After shipping I paid $77, so not too bad at all, enjoy! I think this is a great figure.

Why does everyone want an M&M version of almost every valk out there? I love the 1J's, I personally hate the 22S, but 4G's, 19's? Really?

Damn I've already got a 1/24 ingram on the way, but I also just ordered a 1/144 super hcm pro red comet zaku, couldn't pass it up.

1/24 ingram Alphonse on the way, that's about it for me and Christmas, I already got a red mario wii, more airsoft crap, and now this silk encased figure, god damn....

I already contacted HLJ about it, they said they'll be able to send me one but it's such a small damn piece, but on the other hand I am still pissed I got two of the same piece so I'm gonna have them contact bandai and have them send me it. Overall I'm very happy with this 1S, it's VERY solid, and the small updates to the mold and the stiffer joints makes this one of my favorite valks.

Oh and on a darker and lighter note, first off the 1J looks pretty damn sweet with the super parts on him, but the 1J backpack is MUCH weaker than the 1S so it doesn't stay up very well in battroid. That aside when I got my 1S I received 2 left side open intakes, so yea that kind of sucks.

I just noticed something, the hi-metal 1J's pilot is VERY small, my 1S Roy looks proportionate so I guess they fixed this for future releases, I can't believe I never really noticed before it makes Hikaru look tiny.

Hm I might pick up a 1/24 ingram Alphonse while I can, this is the cheapest it will probably ever be. The blue one however, looks kind of tacky.

Exactly, besides I thought the intakes had to be removed on V2 yamato valks as well.

Yea but adversely screw yamato, I've bought enough crap overpriced products for them to not really care if I have to swap a heatshield or intakes on a superior figure, I've NEVER gotten anything bad from bandai, this is just my opnion of course so take it easy on me people.

I really don't mind the high skull, and yes it's tampo and not a sticker, I don't rage over the small things and I'm done with yamato forever. I personally love these hi-metals, I probably won't get the DRYL valks but if they do well I will be buying the eventual TV releases.

I was truly on the verge of getting on of these because I really would like to add a monster to my collection, but I really don't like any mac frontier stuff, I'd rather hold out for an original macross monster, oh and I just ordered a full hcm gundam 00 line lol.

Having kids and these expensive toys seems quite dangerous I really don't know how you people do it.

Wow really? I love Macross but they're just toys, I'm down to 5 valks now and I'm selling two on ebay as we speak because I'm broadening my collection to more than just the same valkyrie over and over in different sizes and colors. That said I HAD finished the Mac Zero line until now, I'm selling my Nora and CF SV-51's and keeping Ivanov, aka my favorite valk ever! I know the Mac+ line is small but I hate pretty much all of their designs except for the 11B, the 11C just isn't attractive to me, and the pilot looks really dumb.

Mine should be here by Tuesday, I gotta say I think I'm selling my 1/60 TV Roy and my 1/60 1D trainer. I like these things a LOT more, I have no use for 2 yammie 1/60's.

Are you implying because I don't like this I have bad taste? A bit ignorant me thinks, unless you're joking, I can never really tell on this site, many people nerd rage over the stupidest stuff.

Some people on this site would I'm sure, I might be in for a 1/60 VF-19S Blazer though....

I think the little perks on this thing are shaping up nicely, but three words for it, ugly, ugly, ugly. I still can't get past that Ronald Mcdonald/Megazord face, and the red scheme is tacky to say the best.

SWEEET

Anyone know an official release date other than just a vague November?

Hell yes I can't wait, one more month, but now I need some stand alone fast packs to get released so Hikaru's 1J isn't naked any more, oh and a TV Kakizaki and Max 1A please!!

It looks nice, but I really prefer the original monster not the frontier version, I don't like the transformable monsters look.

Sounds like the 1/144 MIGHT be okay, I'll have to read the descriptions closely, thanks for the heads up.

I just saw some fairly cheap exo-squad robotech destroids on ebay, what scale are they I can't find any info on them, with a good repaint and some weathering these guys might work if they're the right size.

That's fine, I'm not one to nerd rage over a figure being one or two centimeters too tall or too short.
