Really? Was this the MSRP of the first Yamato 1/48 scale VF-1A Hikaru?

They're cashing in on the GBP armor.

Well, they could still issue Max's custom VF-1A from the TV series or Kakizaki's custom VF-1A from DYRL.

Well, the easiest ones would be repaints. The TV version of Max's VF-1A or the DYRL version of Kakizaki's VF-1A would make sense.

If I had any model painting/toy customizing skills at all, I would've wanted to come up with a Zentradi paint scheme. Not sure about the SDF Macross canon, but in the Robotech universe, there was an extended conflict in South America betwen the humans and the Zentradi called the Malcontent Uprisings, wherein a lot of fallen earth mecha were scavenged by the Zentradi. You could go about it in two ways: a regular jungle camouflage pattern with Zentradi insignia or a green themed paint scheme that follows color scheme of the Zentradi uniform. I'll bet these would rock on a weathered VF-1A.

Wow. This news, along with the CF and GBP have renewed my interest in Macross toys. Hope this means Yamato still has Macross Plus license as well.

Everyone knows this is coming out this year, right? Valkyrie-Exchange even has it on pre-order. Was wondering because it's surpising to see little to no discussion on it.

You are correct. I don't know how I missed that. My apologies. H No problem.

I think the second option sufficiently addressed your concerns, friend. Regarding the usefulness of the poll, I didn't set out for it to have any particular use at all. Wasn't trying to collect any specific data or anything. I was just curious like everyone else.

I'd love to do this as well, if only I owned those Valkyries.

Thanks.

I don't know if all the details of the armor's release are already set in stone, but what if Yamato releases it in the same manner as the TV FAST Packs? Would it be okay with you if you could only get it as part of an "Armored Valkyrie" package?
