The site has been down for awhile, so I’m not sure if it’s up again. I purchased mine pre-COVID.
-
I'm keeping mine in fighter as well. Can't wait to place it on a Yeti!! I'll throw pics in as soon as I have a chance in the next few days.

Just opened mine and it looks gorgeous with the matte finish. I need to transform it and make sure there are no issues, but if it's in great shape, I'm receiving a second one today via DHL that I sell sealed here on the board.
-
I'll pile on. HLJ: Due today Okini: Arriving Thurs AmiAmi: Sold at cost to a board member and delivered directly to buyer yesterday I'm stoked to get this one. I never paid the back tax to get any of the Macross F Valks (and missed the first round of DXs for them).

Sounds about right. We have a fun thread commiserating on it.
-
Yeah, honestly, I LOVE the job they did. Incredible.
-
Thanks man and no doubt! Me too for that matter lol

Sweet! And I'm glad you shared. If anyone else finds themselves in the same boat, please share because I can aggregate feedback and share with them directly. At some point, I'll probably start a new thread to poll ask what the next decal release should be. For example, the DYRL 1A or the TV Hikaru 1S (and Supers) as these are almost identical to the Strike 1S stickers with only minor changes of color or different decal - like literally four or five differences. Or SDF-1 because these are pretty sought after. But I digress, because this won't be the place to get into those details. Assuming there is positive feedback and success on this, I'll post its own thread in the near future.

Hey buddy! I responded to you in the TFW2005 thread (we both use different SNs here but seem to have the same avatars ) The 1/55 releases all had pre-applied decals such as the one you are referring to. ToyHax opted to not release those in this first issue because it's assumed that you have them applied already. That being said, I did advise them to offer the pre-applied labels at some point because a lot of collectors enjoy refurbing and will need them. Or in your case, received it without the pre-applied sticker.

Hey guys, I'm super excited to share with you a project that I consulted on: Labels & Stickers for Labels for 1983-84 VF-1S BATTROID VALKYRIE - Toyhax Labels & Stickers for 1984 STRIKE VALKYRIE ARMOR - Toyhax These are repro labels for the 1/55 Strike VF-1S (the pics shown on their site are actually my Valk). For those who aren't familiar, ToyHax is an amazingly high quality repro label company. They're really well known in the Transformers collecting world; particularly, in refurbing G1 toys. They used a designer friend of mine to create them (he has designed for Adult Swim, Coca-Cola, to name a couple and happens to also enjoy Macross - though not on the board here) and I consulted on the project, tested prototypes etc. If this goes well, they'll produce more for the 1/55 line and possibly the old school TV SDF-1, Regult, etc. * Disclaimer: This isn't a sales push, and I don't receive any money for purchases, etc. I simply had an idea, presented it, and consulted on it. I'm just excited to share with fellow collectors who have long been looking for quality replacement decals.

There's a lot of "Please stay on topic" floating around - me included. So, I thought this would be a fun way to direct traffic as an overflow thread whenever someone wants to get off topic. Just suggest they post it here to the "island of misfit toys" where being off topic is welcomed. Be random. Rant. Post what you want as long as it is completely off topic!!!

If I recall, wasn't that the case this summer as well? And then we wound up getting the Supers if memory serves right
-
I'm looking forward to it as well @RedComet! I think you'll crush it.
-
Word. Thanks for taking the time to expound! I certainly appreciate the history and your involvement in it.
-
Very true my friend. I don't complain about it because I'm fortunate to be able to still collect these, ya know? But, looking forward to more announcements from Arcadia and Bandai when they come. Nora would be awesome, but honestly, I'd even love it if they started going back to some of their VF-1 Premium releases and amped them up with the weathering and paneling. They could do that without the need for new molds if they wanted.
-
So. Which one of you awesome customizers are gonna create a 1/55 VF-1A version like this? Inquiring minds want to know.
-
Arcadia too? (Which wouldn't surprise me)
