Does anyone know if Okiniland put up the full set of the GBP armor with the VF-1J or just the armor?

Just Armor set for now. This is TWE item. Next Wednesday is Armor parts with VF-1J DX and going to be sell on all general stores. PO madness expected. Good luck!

My goodness. TWE seems to be getting more harder and I think general release is impossible for me anymore. Thank you members for sharing the available links. Grab 1 from Okini.

Original VF-1 DX TV hands work in the armor, those are the hands that can hold the gun pod.

Oh ok, coz I don't see that gun pod hand in the Armor Parts photo. Thanks levzloi!!

I have not seen anyone mention about this, wondering the Armor Parts Only and Armor Parts + VF-1J, are they have the same contents? In the photo that shows Armor Parts only, it seems like not include any hands that can hold the gun pod. But the Armor Parts + VF-1J it comes with the hand that can hold the gun pod. Is that the difference? Or both comes with the hand that can hold the gun pod? Anyone know?

Nice pose in this angle .

The TV version Fast Pack is gorgeous.

I recently had an unhappy experience with NY. I found that this company is so unprofessional and very bad service. The incident was about one of my purchase, ES Gokin Garland. The toy was keep delaying year and year, because I pay up front and the money was kept in NY, last year I was asking if I could cancel the order because I have been waiting a toy for like 5 years and still not exist. They kept telling me that the toy will be available since the beginning of 2019. I kept asking them to cancel and they ignore my email. Until Nov 2019, the product finally here. They finally sent me the toy. But since then, whenever I purchase anything, during payment checkout, there is an error and cannot complete the order. I used different browsers, different devices, different cards...no joy. I contacted their supports, no response at all. Basically, I am ready to give up this shop because such an unprofessional company and they are not only one in this world. If they don't care loosing business nowadays, good for them. But NY really has bad service and I only asking cancel for the first time. Paid the money for 5 years and got nothing, asking for cancel I think is normal.

If that Minmei is just a fan created 3D render and not being made by any company then it should probably go in the Fan Works section.

It is a 3D render model.

Nice collection! 1st time to see 64x 1:48 all line up together. I don’t think my home have enough space for these beautiful birdies.

Macross 7 VF-11C with Protect Armor is a webshop exclusive. Calling it now.

I wish bandai or arcadia make this armor. Then we have completed the heavy armored pack for vf-11c, vf-0s, vf-1j, vf-25s and vf-31s. Still dreaming...

I like VF-25A

Received only VF-1A Max earlier in the week, but I was a little slow and hesitant (and busy with NYCC) to check for the shoulder issue and glad to say mine did not have the issue. I own three VF-1J Hikarus but never opened them and wow, Max's VF-1A was a dream to handle! I may have to crack open one of my VF-1Js to swoosh around. XD

How come you guys always have good eyes? Keeps finding issues from new toys...

NY just sent me shipping email. Max is on the way

Courtesy of Dengeki Hobby Web. Google translation of the sign on the right side in the last image is that the armor is definitely for the 31J, but was made for the expo. I don't know if that means we'll never see it again. Bandai makes a habit of teasing us with Macross prototypes at trade shows and then never following through with production, so I'm not holding my breath. With that said, it's a lot easier for them to change the colors on an existing product (31S) and sell the heck out of it in their never-ending quest to separate us from our money.

There is a big chance that this new VF-31J Armor pack is for the new movie “Macross Delta: Zettai Live!!!!!!”. This is my guess...

Got both of mine today, and I only opened the one (from AmiAmi). Fit and finish are excellent on mine; all joints are tight and feel good. She's a lovely variant, made all the prettier with the tampo livery everywhere.. After all these years, and so many valks, the basic VF/E model is still just a beautiful little fighter. But as nice as the plain bird is, everyone knows it's the unique AWACS Packs that differentiate the VE-1 from her fighter sisters, and mine all went on like butt-ah.  I saw the pic of Boobytrap's packs , and I would check first that the green bit that mounts to the VE-1's backpack is seated (there are little indents for it to tab into- it's a soft click when it goes in, but it shouldn't move around). Second, once that's properly seated, the large boosters will soft tab into the bit you just installed on the backpack. It was barely palpable on mine, but both indented, and maintain a proper straight profile.  As for the radome, it slots into the forward part of the backpack; if it's leaning, I'd check that backpack hinge to make sure it's not being tweaked. Good luck, Boobytrap! I hope everything works out so you can enjoy your new valk.

One thing of note that kicked my ass for a bit is that the two pilot figures are different. Maybe I'm the only one who didn't notice, but one has longer legs than the other, and he goes in the front pilot seat, while the one with stubbier legs goes in the WSO seat. I didn't look very hard at them when I took them out of the tray, and just assumed they were identical. You know what they say about assuming.  I would hope to spare anyone else the facepalm moment.

The VE-1 was really kind of a Grail valk for me, as I've never owned one, and over time, I've really come to appreciate the unique look of it compared to the other VF-1 variants.  So, today was a good day, and I think it was a good cap-off purchase so far as VF-1 variants go.  Going forward, I hope Arcadia will try their hand at some of Kawamori's other valks that have never been done as toys. I'd love a VF-14, VF-5000, VF-9, and a Variable Glaug- for starters. 

Yeah, the person who sit at the back got chopped his foot. I noticed that too.

Thanks for the link! Just woke up and saw this. Got my PO in! GO! GO! GO!                            LOL!

All shops will sold in 2 seconds 

My kids love the Konig Monster VB6. Since they were 5 and 7 years old, I watched Frontier all the time. Therefore, Konig Monster is their favorite. Even though they are not watching Macross with me now (cause I want them do more outdoor sports), but they told me Bandai Konig Monster will be their collections after I go to heaven 

By the way, they both gals 

 

That thing is massive.

I have the same feeling too.

Mine was shipped lastnight. But tracking still posting / collection. Is moving, but slow.

The Frontier 171EX Alto got snapped up quickly within 17 seconds (according to what Shin mentioned on another site) and I think Luca's was opened a bit longer.  Chuck's 31e has a foldable randome (unlike Luca's unit as an separate complete dish) and armed. With Luca's, the vane attachments are shown and not hidden (both on the 25 and 171), while with Chuck's, its the randome that folds in and stays hidden unless you know where to look for it.   

For some members, different transformation or hidden radome is a reason causing 31E sold fast. For me, because I want to complete the squad since I have previous 4x 31s. I bet this reason also causing 31E sold out fast.

Same here. Preparation in progress. I don’t want to wait again like my 31A.
