I guess the good news if they do drop cheap enough, we could get them for $140 each and recreate the Yamato display!
-
Can say I am just a bit disappointed it looks exactly like the first. Their product promo photographer needs to have their white balance checked when doing those original pics. The 'product may look different than image' certainly held true on this one.
-
Well there is that pesky thing called the Pacific Ocean delaying the arrival of the toy to the states for a side by side comparison The front/back of the box are in the post above by betocc-that is literally the box. I'm glad to hear that its not a lottery event only anymore and anyone can grab one, which implies prices should drop a bit. I pulled the trigger and got one at $185 yesterday when I still thought it was lottery sales only, now I wonder if I should have waited a bit longer.
-
I guess some people have found a way to get more than 1 😛
-
Jeez I did say half joking Maybe will raise it to 60%
-
I was only half joking when I said 'If Bandai looks at which valks did not sell from the DYRL exhibit, then we will never see a DX VF-1A CF' No one was buying the VF-1As. Everything else sold out except for a couple Ds.
-
Well its out, waiting for some inside pics next
-
It appears as if the figures almost completely sold out And considering that the last one heavily in stock is the Cannon Fodder VF-1A, Bandai is probably seeing that and will never release the DX VF-1A CF. 😛
-
I'm thinking the original online pics may just look darker for whatever reasons and there is no color change. This was posted recently and it looks like the normal J coloring.
-
I am not the only one with the VF-1J thoughts lol
-
It looks like its a copy of the LS Legioss kit
-
The 'Hey look at this really cool model build I saw' post
Shawn replied to Shawn's topic in Model kits
Super nice 1/48 VF-1 Diorama! (I think 1/48, cause that is a lot of detail to pack into 1/72) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ke4ETVX52Tk
-
love this original box art on this, wow! Don't recall this angle before
-
Found some more amazing kits from this youtube user https://www.youtube.com/@rebirthtv7460 I think this is the Takatoku Henkei SDF-1 toy converted to an assemble yourself model? Misc others And another Takatoku 1/100 another Nichimo Defender, so cool
-
another box variant of the Nichimo boot-same one above-jump to 8:40 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jlXM3U6rK9Q
-
I think I'll say definitely stick with Nichimo with that comparison above. The Morinaga Gerwalk is very different (your pic, thanks! ha)
-
I would probably say yes, since we see the Yamato being blown up at the bottom of that rough sketch, and that was from Daicon 3 which he animated.
-
A few years ago there was a Hideaki Anno Exhibition, and there was an art book release. Finally found one for a good price, so picked it up Has some great pictures throughout his history, included 3 pages of Macross stuff. If you like this art, and who wouldn't, its great. Also-it is THICK.
-
I wish I knew where to find those! They took the Nichimo kits as the base and adjusted them so they don't need the center screw that holds them together Bootleg on left, original on right
-
That looks like a copy of the Nichimo 1/200 VF-1J Gerwalk kit, nice. I think I'd ignore the Takatoku Toys logo on the bottom of the bootleg Macross kit with Bandai 1/72 box art and 1/55 inspired sunset picture with the 3 type change text and vf-1s super label LOL I wonder what else they packaged into that generic box design. I dig it!
-
oh...you know what would be extra fun...if on each box they had which STORE it was the limited edition in...so you'd need to buy 2 of them to be complete. ha! * You can only choose one store to receive your lottery entry: either "TAMASHII NATIONS STORE TOKYO" or "TAMASHII SPOT OSAKA." You cannot apply to both stores at the same time. That would be truly evil
-
Just read this in the terms for the SLE. So you have to pick it up in person, and each lottery win is limited to one valk (or other special) So that alone has to help the collectability of this thing right? https://club.tamashii.jp/topics/tnstokyo_items_241031.php ・There are no plans for product delivery. Please apply only if you can come to the store during the purchase period. ・Each person may enter the lottery for one of each product.

The 50th is now selling consistently at around 32000($215 USD), where the original price was 33000 (with tax), so those sellers are potentially taking a slight loss. I think there was a limit of 6 per person online, thus the recent drop and market glut. The appeal (chrome finish) for this one isn't for everyone. The Store Limited Edition (SLE?) one is 22000 ($150 USD) after tax, but I've not seen the details on the lottery allowances, meaning could you get 6 like before? If you could buy 6, then yes I agree the price in a few months should definitely drop lower than the current 29000 ish price and float in the low 22000 ish range, which is a great price for a DX VF-1. Especially if you can also pick up the DX GBP armor for $70. But if it is a true limited release, then who really knows. Most collectors already have the original, and if it is exactly like the original other than the missiles, its probably only going to appeal to the more hardcore collectors who need at least 1 of everything.

ok ok I'll give you those 2 ONLY! Then NEXT!
-
So this would make original VF-1J GBP VF-1J 50th Chrome VF-1J Store Special Vf-1J I don't think we can take any more VF-1Js ....NEXT!
