GobotFool Posted September 1, 2003 Share Posted September 1, 2003 Well I came up with a good justification for you all who are still strugling with whether or not you should get the 1/48th VF-1S Hicky. You get all wraped into one, a perfected VF-1S and a perfected Hikaru VF-1. No radon nose troubles, no flap problems and the small amount of paint cracking found on the Hikaru will be a non issues with matt paint being used not enameled. So empty you wallets folks!!!! Also final Justification, its a 1/48 and yamato needs your money to make you a GBP armor and a stamped valk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fulcy Posted September 1, 2003 Share Posted September 1, 2003 The stampeed is being made by Rob. I hope they make the GBP, cause I don't really feel like making it myself - though, I do hope they don't complete the 1/48th line - why? Cause I don't want to have wasted my time with the Ostrich and Elint conversions I'm working on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bub Posted September 1, 2003 Share Posted September 1, 2003 Why? Because I love it. If there is one vintage Macross toy I'd like to have, it would be the VF-1S Hikaru Strike. Yamato 1/60s came, no Hikaru Strike. ,Bandai reissued the 1/55s, no Hikaru Strike. ...yet. (dum dum dum dum) Now, Yamato is going to release a VF-1S Hikaru, me very happy! See me smile! Plus the fast pack..... Dadah!! Hikaru Strike! Arigato, Yamato! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grassland Posted September 1, 2003 Share Posted September 1, 2003 Hello........... Any of you guys became SPOKEMEN for yamato!!! I dont need any reason to get it cos i want my 1/48 collection to be complete, like like my 1/60. You guy cant see the HOLE that YAMATO has cos to my wallet cos its as big as the ozone hole in the sky!!! Hee Hee Just kidding <_< B) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vermillion One Posted September 1, 2003 Share Posted September 1, 2003 Yamato is just plain wrong for releasing the 1S Hikaru. We already choked down the 1A and now this. I wish that they just would have come out with the 1S to begin with. The Stampede is being made? In 1/48 scale? Maybe that will give me something to do with my 'now defunct' Hikaru 1A. I just wish they'd make a 1/48 VF-1D. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toonz Posted September 1, 2003 Share Posted September 1, 2003 if you can remember the last line that minmay sang in the dyrl theme song: "i love you so.........." that says it all. B) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smut Peddler Posted September 1, 2003 Share Posted September 1, 2003 (edited) I didn't need an excuse to pick this one up, he is coming home with me very soon. Edited September 1, 2003 by Smut Peddler Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Extra Large Mumma Posted September 1, 2003 Share Posted September 1, 2003 The Strike Hikaru will be my first 1:48. It's like getting two birds with one stone: I like the Hiraku color scheme and the VF-1S head. B) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoptimus Posted September 1, 2003 Share Posted September 1, 2003 I am gonna get it because it wont have the QC flaws that Roys 1/48 has. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UN Spacy Posted September 1, 2003 Share Posted September 1, 2003 Does my reason need to be legit? LOL. If they can correct the various problems like MilkManX stated, then I'm probably going to pick up Hikaru's VF-1S. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NoSuchFile Posted September 1, 2003 Share Posted September 1, 2003 Cool, since you'll all buy it, that means that Yamato will make a GBP armor Saved me a couple 200$ CAD for other nice things! Thanks guys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Extra Large Mumma Posted September 1, 2003 Share Posted September 1, 2003 Does anyone know if the new 1S head will be clean of the mole that plaqued the old head? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheFrenchOne Posted September 1, 2003 Share Posted September 1, 2003 (edited) Why you should buy the VF-1S Hikaru ? The 1 S is my favorite one, that's why it was my first 1/48 yammies but since yamato is making 1/48 with such real perfection (except some little crap like hands ) i get the max&Hikaru soon after. I though that 2 vf -1 A was enough but i finally felt for the 1A low vis. I'm weak and it will be the same for the next ones. The VF1-S hikaru will join the squadron like the others. It will be probably the same for the next 1/48 release of Yamato and what ? I won't go on holidays with my gal with winter, my banker will soon know by heart my phone number, i won't change my car this year (again) ..... maybe but my squadron will be complete Edited September 1, 2003 by TheFrenchOne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kamui 777 Posted September 1, 2003 Share Posted September 1, 2003 Man, I'm with everyone else on this thread. This is the only reason I want a 1/48. That scene in DYRL, the color scheme. What else do you need? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Druna Skass Posted September 1, 2003 Share Posted September 1, 2003 I'd get one if it wasn't for one little thing... NO MONEY Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VF-1S Alpha Posted September 1, 2003 Share Posted September 1, 2003 One word! COMPLETE!!!! Please make a 1/48 with the fast/strike pack included! This way, I don't have to go around looking to buy the extra accessories!!! Now, let me dream... A GBP armor, a fast/strike armor, a valkyrie in ONE BOX!!! For Christmas!!!! Make it $200.00 and I will buy it!!! Paulo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bub Posted September 2, 2003 Share Posted September 2, 2003 I am gonna get it because it wont have the QC flaws that Roys 1/48 has. Yeah! Positive thinking! The VF-1S will have all the improvements like in the nose cone and the flaps. Plus, the 90 degree elbow bends and the no-tab ni the nose gear doors (not sure if this is an improvement). But this will give us something to think about... Read on: When Yamato released the VF-1D for the 1/60 line-up which has the "L-shaped grove/trench" for its gundpod. In other words, it has primitive arms even if yamato ALREADY MADE the collapsible 1/60 gunpod. We hope that Yamato will not release the VF-1S Hikaru with "primitive flaps" and "primitive nose cones". I'm keeping my cool here but we all know it's the same company....................... Or maybe I just being paranoid. OK. I'll just spell it out to be clear: PLEASE YAMATO! Please release the VF-1S Hikaru with the flaps and nose cone IMPROVEMENTS!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Commander McBride Posted September 2, 2003 Share Posted September 2, 2003 I may pick it up, because I didn't get a Hikaru 1A. I may actually get it and repain it into a Roy, in fact, because it has the improvements. IT'll be in a while, though. The next confirmed for me is the Hikaru 1J, whose design I recently "fell in love" with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kamion Posted September 2, 2003 Share Posted September 2, 2003 Too many toys, not enough money. I'll have to give the Hikaru-1S a miss. I'll get the 1J though. Why-o-why did I buy all the 1/60s? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sebastian Posted September 2, 2003 Share Posted September 2, 2003 I have mine on preorder, but I am seriously considering to cancell it. I am kinda tired of the Dyrl designs. But I love SO much the 1/48!! Anyways I think I rather get two 1/js that a Hickaru 1S. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Omni Existence Posted September 2, 2003 Share Posted September 2, 2003 I missed Roy's 1/48 when it came out. Ran out of stock and not to mention some financial problems came my way. But I guess i can treat it as a blessing in disguise since Yamato was kind enough to release the Hikaru 1S, and on an improved version too! I ordered 2 of these from HLJ just so I can repaint the other one to Roy's colors. Anyone willing to sell their 1/48 Roy Focker VF-1S box?

Weaseldancer Posted September 2, 2003 Share Posted September 2, 2003 Anyone willing to sell their 1/48 Roy Focker VF-1S box?
