The radome does appear to telescope up and down on its post. Maybe the author is describing that feature?

Probably that is what they meant...tot for a second there, it meant the radome could extend the edges ala luca's vf-25 or vf-171ex. :rolleyes:

lost in translation....

its good the radome can be detached..saw this older pic from macrossjunkie and i think its quite fetching without a radome too...

Yeah, that's a lot of ELINT Seekers. Not sure if even @sh9000 is getting that many. 

@amptor -- Are you just a really big fan of this and the VT-1?

Speaking of VT-1, I'd also really love to see a PO soon. But with the last HMR releases being VF-1 variants, I'm guessing Bandai will mix it up and announce something else, like a destroid maybe (hopefully the Tomahawk).

Indeed. It is a beautiful valk.  Hoping the VT-1 turns out just as well. :D  I still have to order the VF-1A super that is my favorite Hikaru model.  Too bad I missed out on the Fokker strike.

You guys are total enablers!! :angry:

Just ordered the last Hi-Metal R VF-2SS from Manda (after much debate), passed the VF-1J with the GBP as I need to re-coupe my funds for the Elintseeker that I want to get. Arriving in two weeks time when I get confirmation when its has been shipped.

To be honest, I've never been much of a fan of the barely-glimpsed "ELINT Seeker" Valkyrie, but Bandai's version is unexpectedly cool.

Certainly my favorite rendition of this design to date... and another solid win for the HMR line.  B))

100% agree. The DYRL paint jobs bore me to death and I'll probably sell all my HMR DYRL toys off when the line is dead some day and I've taken a few required group shots... but I'll probably hold on to the Elint and SuperO. I sold off my Yammys to make room and I definitely regret it.

I ordered my VF-1A from MyKombini and paid off all my shipping on AE so I should be receiving my 9 VE-1 Elints and one VF-1A Super which is my favorite super aside from Max Jenius of course.

Now waiting for preorders for VT-1 Super Ostrich to pop up and I'm not sure how many to buy yet :)

and here i am thinking if i should re-order again the ve-1 as i cancelled one copy of two.

The option of removing the radome and having just a naked double seater so-called low-viz valk is running in my head....
 

You won't regret owning two.

Finally had some time to fix up the VF-2SS SAP a bit so they didn't look so plain. It's the best VF-2SS toy around so I wanted it to not look so out of place next to my 1/60s. :)

Amazing!!!  Fabulous work, congrats on the best looking VF-2SS I've seen from Bandai HM-R line.

Reading this completely bummed me out. Maybe because it was your reviews of the HMR line that got me collecting.

Oh well, I'm happy with the HMRs I've picked up, and still looking forward to a few more.

Me preference for TV paint schemes shouldn't bum you out! I don't have enough room to keep everything... Right now the only true DYRL HMR release is Hikaru's strike 1S and his upcoming 1A... Not much of a purge.

Fair enough! :)

Not counting Roy's release?  Though, that one can mostly be counted in either the TV or DYRL group, as long as you fix the head markings.

Looking back, I never intended to grab all of the HMRs, but I've still grabbed multiples of most of the releases. :lol: No Hikaru 1S though.  At this point I'm mostly just wanting sets of TV fast packs to outfit my CFs.

Yeah, not counting Roy... At least until he gets a true TV release. HMR has been fuzzy on DYRL vs TV schemes so we'll see how this goes.

I feel like the odd one out here with just 1 VE-1 coming from HLJ.

I'd like to see more TV and DYRL VF-1s.. just not all at once :)  I just caught up with the Hi Metal -R releases don't wanna get buried again.

Your not the only one...
