Looks cool. I'll have to try that. Plus try the fast packs on my VF-1D Virgin Road.

Preordered at HLJ.

HLJ will probably make a new listing.

All of the Valkyries are awesome.

I still remember this one.

Nice Macross Museum spanner76.

I like how this pic came out.

Just updated my collection thread on Toyark. Check it out.

YF-29B. The B stands for banana antennae. Lol.

You know what would be really cool for Bandai to do....to offer free yellow tipped missile inserts.....

Then.....we shall have peace....

Until then.....Bandai did not screw up anything on the HMR GBP-1J release except the missile tips...

Also for the record....the GBP is 100% DYRL based on the pilot alone....why? Take a look at the position of the hands.....on the first HM VF-1J Bandai specifically molded the TV Hikaru pilot holding the flight stick between his legs....on the HMR the pilot has both hands to his side.....Arcadia and Yamato do the same thing with their pilots do differentiate between TV and movie versions....

Plus....these are nowhere to be found in the HMR...

So basically, the Bandai HMR GBP-1J is the first ever DYRL version released as a set....a shame Bandai missed the yellow missile tips....

jvmacross you're still correct.

In DYRL, the VF-1J you refer to is piloted by someone else, not Hikaru....so Bandai did not screw up the pilot.....the GBP-1J is a DYRL type....what Bandai screwed up was the missile tips....

This.

Had this one on at work today! And lots of Depeche Mode.

Cool. Another Depeche Mode fan.

Better scaled.

Better scaled.

This is not.

That is weird. Please keep me/us update for more information. I myself had to pay upfront for the S.H.Figuarts Sailor Pluto after I preordered it day one (the invoice came a few month later). The same is true for the board members that ordered the S.H.Figuarts X Chogokin Hulkbuster from NY.

I will wait and see what they say about the MB Astray Red Frame once orders are up and keep additional funds ready if I have to pay upfront.

I chose pay later as well for the VF-1S Roy.

Here's my cheap Hulkbuster.

Preordered. I'll definitely buy a VF-1S Max.

Happy Back to the Future Day.

I was referring to the paint scheme only but yeah physically there are differences.

The Angel Bird are a pretty sweet paint scheme yes!

Its a little deceiving to look at as the "D" and other variants are pretty much identical from the very top of the chest piece to the tip of the nose cone and overall length when in fighter modes. The "D" chest piece doesn't have the little cut out below the head unit when in battroid which is only so the longer cockpit canopy can be covered completely by the blast shield when in battroid.

Nice.

My shrine to Max & Milia!

So gorgeous!

Very nice pic spanner76.

Pretty much this.

So differences are; Blast shield, height - due to a longer chest plate/nosecone for the two seater, and head.

Also you get the box and the M&M marriage pilots

The chest and the little plate on its back are also different.

That's a very nice pic.

We can't wait to watch the trailer today.

Just purchased my second VF-1D Virgin Road and VF-1A Cavaliers. Woo hoo.
