I think Bandai will just include the “11” skull circles in the Hikaru 1A.  A bundle with full super pack would be great, but I think with them selling the super packs separate, Bandai will just include the circles.

Unless they do a TWE release for the 1A as a bundle. Stranger things have happened haha.

Yup! You got it. And they seem to control inventory a bit better than N-Y’s model (though I did get two of my missile sets from them on the previous release).

I know I’m suppose to be more excited for Roy but can’t wait to get Hikaru

I think for a lot of us who discovered Macross through robotech, and I know many people didn't even see the DYRL movie for a long time, Effectively, Roy's VF-1S IS Hikaru's TOO, so it's a favorite over where we were denied exposure to DYRL. Hikaru's movie version happens to be my favorite because that final battle is just SO awesome and iconic, but I'm also left with the memory of Roy's death and Hikaru's 'inheriting' his aircraft as the first time I'd seen a cartoon where anything warlike had any real consequences for the characters, and as a 12-13 yr old that was powerful stuff.

Sooooooo.....Roy -1S TV Edition and Movie Edition?

Has there been a pic of the Hikaru -1J and the Max -1A TV next to the new Hikaru -1S "Movie Edition"?  If the plastic is the same shade, then hopefully they would toss in 2 heads in the Roy -1S release like they did with the HMR VF-1A brownie...

The "Movie" distinction on the SSP is a good sign we may get TV editions for those afterall....:unknw:

Hopefully, when the GBP set finally is released it will come with both yellow and red tipped missiles...;)

I doubt they'll go the 2-heads route, the DYRL and TV tampo schemes are quite different.

So with more tampo comes more ways to get bent-over by Bandai? :vava:

So now we may get a TV -1S Roy and a TV -1S Hikaru?  I would prefer a web-sclusive TV -1S Hikaru w/ FP bundle if they go that route...

Hi,

 

Anyone use this site before?

 

https://japanexclusive.ocnk.net/product/6280

Nothing in the "About us" area. 5 followers on their Twitter page that was started in April of 2018. Last post I am seeing there on Twitter was May 2019 for a Godzilla figure.  Seems pretty sketchy to me IMO. And from "Bootleg Mega Thread on Reddit "Thanks for the insight. The thing about them that kept bugging me was the fact that its twitter only has 2 followers and one of them is only posting porn lol. "

They showed Hikaru's 1A with the 011 Skull numbering. Bandai might bundle Hikaru's 1A with it's proper numbered Fast Packs.

Bandai always chooses to complicate their releases<_<

i agree, esp bc this is the lowest least desirable dyrl valk. 

i see a special version release by bandai to spice things up. Skull 11 will be so rare plp will cry bc they cannot get it:cray:

Wouldn't Kakizaki be the least desirable?

The House Intelligence Committee just questioned the Ukraine ambassador on if he has knowledge regarding the release date of Roy’s VF-1S.  
 

The ambassador responded that he doesn’t know because he only collects HMR.

;) 

 

....meanwhile candidates proposed free "Valkyriecare for all", pinpointing the fact that many macross collectors' basic need of valkyrie collection is being utterly neglected.

TALK TO RUDY! No Roy VF-1S until the ukrainians investigate burisma.

Never used buyee before, that’s Japan’s eBay I think? I registered and completed check out and it says my bid is live but I thought I checked out to “buy it now”, can anyone with experience using buyee chime in if did it correctly?
 

edit: got confirmation email that I won the auction, waiting for them to negotiate with seller now. I hope this all works put! Thanks for the link @Shawn!
