Yeah, I had two in my cart when they first went up at NY with the lower price and then backed out. Regret but will see if it's easy to get at around the same price again after the lottery.
-
I think I paid about $280 for mine. It's on the way!
-
Pretty much sums it up! I removed the tiny hands and will probably never use them again...better off just removing whatever larger hand I'm using completely if I'm transforming to Fighter mode. Looks great as part of the HMR collection and I definitely don't fault them or anyone else for the design that just hasn't worked in 3D toy form. This tells me that I most likely will not want a DX 1/60 version just because it will be more expensive and not much room to improve significantly.

Messed around with my VF-2SS late last night and I'm not all that impressed...It's my only VF-2 toy and I know it's a difficult design to realize in 3d form but just it's not polished enough to me. Mainly, I don't like how most of it is just floating together in all three modes. I'm surprised to see some people conider this a better toy than the VF-1...the increased metal joints are a nice touch but it also seems like the toy would crumble without them so they were pretty much a must. Still, happy to add it to my collection but I'm not looking forward to a whole squad of every variant.

Your most recent Macross or toy purchase! General thread.

Noice!!! -
Haha, get right to the important stuff! Bottom line is, even if this doesn't look better, if it has other improvements or even just differences, it will be enough for many Macross addicts including myself to bite.

Man, the Yamato is tough to beat! There are a few minor improvements on the Bandai but it also looks squatter up top, looks pretty badass but not as heroic proportioned as the Yammie.

Fighter: VF-4G and VF-31F Gerwalk: VF-1s Battroid: VF-1s and 0s

Yeah, I really don't ever care if colors match on war machines. I especially don't care about matching colors to a bunch of online images of items with different lighting and calibrations. Does the toy look good? That's all that matters to me.
-
Just ocd regarding what parts are part of what set mainly...And the issue you mention would top it off if so. The stupid thing is I will probably never use the two seat configuration anyways. Collection quirks.
-
Haha, good idea but having incomplete sets drives me insane! Will see how it goes.
-
Aw crap! So there is a reason for me to keep the regular version? Arggggg Bandaiiiii!
-
I'm wondering the same.
-
It's fine to think that but whatever the case, the figure shown looks bigger than 1/60 based on the stand and the 19 next to it.
-
Thanks for all the updates!
-
I'm not expecting anyone to be able to make a wildly better looking VF-1 at this point. The 1/48, old 1/55, 1/60, 1/100 HMR and even a few others in between all look good with different strengths to me. My main interest is in new tech and engineering for my favorite transforming design of all time. It would be cool if this one has new transformation aspects, more solid feel and perhaps some more strategic use of metal parts.
-
Looks good to me!
-
It seemed like they would let me order multiples when I checked out. I added 2 to the cart but then backed out because I just paid for a ton of other things and Christmas stuff recently. I'm just glad I got one painlessly like I had hoped for.
-
Yep! Now I will never need to open my regular one and probably get rid of it at some point. Look forward to finally open a 31J and get it armored up for display.
-
Is it confirmed that this is just a repaint of the previously released VF-19?
-
Well, this makes it easy enough: https://www.nippon-yasan.com/figures/23360-macross-delta-dx-chogokin-vf-31j-kai-siegfried-hayate-immelman-custom-limited-edition.html

NBD, I was laughing at myself. Love seeing HMR news!
-
Haha, the one time I see news and post it here first, I still get 1 upped! Super Ostrich looking good!

And the Macross II ball keeps rolling! The next VF-2SS: https://mobile.twitter.com/amiamihobbynews/status/936109411268886528

Makes sense, thanks again! On another note, VF-31C Super Parts are regular Exclusive release so orders will be open for a while at places like NY or is it a regular release that will force us to play the F5 game?
