21, 2003 Share Posted August 21, 2003 One thing though.... is it just me, or does it seem like the ppl who work at EMS play soccer with our packages? Damn those things arrive all beat up and stuff. <_ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Damn those things arrive all beat up and stuff. Never had that problem. Never had a problem with EMS from anyone(CDJapan,HLJ, KoreanDVDs.com etc). Its fast, just expensive. Why did HLJ stop using UPS anyway? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hybridchild Posted August 21, 2003 Share Posted August 21, 2003 Why did HLJ stop using UPS anyway? Cause UPS stopped giving them a bulk discount and the UPS would have ended up costing more than EMS Hybridchild Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abombz!! Posted August 21, 2003 Share Posted August 21, 2003 Nothing ever arrived broken to me... its just that my packages seemed to have been handled like Ace Ventura did in the beginning of his first movie. <_ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drad Posted August 21, 2003 Share Posted August 21, 2003 This one's a buy. I doubt I'll get it from HLJ, though. I passed on the Hikaru VF-1A, hoping for this one. Excellent!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Powered Convoy Posted August 21, 2003 Share Posted August 21, 2003 This is my favorite Valkyrie from DYRL? So I want to get it. Whether or not I will do the the hefty price is another issue. Randy aka Powered Convoy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Etrigan Posted August 21, 2003 Share Posted August 21, 2003 Hefty price? It's only around $200+ for the Valk plus Strike option. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
