    Bandai DX Chogokin 1/48 VF-1

    Haha to be honest I must admit the DX is a better figure/toy, especially in battroid. But considering the roughly 15 years between the two. Yamato really did do an amazing job. 

    The Bandai was an evolution not a revolution.

    I did. But they canceled all of my orders. I'll need to snatch some up when they're released. So far every time I see something get released it's not a big deal to get them. Sure I'm paying a markup, but I already was through NY. I'll most likely get strike packs for less than NY was charging (I didn't have PO). I just picked up five VF-1S's from three different sources.......all less expensive than NY was. And who knows when if ever NY was going to fill those orders.

    In the future I'll be trying for things PO night. But if I miss out I'm not worried. So far I have been able to get everything for not significantly more than the PO pricing on the release date.

    For example, I just picked up a MB EVA-02 last night for $20 over PO price. I can live with that. That $20 is worth not stressing on PO night.....in the middle of the night.

    Yeah makes sense, to be honest I am only using NY because over in the UK they were the only site that sent the item as a gift and I didnt have to pay import duty here in the UK. Every other seller I have used I have had to pay import duty which is around after a 25% markup, so it adds up very quickly. But otherwise yes depending on how badly I want the item I will just buy after from someone else.

    I'm still playing the NY waiting game, like 701XXX, did buy on PO night after being cart jacked at the original price so paid the 25,800 Price. 

    I'm gonna keep it in battroid mode when it comes and keep the Yamato 1/48 VF-1S in fighter mode with all the fast packs and missles. I still think Yamato nailed the fighter profile all those years ago.

    I just realised that the packaging for the 1/48 isn't like the thick fold boxes of the VF-31 or the YF-19, which is rather disappointing. Sorry for stating the obvious. I thought the Max would have gone back to this style.

    I love mine in all 3 modes. The missile bar gives it a unique aspect.

    Also liked examining the engineering evolution from 25 to 30 and 31.

    I suppose it would be the 27 to 30 to 31a

     

    I much preffered the evolution from the 19 to 29 to 31
