mechaninac Posted July 14, 2019 Share Posted July 14, 2019 We've all waited this long; by now, a few extra weeks make no difference... so long as they don't delay further and push the release months away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dobber Posted July 15, 2019 Share Posted July 15, 2019 Still no second wave of the VF-1S. Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twich Posted July 16, 2019 Share Posted July 16, 2019 Yeah, this is curious....it seems that they had that initial production run, then there hasnt been anything for almost a half a year. I am waiting for the VF-1J Hikaru and/or the M&M VF-1J's I think this would make a great first valk for my 10 year old. Twich Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

twich Posted August 3, 2019 Share Posted August 3, 2019 So, I am kinda confused. I know they released a 1/72 VF-1S late last year, then again like a month later. They were promising a second production run that has not materialized. The VF-1J is delayed until end of July.....it is now Aug. 2nd. So, what is the status of the 1/72 VF-1's? I really would like to pick one up, but don't want to pay over $125 for it. Something about it reminds me of the 1/72 Yamato VF-19A VF-X2 version that got me into collecting Macross toys way back in the day.....forget how long ago that was.....

jenius Posted August 3, 2019 Share Posted August 3, 2019 Here's the breakdown: VF-1S Focker released in January. They worked something out with the factory to make some early and the rest later. The 'later' group was the second round of POs that was due out originally in April (i think) but is now due at the end of this month. The black/gold VF-1S Fokker should be out or out soon... i don't think i've seen it in regular people's hands yet. The VF-1J Rick is a December release. I think it always has been The 1/12 Rick Hunter figure was due July of last year is now due by the end of this month The 1/12 Lisa Hayes figure is also due in December.

Dobber Posted August 4, 2019 Share Posted August 4, 2019 (edited) I got an email last week from BBTS about the VF-1S reissue. It was similar with the ones posted above, though no offer for shirts. It stated that it is due in Sept. I wonder if the reissue will recolonization that ridiculous Green stand.

Stampeed Valkyrie Posted August 16, 2019 Share Posted August 16, 2019 Well my "Dark Gold Version" Fokker TV 1S arrived today. Typical packaging with an outer and inner box which is standard on KC releases. I am not gonna open this one up until I complete my game room renovations and have someplace to display it. 581/660 so fairly late to end of the run. I am more interested to see if they kept that Neon Green Display Stand with this release.
