    Official 1/100 BANDAI VF Hi Metal VF-1J Valkyrie

    in Toys

    Posted

    Question. Just which parts are Die-Cast? (I get the impression that Hi Metal means majority in Die-Cast)

    Looks nice for the scale of it. Might consider a the possible Millia 1J or 1S Focker (If it's grey, and not white)

    Though as much as I love the VF-1... They could of given us something a bit different, like a VF-0... :(

    if its anything like the vf-19 fire then its mostly plastic .

    the hip/leg hinger bar - i think is metal and the ankles - maybe -

    i get mine this week i hope.

    what i dont get about the video is the title why call it robotech ?

    why not call it Macross ? Any way its a shame that the max and miria are exclusives

    I hope the theres general release of the vf-1s , vf-1d , vt-1 , and ve-1.

    Kaiyodo Revoltech 2G Thread

    the revoltech line is coming out with some cool figures . hopefully Kaiyodo won't be too

    random when it comes to figures. the whole line is nicely varied and thats great but i

    hope that the Alien series get more that than just 2 figures as well as Trigun . That

    being said i dont really want to see all the incarnations of each character . I really

    don't need to see 20 different color variations . I do want them to bring to make Mazinger

    and Knives and more than just one Predator.

    Post pics of VF-1 broken shoulders here!

    Posted · Edited by Macross73

    checked my vf-1s roy w/pak yep both shoulder are cracked

    i will add pics later on after i get a chance to check

    more valks

    Why not have Yamato directly give Graham a whole bunch of

    new shoulders to give out to every body here on this board.

    Just show proof that you have a damaged shoulder on your

    valk .

    As of right now I need 2 shoulder and 2 pins

    (gonna try filing these pins down)

    I hope i dont need any more.

    so am I to understand that THESE yamatos all have the broken shoulder

    My stand alone 1J Hikky is fixed as well, the hinge pins are noticeably smaller.

    I did get two broken ones, both the stand alone Focker and the Strike Hikaru 1A, but they're fixed up just fine now. It's an annoying problem to be sure, but if you know how to fix them, I don't think it's worth skipping those versions entirely.

    You might even get a bargain for buying potentially cracked ones, then fixing them yourself. :)

    I have yet to check my valks but can you pm me with info on How to Fix this problem.

    my idea is to check with local hobby shops and replace the pins . I'm hoping that there

    aren't any stress marks or cracks . If there are then what should be done?

    I have yet to use OD and it seems that for right now I will

    stay away . HLJ has been ok for the most part though

    i don't like not being able to add in stock items together

    after getting a payment request . When a package / items

    have yet to be paid for and So all they have to do is put

    them all together in to one box.

    amiami now offers sal registered shipping for packages within

    size and wait limiit and EMS if it exceeds that limit. I have placed

    several orders with them in the last month and have been very pleased.

    Now HLJ still gets my business with free shipping or significant

    sales. I use both right now. A majority of pre- order items cost less at

    amiami so I compare prices. I still use BBTS as well . it just depends.

    below is the english version of AmiAmi since they now ship to the US

    didnt know that about Iron Gear . I skipped over him when it was released

    because so many other figures were available

    I'm waiting for the aoshima getter robo renewal black version to

    get delivered . any body own one ?

    I saw a review and figured why not it looks nice and

    i like aoshima's work even though they really make

    getter 3 and I'd be all over it. i wasnt a big fan of shin getter 2 .

    the design wasnt for me - it was the skinny legs

    just gonna have to wait.

    I'm really undecided about the fewture es getter 1 2 3 . they're cute but

    do i really want them/ have to see what other folks think about

    them 1st.

    total pass on these guys

    unless these sell for $15-$20

    its not gonna work for me

    Doesn't feel like I'm getting my

    money worth.

    yes they look nice but how many valks

    do I need now that Yamato has finally gotten

    it right with the new 1/60 v 2.0

    edit:

    I was just thinking, why dont they go make an SDF-1

    bendable knees elbows rotating head etc

    I'd rather have that than another vf-1
